Just makes sense that God would keep an equal watch on all his children. Why would he play favorites?

Why would he play favorites?

Maybe for the same reasons that teachers do. Or maybe for the reasons that parents do (and then deny it.) Or maybe for the reasons that executives do...or sales managers...or movie directors....

But you never told me. On what do you base your opinions?

Who are God's children?

In John 8:44 Christ was telling the Jews that the devil was their father.

So who are God's children? Or should I ask how does one become a child of God?

Why would he play favorites?

For the same reason that He decided to reveal Himself to the Jews first and referred to them as the apple of His eye. He is sovereign. He answers to no one but Himself.

Why did He choose Abel over Cain?
