Whatever, James. I'm tired of dealing with you. Abimilech admitted he sinned, and you say he didn't. Whatever, man....
The sin was in taking a married woman. If this were not a sin, Abimilech would not have admittd to sinning against Abraham.
What you said was...
Obviously knowledge of sin, or the blatant breaking of God's Law is required to be held guilty of such sin.

And that my web friend is not of the Bible.
Weddog dude...do you not understand??
Abimilech is not admitted he sinned. God had said before he had not sinned. Look at what the text says man.
And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
Gen 20:7 Now therefore restore the man [his] wife; for he [is] a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore [her] not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that [are] thine.
Gen 20:8 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.
Gen 20:9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.
Gen 20:10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
In 9...we read..
Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him (him is Abraham)
It was asked..."Why has THOU done this? (thou is Abraham)
and he goes on to ask.."What have I (done to) offend thee? (thee is Abraham)
Thou (thou is Abraham) has brought (he brought...he setup...it was Abraham that had placed this before Abimelech) on me( me is Abimelech) and on my kingdom a great sin.
Abimelech is not saying he sinned.
God did not say he sinned.
God stopped him from sinning.
Abimelech is asking why he was setup to sin and would have sinned...if God had not stopped him.
You never did answer why Abimelech and not Cain.
My guess is that you will NEVER answer it
