Amen, TG; I also believe that we don't get cliches by accident, and find that "snake" as a euphemism for body parts also speaks here, over and above the laugh.

This verse should be a stand-alone destroyer verse against the serpent seed doctrine.
The fact remains, (depending upon the strength of your Calvinism) Cain still had choices. Had he done well, his brother Abel’s desires would have been subservient to his own, and he would have ruled over Abel. He chose a violent resolution instead. The sin of envy and murder was at the door, and he (sadly) succumbed to it.
Cain knew the difference between good and evil and chose evil. “If thou doest well”, and “if thou doest not well” make it clear he had that choice to make.
If he is the serpent’s seed, how could he possibly have a choice?

Amen. Cain had the same chance at salvation as anyone, and I don't find serpent seed trying to refute this. Your dad could be best friends with Alistair Crowley, and you could be on fire for God.
