Since Romans 4:15 says without Law there is no transgression, how could Cain be charged with the murder of his brother Abel? You cannot violate or transgress a law that does not exist.
Father Adam was created in the image of God. When he sinned, he received a sentence or curse because of his disobedience to the divine will.
