The first act of divine mercy after Adam eats of the forbidden fruit was to give Adam clothing -- in response to Adam becoming embarrassed to discover that he was naked. The Bible notes numerous acts of mercy from that point onward, little things like sparing Lot and his daughters when destroying Sodom, showing Hagar a well to save baby Ishmael's life, giving Rebecca a child, and more. I'm not out of the book of Genesis yet.

How did the first murder in the bible affect the attitude of the second murder in the Bible?
After Cain killed Abel (the first murder in the Bible), he was very afraid that other people would kill him because of what he had done. To protect him, God marked Cain and said that if anyone killed him, that person would be repaid seven times over. The second murder in the Bible was committed by Lamech, a descendant of Cain. Lamech had apparently heard about the mark that was put on his ancestor, and Lamech (not God) told his wives that "if Cain is avenged sevenfold, then Lamech seventy-sevenfold." Thus, the protection given to Cain because of his fear of the consequences of his wickedness inspired Lamech to boast about his own. == ==

In the Bible Adam two son started wrestling what is the story?
If you're talking about the story of Cain and Abel, Adam's sons, it is the story of the first murder. They both were giving sacrifices to God, and Abel willingly gave his best lamb, while Cain grudgingly gave some of his plants. God looked with favor on Abel, not Cain, and so Cain ended up killing Abel. God cursed Cain, and Adam had another son, Seth I believe, that took the place of Abel as the 'good' son, and the line Noah (of Noah and the ark) came from.
Did god like Cain?
Short answer - God probably had divine love for Cain, but that doesn't mean God "liked" Cain's actions and choices. Cain decided to openly rebel against God. Cain's rebellion toward God wasn't temporary, it was a permanent condition of his heart. In effect, Cain alienated himself from God's Favor and Love. Remember, Cain was "cursed" only after he refused to repent and change his relationship for the better with God.
