1 | Why did God have no regard for Cain? | Heb 11:4 | Robert | 11 | ||
I do not know the reason, because the reason is not given in the text. Therefore, I do not think it is appropriate to declare that we know the reason. As to a possible reason, we have examples in scripture of God refusing a sacrifice, not because the sacrifice was bad, but because of the attitude of the sacrificer (see Amos 5:21-24 for example). Provision was made in the Mosaic Law for grain offerings (Lev 2). Also, a poor man could even use a grain offering as a sin offering (Lev 5:11). | ||||||
2 | Abel's sacrifice better than Cain's? | Heb 11:4 | Robert | 7 | ||
The idea that the problem with Cain's offering not being a blood offering is interesting, but not supported by the text. In fact, the Genesis account states, "And the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering; but for Cain and for his offering He had no regard"(Gen 4:4-5). It appears that the emphasis is not upon the offering, but on the person. | ||||||
