1 | QUestions on book of Genesis | Heb 11:4 | Chusarcik | 117981 | ||
My Bible group is studying Genesis. We've come across some questions: 1 Is it true the fruit on the forbidden tree was a quince? If so, what is a quince and how can we get info on it? 2. Were Adam and Eve instructed by God to do blood sacrifices or did Abel just guess that was appropriate? 3. How close was the area Saddam was captured to the garden of Eden? Thanks, Chusarcik |

Chusarcik, I'll answer #2 for you at this point:-) Refer to Heb. 11:4, "By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, god testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks." I think are two reasons for this: 1. He must have heard from God (Rom. 10:17) because he offered it by faith. The text of Genesis doesn't say so, but it must be so ( Hebrews actually provides clarification on this). The inferred sacrifice comes from Gen. 3:21 "Also for Adam and his wife the Lord God made tunics of skin, and clothed them." It is most likely implied this was passed on to Abel. 2. Hebrews 9:22 says,"... and without the shedding of blood there is no remission." This is an eternal principle. Further, in Gen. 3:17 God had cursed the ground! Abel offered a "blood sacrifice",Cain's was of the ground (fruit). I hope this helps, BradK |

Thank you very much. This answers question number 2 beyond expectation. Can anyone answer questions number 1 or 3? Here they are again: 1 Is it true the fruit on the forbidden tree was a quince? If so, what is a quince and how can we get info on it? 3. How close was the area Saddam was captured to the garden of Eden? Happy Easter Brad K, Chusarcik |

Q1 JCrichton gave an excellent answer Q2 BradK gave a good response. But, the Bible does say if Adam, Abel or anyone knew about blood sacrifices. Q3 It doesn't matter where the Garden of Eden WAS ... the Flood (Gen 7) covered it up. |
