1 | 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. | ||||||
2 | Abel's sacrifice better than Cain's? | Heb 11:4 | Paulfromnys | 25855 | ||
I believe the key here is faith, especially sinse this appears in Hebrews 11, a chapter dedicated to faith. I think that Abel slew his lamb offering to GOD by faith, and had a clear revelation that this innocent blood had to be shed to cover the way he related to GOD. Cains sacriface on the other hand was an offering from Cain to make things OK with him, and GOD, a sort of religious thing. | ||||||
