Lol, God rejected Cain's sacrifice because Cain wasn't Adam's son. Did anyone know Cain and Abel are twins?

The evil humanity posses from beginning till now and forever was passed down from Cain, he was the carrier of devils gene.

It was the condition of his heart and not the elements of the sacrifice
I think u are wrong on this very issue!
They both knew what was required of them to sacrifice nd wat d sacrifice must be made of because the question God ask Cain showed that Cain knew he needed to sacrifice,but intentionally didn't do it.
Read it carefully nd try to see d the questions asked him by God.
It was a sacrifice,not a gift so it must cost him something.
Cain didn't go d extra mile for d sacrifice.

I repeat, it was the condition of his heart. What was alluded to in Hebrews lend credence to this,"...by faith Abel offered a better sacrifice ". What makes it better is not spilling of blood. When David poured water that was fetch him by his men, was that not a sacrifice?

As a farmer that he was, would you have expected him to give what does not belong to him? If Abel were to be Cain, his sacrifice would still be acceptable cos of his heart.

AntiChristian:
I still can't believe it.

That God loves blood this much!

Must God kill something or someone to save people?


You and your friends are deleting my post

No one loves blood than Allah

Every year millions of animals are slaughtered and their blood sacrificed to Allah during Eid-al Adha, the animals are slaughtered facing Qibla, the house of Allah and incantations that must include the name of Allah must be recited before Allah can accept the sacrifice.

Muslims will sacrifice animals to Allah when doing naming ceremony

Muslims will sacrifice animals to Allah when doing special prayers

Muslims will sacrifice animals to Allah when doing house warming

But Allah is not satisfied yet, he also needs humans blood everytime:

Boko Haram are killing humans and shedding human blood for Allah and they shout Allah Akbar when they kill

ISIS are killing humans and shedding human blood for Allah and they shout Allah Akbar when they kill

ISIL are killing humans and shedding human blood for Allah and they shout Allah Akbar when they kill

ISWAP are killing humans and shedding human blood for Allah and they shout Allah Akbar when they kill

Talibans are killing humans and shedding human blood for Allah and they shout Allah Akbar when they kill

Al-Qaeda are killing humans and shedding human blood for Allah and they shout Allah Akbar when they kill

Al-Shabaab are killing humans and shedding human blood for Allah and they shout Allah Akbar when they kill.

All these have proven that Allah is a blood-sucking monster that continually demand his terrorists slaves to sacrifice human blood and animals to him everytime and they must mention his name while making these sacrifices.

Anyone who thinks another man have paid for his sins,is just not being honest with himself. Each and everyone of us will surely pay for the sins we committed by ourselves, no one will pay for another man's sins.

live4dgospel:
Mankind, who had eaten the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, came to have the different standard for good and evil from God’s. Then, which is correct, God’s Word or our judgment? Our standard is always relative and selfish. Therefore we should cast away our own ideas and simply trust and follow God’s Word focusing on “What does the Word of God say?” Ignoring God’s Word and seeking self-righteousness is Cain’s faith and religious belief. Abel put his faith in the Word of God he heard from his father, Adam, and offered the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. But self-conceited Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the Lord. God accepted Abel’s offering but refused Cain’s offering. It is God’s lesson that faith in man-made religions cannot bring salvation.
Man made religion Is there any religion not man made? Where are those God made?

The sacrifice of Cain is typical of today's world trying to seek God through the various religions and it's practices. Abel sacrifice is seeking God through the right and only Way, Jesus Christ.

Whoever wrote the genesis fable is an amateur. Inconsistencies, no character development, tension, and no major aim to begin with.

All the writer ended up depicting was that God is blood tasty and an arrogant bastard.

So much lesson. It's not by our might or by our power because man by nature is filthy with sin. However, through the baptism and sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we are saved. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that who so ever believed in him shall be saved.

The book of Genesis just shows God's favouritism right from Abel and Cain to Esau and Jacob.

Would they say God also checked the heart of the infant Esau and Jacob before proclaiming that Jacob would be the better one?

Any further explanation given is just trying to find an excuse why. I remember my elementary school CRS teacher telling us how Cain brought the worst crop he could find in a bid to justify the story. Why? Because even she could not find a suitable reason as to why God rejected his sacrifice.

live4dgospel:
(Genesis 4:3-7)

"And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the LORD. Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the LORD respected Abel and his offering, but He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell. So the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.”

God wanted to bless both Abel and Cain but Cain didn't offer the right sacrifice to God. He offered the sacrifice of his own devotion and efforts. God told Cain 'if you offer the right sacrifice I will accept you. Why are you angry? Shouldn't you do the right thing and let Me bless you?" But Cain stubbornly left God.

Like this, many Christians are offering the sacrifice of their efforts to God hoping that God would accept their sacrifices, they offer money, devotion, religious piety, daily prayer of repentance. God cannot accept such sacrifices, if we want God to accept us to His kingdom we must offer the correct sacrifice. This is evident, both Cain and Abel believed in God but they offered different sacrifices, God therefore respected one and rejected the other.

When Adam and Eve committed sin by disobeying God, God saved them from their sins by passing their sins to an animal and killing it. With this, God clothed them with the tunics of skin made from this animal.

This means that God clothed them with His righteousness, Adam and Even became the first people to receive the remission of sin. But before God made for them tunics of skin, Adam and Eve had clothed themselves by making coverings for themselves by sewing fig leaves, however upon sunshine the leaves would wither away exposing their unclothedness once more.

Therefore God clothed them with animal skin which is long lasting. Between the righteousness of God and human righteousness which one is better? Of course God's righteousness is better! This is the faith Abel learned from his parent Adam and Eve but Cain didn't learn this teaching on how God saved his parents when they fell into sin, instead he followed his human thinking. Abel became a righteous man by listening and believing in what God did to save their parents.

Likewise in the New Testament God allowed John the Baptist to pass the whole sins of the world to the head of Jesus Christ during baptism in the Jordan River and have him crucified on the cross shedding His blood. We must accept this sacrifice of God by faith and receive God's blessings, let us not become stubborn like Cain. God saved us through water, blood and the Spirit.

As it is written in (1 John 5:6)
"This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth."
Water means Jesus baptism (1 Peter 3:21) and blood means His death on the cross and the Spirit means that Jesus is God the Almighty who came in human flesh to save us.

This is the same gopel Jesus taught Nicodemus, that one must be "born of water and Spirit" to enter the kingdom of God (John 3:5)

In the present times, how do you know God have accepted our sacrifices or reject it?

It's like u still don't understand d difference between a sacrifice nd a gift.
Cain knew wat he offered won't be accepted in the first place nd he knew wat he needed to offer as a sacrifice.
Even if he was a farmer,trade by barter has been since ages he could have exchanged some of his products for a worthy sacrifice.
A sacrifice must cost u something for it to be accepted in the first place.
The questions God asked him showed Cain knew wat he offered was wrong nd him getting angry is also a sign that he knew wat he needed to offer.
