Good catch there Helen...they have so many feasts!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have heard said that the very first sacrificial offering was when God made clothes from animal skins for Adam and Eve to cover themselves with. So, could that not have been a sacrifice for their sin? So, it could be the manner of Cain's offering, his heart/attitude or a combo of all??

Yes, good question on Cain's "first fruits" I could see if this was a sacrifice for "sin" but, how do we even know that? Hebrews 11:4-6: By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and...

Wonderful post! Oh how I pray for that visceral compassion, especially when praying for those I do not know...but God knows them and hears us none the less ♥ I ask for a heart to love the worlds "unlovable" ♥

I see a big difference between the parables...almost some to a totally opposite degree! As far as the "age to come"...whole nuther ism-type/thread IMHO :) Good stuff to mull over though!

Wonderful answer Deborah! And, since you echo other good brothers/sisters on "attitude" here, and, you have cleared up the non-blood issue (Ha!) sacrifice of Tribute- it seems plausible that attitude of heart is what God was looking at ♥ "because his own actions (note the plural - it wasn't...

She is blessed beyond measure, everyday ;)

"As in...I have experienced such and such miraculous provision or visitation...therefore (add in erroneous conclusion here). God gives us samples of things to bring us into His life. It's about life, not experiences. If you are walking in His life you are walking in a perpetual visitation.... a...

"you will not end up preaching to the choir here." Boy, you got that right, hahaha!

"Anything that we deem we want within it's pages...we claim for ourselves. When we find that the grace of God is given freely...we immediately claim the free stuff for ourselves. After all, it is OUR bible, and anything that we want in it is ours for the taking. So we bring the same covetous...

Yes but, this does not mention lack of Cain's "faith". So, maybe we are to surmise this through Hebrews 11:4 ? What "type" of sacrifice was it? Could have been a sacrifice of thanksgiving or something else?

Yes, I hope there will be some good reply's, not to mention, was this a sacrifice for "sins" or something else?

Oh yes indeed! And, they are the ones who are not easy to love. In my old local Church, there are a good handful of "users", they lie and they steal and only God knows what else so...yes love them but, I now hold these people at arms length because I do not trust them. :(

Could it be that it was not offered in faith or because the fruits of the ground had no blood? Anybody out there who might clarify this? @"ByGrace" @Butterfly @Pearl ...

We keep losing the good ones :( Although, I certainly understand what you are saying. I had almost left a while back until someone I love and see as my mentor on here, lol said I needed a thicker skin and, I agreed. Historyb, I wish you well in your spiritual endeavors. GO with our prayers...

Well, I should have said that is why most PEOPLE will choose the wide road rather than the only true way-Jesus and the narrow road.

It is nice to see your presence on here @amadeus ♥

I might not have that gift but, the Word does say "Therefore, my brothers and sisters, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues" 1 Corinthians 14:39. This can be a confusing subject. I have always saw the tongues were for the folks who did not speak the same language as...

I suppose that is why most will take the wide road :(

@Rollo Tamasi !!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice to see you visiting. We miss you very much! Too many good ones have left us :(
