Thank you for this video the part that really answered my question about the offering even not with blood offering was still acceptable because it was for THANKSGIVING offering and not for ATONEMENT of sin offering that needs to have a blood.
I despise the fact that men like this always try to make scholars look like they're evil and want to decieve people to think or believe things that aren't true. There is and have been believing scholars that have had the same questions we have.
God says to Cain in Genesis 4:7 "if you do well (the way I have demonstrated, Gen. 3:21) will you not be accepted? and if you do not well (as in I will do it my own way) sin (which should have been translated SIN OFFERING, look it up) is laying at the door, and to you is his desire, you will rule over him" (be in dominance over, or have dominion). Meaning he will not run away, he wants you to sacrifice him. This is a picture of the submitted lamb of God, who willingly laid down His life. Cain and Abel are the express image of the "stiff necked" Israel and Jesus, the meek Christ. Cain is a "I will do it my way," Abel is "I will do it your way Lord." NO ONE ever ruled over sin, sin rules over the human, the human has no power over it, that is why we had to have a Savior. Sin is a hard task master, from which we are freed only by Jesus. God Himself is literally telling Cain why his offering was not accepted, there was no blood in it. God Himself in Gen. 4:7 literally is providing the lamb, as He does later in providing His Son as a sin offering to cleanse mankind. Up to that point they've only seen the blood sacrifice (Gen. 3:21) and that was the only method they had. The law had not yet been given for them to know the various methods and types of offerings. Where there is no law there is no sin. This, in fact, was a sin offering. Man's need to approach his God could be facilitated by this process. Sin is what separates us from God. This is also a preview of things to come. God teaches by pattern, and this verse (Gen. 4:7) is a brief capsule of the good news. Cain and Abel had a long standing disagreement because Cain had been raised as the one who was spoken of in Genesis 3:15 . Eve actually said "I have gotten a man, the Lord." The word "from" does not appear in the original text. Just like Israel did not receive Jesus when He came, Cain did not look upon Abel as the meek shepherd, but instead was puffed up with pride as the "chosen one". That is why he did not offer a lamb, because he would have had to get it from Abel, so God brought the lamb to him. Yet another picture of the loving, gracious God we serve.
He said they OFFERED thanks giving offering....but if thats so, Leviticus says a thanksgiving offering is what CAIN offered n ABEL offered a SACRIFICIAL offering by Faith...If faith is involved there must have been something to believe
Read the Septuagint/LXX version. There are many more details. You can research for yourself that neither the Septuagint, nor the source text (Masorestic scriptures) for the KJV are 100% accurate, but the New Testament quotes the Septuagint 90% of the time, while quoting the Masoretic 10% of the time WHERE the Septuagint and Masoretic do not agree. This offering of worship is dealing with the first fruit principle AT BARE MINIMUM. The Septuagint reads that Abel gave gifts, as in plural, not singular. It talks about the firstborn AND fatlings. Happy treasure hunting!
@@benjamincook9425 Abel's deeds were righteous where as his brother's deeds were evil. Abel is a picture of Christ offering Himself. Cain is a tiller of the cursed ground from which we come from and return too, meaning Cain was trying to be pleasing to God through his effort and hard work.
Do we always realize when we hurt someone in thought, word and deed? I doubt we have the capacity to realize every wrong we commit against one another. We just have to know unless we hold others higher than self we have not done well. Think about Luke 18:13 where the publican throws himself upon the mercy of God saying be merciful to me a sinner. But if he is a sinner can God hear him? Of course He can!
It was timing, Exodus 22:29, " thou shall not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits ". In Genesis it says "and in the process of time it came to pass"...he didn't follow instructions regardless if it was the best or not, Cain delayed.
@@vincentrusso4332ummm it did not state that Abel brought his offering early/first or before Cain. Matter fact it states about Cain offering first. So make yourself make sense again because u failed lol.
Somewhere something missing here in this interpretation. Size is not the criteria of acceptance. When Adam sinned against God, and God cursed the land.Finally verything turned against Adam. Cain brought offering from the cursed land but Abel conqured wht rebelled to his father and did sacrifice ( All animals was under Adam and he only given the names of all animals) with dominion. 🙏
Obviously not taking into account (Hebrews 11:4) "4 By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks." 1.) "By faith" Abel believed God about the kind of sacrifice he was to offer. 2.) "Offered a more acceptable sacrifice" It was Faith in God and in the sacrifice that was acceptable to God. 3.) "Through which he was commended as righteous" By faith Abel believed God and brought the sacrifice that was acceptable to God, based on this he was counted righteous. 4.) "God commended him by accepting his gifts" Because Abel came to God by faith and in bringing the 'blood sacrifice' that God had required God accepted his gifts because salvation in Christ and Him crucified, BY FAITH, was demonstrated. 5.) No man is acceptable in God's sight, not even Abel. God did not accept Abel based on Abel. Abel is not righteous because Abel was a better person. Abel believed God and worshipped God by faith in the blood sacrifice.
So close. 98% of people get the story wrong. Cain had murder in his heart and God noticed and tried to correct him. Cain continued and murdered Abel. Has nothing to do with best and everything to do with heart.
@@ATrueChristian I guess we kinda assume this was the first time giving to God. Kinda seems like this was a normal thing. In the New Testament Paul briefly mentions he was a murderer from the beginning.
what Cain did was to do just as his brother had done. he saw that Abel had killed, and that it had pleased God. as long as men believe that killing any animal is good, men will never stop killing each other
I am going to put a modern edition to the story Like if Aneo brought his best made Shirt and Tie for the church while Cain used second hand Jeans which are ruined like the cursed fruit
I want to ask a question.. Okay in the New Testament our sins have forgiven by the blood of Jesus. And in the Old Testament people's sins were forgiven by what?? I need the answers please..
I'm not a Christian and I didn't open this video with pure intentions but I'm glad I did, thank you sir! This actually moved something in me.
God bless you sir
You are a good teacher
God bless you.
God bless amen brother Zac
Wow. This is the first time I have ever heard this explained like this.
Thank you. This helps.
I thought it was your heart regardless to what you bring
Thank you for this video the part that really answered my question about the offering even not with blood offering was still acceptable because it was for THANKSGIVING offering and not for ATONEMENT of sin offering that needs to have a blood.
Thank you sir, it was an eye opening revelation
This is really good!
Amen 2JESUS Name

God bless.
If we ask ourselves now we all feel unworthy , you will guess at a million things you have done wrong.
If I am God and I knew Cain is going to kill his brother. I won’t accept it either.
God says to Cain in Genesis 4:7 "if you do well (the way I have demonstrated, Gen. 3:21) will you not be accepted? and if you do not well (as in I will do it my own way) sin (which should have been translated SIN OFFERING, look it up) is laying at the door, and to you is his desire, you will rule over him" (be in dominance over, or have dominion).

Most sensible interpretation I’ve heard. So many people and supposed experts get this wrong.
It does say that he is please with his offering tho
He said they OFFERED thanks giving offering....but if thats so, Leviticus says a thanksgiving offering is what CAIN offered n ABEL offered a SACRIFICIAL offering by Faith...If faith is involved there must have been something to believe
Right, but the levitical system was not yet instituted. So the reason why is he offered by faith.

AMEN!!!

Why would someone kill the other person without a reason brother? There must be some reason behind it, isn’t it? He is explaining the cause here.

Who had Cain offended ?
scripture not being applied correctly....
Listen carefully... He's giving an example of scripture not being applied correctly
I want to ask a question.. Okay in the New Testament our sins have forgiven by the blood of Jesus. And in the Old Testament people's sins were forgiven by what?? I need the answers please..
By Repentance and the Sacrifices (according to the Sin that is committed)
So if you issues with yourself or others God will ignore you.
Satan manipulated Cain to kill Abel - that is the narrative !! Period
