Great message! I’m dealing with a fellow believer who says Cain’s offering was a Minyah in the Hebrew, (sure I’m not spelling that correctly) which was not a required bloody sacrifice. I understand that but it was not what God wanted. He says that God never asked for a blood sacrifice and if Cain’s motive was pure it would not have been a problem at all. It was a gift, and he also says that the word altar is not mentioned at all in chapter 4. He simply believes Cain’s heart and motives were bad and that was it. I believe God required a blood sacrifice. He basically told me I don’t have a Biblical basis for that. I hate confrontation, but I feel like this maybe an essential point to our beliefs. I’m teaching a ladies Bible study and we’re looking at at Genesis 1-11. My Pastor found out that I brought this point out in class, (That it was all about the blood sacrifice). He approached me before worship and said “I heard about how well the class is going and that I have a theologian on my hands. Good work, I believe it was an atoning
Sacrifice God wanted and I’m proud of you for teaching the truth. I was so happy to hear him agree with me. What can I say to my friend, he sharply rebuked me in front of several people. It hurt me and angered me at the same time because I would never do that to him even if I disagreed on a matter. I love him as a brother and even if he has a different view, he shouldn’t be so hateful about it.

What other resources would you recommend (in terms of online articles, Glen mentioned that he read about 6 in preparation for his sermon) on this subject of Cain and Abel?
