I agree that it wasn't self-righteousness, but faith that made Abel give an acceptable sacrifice to God.Michael40 wrote: ↑07 Jun 2020, 13:41 One man stood out, wrote history, and then made God condemn an act which automatically leads to a yardstick for judgement and punishment for the culprit. On the other hand, God accepted his spirit by wresting him from the demons because of his faith. Abel becomes a hero of faith when he sets that standard. It was not self righteousness that made him offer God an acceptable sacrifice, it was faith.

I can't agree with you anymore. As a Christian I believe that faith is fundamental; even the Bible alludes that with the faith of a mastard seed, one can move mountains.Michael40 wrote: ↑07 Jun 2020, 13:41 One man stood out, wrote history, and then made God condemn an act which automatically leads to a yardstick for judgement and punishment for the culprit.
