Sorry about that.

I have but one thing to draw your attention too, the reference to the blood of Adam. I do not believe that the above revelation is wholly complete, not that is necessarily wrong but that it seems to be slightly shallow. I believe that the scripture is pointing not to the innocence of Able (who is after all born a sinner) but rather to the sacrifice which he made on the alter. Cain’s sacrifice The Lord did not acknowledge because without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin(Hebrews 9:22). Though they both brought the best of what they had, Abel brought a blood sacrifice to cover his sin, Cain could make no such claim. The superiority of Christ’s sacrifice was that it removed the sin, made an end of transgression (Daniel 9:24) and bruised the head of the Serpent though it had bruised his heel. Genesis3:15
