Samie Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 Jesus Himself called Abel righteous. Quote NKJ Matthew 23:35 "that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. He was among the men of faith of the OT: Quote NKJ Hebrews 11:4 By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks. Was Abel's righteousness his own or was it because of Christ, the Lamb SLAIN from the foundation of the world? Any thoughts, forum mates? Quote

Yes I do have a thought! Does it matter?? If Jesus called him righteous, than he was righteous!! Or are you just interested in another thread of just jabbering at anyone that doesn't agree with your thoughts?? Sorry for saying this, but that is my thoughts!! And I'm sticking to them!!

Any thoughts, forum mates? 20 I am not asking on behalf of them alone, but also on behalf of those who will believe in Me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 I have given them the glory You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one—….John 17 11All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, who apportions them to each one as He determines. 12The body is a unit, though it is comprised of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one body. So it is with Christ. 13For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free, and we were all given one Spirit to drink.… 1 Corinthians God is Love!~Jesus saves! Quote Lift Jesus up!!

If it does, then sorry. It's not intended to jab people. English is not my first language. Quote
