Did Jesus Christ die for our sins?

[A New Dawn]

The Bible does not say: “Cain’s sin was offering up plants instead animals”, but Abel offered his best and Cain seems to have been selfish holding back the best. There were righteous grain offerings, so that is not evil.

Heb. 11: 12 Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother’s were righteous.

Jude 11 Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error; they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion.

12 These people are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm—shepherds who feed only themselves.

You are reading an awful lot into the text. Here are the verses.
Gen 4:3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD
Gen 4:4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering
Gen 4:5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

The respect was not just for the bloody sacrifice, but for Abel and the offering. and the rejection was to Cain and his offering. The heart of the worshipper has always been the determining factor. Cain's actions were evil and not the sacrifice he made. Grain sacrifices were made to God.

Where is there anything in those verses to suggest that Cain had the wrong heart condition? The scripture says he became wroth AFTER God rejected his offering.

It is not in that one verse but:

Looking back a thousand years at someone because of the violence that they caused after a specific incident doesn't reveal what their frame of mind (or heart) was before the incident. The text says that Cain became wroth AFTER the Lord rejected his offering, and that is when he chose the path he later followed. I'm just saying that the Bible is fairly silent on Cain's state of mind before the incident happened, and we should be, too.
