Bluesapphire;
That is an excellent question and one I have pondered for a long time. It makes no sense does it? In that same vein are why was Ables sacrifice acceptable while Cains was not? And the big one why did God demand a blood sacrifice in Christ for the act of eating fruit? I have questioned these things and am always researching. I would like to suggest a specific book for you to look at. It's rather dry but you will find some very interesting information that may answer your question. It is "When God was a Woman" By Merlin Stone
