Abel died so early in earth history Jesus used the term "since the foundation of the world."

Since the foundation of the world was a way of saying from the start. It's a figure of speech, like straining a gnat while swallowing a camel. Or do you suppose Jesus literally meant that some people swallow camels?


You don't believe Moses was able to communicate God's Word to us. How in the world do decide which of Jesus' Word mean what He says?

"Only Christ is the fullness of God's revelation."
