Well, what Cain as a farmer and Abel as a shepherding is not God focal point. Its a sacrifice. God gave them guideline to show them how to receive God's forgiveness. Its start with Adam where Cain and Abel been taught what Adam been taught by God. Since the fall of Adam and Eve, bec sin destroyed there fellowship with God. His holiness is like clorox and our sins are like bacteria, like clorox kills bacteria same as His holiness destroys sin. We are stain by sin. Then how to get rid of it? The blood of the lamb. Veg and fruit doesn't. Sin remains. That's how thru the old testament showed about the coming of Messiah. Its not how faithful or how we try to live up to make God happen, sins remains. That's why in geneaology came about as the time comes, God chosen virgin Mary, as Jesus gave up His glory to come down to become human like us, but no sin in Him. That's how Joseph thought Mary must ve slept with someone else. Now, not the christians, but some of the religion believe God has sex with Mary, which is not true. He came here to die so we can have access to the Father. Jesus is a Sacrificial Lamb to draw us to Him. His blood once for all our sins been forgiven, past, present and future. Its for all mankind. That's who we believe. And its beautiful message of Go's love which no other have. That's the point about Cain and Abel. Its not God favors Abel bec of shepherding and Cain is the farmers has to do with Go's favor, and God honors both and pleased. Problem is Cain doesn't do what he has been taught to do. Sin took strong hold again Cain that lead him jealousy and murdering.
