It is a monotheist (One God) statement rather than a pluralistic atheistic (multiple gods i.e. pantheism) statement. This God is the God of Abraham and his decedents, but not merely of blood lineage. Abraham was named the father of the Almighty God by faith, not by works, for he was said to be righteous (righ doing) before the law was given. So it is his faith (by following the voice of His God) not his legal attitude. Many for instance interpret the law of Moses as something we all must follow - but succumb to legalistic attitude rather than understanding it as being in love with Almighty God and loving all people equally. i.e. the Sabbath was given to help people break free from 7-day slavery which is reflected in the Genesis account (Moses wrote Genesis in this view). Jesus came to reveal this same faith. Paul further elaborated within the book of Romans, revealing this faith is also not to be by law. It is from faith to faith. Hebrews twelve also indicates this.

What does by faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain by which he obtained witness that he was righteous God testifying of his gifts and by it he being dead yet speaketh means?

It just means that God asked Cain and Abel to give him sacrifices as an act of worship. Both Cain and Abel knew what kind of sacrifice God wanted - but only Abel gave the right kind. Cain (on principle because he was proud and rebellious) refused to offer God an acceptable sacrifice. Abel -was prompted by his faith in God (that is he truly understood who God was) and as such was careful to give God a sacrifice that was acceptable. Cain (full of rebellion and pride) gave what he wanted to give God not what God wanted. One sacrifice was pleasing to God the other was not - and the pleasing sacrifice of Abel - given from a right heart with a right understanding of who God is - caused God to see him a righteous. The example that Abel set by responding by faith and the righteousness that he gained through that act of faith - still speaks powerfully (witnesses) to us today about what it is that God requires from every person. It is an example of how we can be made righteous with Him on the basis of faith in Him - but that this faith always produces actions that are pleasing to God. It is those right actions which are proof that we have true faith - The apostle Paul wrote "faith without works is dead". (But also works without faith are dead. Kinda like advertisign without a company, or vice versa. How are you going to achieve.)

Is not there a contradiction between the faith that God is Almighty and the faith that he has a son while the fact that Almighty God doesnt need anything anybody and never get married like humans?

You are assuming God created a son because he "needed" to, God is ALMIGHTY and needs nothing and no-one, however he wanted to create, to give life, simply because he is a God of love and wanted to give life. No, God didn't marry. The term "Son of God" has a different meaning here. See the Related Link "Christian Answers: Son of God" for more information. If God almighty is absolute, then we as His creations are also gods. so what's the fuss?
