Answer 2

The Old Testament does not tell us how many children Adam and Eve had. Scripture mainly focuses on the males which are born to a set of parents.

Where did Cain's wife come from since scripture does not mention any other children of Adam and Eve?" The answer is found in three facts: 1) Scripture does not record the name of all of Adam and Eve's children. 2) There can be long periods of time elapse between the children mentioned in scripture. 3) Cain married his sister.
Not Every Birth Mentioned. Scripture does not always mention every child that is born to a husband and wife.
In order to populate the earth, brothers and sisters had to marry each other

Further, the genetic problems associated with marriages within a family would take some time to develop. It was not until much later that God prohibited this type of marriage.

Answer 3

They didn't just have two children. I don't remember if it lists the children by name or not, but Cain and Abel were just two of them.

The Bible also says that the children went out into the world and found their wives in already established towns, which begs the question: if Adam and Eve were first, where did these others come from?

I believe that the Bible is inspired by God but written by man with limited understanding - so the Bible is a mix of parables and misunderstanding on the part of the human writers. Remember, many of these stories were handed down in the story-telling manner - they weren't written, they were communicated by the spoken word - memorized. It's like the game "telephone," where you whisper something to someone who whispers it to someone else - and by the time it's gone through 7 people, "My dog is yellow," has become "There's a stain on the carpet."

Answer 4

First of all there were people before Adam And Eve. In Gen 1:28 it says to replenish the Earth, you can't replenish something that didn't already exist. In Gen 1:27 God makes man and woman yet Adam isn't created until Gen. 2:7 and Eve in Gen. 2:18-23. Most Christians Say that Gen. 2 is the details of Gen 1, but read it closely and you will see that God first created man and woman at the same time in His image. A little later he created Adam and then later Eve. The human creation in chapter 1 & 2 are different situations, not the same. Now when Cain was thrown out he was afraid that the other people would slay him Gen. 4:12-16 also proving that there were other people. Now I am going to do another big no-no in the church world and step out of the Bible to other scriptures for proof. In the "1 Book of Adam and Eve" 74:6 it tells us that Cain had a twin sister named Luluwa whom he later married, in chap. 75:11 it tells us of the births of Abel and another daughter named Aklia. In "2 Book of Adam and Eve" 2:3 it tells us of Seth and he marries Aklia. So with logic and history there was incest, at least in this family, but how does anyone know that there weren't abnormalities and deformities? Everyone is just assuming that they were normal but maybe not. Now since there were other people maybe Cain and Seths children went outside of their family tree to find their mates thus in time correcting the incest problem. Adam and Eve only had five children, Cain, Luluwa, Abel, Aklia, and Seth. In the book of Jasher 1:12 it say that Eve had two sons and three daughters and later came Seth adding one more daughter than other scriptures mention. If Christians would be willing to read scriptures other than the Bible they would find the answers, but churches have them convinced not to do this.

Hope this helps

Answer 5

Only three of Adam's children (Cain, Abel, and Seth) are explicitly named in Genesis, although it does state that there were other sons and daughters as well (Genesis 5:4). In Jubilees, two daughters are named - Azûrâ being the first, and Awân, who was born after Seth, Cain, Abel, nine other sons, and Azûrâ. Jubilees goes on to state that Cain later married Awân and Seth married Azûrâ, thus, accounting for their descendants. However, according to Genesis Rabba and other later sources, either Cain had a twin sister, and Abel had two twin sisters, or Cain had a twin sister named Lebuda, and Abel a twin sister named Qelimath. In the Conflict of Adam and Eve with Satan, Cain's twin sister is named Luluwa, and Abel's twin sister is named Aklia.

Answer 6

Adan and eve had several sons, not only Habeel and Kabeel

each pregnancy Adam and Eve would marry the sisters to another brother from another pregnancy and so on...untill the marriage of the sister from another pregnancy was forbidden

Answer 7

Genesis 5:4: "After the start of Seth, Adam lived yet another 800 years, and HE HAD different little kids." How did we proceed to populate? Adam's little kids might want to have married both their brother or sister, or aunt, uncle, cousins. There might want to were no issues genetically as they were nonetheless so on the point of perfection. by using the time of Moses, God gave rules regulating marriage and outlawed incest.

Answer 8

Lilith isn't even in the story of the bible, she is in the old Arabic and Jewish tales and portrayed as a succubus. In that story she was Adam's first wife but was rejected by adam and god because she refused to be subservient to adam because they wree made out of the same dirt. She was cast out of eden, grew wings and flew away turning into a demon-woman who hunts men, seduces them and drains their life with a kiss. Jewish mothers believed Lilith would come to take their children away and eat them. She was cast into the village outside of eden. As a matter of fact, in the same tale, there was a second "eve" created for adam but adam wanted to see watch the creation of her so god allowed this. But after she was made adam was so repulsed by the process that he couldn't bring himself to touch the new eve. So she was too cast out. It was in the night that god created the 3rd and last eve and presented her to adam.
There were people before adam and eve...but most christian people won't acknowledge that. Evidently they like the idea that we are all here as a product of the same two people.
Ew.

In Greek myth, she is the goddess of the dark moon (Artemis is the goddess of the full moon, and Hecate is the goddess of the crescent moon).

In Mesopotamian legends, Lilith is a fertility/earth goddess who protects people's children and helps to harvest food.

There are tales of Lilith in just about every religion known to man, lots of different names used for her but in nearly every one she is portraid as a winged, demon women who hunts and kills men and sometimes children.

Answer 9

Adam and Eve had many children, they only specifically named Cain & Abel because they were the victim and perpetrator of the first murder. They married their sisters, neices, great-neices, etc., which explains why humans are so mixed up.

Answer 10

Cane married one of his sisters.

Now, when you stop to think about that, and you realize the genetic damage caused by siblings who marry and have children (they used to be called "mongoloid", now referred to as "down syndrome"), and WE are their children. Imagine what Adam and Eve must have been like.

But - wait - Can and his descendents died in the flood, because Adam and Eve had another child, Seth, of whom Noah was one of his descendents. Seth married a cousin.

Answer 11

Gen 5:4 tells us that Adam had other son's and daughters
