Ok let me try it another way about CAin?

Question

Adam and Eve were the first and only humans they had 2 sons, who did Cain marry ???? NOD who lived their where did they come from?? Dont tell me the answer is that God made more than ADAM and Eve, it does not state that any where, so that is a flawed logic. Unless you can give me some proof of that?

Answer 1

You are obviously closed minded, and have already made your mind up. I assume that since you "know" that there was only 2 (Adam and Eve) that you have at a minimum taken a Latin, Greek, Hebrew course?
I will leave you with this, which is obvious to anyone who can read...
Genesis Chapter 1
26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, [a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

*And let THEM rule over the fish of the sea....
*You fail to believe that "man" means mankind, so therefore you think that it only meant Adam, if this were the case, would it not say "Let us make 'a' man", instead of what it does say "Let us make man"........

Answer 2

The Bible does not go into every little detail. If it did it would be huge! It doesn't tell us how many years went by between the birth of Cain and his taking a wife. I'm confident that there was plenty of time for Adam and Eve to have more children including a daughter who could marry Cain. Cain and Abel were mentioned because of being the first and becaue of their conflict. If God were to have created more humans I'm sure the Bible would have presented it. Although marrying your sister isn't acceptable now, then it was because the genetic decay was not a factor.

Answer 3

Why don't you try reading some of the excellent answers you get, instead of just trying "it another way about CAin?
Why do you insist on saying they had only two sons? What about Seth? What about Adam having "sons and daughters"? What about Josephus' saying that Jewish history says there were 33 sons and 23 daughters?

What sort of "proof" do y ou want?

We have shown you proof from the Bible. You ignore it and write again!!


Why do you say "they only had 2 sons".

There are 1,189 chapters int he Bible.

If you had read all the way through to the fifth chapter of the first book you would have found:

"This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth: And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.


So why do you say they "only had 2 sons one of which was dead" when the Bible itself says they had SONS AND DAUGHTERS.

And if you read the Jewish Historian, Flavius Josephus, you would know that Jewish tradition says that Adam and Eve had 33 sons and 23 daughters.

Answer 4

Here is a bit more info on Nod:

Some claim that the passage in Genesis 4:16-17 means that Cain went to the land of Nod and found a wife. Thus, they can conclude there must have been another race of people on the earth, who were not descendants of Adam, who produced Cain's wife.

And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bore Enoch: and he built a city, and he called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

From what has been stated previously, it is clear that all humans, Cain's wife included, are descendants of Adam. However, this passage does not say that Cain went to the land of Nod and found a wife. John Calvin, commenting on these verses, states:

From the context we may gather that Cain, before he slew his brother, had married a wife; otherwise Moses would now have related something respecting his marriage.

Cain was married before he went to the land of Nod. He didn't find a wife there, but "knew" (had sexual relations with) his wife.

Others have argued that because Cain built a "city" in the land of Nod, there must have been a lot of people there. However, the Hebrew word translated as "city" need not mean what we might imagine from the connotations of "city" today. The word meant a "walled town" or a protected encampment. Even a hundred people would be plenty for such a "city." Nevertheless, there could have been many descendants of Adam on the earth by the time of Abel's death.

Some claim that for Cain to go to the land of Nod and build a city he would have required a lot of technology that must have already been in that land, presumably developed by other "races."

However, Adam and Eve's descendants were very intelligent people. Jubal made musical instruments such as the harp and organ (Genesis 4:21), and Tubal-Cain worked with brass and iron (Genesis 4:22).

Because of intense evolutionary indoctrination, many people today think that our generation is the most intelligent that has ever lived on this planet. But just because we have jet airplanes and computers, it does not mean that we are the most intelligent. Modern technology results from the accumulation of knowledge. We stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before us.

Our brains have suffered from 6,000 years of the Curse (since Adam). We are greatly degenerated compared with people many generations ago. We may now be nowhere near as intelligent or inventive as Adam and Eve's children. Scripture gives us a glimpse of what appears to be great inventiveness from the beginning.

Answer 5

It also does not say he married his sister. So what are you really asking. Oh Adam and eve had 3 sons. Read your bible again. PS. This is where faith comes in. Incest is a sin. We know that for marriage to end up in the bible it had to be pure. God made more people, that is all.

Answer 6

It also doesn't state that he ONLY created Adam and Eve.

In fact, Genesis 1:27 says:
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

There is no mention of Adam and Eve here. That's not until chapter 2.

Occam's Razor: Choose the one that makes more sense.

God created exactly two people who bore exactly two sons where one of them miraculously spawned.
OR
God created many people, one of which is named Adam.

This is assuming the Bible is true as it's written, which is dangerous thinking.

But, if you accept the story of Genesis, there is no reason to assume that God only created Adam and Eve and that these two only conceived Cain and Abel.

Some slack has to be given. After all, the Bible doesn't say that people empty their bladders, but we have to assume the people did.

Answer 7

The bible only mentioned to sons. They had many children, who had to marry each other. At the time there were no laws against it and there wouldn't be mutations because of the perfect way God made the originals, not t mention the preflood atmosphere was so much better than todays.

Answer 8

I think that it is pretty reasonable to think that he married a sister. Remember that Adam and eve and Cain all llived to be hundreds of year old. Why,,, well because their genetics were originally programed to live forever. Please dont say that the bible says not to inner marry... because the Bible wasn't written then... and .. it wasn't written for Adam and Eve.

Answer 9

I am glad that your said that "it does not say that anywhere" I see that God has delivered you into my hand... It also does not say that Cain and Abel were the only children (remember Seth) and also how long they were in their fallen state before Cain killed able for jealousy... it was either his sister or his niece or a second or third cousin... hope that helps.

Answer 10

Read Ancient History. There were more people than Adam and Eve. That's just their story. But, if you want to be biblical, they had something like 134 kids, and they married each other.
