Please be serious........who did Adam and Eve's kids marry?

Answer 1

I seriously answered this before. I hope it sounds so.

If you believe the story literally, then it isn't much of a leap to assume God created a couple of wives.

If you don't believe it literally, you could point to Cain's concern that others would kill him (Genesis 4:12-15) and assume there were other people on the earth.

And if you believe it is just a story, then don't worry about it.

Answer 2

Genesis 4:17 says, "Cain lay with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch." Who was his wife? It is implied in the biblical text that Cain married one of his sisters. Several facts lead us to this conclusion.
First, it is clear that Adam and Eve had a number of children. Genesis 5:4 says, "After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters." Since Adam and Eve were the first man and woman, and since God had commanded them (and their descendants) to be fruitful and multiply (Genesis 1:28), it seems reasonable to conclude that Cain married one of his many sisters. It is also possible that he married a niece or even a grandniece.
One must keep in mind that in the early years of the human race there were no genetic defects that had yet developed as a result of the fall of man. By the time of Abraham, God had not yet declared this kind of marriage to be contrary to His will (see Genesis 20:12). Laws governing incest apparently did not become enacted until the time of Moses (Lev 18:7-17; 20:11,12,14,17,20,21). Hence, there was no prohibition regarding marrying a sister (or niece or grandniece) in the days of Cain.

Answer 3

People say "Read the Bible" but the fact is, it doesn't explain this problem. Consider too that Cain asks God to put a mark on him to protect him from the others - so Adam & Eve must not have been the only family out there. These are two good examples of why it is problematic to read the bible literally. If you do take it literally, you have the first children committing incest...which is a bigger sin than homosexuality, I think.

Answer 4

Cain married his twin sister Luluwa and Seth married Aklia.

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

The Bible does not specifically say who Cain’s wife was. The only possible answer was that Cain's wife was his sister or niece or great-niece, etc. The Bible does not say how old Cain was when he killed Abel (Genesis 4:8). Since they were both farmers, they were likely both full-grown adults, possibly with families of their own. Adam and Eve had surely had more children than just Cain and Abel at the time Abel was killed - they definitely had many more children later (Genesis 5:4). The fact that Cain was scared for his own life after he killed Abel (Genesis 4:14) indicates that there were likely many other children and perhaps even grandchildren or great-grandchildren of Adam and Eve at that time. Cain's wife (Genesis 4:17) was a daughter or granddaughter of Adam and Eve.



Since Adam and Eve were the first (and only) human beings, their children would have no other choice than to intermarry. God did not forbid inter-family marriage until much later when there was enough people that intermarriage was not necessary (Leviticus 18:6-18). The reason that incest often results in genetic abnormalities in children is that when two people of similar genetics (i.e. a brother and sister) have children – genetic defects are far more likely to result because both parents had the same defects themselves. When people from different families have children – it is highly unlikely that both parents will have the same genetic defects. The human genetic code has become increasingly “polluted” over the centuries as genetic defects are multiplied, amplified, and passed down from generation to generation. Adam and Eve did not have any genetic defects, so that enabled them and the first few generations of their descendants to have a far greater quality of health than we do now. Adam and Eve’s children had few, if any, genetic defects. As a result, it was safe for them to intermarry. It may seem strange or even disgusting to think of Cain's wife being his sister. In the beginning, since God started with one man and one woman, the second generation would have no choice but to intermarry amongst themselves.

Answer 6

I will certainly be serious. Adam and Eve probably had an estimated 50 some odd children. The Bible only talks about 3 of them but it does say that they had many children. It didn't say how many but given the longevity of them then we can assume they had probably over 50 children. Back then, brothers had to marry sisters in order to be fruitful and multiply. God knew what He was doing and the laws about marrying your own relatives did not go into effect until the time of Moses. Until then, it was necessary and God knew this and allowed for it. This is all Biblical and if you read your Bible you will see it is true. The law of not marrying you own kin wasn't until the time of Moses and the 10 commandments. Lets face it, God created man and woman and He can do with His laws as He pleases. He allowed for this at the time because it was necessary.

Answer 7

According to the "book", Cain and Abel journeyed to the Land of Nod and found themselves a wife there. IMHO, just another one of those amazing contradictions the book is so famous for. Personally, I do not believe Adam and Eve ever existed in the literal sense. Maybe they were symbolically representing early civilization...who knows?

You have to keep in mind that the bible was written by human hands. The Catholic Church was the powerhouse of its day and even controlled kingdoms. The Church has edited and removed scripture and books of the bible and have locked it deep inside the Vatican. They feared if people knew the truth, they would see it for what it was...a contradictory fictional book. Instead, the Church uses fear against its own followers keeping them loyal to their religion. People are so damned afraid to live...afraid of that eternal burning in hell.

Religion was created, again IMHO, to explain the mysteries of life in general. Early man felt a need to explain the supernatural events occurring all around him. Where did we come from? Let's make up a creation story to explain that! What happens to us after we die? Let's create a story about the afterlife. Why can a woman bleed every month and not die? Let's say a serpant tempted Eve and it is her punishment! It goes on and on...

Answer 8

From the creation of Genesis 1:27

Adam and Eve came from Genesis 2:6

Answer 9

Genesis 5:4 partly answers that question.The verse states ""Then the days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years, and he had other sons and daughters."
Imagine how many children Adam could have fathered with Eve in eight hundred years ! The siblings intermarried,as the command not to commit incest was not given until Leviticus 18:6,which was hundred's of years later.

Answer 10

There was nobody around to marry them. Besides incest they were also making bastards, literally! West Virginia may not be so vile after all considering those original perverts.
