If Adam and eve the only human beings god created then why did god say that no one should harm cain?

Answer 1

Adam and Eve became fruitful they had other children this is just about two of them. Peace out.............

Answer 2

Adam and Eve were not the only ones. They got other sons and daughters. Probably there were grandsons already from those sons and daughters.

Genesis 4 started with Eve giving birth Cain and later Abel, then shifted the story to continue talking about them. That does not imply Adam and Eve stopped having children until Cain killed Abel.

Cain was fearing that Adam or other member of his family harm him due to what he did to Abel.

Answer 3

Adam and Eve had many children. God was referring to Cain's brothers and sisters.
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."

Answer 4

There were other people about. If Genesis is correct God created some people before Adam & Eve.

Genesis 1:26
Genesis 2:7

Answer 5

Because Adam and Eve were eventually going to have descendants. Since humans used to live close to 900 years, this was more than enough time to fill a portion of the Earth. Therefore, God was referring to Adam and Eve descendants.

Answer 6

Adam, Eve, and God are all metaphors, concepts, not real. Its a story meant to impart some moral lessons for society. When you interpret this literally it begins to come apart at the seams. Its only meant as metaphor.

Answer 7

Nowhere in the bible, does it say that Adam and Eve were the only humans directly created by God. The bible is not clear on that issue, it doesn't say one way or the other.

Answer 8

If what you are asking is "Where did the people come from who Cain was afraid of?" Then here's a link to an answer I gave a while back, where I identified at least 50 people.

Answer 9

Cause Adam and Eve had a lot more children as time went by, and I have no doubt that one or more of them might have wished to avenge their brother's murder.

Answer 10

I hope this is of some help to you:

The second son of Adam and his wife Eve, and the younger brother of their firstborn son, Cain. (Genesis 4:2)
It is probable that, while yet alive, Abel had sisters; the record mentions the birth of daughters to his parents, but their names are not recorded. (Genesis 5:1-4) As a man, he became a herder of sheep; his brother, a farmer. (Genesis 4:2)

After an indefinite period of time, Abel made an offering to Jehovah God. Cain did likewise. Each brought of what he had: Abel, of the firstlings of his flocks; Cain, of his produce. (Genesis 4:3, 4) They both had belief in God. They undoubtedly learned of Him from their parents and must have known why they all were outside the garden of Eden and denied entry to it. Their offerings indicated a recognition of their alienated state and of their desire for God’s favor. God expressed favor toward Abel’s offering but not Cain’s. How the approval and the rejection were manifested the record does not show, but it was undoubtedly evident to both men. The reason for God’s approval of only Abel’s offering is made clear by later writings. The apostle Paul lists Abel as the first man of faith, at Hebrews 11:4, and shows that this resulted in his sacrifice being of “greater worth” than Cain’s offering. In 1 John 3:11 & 12 shows Cain’s heart attitude to have been bad; and his later rejection of God’s counsel and warning, as well as his premeditated murder of his brother Abel, demonstrated this.

Even though Abel died, God still remembers him. Abel was good, and Jehovah never forgets a person like that. So one day Jehovah God will bring Abel back to life. At that time Abel will never have to die. He will be able to live here on earth forever. Won’t it be fine to get to know persons like Abel?

But God is not pleased with persons like Cain. So after Cain killed his brother, God punished him by sending him far away from the rest of his family. God’s sentencing of Cain to banishment from the ground evidently meant his eviction from the neighborhood of the garden of Eden, and the curse already upon the earth would be increased in Cain’s case, the earth not responding to his cultivation of it.

Cain only expressed regret over the severity of his punishment but no repentence over murdering his brother, and showed anxiety as to the possibility of Abel’s murder being avenged upon him, but still no sincere repentance.

Jehovah “set up a sign for Cain” to prevent his being killed, but the record does not say that this sign or mark was placed on Cain’s person in any way. The “sign” likely consisted of God’s solemn decree itself, known and observed by others. When Cain went away to live in another part of the earth, he took with him one of his sisters, and she became his wife.

In time Cain and his wife began to have children. Other sons and daughters of Adam and Eve got married, and they also had children. Soon there were many people on the earth.

And today, we have many murderers and rapists, and racists, and other forms of human sludge, but obviously there are many things happening before our eyes and this world will experience a war by God's hand that will put an end to all mankind's wars, and all of wickedness in the earth. That day is not far off.
