I know this is not a question, but I feel that after an over whelming reply to my question, and over whelming P.M.'s, that I need to clear some things up...
First of all yes, the question was serious, second, I was in NO way "picking" on black people, or intending to come across rasicst.
I stated that the only response that i had ever gotten from this question was, about the "ape thing" The person who explained this ridiculos conclusion to me was a black man who was a decon at one of my friends churchs.
To " Icey Gazpacho" you stated I was just an "idiot white girl" who was married to a man who has a really good suntan-To answer your comment, yes I am white, and no, you are wrong, my husband is not a white man, he is from Ecuador, and is almost black....so no you are wrong, I am not a racist, and I am sorry you are n atheist, but I never said I was a christian, I was only curoius about this, because I wanted an answer(like every body else around here) and was mislead.

Often, apparent inconsistencies can be resolved if we just look at the context. Consider, for example, the often-raised problem about Cain’s wife. As is well known, Cain killed Abel; but after that, we read that Cain had a wife and children. (Genesis 4:17) If Adam and Eve had only two sons, where did Cain find his wife?
Where did Cain get his wife? Is there a logical Bible answer?
Yes, there is. It is pointed to in the very instructions given to Adam and Eve shortly after their creation, namely: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it.” Gen. 1:28.
Obedience to this command would require that Adam and Eve have children. Then these children, in turn, would marry and bear children. This process of reproduction by succeeding generations would need to continue in order to fill the earth in harmony with God’s purpose.
The solution lies in the fact that Adam and Eve had more than two children. According to the context, they had a large family. At Genesis 5:3 we read that Adam became father to another son named Seth and then, in the following verse, we read: “He became father to sons and daughters.” (Genesis 5:4) So Cain could have married one of his sisters or even one of his nieces.
At that early stage of human history, when mankind was so close to perfection, such a marriage evidently did not pose the risks for the children of the union that it would today.
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. (Ge 5:1-4)
Cain went into banishment in “the land of Fugitiveness to the east of Eden,” taking with him his wife, an anonymous daughter of Adam and Eve. (Ge 4:16, 17) also the much later example of Abraham’s marriage to his half sister Sarah.

The land of Nod - As נוד nod signifies the same as נד sa , a vagabond, some think this verse should be rendered, And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, from the east of Eden, and dwelt a vagabond on the earth; thus the curse pronounced on him, Gen_4:12, was accomplished.1.
Gen 4:17 - And Cain knew his wife,.... Who this woman was is not certain, nor whether it was his first wife or not; whether his sister, or one that descended from Adam by another of his sons, since this was about the one hundred and thirtieth year of the creation. At first indeed Cain could marry no other than his sister; but whether he married Abel's twin sister, or his own twin sister, is disputed; the Jews say (g), that Cain's twin sister was not a beautiful woman, and therefore he said, I will kill my brother and take his wife: on the other hand, the Arabic writers say (h), that Adam would have had Cain married Abel's twin sister, whom they call Awin; and Abel have married Cain's twin sister, whom they call Azron; but Cain would not, because his own sister was the handsomest; and this they take to be the occasion of the quarrel, which issued in the murder of Abel. 2.
This information is in books, some hard to find and most in the hands of Jewish sages for protection from those who would willingly corrupt the truth, as terrible as the truth sounds.
The Bible is very clear that we all came from "one man" or "one blood"and that is Adam. in Act 17:26 And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, As far as black men are concerned, educated men in Bible history know that the darker skinned men are mostly decended from Cush the ancestor of Ham, Noahs son. Racism is a sick mentallity to even consider. Christians who toy with racism must repent of it.Our origin of genetics all have the same history, like it or not! 3.

according to possibility your spouse has some subjects with have faith and he or she exams your YA. you're able to desire to consult together with her approximately those subjects, yet once you block her out completely, that could desire to reason extra issues at this element. My H could desire to examine mine too, yet does not hardship. If he did settle directly to, i could like it if he pronounced issues with me extremely than merely examine issues I wrote. "no longer something to cover" is the excellent element for a marriage. Your FIL... wow, i will relate to that. My father grew to become into destructive whilst he stated Blacks. It used to make me so dissatisfied, and that i could constantly ask him to maintain it to himself whilst my little ones have been around. It grew to become into loopy by way of fact he had many pals who have been black. He lived in a city the place, on the time, very few Black human beings resided. the only cases he incredibly commented grew to become into whilst he could see some form of crime or information on television. It grew to become into regularly adequate for me nevertheless. I enjoyed the guy. In all different procedures, he grew to become into gentle and giving and loving to each physique. He did no longer get dissatisfied with me as quickly as I asked him to no longer communicate like that around my little ones or ME. He could merely shake his head. in direction of the top of his years, he did ease up somewhat. according to possibility you're able to desire to gently point out that it bothers you next time your FIL reflects racism on your presence. according to possibility your spouse could desire to. while you're writing to an nameless board related to the topic, needless to say it bothers you adequate to communicate it. it is solid which you care deeply for him and if he's attentive to that, it incredibly is going to be much less complicated to enable him comprehend the form you sense. ****
