How come Cain isn't in Adams Geneology?????

Answer 1

Because he is of Satan, not Adam.

1Jo 3:12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Answer 2

Cain is in Adam's genealogy as Adam, Cain, Enoch, Irad, Methusael, Lamech, Jabal and Tubalcain.
This is not the genealogy of Jesus and the genealogies go down to the flood and Noah son #10 in Genealogy of Jesus comes through the flood, to 427 years after and Abraham son #20 Matt.1:1-17; gets the Promised Land covenant, in 430 years his heirs get the law to be law keepers, givers and enforcers, they are well versed by Moses for 40 years.

Answer 3

I have seen it interpreted that Cain is actually the son of Eve and God, based off of this verse (more so the last part then the first): Genesis 4:1 "Adam lay with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, "With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man."

I think that is a bit of a stretch...but who knows what has happened to the translation.

Answer 4

He is. Genesis dedicates quite a bit of space to Cain's descendents. But the genealogical records in the Old Testament were meant to illustrate the origin of the Hebrews, who were descended from Cain's brother Seth. They usually trace alternate lineages for a few generations, and then focus on the ancestors of the Hebrews. The Bible follows Seth instead of Cain, Shem instead of Ham or Japheth, Isaac instead of Ishmael, Jacob instead of Esau, etc.

Answer 5

He is, look in Genesis again... but when it comes to Jesus' genealogy Cain doesn't exactly fit in due to a lack of relevance. Cain was banished and Abel was murdered (or vice versa), so Seth became the only important one of Adam's children because he became ancestor to Jesus Christ.
Not only that, but considering that nobody (save for Noah's ppl) survived the Flood, Cain's lineage stopped there anyways.

Answer 6

This may come as a shock, but Cain was not Adam's son. This was Eve's sin. It wasn't eating fruit from a tree.

75:3.7 For more than five years these plans were secretly matured. At last they had developed to the point where Eve consented to have a secret conference with Cano, the most brilliant mind and active leader of the near-by colony of friendly Nodites. Cano was very sympathetic with the Adamic regime; in fact, he was the sincere spiritual leader of those neighboring Nodites who favored friendly relations with the Garden.

75:3.8 The fateful meeting occurred during the twilight hours of the autumn evening, not far from the home of Adam. Eve had never before met the beautiful and enthusiastic Cano—and he was a magnificent specimen of the survival of the superior physique and outstanding intellect of his remote progenitors of the Prince's staff. And Cano also thoroughly believed in the righteousness of the Serapatatia project. (Outside of the Garden, multiple mating was a common practice.)

75:3.9 Influenced by flattery, enthusiasm, and great personal persuasion, Eve then and there consented to embark upon the much-discussed enterprise, to add her own little scheme of world saving to the larger and more far-reaching divine plan. Before she quite realized what was transpiring, the fatal step had been taken. It was done.

76:2.1 Less than two years after Cain's birth, Abel was born, the first child of Adam and Eve to be born in the second garden. When Abel grew up to the age of twelve years, he elected to be a herder; Cain had chosen to follow agriculture.

76:2.4 The two boys never got along well, and this matter of sacrifices further contributed to the growing hatred between them. Abel knew he was the son of both Adam and Eve and never failed to impress upon Cain that Adam was not his father. Cain was not pure violet as his father was of the Nodite race later admixed with the blue and the red man and with the aboriginal Andonic stock. And all of this, with Cain's natural bellicose inheritance, caused him to nourish an ever-increasing hatred for his younger brother.

76:2.5 The boys were respectively eighteen and twenty years of age when the tension between them was finally resolved, one day, when Abel's taunts so infuriated his bellicose brother that Cain turned upon him in wrath and slew him.

76:2.7 The death of Abel became known to his parents when his dogs brought the flocks home without their master. To Adam and Eve, Cain was fast becoming the grim reminder of their folly, and they encouraged him in his decision to leave the garden.

76:2.8 Cain's life in Mesopotamia had not been exactly happy since he was in such a peculiar way symbolic of the default.

Answer 7

An excellent question!!!

In Genesis, we learn the source of the splits among different peoples who later became enemies.

There are other examples of this. The descendents of Ishmael aren't mentioned in the genealogy of Abraham. Nor are the descendents of Esau mentioned with Isaac.

When the split occurs, the good guys are mentioned with the parent. The bad guys are split off with their own genealogy.

Answer 8

The genealogies in the Bible related to the family line of the Messiah and not everyone living. Usually traced through the males although Luke showed the family line of Mary, the mother of Jesus, to keep it simple and understandable.

Answer 9

Cause Cain offered up vegetables to the LORD, who wanted burning animals, and smell of their flesh.
The LORD was displeased with Cain's offering, he found vegetables disgusting.
Cain was disowned and cursed because of that (not to mention the fact that he killed Abel).

Answer 10

you mean the list of generations between Adam & Jesus as found in Matthew's Gospel?
Because Jesus was descended from Adam by one of his other sons (Seth), not Cain nor Abel.
