Cain's Wife - Where Did He Get Her? by agwom(m): 9:08pm On May 29, 2015 |
This is a very simple question to answer. His wife was one of his sisters. We can see, by comparing the story of Cain to that of Seth in terms of time-frame, that this is Biblically plausible. Seth was 105 when Enos was born, and Enos was 90 when Cainan was born. The 4th verse of chapter five says that Adam lived 800 years after the birth of Seth and begat sons and daughters. Apparently Adam and Eve had quite a few children and at least some of them were daughters. It is interesting that the Bible rarely if ever records the birth of women. It is very possible, then, seeing that Cain and Abel were grown when their conflict is recorded, that daughters had been born to Adam and Eve in the intervening years. One of them may have sided with Cain in his feud with Abel and with God and followed him into the land of Nod. Or perhaps Eve sent one of her daughters to Cain so that he would not be alone in the world. From the early verses of chapter five it is more likely, given as long as people lived in those days and as old as men were before they began to have children, that his wife was one of the daughters that was born after the birth of Seth; one who went looking for her brother for whatever reason. Anthropologically speaking, it is altogether acceptable-indeed it is inevitable- that the first sons would have married sisters. There would have been no one else for them to marry. A race could not begin with an original pair and propagate if brothers and sisters did not mate. And let it be clear that one would not avoid this consideration if he adopted some other idea of origins. Somewhere the original pair of humans had to appear. In order for them to multiply there would have to be domestic cohabitation between brothers and sisters. 1 Like |

Don't know why this question has been trending both online and offline. Well I senior friend told me it is written in the Quran that Adam and Eve had 13 twins, making 26 children in all. So cain married one of his sisters. I am not a muslim but so I was told. |

its in the bible,can't really remember where.it should be in one of these hallowed verses; EX 17:13 With the Lord's approval, Joshua mows down Amalek and his people. EX 21:20-21 With the Lord's approval, a slave may be beaten to death with no punishment for the perpetrator as long as the slave doesn't die too quickly. EX 32:27 "Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor. EX 32:27-29 With the Lord's approval, the Israelites slay 3000 men. LE 26:7-8 The Lord promises the Israelites that, if they are obedient, their enemies will "fall before your sword." LE 26:22 "I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children." LE 26:29 , DT 28:53 , JE 19:9 , EZ 5:8-10 As a punishment, the Lord will cause people to eat the flesh of their own sons and daughters and fathers and friends. LE 27:29 Human sacrifice is condoned. (Note: An example is given in JG 11:30-39 ) NU 11:33 The Lord smites the people with a great plague. NU 12:1-10 God makes Miriam a leper for seven days because she and Aaron had spoken against Moses. NU 15:32-36 A Sabbath breaker (who had gathered sticks for a fire) is stoned to death at the Lord's command. NU 16:27-33 The Lord causes the earth to open and swallow up the men and their households (including wives and children) because the men had been rebellious. NU 16:35 A fire from the Lord consumes 250 men. NU 16:49 A plague from the Lord kills 14,700 people. NU 21:3 The Israelites utterly destroy the Canaanites.

NU 31:9 The Israelites capture Midianite women and children. NU 31:17-18 Moses, following the Lord's command, orders the Israelites to kill all the Midianite male children and "... every woman who has known man ...." (Note: How would it be determined which women had known men? One can only speculate.) NU 31:31-40 32,000 virgins are taken by the Israelites as booty. Thirty-two are set aside (to be sacrificed?) as a tribute for the Lord. DT 2:33-34 The Israelites utterly destroy the men, women, and children of Sihon. DT 3:6 The Israelites utterly destroy the men, women, and children of Og. DT 7:2 The Lord commands the Israelites to "utterly destroy" and show "no mercy" to those whom he gives them for defeat.

As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves."

DT 21:10-13 With the Lord's approval, the Israelites are allowed to take "beautiful women" from the enemy camp to be their captive wives. If, after sexual relations, the husband has "no delight" in his wife, he can simply let her go. DT 28:53 "You will eat the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters the Lord your God has given you." JS 1:1-9 , 18 Joshua receives the Lord's blessing for all the bloody endeavors to follow.

(Exceedingly cruel.) JS 11:8-15 "And the lord gave them into the hand of Israel, ...utterly destroying them; there was none left that breathed ...." JS 11:20 "For it was the Lord's doing to harden their hearts that they should come against Israel in battle, in order that they should be utterly destroyed, and should receive no mercy but be exterminated, as the Lord commanded Moses." JS 11:21-23 Joshua utterly destroys the Anakim. JG 1:4 With the Lord's support, Judah defeats 10,000 Canaanites at Bezek.

JG 15:15 Samson slays 1000 men with the jawbone of an ass. JG 16:21 The Philistines gouge out Samson's eyes. JG 16:27-30 Samson, with the help of the Lord, pulls down the pillars of the Philistine house and causes his own death and that of 3000 other men and women. JG 18:27 The Danites slay the quiet and unsuspecting people of Laish. JG 19:22-29 A group of sexual depraved men beat on the door of an old man's house demanding that he turn over to them a male house guest. Instead, the old man offers his virgin daughter and his guest's concubine (or wife): "Behold, here are my virgin daughter and his concubine; let me bring them out now. Ravish them and do with them what seems good to you; but against this man do not do so vile a thing." The man's concubine is ravished and dies. The man then cuts her body into twelve pieces and sends one piece to each of the twelve tribes of Israel.

Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead with the edge of the sword and; also the women and little ones.... every male and every woman that has lain with a male you shall utterly destroy."

Re: Cain's Wife - Where Did He Get Her? by Empiree: 5:40pm On May 30, 2015 |
Femidigirits:Well, waste no time of yourself. Narrations like this are usually found in hadith of prophet (pbuh). Qur'an only reflects on important issues necessary for us to know. Whatever else we need to know is by following the prophet (pbuh). It's true that Adam's children intermarried. For instance, Adam's first set of twins were male and female. The second set of twins were also male and female. Instructions given by God was that the first male should marry second female. Second male should marry first female. I understand the wisdom behind this. Anyways, the first son disagreed. He said he would marry his (immediate) twin sister not the second twin sister. This is how conflicts began between the two sons that brought about murder into the world today(hatred). My point is the conflicts between the two sons is what Quran pretty much concerned about. Quran only teaches us lesson about these sons (Cain/Abel) to be contended with whatever God decrees for us. So the story of how many children Adam had, who married who etc was narrated by famous companions of the prophet (peace be upon him), Ibn Abbas and Ibn Masud(God be pleased with them). So it's not in the Quran but hadith. 1 Like |

Inteltower:Bible, right?. I wouldn't have problem with that. Problem is Bible said one of Adam's sons went to another to town and married a woman from there. Question is, how did they exist or who birthed then if Adam was the first creation, then his Eve, then their 2 sons, Abel and Cain?. |
Re: Cain's Wife - Where Did He Get Her? by MuttleyLaff: 7:03pm On Mar 01, 2020 |
Empiree:Nope, the book of A&E is not bible. It is apocrypha, as in meaning, its dodgy and/or of doubtful origin.

Re: Cain's Wife - Where Did He Get Her? by Empiree: 7:31pm On Mar 01, 2020 |
MuttleyLaff:Okay, maybe you have problem with "he married a woman". How about he (Cain) impregnated a woman in the land he went?.. Anyways, the story is in Genesis 4. Read the whole story. In Genesis 4:16 says Cain vacated his family (Ada and Eve) after murdering his brother, Abel. Genesis vs 16 says Cain left and had a son (Enoch) with a woman. Question is, where did woman that Cain impregnated in the land of Nod come from if Adam was the first creation?. |

Empiree:Smh, your problem is, you arent aware your nose by the minute is growing. Tell me, is it now a crime to impregnate ones wife after emigration ni? Empiree:[img]https://s3/images/ObamaMuttley.gif[/img] So what if Cain left the presence of the Lord and his Mum & Dad family Where in this your special Genesis 4:16 read, do you see in Genesis 4:16, that Cain married in it, huh? Where did you read If Cain, at Genesis 4:17, had sexual relations with his wife, did it not occur to you that Cain, must have left the Lord's presence with his wife ni, hmm, and that it is the same wife he got impregnated upon getting to Nod? Everyday is a educational biblical school day for most of my dear Muslim brothers sha, lol. |
Re: Cain's Wife - Where Did He Get Her? by Empiree: 9:32pm On Mar 01, 2020 |
MuttleyLaff:Lol, told you to forget about "married to his wife". Genesis says Cain left presence of his Lord. It didn't say he left with his wife and family to the land of Nod. Why did you conclude he left with his wife?. That's biblical scholars that assumed that. Also the passage in Genesis inferred that there were people living in the land of Nod where Cain got his wife pregnant. Genesis didn't say that Cain went to land of Nod with his wife. Again my question is where are those people in the land of Nod and his wife from if Adam was the first creation?. Read the attachments below. Your priest response to the answer has implications. First implication is that he admitted there might be people living in the land of Nod. Second, he admitted that writers felt that way which means Moses didn't write Genesis as Christians thought. Priest answer shows there are more than one writer of Genesis Third implication is that this Bible could not have been God's word.

Empiree:Your wish is my command Empiree:First and foremost, is the only family before turning vagabond he had was his missus, as in meaning, he only had a wife and not yet kids. Cain was the subject of the narrative, and it went without saying that he left with his wife to become a vagabond. Empiree:Genesis didnt say Cain went alone to the land of Nod without a wife either. Empiree:If it was important to know, the Bible would have advanced that information. In the grand scheme of things, it is inconsequential so ithe information was left out. Capisce? Empiree:[img]https://s3/images/ObamaMuttley.gif[/img] What going on here?. What's with "your priest response"? Is there anything wrong with you typing "the priest's response ...." ni? So what if people are already living in the land of Nod? Is it a crime or illegal for people to live in the land of Nod ni? Empiree:So make we go fry beans because of there are more than one writer of the book of Genesis, erhn, hmm? Are you just JJC lately, knowing this, lol? Empiree:By proxy then the Quran too could not be God's word too, lol. Ẹgbe kẹ gbẹ, na bad society, lol, dont you think, lol. You put your foot right in it lol, trying to play smarty-pants.

MuttleyLaff:Isn't the bible verse clear enough, that cain was the focus in the verses of Genesis?. Why the twist now?. In your subsequent comment you admitted to the possibility human presence in the land of Nod. If it was important to know, the Bible would have advanced that information. In the grand scheme of things, it is inconsequential so ithe information was left out. Capisce?It is very important bcus the question is still being asked today. It is a major historical defect of Bible account. So what if people are already living in the land of Nod? Is it a crime or illegal for people to live in the land of Nod ni?Here we go. It is not a crime. That's not the problem. Problem is, since Adam was the first creation, who were the people in Nod before Cain went there and where did they come from?. This is major biblical flaw. So make we go fry beans because of there are more than one writer of the book of Genesis, erhn, hmm? Are you just JJC lately, knowing this, lol?Am not JJC. It simply proves that Bible could not have been written by Moses nor God's word. It means historians collected pieces of information and called it "Holy Bible". This is what muslims have emphasized for far too long telling you guys that Bible is not inspired by God. By proxy then the Quran too could not be God's word too, lol. Ẹgbe kẹ gbẹ, na bad society, lol, dont you think, lol. You put your foot right in it lol, trying to play smarty-pants. The implication, then, my dear Muslim brother friend, is that you're in for a rude awakening to know that the Quran, is guilt by association, lolThis is empty comment without proof. Quran compared to Bible?. No way. Quran was Divinely inspired through archangel Gabriel to Prophet muhammad not some historians cooked up stories. |

Empiree:If you realise that Cain is the focus in the verses of Genesis. If you admit that the bible verse(s) clear enough has Cain as the focus in the verses of Genesis, then why and/or what's the fuss over someone else, like Cain's wife, who isnt the focus? My dear Muslim brother friend, to let you know Cain's wife, isnt part of the focus at all, is the fact that Cain's wife doesnt have a name mention to reveal her identity, lol. Empiree:Do you know how old Adam lived before he died, hmm? Yep 930 years old Adam was at the time of his last breath and/or death. That is a very good 930 years, long enough time to father sons and daughters, lol, aside the three boys, Cain, Abel and Seth, dont you think my dear doubtful Muslim brother friend, lol, hmm? I am waiting for you round the corner, to ask me for biblical evidence(s) of A&E's sons and daughters other than their three boys, Cain, Abel and Seth, lol. Empiree:Empiree, A&E had sons and daughters other than their three boys, Cain, Abel and Seth, lol. It is not rocket science that these sons and daughters of A&E and the grandchildren and great granchildren left their parents' home to set up home elsewhere, like in places like the land of Nod for example. Now, when I first hinted it to you, it flew right over your head, as if like a Naija Airforce fighter jet, so I'll repeat it here again so it sink in. If you keep bleating that "... a major historical defect of Bible account" then take it on the chin that the Quran, that came later after the older Bible book, is then guilty by association with the Bible, of this your "... a major historical defect of Bible account" Empiree:The people were the sons and daughters of A&E and the grandchildren and great granchildren who left their parents' home to set up home elsewhere, in places like the land of Nod in question, for example, lol. The supposedly major biblical flaw, exists only in your imagination brother, lol. Please stop it already, this your deliberate and attempted misrepresentation of facts. Empiree:"Then the LORD said to Moses, “Write this as a memorial in a book and recite it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.”" - Exodus 17:14 "And Moses wrote down all the words of the LORD. Early the next morning he got up and built an altar at the base of the mountain, along with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel." - Exodus 24:4 "12One day Moses said to the LORD, “You have been telling me, ‘Take these people up to the Promised Land.’ But you haven’t told me whom you will send with me. You have told me, ‘I know you by name, and I look favorably on you.’ 13If it is true that you look favorably on me, let me know your ways so I may understand you more fully and continue to enjoy your favor. And remember that this nation is your very own people.” 14The LORD replied, “I will personally go with you, Moses, and I will give you rest—everything will be fine for you.” 15Then Moses said, “If you don’t personally go with us, don’t make us leave this place. 16How will anyone know that you look favorably on me—on me and on your people—if you don’t go with us? For your presence among us sets your people and me apart from all other people on the earth.” 17The LORD replied to Moses, “I will indeed do what you have asked, for I look favorably on you, and I know you by name.” 18Moses responded, “Then show me your glorious presence.” 19The LORD replied, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will call out my name, Yahweh, before you. For I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose. 20But you may not look directly at my face, for no one may see me and live.” 21The LORD continued, “Look, stand near me on this rock. 22As my glorious presence passes by, I will hide you in the crevice of the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by. 23Then I will remove my hand and let you see me from behind. But my face will not be seen.”" - Exodus 33:12-23 "27Then the LORD said to Moses, “Write down all these instructions, for they represent the terms of the covenant I am making with you and with Israel.” 28Moses remained there on the mountain with the LORD forty days and forty nights. In all that time he ate no bread and drank no water. And the LORD wrote the terms of the covenant—the Ten Commandments—on the stone tablets" - Exodus 34:27-28 "All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right" - 2 Timothy 3:16 You've just with this comment proven you are not only a kofam and bonafide JJC but you're also inexperienced and a bible illiterate. It is an inexperienced and a bible illiterate person who believes and will embarrassingly type that Bible was written by Moses and that the Bible isnt God's word. I am fully aware I have wasted Exodus 33:12-23 on you. What do you think Moses was doing for 40 days and night at Mount Horeb, hmm? Painting his toes nails erhn, lol? Fyi, I deliberately pasted Exodus 17:14 up there with "recite" emboldened and underlined for you, so you perhaps, might have an epiphany from the word when you think of the meaning of the word Quran, lol. 2 Timothy 3:16 above, informs you that the Pentateuch mostly written down by Moses and other books by the prophets, Apostles, ghostwriters like Joshua etcetera are each and all together inspired by God. Empiree:Which of the two came first Empiree, hmm? If you say the Bible is not God's word, it means, by proxy then, the Quran too could not be God's word, this not only because the Bible was the first on the block before the Quran and even written first, but that the Quran has narratives similar and stories identical to what's in the Bible. The Quran, even mentions Zabur, as in meaning, king David's Psalms of the Old Testament. Are the Psalms too not God inspired then, Empiree my dear Muslim brother friend, hmm, lol? Empiree:How long did it take Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to complete reciting the lines archangel Gabriel ordered him to, lol? 40 days and 40 nights, hmm, lol? 1 Like |
Re: Cain's Wife - Where Did He Get Her? by Empiree: 11:59am On Mar 02, 2020 |
MuttleyLaff:this is your idea not biblical record. You assumed by virtue of your common sense that his wife must have followed him to the land of Nod. Was the land of Nod vacant or occupied before they (Cain and wife) went there if I am to agree that he went there with his wife?. Your cooked up idea that because Adam lived for long his children must have spread out and lived in different cities including Nod. Problem with this is that you forgot that Cain was the first set of twins and his ordeal took place quite early before Adam had other children. For fact that Bible scholars presented different theory hinted they aren't sure. You could confirm that from my previous post on the priest. "Then the LORD said to Moses, “Write this as a memorial in a book and [b]recite it in the ears of Joshua[/b], that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.”"So you didn't get to think "the Lord said" 2nd speaker or 3rd speaker?. It means there are historians narrating stories. If you believe the Lord said means the Lord commanded Moses, did the Lord also command him to write his (Moses) in death?. When your grandfather died did he write his own obituary?. Here Moses (according to you) wrote his own death and burial. Deuteronomy 34 The Death of Moses 34 Then Moses climbed Mount Nebo from the plains of Moab to the top of Pisgah, across from Jericho. There the Lord showed him the whole land—from Gilead to Dan, 2 all of Naphtali, the territory of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Mediterranean Sea, 3 the Negev and the whole region from the Valley of Jericho, the City of Palms, as far as Zoar. 4 Then the Lord said to him, “This is the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob when I said, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not cross over into it.” 5 And Moses the servant of the Lord died there in Moab, as the Lord had said. 6 He buried him[a] in Moab, in the valley opposite Beth Peor, but to this day no one knows where his grave is. 7 Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone. 8 The Israelites grieved for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the time of weeping and mourning was over. Can you think?. It is so clear that historians are the speakers not Moses and definitely not God. This is why in my previous post the priest said there are different writers in Deuteronomy. Why did you choose to argue otherwise? |

Empiree:Did you think them gray matter in the head are just decorations and not to be used ni, hmm? The land could have been vacated or not vacant, but bear in mind that the word "Nod" in Hebrew, means wander or wandering. Empiree:Your problem is you can't seem to accept that Adam and Eve had many sons, daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren other than the three boys/men, Cain, Abel and Seth Empiree:To you, those Bible scholars are two-headed exceptionally knowledgeable super human beings with exclusive insights isn't It, lol? Empiree: MuttleyLaff:My dear Muslim brother friend Empiree, you probably thought that emboldened underline above was a decoration, lol. I knew you wouldn't be thinking right, so pre-emptively type in that info there. Obviously, if you know, you know, but someone like you, who doesn't know, wouldn't know, so you're forgiven for your ignorance. Empiree:Please stop continually publicly embarrassing yourself. Go research or look up what ghostwriter means, lol. |

TATIME: This is the more reason to understand why Jesus never appointed any female as an Apostle! |

Your problem is you can't seem to accept that Adam and Eve had many sons, daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren other than the three boys/men, Cain, Abel and SethI have no problem with this. How does this correlate with Cain in Nod. MuttleyLaff:So you acknowledged ghostwriter in the Bible and it is still "inspired word of God", right?. Yeyeman

Empiree:[img]https://s5/images/NodCropped.jpg[/img] You see, my dear Muslim brother friend Empiree, you have this problem of not able to get your head round how and where Cain got his missus from. You like historians abi? Do you then see in the above screens grab's blown up circle, where in that "Keil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament" write-up, it is advanced that Cain's wife went into exile with Cain, to the land of Nod (i.e. the land of wandering) Empiree: My dear Muslim brother friend Empiree, that Deuteronomy 34:1-8 that you gleefully quoted but that you attributed the authorship of, to be that historian(s), did you not know that it was Joshua, lol, an accomplished author in his own right, who is the ghostwriter that wrote that Deuteronomy 34:1-8 obituary/eulogy etcetera literary or journalistic piece and/or other texts that are officially credited to Moses, pbuh, as the author ni, hmm, lol? Listen, dear Muslim brother friend Empiree, and let me break it all down for you. If you think that the Bible is not the "inspired word of God", then the Quran too is complicit, it too cant be seen to be the "inspired word of God". The Quran wouldnt be "inspired word of God" because of it being guilty by association with the Bible. C'mon now, it's common knowledge that the Quran, as a matter of fact, is piggybacked by the Bible, lol, so if in your eye, there's anything wrong with the Bible, then then there'll be loads worse with your "Holy Book" lol, bwahahaha ha and that is true. Take for example, the above pasted picture, lol. I know, I know that the Quran doesnt itself talk about 72 virgins, thats only the Hadiths, but even though the Quran might not have specified 72 number of virgins, it does promise Muslim men with virgins in Islamic heaven. If only the men did read the fine print, lol. I am not going to quote the Hadith here nor mention the several descriptions related to houri(s)/virgins because they are either gross, ludicrous and/or too graphic Empiree:You're a first grade yeyeman plus plus with that your funny white burka wearing ghostwriter with shadeshade glasses put on inside the house. Who does that? For wearing a burka, must have even thought itself to be a woman, lol |

TATIME: Maximus69:[img]https://s3/images/ObamaMuttley.gif[/img] 1/ What has "the more reason to understand why Jesus never appointed any female as an Apostle" have to do with the good observational points agwom (i.e. OP) and TATIME made, huh? 2/ OK, now that you've brought this up, what then is the "more reason" to understand why Jesus never appointed any female as an Apostle, huh? |
Re: Cain's Wife - Where Did He Get Her? by Empiree: 2:19am On Mar 03, 2020 |
MuttleyLaff:what you have successfully done was that you further proved to me The Bible is history book not essentially Divine. I can understand why historians would claim his wife acomplained him to Nod. I know I have frustrated you enough. Nice try from wherever website you got that from. They realized the only option left was to claim his wife followed him while at the same time the same image you posted says "he knew his wife there". Then later said his wife must have went there with him but there is no biblical text to prove that and you do not have unique external source to back it up. Anyways, that's gone but you proved to us that Bible remains a book written by different historians contrary to popular saying that Moses write old testament. Again, a priest confirmed the book of Genesis was written by different writers. Even if these writers were righteous people, they are not hujjah (evidence) for Bible credentials. It is like Muslim hadith. Hadith is not entirely Divine because there are different narrators of Hadith and they are not 100 evidence except what is in harmony with Qur'an. Qur'an is the only source of Divine guidance that is guaranteed. So you will not find different writers of Quran, never!!!!!!! Because it can not be authored by anyone other than Allah. On the contrary is the reason why you have ghostwriters and ghost authors of the Bible. My dear Muslim brother friend Em.piree, that Deuteronomy 34:1-8 that you gleefully quoted but that you attributed the authorship of, to be that historian(s), did you not know that it was Joshua, lol, an accomplished author in his own right, who is the ghostwriter that wrote that Deuteronomy 34:1-8 obituary/eulogy etcetera literary or journalistic piece and/or other texts that are officially credited to Moses, pbuh, as the author ni, hmm, lol?as I said before you just implicated yourself more bcuz Joshua was not a Divine. Nor did he have Divine authority over what is right or wrong. For fact that he credited his work to Moses proved hanky-panky . Historians will always be historians. Whether they wrote accurately or not their accomplishment could not be Divine because when it comes to story book or history book there is always minus and plus (distortions) So Bible is in the same status of Hadith even Hadith has more intergrity because we have hadith classifications and chains of narrators. I know that the Quran doesnt itself talk about 72 virgins, thats only the Hadiths, but even though the Quran might not have specified 72 number of virgins, it does promise Muslim men with virgins in Islamic heaven. If only the men did read the fine print, lol. I am not going to quote the Hadith here nor mention the several descriptions related to houri(s)/virgins because they are either gross, ludicrous and/or too graphicis there any problems, sin or crimes in having virgin in paradise?. You think it is like boring CHRISTIAN Paradise?. Yes, Christian paradise is boring. |
