- Did God create other human beings apart from Adam &
Eve?

After Adam lay with Eve and they conceived Cain and later Abel, Cain killed Abel due to jealousy, and was then punished by God. He appealed to God that he being a wanderer, anyone who sees him may just kill him, then God placed a mark on him, and if anyone killed him, 7 lives will be taken in return.

Long story short:

Genesis 4:17
" Cain and his wife had a son and named him Enoch, then Cain built a city and named it after his son".

Hold up! Cain and his WIFE! My question now is, who was this woman cain married? How did she come to be? Did God create other human beings apart from Adam & Eve.

I believe to understand the bible, one had to start from the beginning, which is Genesis to know how things came to be.

Following to learn...
But really I don't want to know again.... Too much to learn in this short time on earth

Genesis 5:4 says, "Then the days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years, and he had other sons and daughters."

The bible was given to the ancient hebrews, they thought in block logic not step logic.

We believe things must be in chronological order but the ancient hebrew didn't, there way of thinking and culture it much different than ours.

This are some of the reasons atheist keep on being atheist, when answers like this can't be answered.
I guess its another mystery!

Brothers married sisters early on in the bible but for some reason their children didn't end up weak and disease-prone which we know are the problems with inbreeding.

But cain had long gone, before Seth was born to Adam & eve, and even if such marriage happened, why was reference not made in the bible.
One thing is for sure though, if anyone really needs to find out such answers for themselves, they need to go to the secret archives in the Vatican, I guess all passages cannot be found in the bible.

This problem occurs when people read the Bible from a modern western Greek perspective and not from the eastern hebrew perspective.

If I told u the past is in front of us, and the future is behind us, u would think I'm making no sense, but the ancient hebrews saw the past nd future like that.

If I told u a oak tree and a deer is identical, u again wud think I'm making no sense, but the ancient hebrews wud understand me completely.

Different cultures think differently, u can't read the bible thru western thought then still criticize it base on ur understanding.

If atheists don't understand that ,they should not be criticizing the bible, especially if they don't even no the ancient hebrews thought in block logic.

the bible does not specifically say it only cain and abel was the son of adam,. Although Cain does seem to be the firstborn, the text is not clear that Abel was the second born, but only that he was the second son. Later, the narrative indicates that Adam and Eve produced "other sons and daughters." So, it is possible that Adam
and Eve produced daughters between the births of Cain and Abel. It is also likely that others sons and daughters
were produced after the birth of Abel.
We don't know how old Cain and Abel
were when Cain murdered his brother,
but they seem to be at least young adults, since they are both engage in a
trade. for their living.
Although the period of time between the birth of Cain and the death of Abel is not given in the Bible, it would seem that this period was probably over 100 years, since the birth of Adam's next son, Seth is said to have occurred when Adam was 130 years old. Adam and Eve could have produced many daughters during that period of time.
It is possible cain would have marry one
of this sister.

All of these events happened before the law was given. According to the Apostle Paul,when there is no law, there can be

no violation of the law or sin.
Romans 4:15
for the Law brings about wrath,but where there is no law, there also is no violation.

Romans 5:13
for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

So, since the law against incest was not given until thousands of years later, there was no theological problem with Cain marrying his sister.
