Skeptics have used Cain's wife time and again to try to discredit the Book of Genesis as a true historical record. Sadly, most Christians have not been able to give an adequate answer to this question.

Sadly, most Christians probably could not answer these questions! And yet, there are answers

I will tell u straight op here on Nairaland that Cain's wife was a descendant of Adam. She could not have come from another “race” of people and must be one of Adam's descendants.

harakiri:

(1) Can you show proof of this "true historical record" you boldly claim to know about?

(2)Please, tell us "straight up here on nairaland" as you've boasted which of Adam's descendant's Cain married. Make sure you have concrete evidence and facts (even bible quotation is permitted in your category).

***I'm dead sick of all these religious zombies/reetards on nairaland talking $hit about what they know nothing about***

mazaje:

Firstly, where in the bible can we find any of what you have stated?. . . .Secondly if all humans decended from one man and woman then there should be DNA evidence to show and support that claim, where is the DNA evidence that shows that all humans decended from one man and one woman?. . .

@toba that was a pathetic attempt.

toba:

Im going to have a serious problem with u with your choice of words and language. If u want a peaceful discussion, then discard your egocentric nature and lets be civil.

I will  show u according to my biblical understanding that all human beings are descendants of one man and one woman (Adam and Eve)—as only those people who are descendants of Adam and Eve can be saved. Thus, it clear to say/show that Cain's wife  was a descendant of Adam and Eve. (The relevant Bible passage is Genesis 4:1-5:5.)

Mazaje your question is almost similar to that of harakiri so permit me to answer both in a single post. Lets ignore DNA or whatever as where are basing our discussion on what we have read from the bible

lets see it this way The first man
Therefore, even as through one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin, and so death passed on all men inasmuch as all sinned (Romans 5:12).

What im saying here is purely based on logic and deductive reasoning

We read in 1 Corinthians 15:45 that Adam was “the first man.” God did not start by making a whole group of men.

The Bible makes it clear that only the descendants of Adam can be saved. Romans 5 teaches that we sin because Adam sinned. The death penalty, which Adam received as judgment for his sin of rebellion, also passed on to all his descendants.


(Still on the first man)

Since Adam was the head of the human race when he “fell,” we who were in the loins of Adam “fell,” also. Thus, we are all separated from God. The final consequence of sin would be separation from God in our sinful state forever. However, the good news is that there is a way for us to return to God!

Because a man brought sin and death into the world, all the descendants of Adam need a sinless Man to pay the penalty for sin and the resulting judgment of death. However, the Bible teaches that “all have sinned” (Romans 3:23).

In line with the foregoing and from what i ve shown u above that everything in the reference given from both the old and new testament relates to just one man which is Adam

this is pure logic and no miracle or whatsoever

harakiri:

Errrrr, two questions please :

(1)Please, could you type out the exact place in Genesis where it's written that ONLY THE CHILDREN OF ADAM AND EVE CAN BE SAVED?

(2)Please, can you provide credible proof to verify that the bible you have so much faith is actually the words of the creator of the universe and not the words of men? I hope you know that reverting back to that same bible to validate your claims is as ridiculous as defending Christmas with Santa Claus OR defending Easter with Easter bunnies! ! !

Hahahahahahaha! That was truly hilarious and pathetic attempt! LOOOL! OMFG!!

Pastor Kun:

@Toba
Your attempt is not good enough and with this approach you would only give our atheist brethen more ammunition to ridicule you.

@OP
I believe the answer lies in Genesis 1:26-28 [would appreciate if someone can post this scripture as I am currently posting with my phone] this scripture in genesis 1 suggests God created other people and they had descendants before God created Adam and Eve in genesis 2. Cain's wife could have come from the descendants of these other people.

toba:

u may be right however one may also be right to[b] apply logic based on the help of the holy spirit[/b] from what have been read in the bible

Pastor Kun:

@toba
Normally I don't like joining issues with you becos of your rude and childish attributes, but if you compare the creation story of man in genesis 1 and the creation of Adam and Eve in genesis 2 you would realise they were most probably two different accounts of creation which adequately explains the issue of cain's wife rather than the baseless assunptions you are trying to force on people who are obviously much more intelligent and more informed than yourself.

Jenwitemi:

GBAM! Give it to his ignorant self. Let him know he is not talking to lazy thinkers that he surrounds himself with in real life.

toba:

I have remained calm and very jovial since my second return here but that doesnt make me a f.oo.l as to accept rubbish from ignorant people. If u are reasonable, u would have seen where i expressly stated to harakiri that we should remain civil for us to have a peaceful discussion, Since u opted for the opposite, Just this one time i would repudiate on my earlier stance and give it to u in the exact way u merit itWhats this supposed to mean? U must be really sick in the brain for having the guts to involve my personal life in the discussion on this faceless forum. Before u abandoned your Godforsaken handle 'jagunlabi' u seldom made little sensible contribution, however since u phantom out this your current handle you've lost your senses completely.

I'll describe u with the words of my friends. 'what your Dilapidated, unreceptive & miscalculating BRAIN needs right now is EXPIATION! Proceed to the nearest tree where some nice honest hearted, resourceful and kind-enough fellows would help tie you up to the tree and then proceed to acrimoniously & asynchronously WHOOP the living daylights outta ya sorry and pitiable life'


attempting a rebuttal without reasonably providing any back up is meaningless. All u ve done so far on this thread is just to cheer lead and post nonsense

Kindly provide another alternative logic to what have said so far regarding from and how the wives of cain came into being u moooron.

Just this one time, i would spare your pathetic self giving u a benefit of very small doubt to back up your claim and next time learn not to get personal or chase shadows by ignoring substance. MUMU

@seyibrown
Whilst what I posted is a possible explanation, it is not my rigid position on the subject matter. The book of genesis remains one of the most mis-understood books in the bible and people are disposed to arguing based on pre-conceived notions. Personally I think the story of Genesis is a mix between the story of creation and that of civilisation of mankind, but that is a story for another thread.

seyibrown:

I do not agree that Genesis suggests other people were created . . . . and your perceived suggestion does not agree with God's promise and fulfilment of redemption, hence IMO, it cannot be a possible explanation! That he married a fallen angel could be one! I am convinced from Genesis that his wife could only have been born by his parents.
