Where Did Cain Get His Wife From by Nicolars(m): 12:02pm On Oct 11, 2015
Where did cain get his wife from
Seriously, this question has being bothering me for a while,it was recorded in the bible in Gen 4:17 that "and Cain knew his wife and she conceived......"
Where did his wife come from since as @ that time Adam and Eve only gave birth to Cain and Abel... Where there other families elsewhere, did Adam and Eve actually give birth to twins such that cain had his own twin sister and abel also had his own sister so that they can re procreate. Or did God also make a female out of every male @ that period of time just like Adam and Eve. Did cain have other sisters such that he picked one as a wife and if so,isn't that a sin....these are the questions that bother me

This is my answer..... To you, what do u think


Where did Cain get his wife?
Most think that there was only Cain and Abel born to
Adam and Eve but the Bible actually teaches that by
the time Cain took a wife there were many human
beings, that came from Adam.
Not everything recorded in the Book of Genesis is
written in an exact chronological order. The events of
Genesis eleven (the Tower of Babel) happened in the
middle of chapter 10, chronologically speaking –
Genesis 5:4 states, "Then the days of Adam after he
became the father of Seth were eight hundred years,
and he had other sons and daughters."
Both Adam and Eve driven out of the garden. Genesis
3:23-24: “ therefore the LORD God sent him out of the
garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was
taken. So He drove out the man; and He placed
cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a
flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the
way to the tree of life .”
All their offspring were born outside the garden.
Gen 5:4 "After he begot Seth, the days of Adam
were eight hundred years; and he had sons and
daughters.”The male child born to Adam and Eve
after Cain killed Abel was Seth, when Adam was 130
years old.
Gen 5:6 Seth lived one hundred and five years, and
begot Enosh. Scripture tells us "After (Adam) he
begot Seth, the days of Adam were eight hundred
years; and he had sons and daughters." (Gen. 5:4). It
also says of Seth "After he begot Enosh, Seth lived
eight hundred and seven years, and had sons and
daughters (Gen. 5:7). Daughters are not mentioned
Gen.5 the phrase had sons and daughters is the key
phrase but the first male born in the family is
mentioned by name.
So either Cain got his wife sometime after from
Seth's lineage or from Adam and Eves lineage that
produced numerous children after they left the
garden. We see by the record that there were a
number of people by the time Cain killed his brother
Abel. Genesis 4:15 And the LORD said to him,
"Therefore, whoever kills Cain, vengeance shall be
taken on him sevenfold." And the LORD set a mark on
Cain, lest anyone finding him should kill him.”
Besides these three sons Adam and Eve had many
other unnamed sons and daughters.The Bible does
not give the exact time period when Cain took his
wife. Depending on how much time there was
between Cain being married, he either married a
distant sister, or if enough time transpired, he could
have married his own niece. Probably the later is
true.
Marriage to a sister in the early stage of the human
race was not considered wrong or unnatural. Even
later on Abraham ’s wife was his half-sister (20:12);
also 24:4 and 28:2. God did not prohibit such
marriages until the time of Moses when is was
specifically stated it was against the law of God
according to Lev. 18:9, 18:11, 20:17, and Deut. 27:22.
Genesis 4:16-17: “Then Cain went out from the
presence of the LORD and dwelt in the land of Nod
on the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife, and she
conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city, and
called the name of the city after the name of his son--
Enoch.”
We can see by how it is written it is a summary of a
whole period of time. He married, his wife conceived
and they even built a city; obviously with other people
in the area he lived (Nod).
The imperfection from sin accumulated over time
and eventually corrupted the gene pool, this made it
wrong to marry within the family line. By Moses’ time
it was forbidden.

Do not 4gt to say your opinion.. And ask your pastor as well ... God bless happy sunday

Cain's story is a typical example of how fake Christianity is. They lie even to the readers of the bible's faces. How could they explain Cain marrying from a place never mentioned in the bible. Bible was edited by rascist whites who only cared about their race. Black peoples, indian,Native Americans etc were deliberately excluded and most stories stolen from the original stories of the natives of the planet.

- Cain's wife discovered (Genesis 5:4). Skeptics point out that Cain had no one to marry - therefore the Bible must be false. However, the Bible states plainly that Adam and Eve had other sons and daughters. Cain married his sister.

Incest laws established (Leviticus 18:6). To marry near of kin in the ancient world was common. Yet, beginning about 1500 B.C., God forbid this practice. The reason is simple - the genetic mutations (resulting from the curse) had a cumulative effect. Though Cain could safely marry his sister because the genetic pool was still relatively pure at that time, by Moses' day the genetic errors had swelled. Today, geneticists confirm that the risk of passing on a genetic abnormality to your child is much greater if you marry a close relative because relatives are more likely to carry the same defective gene. If they procreate, their offspring are more apt to have this defect expressed.
