Okay, lets reason together. You see, it is not everything that's recorded in the bible, i.e, the day to day activities of bible's characters. This style of writing is not only common in the bible, but also in the literatures of the world. Why? Here, "Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were EVERY ONE of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written"- John 21:25. That's it! If the world itself cannot contain just Jesus ministry alone, how much more detailing every thing about creation?

Now, the point I'm trying to make is this. In Genesis 4:1, Cain is born. The very next verse, Abel is born too. The point: after Cain was born, definitely, a lot of time has passed before Abel was born! Also note that it is in verse 1 that Adam knew his wife, and it is still in that verse that she bare Cain. So at least you should know that nine months has passed since Adam knew his wife before she bare Cain!

Coming down to verse 14, certainly, a lot of years has passed before Cain slew his brother, judging from the fact that one was a farmer and the other, a shepherd. That means they were adults who could take responsibilities!

So, it is very much possible and likely that at this stage of their lives, their parents may have already produce other children in order to be "fruitful and multiply". I hope this helps?

Hello peeps!..good evening
There has been a nagging question i have asking,but have'nt gotten an answer.
The question is,if God only created Adam and Eve,and they in turn begat Caine and Abel,who begot every other person on earth as at then.we are told that after God cast Caine out of His presence,he became a wanderer and eventually got a wife and married her(Gen.5 vs 17).
Where did this wife of Caine come from?
Did God created other people after Adam and Eve?
Why was it not recorded in d Bible?
Is the compilation of the Bible even complete?

nnadychuks:
In the old testament the bible didn't take record of women,the decendants talked about males.. Since it was regarded that woman came from man

For thinking that animals don't have power to reason and create even beyond humans' scope shows how limited the mind your so called God gave you.

goingape:
why do you find it offensive when someone called you an APE but yet still proving we originated from APE


your spirit is fighting that demonic theory.

gladly tell the world that your family have a genetic trace of APEs belonging to the gorilla species

bulldoza:

I hope you don't believe in all those nonsense Fairytale and stories in that book...
That book is definitely not the word of GOD.
It's the word of the people of that generation. They only used their knowledge...

safarigirl:
so the entire human population was created from iincestuous relationships?

goingape:
you got what you want to believe:


your ideology your problem

xtervaganza:
I know much more about your bible than you and I know it's all lies

onosprince:
After the snake banged eve, adam caught them and they had a threeeeesome, eve gave birth to cane and abel and the snake gave birth to 3 beautiful daughters and cain married the first daughter of the snake.

nnadychuks:
stop cracking,read genesis 5:1-2

You are mixing different things. Go back and read your bible slowly as advised.

khadaffi:


Now I'm beginning to think you are either a BOT or an idiot. You said "In the old testament the bible didn't take record
of women,the decendants talked about males..
Since it was regarded that woman came from
man"
I just showed you this is not true and you are referring me to Genesis 5. What's in Genesis 5 by the way

"This is the written account of Adam’s
family line.
When God created mankind, he made them in
the likeness of God. He created them male
and female and blessed them. And he named
them “Mankind” when they were created."

That is your genesis 5:1-2. How does that explains that women were irrelevant in the bible.

SweetBoyFriend:
Religion is the biggest scam to mankind.

Adam and Eve were the only living people in the world at that time, the had sex and had only two sons named Cain and Abel also had one daughter named Seth.

Cain and Abel later had many children.
Who did the son had sex with ??

Their sister i guess (Incest)

This is how Christians will tell me that there's some in heaven called Jesus Christ.
When was Jesus born ?? 300 billion years ago
But you will show me a picture and tell me this is Jesus, maybe you took a picture of him with your IPhone 6

weyabblog:
bye

Mcowubaba:


The picture of JESUS CHRIST which is in popular circulation has various origins, some saying it was revealed to them in a vision nd the draw it...

Some say the were inspired by the Holy Spirit to draw nd create the image......
Nobody said it was taken by an IPhone or Android..... Stop mocking and deceiving yourself...

GOD CANNOT BE MOCKED (Galatians 6:7)
Atheism is a plague and I pray for your soul....

U peeps sure know how to make mockery of yourselves thinking you are mocking Christianity
Christianity is the biggest, largest Religion in the World...
That HOLY NAME JESUS CHRIST HAS MORE FOLLOWERS THAN ALL THE PEOPLE YOU KNOW BOTH DEAD OR ALIVE OR EVEN UNBORN......
About the creation story a lot have been explained both on this thread nd in various Christian books, but alas u won't read them, if u read Them, u will fail to accept it.... But that's ur problem.....
If not that as Christians were are instruments of bringing salvation to mankind, I won't even be replying any non-believer, let alone worrying to convert them....
But Heaven is big enough for us all... I pray you retrace your steps and accept JESUS CHRIST as your personal LORD AND SAVIOUR.....

In other for atheists to ease up his fear , he had to determine if Christianity
is false or not , that is why they attack christians soo much even dough islam
has cause more chaos.
So to my atheists friends If you fear death, yet believe that God does not
exist, then you are being irrational.. Just let go of your pride....

JMAN05:


The bible beneficial for teaching, for reproving etc 2tim 3:16. The bible has a purpose for its writing. The purpose is not to document every bit of history(no book can claim that even historical books), but to lead us to the knowledge of God and to the sanctification of His name.

The story of Cain and Abel was to teach us what envy does. It was written for instruction, not that they were the only children of Adam at the time. If God does not feel that a knowledge will be helpful for our teaching, he won't include the account in His word. I want u to understand what the bible is.

2. Did God create other humans after Adam and Eve or before? the bible's answer is no.

It was only Eve that gave birth to other humans who populated the earth. Gen 3:20.

Did she and Adam give birth to only males? No, read gen 5:4.

It is logical then to conclude that Eve gave birth to other humans not mentioned in the bible, including females. Why is this reasonable?

- Adam was 130 yrs before giving birth to Seth. Gen 5:3. Now 129 years is enough to give birth to many and even enough time for ur offspring to produce there own children.

- The words of Cain and Gods action at gen 4: 14-15 as to who might kill Cain, suggests that some families have sprang up and migrated to other locations. Cain may have married any of his female relatives.

The story of Cain became prominent no doubt cos of the lessons to be learned from it. Perhaps the accounts of Adam's other sons and daughters never had something of significance.

It's obvious you've not been reading your bible well. Now go back to Genesis and start all over. This time, read it very slowly and pay good attention.

goingape:
going by this! you are buying the ideal that YOU originate from APE!


science can talk RUBBISH.


this is a centuries debate and no reasonable answer yet known.

DropShot:



Adam and Eve had eight sets of twins, each set with one boy and one girl.

Allah commanded they cross-marry, the last set marrying the first set. Cain didn't want his brother Abel to marry his own beautiful twin sister, saying he would be the one to marry her instead. This was the reason he killed Abel and he later married his own twin sister.

Islam details the account without missing anything.

Allahu Akbar.

cloudgoddess:
The answer is that the biblical account of human origins is glaringly false. The bible was written and compiled by people in ancient 1st century civilizations who had no way of knowing their true origins due to the absence of modern archaeological, biological & geographical knowledge, talk less of having any clue about DNA and genetics and how to trace lineages by studying sequencing data.

There is no possible way, genetically or geographically, for all humans to have originated from a single pair of humans located somewhere in the middle eastern territory 6,000 or so years ago. There are even manmade tools and relics found throughout the world that date back far older than the proposed creation of biblical Adam and Eve. Modern humans were preceded by a large population of pre-modern hominids (not a single pair), and the many races we see today are a result of over 100,000 years of migration, adaptation, and genetic diversion from Africa.

cloudgoddess:

Sorry but inflated egos do not change or discredit scientific evidence. That you refuse to accept something because it makes you feel uncomfortable, angry, or shamed, does not make it false.

Furthermore, a reaction of anger and shame does not even make sense when you actually understand the process of biological evolution; sharing a common ancestor with a certain species does not mean we are somehow less capable as human beings; it doesn't devalue our species in any way, it only shows how far we have come through gradual genetic change over the eons, which I personally find awe-inspiring and wonderful. No one is equating you to an "unintelligent/ugly/wild monkey" when they say our species evolved, that perception is mindless ego and ignorance talking.
