Where did Cain get his wife?

(Gen. 4:16-17) - "Then Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden. 17And Cain had relations with his wife and she conceived, and gave birth to Enoch; and he built a city, and called the name of the city Enoch, after the name of his son," (NASB).

We see in the Bible in Genesis 3 where Adam and Eve were cursed and sent out of the Garden of Eden. In Genesis 4, Cain kills Abel. In Genesis 4:17 above we see that Cain had relations with his wife. Where did he get his wife? The answer is simple. Cain married one of his sisters **(or niece or other female relative).

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.""‘No one is to approach any close relative to have sexual relations. I am the LORD," (Lev. 18:6). We see that Adam and Eve had many sons and daughters. The genetic lineage of Adam and Eve was perfect so marrying a sister wasn't going to cause birth defects. It wasn't until much later, during the time of Moses, that incest was forbidden as the genetic pool became less and less able to stand interbreeding.

logicboy: Were my two examples of the big church and Nigerian christian brothers not a clue to the daylight robberies that go unpunished in the name of christianity?

Pastor Kun: Yes the fans are being foolish but i don't agree with you the pastors are being foolish in this case they are actually making money from it so it can't be a case of foolishness. maybe another word would describe them better.

logicboy: What more do you want from the story?

Christianity is mostly a tithing scam. End of story.

But conversely, we cannot underestimate what the four horsemen of New Atheism – Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens – have done to widen the divide between religious believers and non-religious believers. Their articulate presentation of their views and deeply convincing writings shouldn’t blind us to the essence of religion and our need to reinterpret and redefine religious texts. If these leading atheists are really in search for cosmic or absolute truth, instead of incessantly thumping religion, they should encourage religious erudition, contextualisation and reasoning, as some of the answers they may be looking for may be buried deep in these ancient texts.

We often condemn religion as something simple and backward but we treat philosophy and science as pursuits of rigorous and profound study. Perhaps the reason why Dawkins et al. fail to see the profundity in religion is because, as Plato said, an individual can only master one art. The four horsemen are all leading experts in their respective fields, and indeed know more about religion than the masses – but, ultimately, they are pseudo-experts on religious texts.

Have you ever discovered a white or yellow lump of material that seems to be attached to your tonsils? It may have been a tonsil stone.

Tonsil stones are thought to occur when bacteria, dead skin cells, and other debris collect and calcify on the surface of your tonsils. In most cases, tonsil stones do not cause problems, but they sometimes lead to bad breath, discomfort, and other worrisome symptoms.

How Do Tonsil Stones Develop?

Tonsil stones are still somewhat of a mystery to doctors and researchers, but researchers suspect that people who have had frequent episodes of tonsillitis are at increased risk of developing tonsil stones. This is because frequent infections of your tonsils make them more likely to have developed areas of excess fibrous tissue. This excess tissue on the surface of your tonsils can lead to the development of pockets and crevices on your tonsils.

Dead skin cells, bacteria, and other substances can collect within these pockets and crevices, forming a mass of debris. The salts in your saliva can cause the mass of debris to calcify, and form a "stone" of material that stays lodged in your tonsils. Tonsil stones tend to gradually get larger as bacteria grow and more debris is deposited and calcified.

How Do Your Know if You Have Tonsil Stones?

It is often hard to tell if you have tonsil stones, because they can be very small and easily hidden in the pockets and crevices of your tonsils. But when they can be seen or when they are removed, tonsil stones tend to be whitish or yellowish in color, and usually relatively small. The consistency of tonsil stones can range from soft and pliable to hard as a rock.

Most of the time, tonsil stones do not cause any symptoms at all. But when they do, symptoms may include:

Bad breath
Enlarged, swollen tonsils or tonsil
Sore throat Pain with swallowing
Difficulty swallowing The sensation that something foreign is lodged in your throat
Anyone can get tonsil stones, but they are most common in young adults who have a history of recurrent throat infections.


Diagnosing and Treating Tonsil Stones

Your doctor can usually diagnose tonsil stones by examining your throat or manually removing the stone. In some cases, an imaging study (for example, an X-ray or CT scan) may be required to confirm the diagnosis and better visualize the tonsil stones.

If your tonsil stones do not cause any symptoms or problems, no treatment will be required. But if you have a stone that is very large or is associated with worrisome symptoms (such as pain, swollen tonsils, or problems swallowing), you may need treatment. Tonsil stones are sometimes removed surgically, or if the stone is large and impacted within your tonsil, you may need to have a tonsillectomy (the surgical removal of your tonsils).


Preventing Tonsil Stones

The best way to prevent tonsil stones is to avoid developing pockets and crevices in your tonsils in the first place. The following steps can help you do just that, by reducing your risk of recurrent episodes of tonsillitis:

Wash your hands frequently.
Avoid sharing dishes, utensils, and toothbrushes with, and kissing people who have tonsillitis.
If you have tonsillitis frequently, ask your doctor if he or she recommends a tonsillectomy.

logicboy: I was a catholic but have always been a bit secular. I grew up watching MTV and Cartoons. I also made fun of protestant churches with their fake miracles and speaking in tongues.

When I moved to the UK, I became more secular. I found it a waste of time to go to church during winter. Freezing my azz off to go to church on sunday when I can watch premiership football.


However I was still a christian then. As someone that likes to get facts and argue, I started reading about the major wars and civilization. I read about slavery, Roman empire, medieval Britain etc.

The fateful day came when I was racially abused by an atheist white man, who said that "blacks are stupid because they are accept a religion that enslaved their people and they still like the image of a white Jesus; It is a curse to be black". Normally, as a London black boy, there are two ways of dealing with racists; beating sense into the racist or logically exposing the fallacious argument supporting racism. However, I was rooted to the spot. The part about slavery was right. The racist was mostly wrong but there was an element of truth. We had statues of a white Jesus in the 3 biggest catholic churches in Lagos.


I went home and started reading on "christianity and slavery".....that was the beginning of my alter-ego; logicboy. Logic became my Master.

Christianity is a foriegn religion to Nigeria and is no less of a fairytale than Shango or Ogun or thor.

Lol thanks but I disagree. I love politics as a subject but not as a career (speechwriting exempted).
