| Where Did Cain Get His Wife? by JKisOK(op): 8:26am On Jan 25, 2020 |
Sorry, I don’t know about you, but I finally found the answer to that cheeky question that mischievous unbelievers ask believers: “Where did Cain (the really first Badoo) get his wife?” Finally, finally, I got the answer just this morning past 5am. Now, don’t LOL! LOL....! Cain did not do-the-do with his Mum, Eve, as the evil-minded always suggested. Flush Sigmund Freud and his Oedipus Complex (don’t bother if you never heard of them) down the drain. In those early days when the world was innocent and the rules on incest and inbreeding were still locked away, Adam and Eve went on to have other children apart from Cain and Abel. And Cain, although ridiculing the idea of being Brother Abel’s keeper (preferring to be his brother’s killer instead), obviously became his sister’s lover. And the Bible did not hide this fact. GENESIS 5:4 -“And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he (Adam, obviously) begat sons and daughters.” There, you have it! Eureka!

meanwhile when Cain was about running away from the garden , God gave him a mark on forehead , so that people that will see him on exile will not kill him , how about that too ? meaning people were somewhere too Genesis 4 vs 15 But the LORD said to him, "Not so; anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over." Then the LORD put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. |

First, 2 people, can't repopulate the earth, because there would be too less DNA dynamism, which would lead to abnormalities in the offspring... it takes at least 100 people of different descent to be able to repopulate the earth(this fact destroys both the Adam and Eve & Noahs Ark stories)and it would take quite longer than the 10 thousand years your spiritual textbook states.... I know you might be tempted to say God handle the whole DNA thing, well I can't argue with believe, but don't try to put logic or science into it... It's purely a fallacy 1 Like |

Vrengkat:God's answer to you... Isaiah 55:8 -"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." |

majamajic:Right premise, wrong conclusion. Mind you, Adam and Eve were also present at the time of Cain's crime, they could have been angry enough to want to dispense vengeance by themselves. So the place you quoted could have been referring to them, even if there were no other people populating the earth at that time. And God could be warning the parents not to dispense vengeance. On the other hand, God knows the end from the beginning and He knew that there would be other people, brothers and sisters of Cain and Abel (some born by Adam and Eve at the time of Cain's infamy or thereafter) and their own children who would want to deal vengeance against their brother and uncle. And God could as well be warning these siblings, nephews and nieces from dispensing vengeance on the criminal. |

LET ME SHARE HERE THE ANALYSIS OF THE ESTEEMED BRITISH THEOLOGIAN, ADAM CLARKE (1762-1832) Most people who read this account wonder why Cain should dread being killed, when it does not appear to them that there were any inhabitants on the earth at that time besides himself and his parents. To correct this mistake, let it be observed that the death of Abel took place in the one hundred and twenty-eighth or one hundred and twenty-ninth year of the world. Now, "supposing Adam and Eve to have had no other sons than Cain and Abel in the year of the world one hundred and twenty-eight, yet as they had daughters married to these sons, their descendants would make a considerable figure on the earth. Supposing them to have been married in the nineteenth year of the world, they might easily have had each eight children, some males and some females, in the twenty-fifth year. In the fiftieth year there might proceed from them in a direct line sixty-four persons; in the seventy-fourth year there would be five hundred and twelve; in the ninety-eighth year, four thousand and ninety-six; in the one hundred and twenty-second they would amount to thirty-two thousand seven hundred and sixty-eight: if to these we add the other children descended from Cain and Abel, their children, and their children's children, we shall have, in the aforesaid one hundred and twenty-eight years four hundred and twenty-one thousand one hundred and sixty-four men capable of generation, without reckoning the women either old or young, or such as are under the age of seventeen." See Dodd. But this calculation may be disputed, because there is no evidence that the antediluvian patriarchs began to have children before they were sixty-five years of age. Now, supposing that Adam at one hundred and thirty years of age had one hundred and thirty children, which is quite possible, and each of these a child at sixty-five years of age, and one in each successive year, the whole, in the one hundred and thirtieth year of the world, would amount to one thousand two hundred and nineteen persons; a number sufficient to found several villages, and to excite the apprehensions under which Cain appeared at this time to labour. |

The answer is simple just that you can not find it in the regular Bible we have around except for the full version. Each delivery of Eve was twins(1 boy and 1 girl) but the regular Bible don't usually recon with girls that is why you dont head about them. I will mention the first two set of twins by Adam and Eve because the answer is there! 1st : Cain (boy) and Luluwa (girl) 2nd: Ebel (boy) and Ewan (girl) etc. When they were old enough for marriage Adam wanted to give Luluwa 'the most beautiful among the two girls ' to Ebel because he loves Ebel who is very nice, meek,gentle etc more than his brother Cain who on the other hand is very stubborn. Cain don't like this arrangement, he prefers Luluwa to Awan because she is the most beautiful and that was what led to the beef between the two brothers. To settle this thier parent told them to make a burnt offering to God.... You know the rest of the story from the regular Bible na.... Cain killed his brother after the results of the burnt offering. (more to the story but I will summarize) Adam and Eve had no any other choice than to give Luluwa to Cain as wife. The remaining twins after Cain and Abel Mary in that pattern but they don't kill themselves ooo |
