Scott, Indeed, but not the law of marriage within certain degrees of relation, which came only with the Mosaic Covenant. The tree was not the law in the garden. The law was that they not eat of the fruit of the tree. Emmaus |

3 | Cain and Seth's wives descended from who | Genesis | Sctt | 45156 | ||
Hi Emmaus let me see if I can explain myself better.. GEN.2:16-17 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. What is this tree that can bring death to man? Now we know that death comes because of sin RO.5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin. Therefore we can see that it is sin that brings death to man , but what brings us the knowledge of what sin is? The law. RO.3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. Therefore the tree of knowledge of good and evil is the law for by eating of the tree death entered into the world. Now is the knowledge of good and evil ( the law ) sin RO.7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. So then if the eating of the law was not sin what was? Was it not in the breaking of the commandment THOU SHALT NOT, the fruit itself was not the sin , for after God created all the trees He saw that it was good.Gen.1:12 So then why did God command man not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil if there was nothing sinful in the fruit. Is it not because God placed a covering over man in the commandment THOU SHALT NOT , so that man would not see his sinful nature (remember man was created outside of the garden ) because when man sees himself though the eyes of a righteous God his sins overwhelm him and he runs and hides from God , just as Adam hid himself when his eyes became open. Where else do we find the phase THOU SHALT NOT is it not in the commandments that God set down for all men. (Ten commandments ) Therefore the phase THOU SHALT NOT is a commandment of covering , if we listen to it we do not eat of our sinful nature, but we have a foreshadowing of the covering that Jesus Christ gives us. Therefore it was not the eating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil that was mans sin but the breaking of the commandment THOU SHALT NOT. Also look at my answer to Kalos.All scrpture fromm KJV. In Christ Scott |

Scott, Without conceding the point you are attempting to make, allow me also to take another approach on the question you raised about some commentataries dealing with the Cain and his wife because of the issue of incest. That was what prompted my initial response. You handled the question, which I believe the bible does not raise, by proposing polygenism. You said: "Now that we know that man was created a living creature and there were more then just one man and one woman created lets look at Cain and his wife...." Do we know that there was more than one man and woman created? No! In fact Genesis states clearly that Eve was "the mother of all the living." ( Gen 3:20) Meaning that all are decended from her. The bible also states that Adam and Eve "had others sons and daughters." Gen 5:4) The bible state that Cain took a woman as his wife. (Gen 4:17) The implication based on direct scriptural statements is not that other pairs were created with Adam and Eve, but rather that Cain took to wife another female decendent of Adam and Eve. That could have been a sister or a neice or even a further degree od consanguinity depended on when Cain married and when the other children of Adam and Eve were born. If a neice or further removed relation the union was not prohibited by Lv 18:6-18. Hence no incest as defined by the Law presented in Exodus or Leviticus. And consider the fact that Adam and Eve while in the garden did not obey the command to "be fruitfull and multiply," but obeyed that command only after they were expelled from the garden. Kind of turns the stupid notion that original sin was somehow related to sex between a man and his wife on it's head doesn't it? More likely the other way around it would seem. The sin may have been the refusal to be fruitful and mutiply. Trying to have the garden all to themselves like selfish children. But I am not advocating that theory. It is just an interesting tangental thought to ponder. My main point is one Adam and one New Adam! Romans 5:15-17 15: But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many. 16: And the free gift is not like the effect of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brings justification. 17: If, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. 1 Cor 15:45-49 45: Thus it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 46: But it is not the spiritual which is first but the physical, and then the spiritual. 47: The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven. 48: As was the man of dust, so are those who are of the dust; and as is the man of heaven, so are those who are of heaven. 49: Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven. One Adam, one New Adam, Jesus Christ! Emmaus |

Hi Emmaus my post was to long so I will have to answer on two smaller ones.Part 1 Hi Emmaus you write Do we know that there was more than one man and woman created? No! In fact Genesis states clearly that Eve was "the mother of all the living." ( Gen 3:20) Meaning that all are decended from her. Do we know that more then one man and one woman was created , I think we do ,let me explain first you have the serpent in the garden it can talk and reason, this is one of the other tribes of man. Cains wife from one of the other tribes. Sons of God saw the daughters of men,Sons of God Adams tribe , daughters of men another tribe. Look at what man is called in Jude 10 a brute beast now look what Jonah 3:8 says 8But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. You can see that this beast puts on sackcloth and crys to God,it is also with man told to turn from its evil ways and from the violence that is in its hands. So you can see this beast is again from another tribe of man,as the bible makes a differance between man and beast.Now to the second point mother of all living. This is in referance to the seed she would bear Jesus Christ in whom all live,not to all the races of mankind for 2 reasons.1)She had not had any children at the time Adam called her the mother of all living.2)If this is concerning mankind would she not be called the mother of all the dead because from her all are then born in sin,and the wages of sin are death. Now concerning be fruitful and multiply , we do not know if they were going to fulfill this or not as we do not know how long they were in the garden before the fall. Now you qoute Ro.5:15-17 and 1Cor.15:45-49 Concerning Romans it was because the law came into effect that death reigned but in Christ who fulfilled the law we can reign in life. |
