1 | Who did Cain marry to have children? | Genesis | judeddokoinu | 62147 | ||
I don't remember anything about his sister being the one he married. It was just someone from the land of nod, right? | ||||||

Are these assumptions that the creation story (Adam and Eve)is an incest story because my question would be who did cain marry to have children? The bible never said it was his sister. It seems to me that there are assumptions being made here to explain something that God did in a simplified manner. Why could God not have created Adam and Eve as the first man and women and then created the other people in the world in the same fashion. There are cities that appear in Genesis and then the bible speaks of Cain going off to another city to find his wife. There seems to me that an assumption has to be made to say that he married his sister and through incest had his family. | ||||||

Robertmm3: Welcome to the Forum! You are correct about Cain. With not knowing how many years had taken place from the exit of the garden, Cain could have even married a cousin, or niece. However I find no Biblical justification that God created others as He Adam and Eve. This would really amount to some unexplained matters. For instance did they too sin in a different garden? Would that not conflict with the record in Genisis? Should you have any Biblical basis for your presumption I would like to know of where you draw such a conclusion? Good to have you with us. justme |

4 | Who did Cain marry to have children? | Genesis | FTimA | 65244 | ||
In order for Cain to have married a cousin, he would have had an uncle, meaning a brother of Adam or Eve. This is not possible for Adam was the first man. Cain also killed Abel before he married and we are not told of any children Abel would have had. If Abel would have had children he would have had them by a sister also. Cain does have a wife prior to the birth of Seth so this rules out Cain marrying a niece. The only conclusion we can make is that Cain married a sister and had children by her. | ||||||

FTimA: We do not have a complete record when other children were born to Adam and Eve, There was no adolense then and young marriage as perhaps 13 or so is well within the range of possibility. So it is a still open ended as to who Cain married. The earth was populated enough for him to find a wife that much we do know for sure. justme |
