1 | who did cain marry? | Gen 1:1 | EdB | 39445 | ||
Mr Martin Who Cain married is not doctrine it is idle curiosity! Furthermore not everything can be proved in the Bible that is why God said we must have faith! In fact faith in what is un-provable is what makes God happy! If your were referring to Hank’s soul and your use of the crass words to shock him, you my friend are seriously mistaken. First I know Hank and his salvation as far as humanly possible to determine is secure. And it didn’t get that why by be “shocked”. Since when do we use worldly methods (shock) to bring people to salvation. Isn’t real salvation a product of the Holy Spirit? Sir your questioning of my concern for others is totally uncalled for. First it was because of my concern that I questioned your use of crass language. Also your questioning my concern for “major” doctrine is also totally uncalled for, on what basis do you make that determination? Incidentally I have studied this question, and people wiser than I have “speculated” that given normal reproductive cycles and the life spans given in the Bible it would be quite possible to have had over 50,000 people alive at the time Cain went to Nod. All of these people would be able to trace their genealogy back to Adam and Eve. This has been discussed at great length in the forum and a simple search by anyone “interested” could have found it. If you are one that questions the Bible then I might suggest the book Evidence that Demands a Verdict, by Josh MacDowell , or A Ready Defense also by Josh Macdowell or two books by Henry Morris The Bible Has the Answer and/or Many Infallible Proofs. I have read all of these books and I think they will provide enough information to put to rest any doubt you may carry on the Bible. It was really nice talking to you and please watch the language.

2 | who did cain marry? | Gen 1:1 | Greg Martin | 39520 | ||
No not Hank, but the original poser of the question. Whom Cain married is not major Bible doctrine, that we all descended from Adam is. The question "Who did Cain marry" is not curiosity about Cain's wife. It is a challenge to the origin of Man. Shock was not a good choice of words (and at least two argue that my original choice of words was also not good) Be that as it may. I noted that Hank was right in saying that those theories are all as good as the others. I expounded on that using exactly what I thought they were worth. On the farm we used that word all the time, and the spring in a cow barn is exactly what I was thinking. The argument was that God created more than just Adam and Eve. This would totally negate the doctrine of original sin. It would, taken to it's extent, lead to the conclusion that either Christ died in vain, or at least that not everyone needs Christ. This is a serious matter and not to be taken lightly. And BTW neither you nor I can save anyone. Only God can do that. But if someone questioning the veracity of the Bible can know in strong terms what he is flirting with, well, label me with Isaiah's disease, and I'll suffer the coal. |

I see your point. There is another way to prove we all decended from Adam. How? We know nobody existed after the flood except Noah's family and we can trace Noah right back to Adam. EdB |
