1 | offspring of Adam and Eve | Gen 4:17 | freebyrd | 66938 | ||
My question relates to the creation of mankind. We know that God created Adam and Eve. Did God create others as he did Adam and Eve? Since Eve gave birth to three sons, at least two of these sons took on wives and Cain feared being killed by others when he was sent to The Land of Nod. So where did the wives and others come from? |

2 | offspring of Adam and Eve | Gen 4:17 | Pastor Glenn | 66939 | ||
Freebyrd, We must realize that Cain's generation was living to be over 900 years old. We also must realize that the bible does not say how many children in all that Adam had. I am sure that after migrating to the land of Nod that Cain met many relatives that he did not know. Notice that Adam was 130 when Seth was born. There could have been thousands of nephews, nieces, grand, great grand, and great great grand nieces by then that Cain never saw before. Notice also that Cain built a city and named it after his son Enoch. Well if people left home and built cities then that implies that his people were multiplying over hundreds of years. Just imagine if Thomas Jefferson were still alive and having children for over two hundred years! Wouldn't there be a huge town full of Jefferson’s today? :-) Pastor Glenn |
