1 | The offspring of Adam's | Gen 5:1 | azurelaw | 215638 | ||
The chapter starts this verse specifically mentioning the offspring of Adam's. While reading, Cain and his line is not mentioned but Seth's only. However, end of chapter 4 records Cain and his line. Does the author (Moses, accurately should be God) intentionally leave out Cain and his line, and disregarding them being the offspring of Adam's or the sons of God as the story goes on to talk about the evil deeds of men and the marriage between sons of God and the daughers of men (Ch 6:2)?

2 | The offspring of Adam's | Gen 5:1 | DocTrinsograce | 215640 | ||
Dear Sister Azure, We can summarize the Scriptures as being "redemptive history." It is Christocentric. There have been many people throughout history, but the Holy Spirit has chosen only a very few to have lived out their lives as a part of the Word. The lineage of our Savior was through the line of Seth. The postdiluvian lineage continues on through Shem, the son of Noah. We might deem, therefore, that the history of all these other peoples are simply not necessary (doctrinally); i.e., necessary in the sense of the doctrine of the necessity of the Word. In fact, we can be certain of this, for if it were necessary, then the Holy Spirit would have included it! :-) I don't know how satisfactory that answer might be, but it is what came to mind as I considered your question. In Him, Doc |
