1 | Cain's wife is from who? | Acts 17:26 | granpa | 223591 | ||
the early chapters of Genesis are difficult and controversial. Any answer is going to highly offend someone somewhere. My theory is that those chapters were written in an extremely primitive language which was then translated into hebrew. That is why we end up with seemingly impossible things like talking snakes and such. This primitive language no longer exists and therefore it is nearly impossible to say what really happened. |

Hello granpa, You said, "My theory is that those chapters were written in an extremely primitive language which was then translated into hebrew". How exactly did you arrive at this conclusion? Do you have something upon which to base your "theory"? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

besides the obvious fact that the first few chapters are written in a completely differnt style from the rest of the bible and obviously use metaphors extensively there is also Gen 11 which in my opinion supports the idea of a long lost original language. Gen 11: "happened all the earth lip (language) one and words few". also the text of Gen 1 and 2 uses exactly the words one would expect to see in an extremely primitive language with few words. |

4 | Cain's wife is from who? | Acts 17:26 | G. Preston | 223597 | ||
I am not aware of the Bible/Genesis,et al, saying that God only created Adam and Eve. Just that they were the first creation. The reference to them is an example of creation and may not reflect the totel content of the act of Creation of man. It makes sense that God created more in numbers. To dispatch this reasoning infers God allowed the conditions for incest...which the Anti-Christ folks love. Reactions/Opinions are invited. |

5 | Cain's wife is from who? | Acts 17:26 | Rodnword | 223599 | ||
Preston, I would have to agree with you. Could we assume that we have two blood lines, those from Adam and that of the others? Would this help to explain the chosen people? | ||||||
6 | Cain's wife is from who? | Acts 17:26 | Beja | 223602 | ||
Seems this verse throws a pretty big wrench in the theory of creating other lines of people. Act 17:26 And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, In Christ, Beja |

7 | Cain's wife is from who? | Acts 17:26 | G. Preston | 223603 | ||
Beja, I submit you may be applying that parable a little narrow. With logic,a wide interpretation of...'made from one man"....is that Adam was the base creation from which additional creation numbers were drawn. e.g Eve. The Bible reflects other examples. For instant ...Christ was baptised ...not because he had sinned...but, because He desired an example for us to follow. |

Preston, Read the context, this is not a parable at all. Rather it is an explicit teaching from Paul. In Christ, Beja |
