1 | Did Cain marry one of his sisters? | Eph 5:25 | prayon | 165397 | ||
Greetings Tessie, There is no legitamate question that a person has about the bible that we should not concern ourselves with. Every word of the bible is there for a reason and is there to teach us. If the bible said that Cain was married then there is a reason it was there and we should strive to understand its meaning. Also Ps 131:2 says "Surely I have behaved and have quieted my soul, as one weaned by its mother; my soul on me is like one weaned." If you were refering to v. 1 then you have used that out of context as it is referring to pride. prayon |

It is your opinion that it was a legitimate question and mine that it is one that is unanswerable and often used to distract from the status of the questioner's stand before the Lord, as in "Answer me this" followed either by a well-rehearsed answer of their own devising, or by the often unspoken "and I'll consider that you know something I don't and might just listen to the other things you have to say about God and my relationship to Him." The first verse of Ps 131 doesn't mention pride at all, so to say it refers to it is again an opinion of interpretation. To me, it simply and clearly speaks of the fact that there are mysteries God has not chosen to share with us and it is really pointless to exercise ourselves in "great matters" or "high things"(which in my opinion are things that are not explained by Scripture or the Holy Spirit). Having said all that, however, I'd like to reiterate that I meant no offense, that I spoke out of what I believe to be a legitimate urging by the Spirit. I apologize to the writer if any offense was taken. Yet, I would still encourage him/her to question the reason for the question. |
