141 | who did cain marry? | Gen 1:1 | Brian.g | 14105 | ||
Here is another option to consider: Let's look at Genesis in a little bit different order than it is written. After God confronted Cain about his brother, God banished Cain to the Land of Nod (which means Land of Wandering - Nomadic living). Cain was terrified of this punishment and in Genesis 4:14, Cain states that whoever finds me will kill me (whoever as in man, not whatever as in animal). To that, in Genesis 4:15, 15 But the LORD said to him, "Not so[5] ; if anyone kills Cain, he will suffer vengeance seven times over." Then the LORD put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him Again, God is protecting Cain from people, not animals. Now, with that understanding that other people did exist in the world, by the time Cain was banished from Eden, is it possible that what Genesis is saying is that Adam and Eve are the first people God made, but not the only people God made. If that is the case, Cain had plenty of opportunity to meet and marry a non-relative. |

Nolan It helps people in their faith by being comfortable asking a question without needing your permission to speak. It allows people to open their minds and their hearts and try to understand. Some questions may be insignificant to you, but to the person asking, it may not be. Your role as a teacher is to guide and assist people, not to dictate to them. That is not a successful method of bringing God to people or allowing people to try to find God - one step at a time. Brian |

Nolan Does the Bible specifically say that God formed only Adam from dust, or that he was the first. Also, are you planning on excommunincating me from this forum for speaking against it, in the same way the Catholic Church excommunicated Martin Luther for also being a heretic? Brian |

147 | who did cain marry? | Gen 1:1 | Brian.g | 14153 | ||
I said the Catholic Church called him a heretic for speaking in a manner which the Church did not agree - and the Pope excommunicated him. Do you share similiar infallible one-man decision making power in this forum? Which chapter and verse of Genesis says God made only Adam - don't speak in generalities - be specific. Also, who was God protecting Cain from - be specific - because I can't find an answer. |

The question I put before you is not who did Cain marry. My question was where does it say Adam is the only man God created from dust. The second question was - who is God protecting Cain from by marking Cain. Can you find the answer to these questions. Brian |

Serenetime I was surprised to say the least, that when I checked my email this morning, I found a response from this forum to a post I made 7 months ago. Thank you for your concern. However, although he does not need me, I would like to defend Nolan (Makarios). The post you referred to was published in August, 2001 and we are now 7 months later. From day one of this forum, and specifically in the time period since the post in question, Makarios has make significant contributions to this forum and has handled himself with the utmost of professionalism and as a solid example of Christian leadership. How Makarios responded to my post of 7 months ago, falls into the same category as to who Cain married - it just doesn't matter anymore. Brian |

152 | why did god create the universe? | Gen 1:1 | Brian.g | 195897 | ||
Racheeyy Gen 1:28-30 does tell us that the earth was given to man. However, Scripture does not definitively say why the universe (outside of our world) was created. But, we know that God created man out of love. To suggest that God made man for his own self-glory would be to imply a deficiency of ego within God. It would imply that God needed man's existence (or worship) in order to feel 'complete'. That would imply man's value is so great that God, Himself, must have our affirmation of His greatness. And, we know that it is not so. God does not need man. Nor was God compelled by some outside force to create man. That would imply that there is a force or being in the universe greater than God. Again, we know that is not so. God did not create man to fulfill an internal deficiency, nor was God compelled by an outside force. The only motive which remains is love. However, it is right that everything we do should be done for the glory of God. When man is in full union with God, and we know and experience the fullness of God's love, we have no desire but to glorify God and all of His greatness. Brian |

153 | Why tree of life, of knowledge in gard? | Gen 2:9 | Brian.g | 89334 | ||
The Lords Church I would like to expand a bit on your fine answer: In Romans 5:13 for up to the time of the law, sin was in the world, though sin is not accounted when there is no law. This means that sin, did exist in the world, but until Adam and Eve were specifically told this first single law, don't eat from this tree - they could have eaten a hundred apples from that tree and not be guilty of sin. Because sin is a free-will act of defiance against God. To sin, you must, by your own free decision and action, do something which is an offense to God. Committing the same act, without knowledge that it is an offense to God, is not considered a sin. The opposite of this now is your free-will acceptance of Jesus. God wants us to freely chose Him.

154 | Would Adam and Eve have fallen? | Gen 3:13 | Brian.g | 186963 | ||
Vincent There are two ways to look at this question. First: as you asked it - would Adam and Eve have fallen if the devil never entered the garden Second: Did Adam and Eve have the power or ability to reject sin - whether the devil was present or not. The devil does not have ultimate power or control over mankind. Man has to participate and make the final decision as to whether or not to sin. Gen 4:7 If you do well, you can hold up your head; but if not, sin is a demon lurking at the door: his urge is toward you, yet you can be his master." Mt 4:3-10 ...At this, Jesus said to him, "Get away, Satan ... In the first example, God tells us we have the ability to reject Satan.. In the second example, Jesus the man, rejects the temptations of the devil. In both cases, God is telling and showing us, we have the intellect and strength to reject sin, if we desire to. Actually, the third way to look at this question would be: would Adam and Eve used their intellect to question God's command, in the first place - and if so, could they have come to the conclusion or opinion (because this would be an act of the intellect or reason), that God was wrong. Well, I think we see enough actions in this world where people have come to the conclusion that they are more capable of making a proper decision about things than God is and I don't think Satan can take credit for all of those acts, I think sometimes man can do it, all by himself. When man reasons with his intellect that his decision is more right than God's, it is a sign of man's lack of faith and lack of trust in God and Jesus. Mark 11:22 Jesus said to them in reply, "Have faith in God. Brian |

Steve This is a good reference, thank you Man's desires is a driving force. God says 'this', but my desires say 'that'. Ultimately, man has to decide, by using his intellect, whether he is going to trust in God or is he going to judge God as wrong, by choosing his own opinions. But, man has the ability and the freedom of will to choose God. Thanks Brian |

ebrain I have reviewed your analysis and I would like comment on it. Your comparision of Adam to Jesus is interesting, but incomplete. Jesus never sinned. Adam sinned. Jesus took on the weight of man's sin with the purpose of uniting man with God - but he did not sin. Jesus was united with God and trusted God, he was not afraid to be seen by God. Adam joined with Eve in sinning against God. If his intent was to protect Eve, then it was to protect Eve, against God. Jesus recognized that mankind does sin, but through true repentence and by seeking God's foregiveness we can again unite with God. Adam took a defensive position against God and tried to hide his sin. In Gen 3:8-9, Adam and Eve hid in the bushes. Jesus never advocated hiding from God, but to repent so we can be with God. I hope this helps Brian |

158 | Did God really want animal sacrifices? | Gen 4:4 | Brian.g | 37855 | ||
Robust A good starting point to answering your questions would be to read Psalms 50:5-23, and pay particular attention to verses 5, 8-13 and 23. Psalms 50:23 Those who offer praise as a sacrifice honor me; to the obedient I will show the salvation of God."). Brian |
