Bible Question: Nick: you say that Cain MUST have married his sister. Is there any reason why you would discount the possibility that it may have been his niece? I'm nat saying it was his niece or had to be his niece. I had always believed it had to be his sister, given the information available to us. However, someone on this forum has pointed out that it may have been his niece and it seems to me that people here are not willing to address that possibility. |
Bible Answer: Dear Raymondo, PLEASE Do not call me "Nick". My Screen Name is there for a REASON. You have not been given any license whatsoever to SHORTEN it in any way whatsoever. Now back to the question... I say that it is of my opinion that Cain married his sister. Cain has been married so many myriad times on this Forum already that I wonder if his harem is up to Solomon's standards by now! What does it matter if he married his niece or sister? In my opinion, Cain married his sister, and anything MORE about who Cain married or didn't marry is purely speculation!! I am not one to dwell on speculation. The Bible does not mention just who Cain married: therefore, I won't say anything more than the obvious: that it must have been a close relative, most likely his sister. This Forum is not a place for Speculation. It is here for the Purpose of Bible Study. If the answer cannot be found in the Bible, then we should not dwell on the question. --Nicodemus |
