Bible Note: More than 30 Questions, Notes and Answers to address one question. That must be a question of earth-shaking importance. Does the answer to this question have any bearing on the Trinity, the Deity of Christ, salvation by grace through faith? No, no and no. Is it a question that affects my eternal destiny, my walk with the Lord, possible loss of rewards at the judgment? No, no and no. Does it have anything to do with heresy, apostasy, a great falling away, the date of the Second Coming? No, no, no and no. Well, then, what is so colossal, sensational, stupendous, and tremendous that the question causes such a stir? The question is: Whom did Cain marry? Was it a younger sister, an older sister, an aunt, a niece, a descendant of his maternal grandmother? We MUST know. Inquiring minds want to know: Did Cain marry his niece? With the Mideast on the brink of war, euthansia, stem cell research, abortion, eliminating God from the public schools, gay and lesbian rights, AIDS, S.I.D.S, STDs, increasing violent crime, mothers murdering their own babies, the church all but dead in the Laodecian age, etc., the greatest issue of our day, the answer to which we await with bated breath, is: Whom did Cain marry? Everything depends on the answer to this most crucial of all questions. Please don't keep us in suspense any longer. All you speculators, Lone Rangers, armchair experts, and other serious students of the Bible, please tell us if you know. (Re-posted.) This is the most asinine, irrelevant, trivial, unedifying, useless, unprofitable debate I've ever seen. Who knows who Cain married? Who cares? The theory that Cain married his sister, a later daughter of Adam, is unsupported by the Bible? Unsupported? FYI: Who Cain Married is NOT one of the essentials of the Christian faith. To my knowledge, no church ever split over the issue of who Cain married. No wars were fought over it. No Reformer had five minutes to devote to the issue. I can't imagine why anyone would be so dogmatic and fanatical as to waste his time trying to push this. The man in the street, the cop on the beat, the butcher, the baker, the pastor, the president -- NOBODY cares who Cain married. Nobody, that is, except for one or two Lone Ranger Internet self-appointed Bible experts. Quit worrying about the nameless wife of a man who lived approximately 6,000 years ago. |
