Subject: Where did Cains wife come from |
Bible Note: I think that is some leap to a conclusion there. Genesis 4 7 “If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.” One, I see nothing that supports why God did not have to specify murder has a sin to Cain, but then felt it necessary to make it a commandment. Two, I see nothing that tells how or what to sacrifice to please him. Third, Kalos made the statement, “(keep in mind, the biblical command against marrying close relatives was not given until thousands of years later during the time of Moses).” So I wondered how Kalos came to that understanding. |
