Subject: whom did cain marry? |
Bible Note: Norrie: You write: "The Bible states that Adam and Eve had MANY sons and daughters. Cain merely married his sister." Excellent! Thank you! Essentially the same answer was given almost a year ago the first time the question was asked. Way back then this answer should have ended the question once and for all. For any reasonable person it would have ended the question. I don't know why it wasn't ended then. But, whether out of pride, foolishness or just plain stupidity several forumites rejected the most obvious answer. Indeed any other answer is pure speculation and totally without scriptural support. I like the rest of what you wrote and include it here for the sake of the ninety and nine who didn't get it the first time: "The reason we don't realize this obvious answer is because we have been trained to believe things have always been the way they are today. The current world becomes far more understandable as we view it through a Biblical perspective, which acknowledges that the past, has at times, been very different than the present."
