Subject: Did Adam and Eve have a daughter? |
Bible Note: Robert: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum. I think you make a point that some would agree with depending upon their view of Scripture. My view of creation is one of being very literal, and I believe Cain and Able were Adam and Eve's first children. We do not know how old Cain and Able were when the murder took place. Surely Adam and Eve had to have many other children before Able was killed. Those other children must have had families of their own, and it is very possible that there were several generations of relatives from Adam and Eve by the time Cain was removed. When Moses wrote Genesis (I don't accept the JEPD theory) not every detail is recorded as you suggest and for many they might not be aware of that. Filling in the gaps of history is very interesting to me. Ofteen we hear or read of different discoveries being made even today that over and over contribute to the accuracy of Scripture. It is an exciting time in which we live to see the Bible come alive. Blessings and Merry Christmas Robert. justme |
