Bible Question:
I have tried to read thru the book of genesis, and have found alot of the terms not sure of the meaning. I also Have often wondered, How If God made Adam and Eve, as the beginning of mankind. and Eve was the first woman on earth, to bear children. Where did Cain and Abel get wives from? And although I have often asked that question to people that profess to know the bible from every aspect. Can never answer that question. and also will I find the answer in this bible study.

Bible Answer: Good morning Marigee, shalom, Welcome to the Forum. First of all, you can just type in the "search" box on the upper right of this page, adam, eve, cain,able wives and you will get lots of posts to choose from to read. The main answer that you will get tho is that the boys married the girls of Adam and Eve, and this continued until the earth was nicely populated. There could be no other way. God "created" only the one man, and then made/created one woman from him Gen. 1:26-29 and 2:7, 21-25. As you read the Bible, it's easy to forget that it is not just a history of a people. From Genesis to Revelation, it's the Gospel of our Messiah, the Good News that God loves us. Not everything is addressed. It's a journey from the beginning of life to the Son of God to the end of life as we know it now. It's the story of our Savior, and our redemption. Cheri |
