He then encounters a widow who is still a virgin because , although being married seven times her husbands were all killed by an evil spirit on the wedding night. And he lacked seventy years of one thousand years; for one thousand years are as one day in the testimony of the heavens and therefore was it written concerning the tree of knowledge: On the day that ye eat thereof ye shall die.

The Lord counsels Cain and warns him, but if you dont do right, sin is crouching at the door; its urge is toward you, yet you can be its master (Genesis 4:7). Where did all these people in Nod come from if Adam and Eve are the original people created? It rules out a gap between verses one and two. His bloodline ended with the flood. In that the failure of the son of God, Adam, all fell, through Jesus, the unfallen son of God we are redeemed. So its certain he took along one his sister with him. Organized religion can change the orbit of the earth,sun and other planets. Today, we are millenniums away from the perfection once possessed by our original parents. I have written a longer response to what you said in your last post, but here I want to stick to the single pair discussion. Cain had other siblings and could have been married before the curse, it doesnt matter. If the latter is the case, Cain could have found a wife pretty much anywhere. However, if Adam is the faculty of intellectual wisdom and Eve is the emotional nature of love, something missing in any/all other beings on the planet at the time, we might come to understand the tendencies of man and woman, plus understand what makes us as we are today, complete people, as in a balance of the two.

The biblical example above demonstrates the potential for long-term consequences. This is an absurd question to whom did a mythical character in a mythical story get married? There is no Biblical, exegetical, case for separating the male and female in Genesis one from Adam and Eve in Genesis two. 8 Cainan also grew up, married, and begat Mahalaleel. http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0022821 Earlier I showed that the male and female of Genesis 1 were the Adam and Eve of Genesis 2-5.

As for me, Ill see the Gods message and truth behind the text whether it literally happened or not. And it is not only Cane who got married but also other sons of Adam ,peace be upon him , like Sheeth and Yafeth who also got to another nymphs .

Today Cristal had her most emotional day ever. The "Tree" in the Garden represents the Races. Its easy to understand, after all. Genesis 5:4 tells us that Adam and Eve begat sons and daughters. Josephus, the Jewish historian, states that The number of Adams children, as says the old tradition, was thirty-three sons and twenty-three daughters. The point, of course, is that Adam and Eve did have many children. It was this form of love that Christ not only restored but elevated on Calvary in the blood and water that flowed from his side, which the Early Church Fathers (see commentaries by St. John Chrysostom 347-407 A.D. and St Augustine 354-430 A.D.), described as the New Eve flowing from the side of the New Adam.

He built brand new creatures (being both physical and spiritual) of the dust from the earth and a rib, and shaped them into the human form. Notice he was OK with that until Eve came along and in Genesis 3:12 Adam blamed God for giving him the woman.now, I wonder where have I heard that before!!!!!!! Only two or three times has God wrote to man. Along the way he becomes ill and his brothers leave him in a cave supplied with provisions until he should recouperate.

Once again the Focus is on the naming of the entire mankind, in the first two verses. Lastly, there was no global flood. Such as, could it have been in America and the garden being say around the area on St. Louis. WOW, I dony know who is right or wrong on this stream, bit it is wonderful to read so many knowledgable people discussing this important issue.
