Portsider View Profile History	Where did Cain get his wife? Posted : 22 Nov, 2009 10:19 PM Don't know whether anyone will see this since I am late posting, but Mrchristian is right. Mankind was created in Gen. 1. Adam was an eighth day creation since he was "formed" after God rested in the 7th day. Cain married a woman from the 6th day creation. How could Cain build a city by himself (Gen. 4:17)? According to God's biological laws, Adam could not have been the progenitor of all theraces of mankind. Paul Post Reply
Maniacs1 View Profile History	Where did Cain get his wife? Posted : 9 Dec, 2009 12:47 AM im just throwing this out there. in genesis 1 God created everything as we all know, but could genesis 2 be God recaping as to what He did on day 6, the creation of man and the naming of all the animals? alot of people seem to think that these are 2 seperate accounts, but this is just my thought on it. on the topic of cains wife, seth is the first child of adam and eve that was given a date of birth (when adam was 130), in 130 years adam and eve could have had about 100+ kids (remember to take into consideration that the bible does not mention any kids being born before the fall, but then again that doesnt mean that they didnt have any) so cain would have had plenty of sisters to marry (incest wasnt prohibited till about 2000 or so years later so it didnt really matter, and besides who else was there?)

proudlycanadian View Profile History	Where did Cain get his wife? Posted : 26 Dec, 2009 06:33 PM Maniacs and Jesus Freak have hit it right on. Genesis 2 is a "re-cap" or more indepth look if you will at the work of creating that God did on day 6 - NOT another round of creating. EVERYTHING was created in 6 days, and on the seventh day God rested. Adam and Eve had many children - first of all, we dont know how long they were in the garden - could have been any number of years...personally I like to think that God didnt start counting years until after the fall...but thats just my own little bit of imagination **(PLEASE NOTE - I am NOT advocating that the earth is billions of years old or anything like that...I believe the earth is roughly 6500-10000 years old - but it is possible that Adam and Eve lived in the garden for a hundred or two hundred years before they fall...time in which they would not have aged since the law of sin and death had not yet taken effect)...they could have been there for a few days, weeks, years or a couple centuries. But that's really a moot point. God created Adam and Eve - two people. He didn't create any other people. They had MANY children....and yes, their children intermarried. Remember that Adam and Eve were created with ALL the possibilities for ALL mankind that we see in every person around us today...there would have been NO problem with their children intermarrying...no adverse side effects since they were so close to the source/origin if you will. Also - it wouldn't have taken long before there were hundreds of thousands of people on earth...most of them complete strangers to each other. Post Reply

Fulvio View Profile History	Where did Cain get his wife? Posted : 4 Feb, 2010 12:56 AM Cain had to have married one of his sisters. It was not wrong then, because the effects of sin on humanity had not degenerated to the point that it would centuries later, making marriage between close relatives dangerous and sinful. It was not until thousands of years later that God put restrictions on marriage, as outlined in Leviticus18. Post Reply
simplykat View Profile History	Where did Cain get his wife? Posted : 2 Jun, 2010 10:10 AM Hey people who do have to argue where did Cain get his wife??? Why do you have to be too smart. Why do you need answer as if you are asking for miracles for you people to be able to believe with the works of OUR GREAT LORD. Are we smarter than OUR CREATOR? Why do you have to question all his works. You can never have the answer no matter what, God is too smart for any of us. You can never imagine HIS ways no one can tell what GOD is up too. Even Jesus Son of God follow HIS own fathers will seek for His Fathers advice our God. We are just a dust in this world, but we act as if we are smarter than OUR LORD,Seeking answers for us to be able to be satisfied our beliefs. Do not TEST our LORD! Remember that. Why don't you just have faith with our God the Father. Aren't all HIS wonderful creation good enough for you people to be amaze??? Why do you questions God's work of art. Here is another question, about adultery. God will allow someone to be married again, or to divorce his wife for no other reason aside from being unfaithful. Other than that you would commit adultery. Then how about if your husband is a killer,or an abuser??? isn't that a good ground too? for you to live your husband or divorce him??? But your husband doesn't commit adultery, but an abusive husband could almost kill you if you would not leave him? what if you would leave him, then of course you would want to have another life, isn't this a good reason to marry again and do not commit adultery because your husband is like a murder? Here's a good point, God only says you can divorce your wife if she commits adultery that's it period no other reason at all. For that cases, lets not be stubborn, we cannot divorce our husband, but, GO and turn your life to the LORD tell HIM everything, And God will do the right punishment for it. Perhaps,God can help you change your partner, our probably One day you would be a widow. God has so many ways we cannot imagine so do not question God's will and HIS commandments. For God has all the answer for everything. Have faith with our LORD. And he provide you everything that you need from wisdom to everything that you need that would be good for us. Post Reply
Fulvio View Profile History	Where did Cain get his wife? Posted : 13 Jun, 2010 10:32 AM Hi. This is just a quick reply, because I don't have time now to cite biblical support. Cain must have married one of his sisters. That wasn't wrong then, because the effects of sin had not become as devastating physically as they would become in time. God didn't prohibit marriage between close relatives until thousands of years later, as state in Leviticus 18. Post Reply
View Profile History	Where did Cain get his wife? Posted : 1 Sep, 2010 06:52 AM It is interesting how so many people can read the same scriptures and see so many different things hidden in them. My husband was so curious about this subject too, did much research, and never found the answer. But as I am reading everyone's responses, I just think about how God is such a wonderful loving God. Look what Cain did. God was unhappy with his gift, as there is to be a shedding of blood (lambs in the old testament, Jesus in the new testament). Cain gave veggies, God was displeased. Cain got jealous of Abel due to God being pleased with Abel's gift, and Cain killed him. God has so much love for us even when we fall. Even though Cain killed Adam, God put a mark on his head so no one would harm him. He sent him away for his consequences, but even in his consequences, God loved him, and brought him a wife. Cain's life would have been totally different if he had not been disobedient, but God blessed him anyway. I don't even see where Cain had yet repented, and God loved him in the state he was in. The same with Adam and Eve. Even in their sin, God loved them. As a loving Father, He covered them with clothing to hide their nakedness and shame, He sent them out into the world from the protected Garden, and took care of them. They had consequences of course, but God never removed His love from them. These are the things I focus on when the Bible does not reveal the answers. His deep love for us no matter what spiritual state we are in. He died for us while we were yet sinners. Angelwars Post Reply
View Profile History	Where did Cain get his wife? Posted : 12 Oct, 2010 02:15 PM Where Did Cain Get His Wife? I'd Tell You if I was ABEL. Get it? I'd tell you if I was Abel (his brother):ROFL: The prohibition against marrying sister/brother was not introduced until about 1000 years AFTER the flood. Adam lived 1500 years BEFORE the Flood. He and his wife Eve were commanded to multiply. They had sons and DAUGHTERS according to Scripture. Any number of excellent creationist websites (like Answers in Genesis) have well-written answers to this and other questions. There were NO OTHER people. We are all descended from Adam and Eve according to Paul. Post Reply
