Re: Why do I believe in Jesus? An ex-sikh’s journey in faith...
In your post I see that you don't believe in the Bible. You read it looking for a reason to call it foolishness. Cain and Abel were not Adam's only sons.
In Genesis 5:4 see are told of these other sibling.
Cain's wife was his sister. This would later be forebidden at Sinai, but at Cain's generation the human gene-pool had only degenerated in sin for one generation. By Sinai, it had been over two thousand years of degeneration.
("over two thousand" is reached by adding up the ages in the geneology: so-and-so lived this-many years and begot this-person. These dates are actual solar years. If they were months as some assume, Cainan the son of Enosh was not quite 6 when he had his first son."
I'm curious.....
God created Adam and Eve.
Adam had 2 sons: Cain and Abel.
Cain kills Abel.
Hmmm....
So how did more babies get born? Who was Cain's wife?
