The text says that Cain married
That's right ,Cain find his wife in the Land of Nod located on the east of Eden. Genesis 4:16-17
-- this is not the hard part.

It is the hard part for you ,/ to demonstrate that Cain's wife was his sister or a cousine ..

The problem is that Genesis is wrong, the Hebrew authors didn't know about evolution. With the ancient oral traditions available to the Hebrew writers in Babylon they pieced together a story for the consumption of the scattered, demoralized, once again captive, Bronze Age Israelite. They made NO claim to be writing by divine inspiration, later generations of preachers made that claim as the basis for their authority after the return. The Gods created the primitive life that evolved into life as we know it.
Stick with the Bible. It is God's Word.

Genesis is only *wrong* if the authors of it shared the same modern, Western prejudices for historicity that you and I have. It is the interpreters of Genesis who are wrong when they demand that the interpretation must be "right" or "wrong" based on the assumptions of the modern mind. If we suspend such assumptions, and allow the creation epic to speak in its own context, there is no controversy, no incompatibility. It is when we push the Scriptures farther to speak on our terms that the fractures begin to appear.

The creation epic in Genesis was not intended by the authors to be the equivalent of a modern, historical account of the mechanisms of creation. Rather, in keeping with the world view of ancient peoples, it was primarily a vehicle for disseminating religious belief and establishing a community of like-minded people (remember, very few--if any--of the people hearing these narratives would have been "reading" them, especially as they existed orally long before they were ever written down). However, the modern, Western mind can't accept this; the pull of our biases for "historicity" is too strong, and we are compelled to conclude one way or another on the topic of whether or not the narrative of Genesis "actually happened"....the ancients never asked this question.
Nope.

The Hebrew priests knew very well they were not God. Gods word is somethings entirely different.
No. The words in the Bible are the words of the biblical writers. As Paul himself says that these were his words, not the Lord's. Also, the Bible never claims that it is God's Word. "God's Word" is a title the Bible reserves exclusively for Christ. Saying that the Bible is God's Word seems like the worst kind of bibliolatry possible.

On the 6 Th Day God created mankind with all the different races ,male and female he created them....and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth

Genesis 1:27-28
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it:

It seem that Adam and Eve were not in a hurry to get a third child after Cain and Abel... Why is that (?) ,if Adam and Eve are the same that God created on the 6th day as you have been teached ...there is something who don't add up ?Why Adam and Eve have not respected God's command to be fruitfull and replenish the earth but rather chosed to be sedentary farmer (tiller of the ground)?


Genesis 5:1-5
1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;

2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth:

4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:

5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.

6 And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:

7 And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters:

8 And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died.

9 And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan:
All this has nothing to do with "PreAdamites."

Genetics and historic records prove otherwise.

I don't care for people posting these references to online sources. When someone does that, I am immediately suspicious they do not understand the material, can't put it in their own words, and so blow me off to go look elsewhere. Also, I have spent considerable time, probably more than enough, checking out creation-science sites and materials. I came readily to the conclusion it is definitely all bogus material. I don't have the time of day to waste on any more of it.

You don't even know what you disagree with, because you refuse to look.
A wiki link doesn't change that.
Only you can change that by looking at what you don't want to see.
But you don't want to so you don't.

Have a nice day, cowboy.


Point , Set , Match !!!

Hi Hoghead,

No, what it means is that we have read or watched this article or video and in it contains the answer you seek. I am not going to do other people's research for them. It's merely a way to provide a source for an argument and a resource for you. The answers ARE there for those willing to seek with an open heart...

2'Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.14'I will be found by you,' declares the LORD Jeremiah 29:13

When you will understand that there was only 3 Adamites on the Earth after that Cain killed Abel..You will begin to understand that the people that Cain's feared that they could kill him were not Adamites (Genesis 4:14-15) and the woman who became his wife that Cain meet in the land of Nod was not an Adamite either(Genesis 4:16-17)...Given the fact that Adam and Eve bare their THIRD child named Seth at the age of 130 years old as mentionned in Genesis 5.

Baloney. There are no PreAdamites in Scripture or an any point in the biblical culture.

2 Tim 3:16
Did Paul include his letters here? Doe he say they are Scripture? Does "Scripture " here include the Apocrypha? What? Furthermore, for something to be educational does not require that it is inerrant or dictated word for word by God. Exod. 21 sanctifies slavery, for example. Di you feel that is something God truly wants? Also, there is some debate over the translation here. My REV Bible says "all inspired Scripture," not "all Scripture is inspired."

The answers are definitely no where near there in creation-science sites and related ones managed by unqualified self-styled authorities. Also, again, I have no time to go run look at some source you are others recommend. I am talking to you, not them. If you can't tell me about it, put it in your own words, then I am simply compelled to write you off as someone who really doesn't know what they are talking about. Also, as I understand the rules here, it is illegal to be posting other sites and videos.

Only three listed. Scripture does not claim there were only three.
If Eve had a baby a year, and Abel was 17 -20 at death, both assumptions,
then there would be say 10 or more other younger siblings and possibly
more older. Potentially a population of 30 with near perfect DNA.
