1 Peter 3:20.

 

[Kryzoz]

2 Noah and His Wife
6 Shem Ham Japeth and their wives

 

[zeke37]

probably more than just the Adamites (ha adam)

all flesh, includes the ethnic peoples(adam)...


and we also know that Cain's lineage survived the food as well.

and we also know that Cain's lineage survived the food as well.

How do we know that?

zeke37,

re: "...and we also know that Cain's lineage survived the food as well."

I think that you are probably right. The food couldn't have been all that bad.

 

[Yuyuchan]

Only Noah, his wife, his sons, and his sons wives.

 

[Yuyuchan]

God told Noah that in his seed the each shall be replenished. i do not recall God saying anything about Cain's lineage.

I just read Ezekiel 37 and couldn't find that verse...how could have Cain's lineage have lived mostly since God said only 8 people survived the flood?

Noah and his wife Emzara (name according to tradition)
Shem and his wife Sedegetelebab (name according to tradition)
Ham and Ne'elatama'uk (name according to tradition)
Japheth and 'Adataneses (name according to tradition)

The lineage of Cain allegedly survived through the wife of Ham, Ne'elatama'uk, who was allegedly of Cainite ancestry.

Of course, these are all only traditions. The only truth that Christians know is that there are eight persons in the ark, Noah, Shem Ham, and Japheth, and the wives of the four men, who are not named.
