I have been reading all the posts where people have questions they cant seem to figure out about the bible .
I have a few questions myself that I was hopeing someone could help explain.


1.Who did Cain marry if there was no other people besides Adam and Eve ?
The only answer I could come up with is maybe there were other people outside the garden that the Lord didnt have anyone write about ...Did God possibly make other people before Adam and Eve ?I mean the garden was just a place in the east of the land .What was going on in other directions ?
Maybe he was creating other beings like (other races) because where did all of the other races come from ?
Why didnt they tell about Cains wife and where she came from .Except he found her in the land of Nod.Where did she come from ?
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Is it possible that Adam and Eve was created after Gods own image and maybe satan created an Adam and Eve in his own image too outside of the garden?)

I know some Christians will tell me that back then they interbred with their sisters that got born to Adam and Eve .,..but there are 2 problems with that.
1 is I dont believe God would do that since even we know what happens with interbreeding .Why would he do that with a perfect creation (Which was what we were at first )
The second thing is there is no talk of sisters or kin born till after Cain went to Nod ...when did the wife supposedly leave the family in order to be in Nod when Cain was ..Also where was Nod and where did that City come from if no other peoples existed other then Cain and Abel and Adam and Eve ?


Any help on this would be much appreciated ...
I cant find any answers at least that I am satisfied with yet lol .

Simplynoone,
The Bible is silent on "where" Cain got his wife. I believe we are free to presume that he married one of his sisters.

One could make the same "follow-up" question for Noah and his family.

God never forbid it until Moses led the Hebrews from Egypt. (Exodus) When he Gave Moses the commandments. You have to remember, the book of Genesis was written by Moses and covered approximately 2000 years. God needed interbreeding to populate the Earth, once that was complete He then told man to not do it anymore.

Plus genealogist scientists say that with a perfect gene pool free of deformities and genetic disorders there would have been no problem interbreeding.

Look at the scripture and see that it wasn't until Moses led the people out of Egypt that God forbid it.

Dont you see a problem with thinking they interbred ?

And then later on down the line say it is not good do not do it


Biblically? As in, "Am I worried about what the Bible says?"
No, not really.
Abraham married his half-sister.
Noah and his extended family needed to re-populate the earth.

God commanded Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply, even BEFORE the fall.

I believe God is SOVEREIGN, but not ARBITRARY.

Why didnt they just say Cain married his sister then ?.


I don't know.

I just have some nagging feeling that has to be more to the story than meets the eye .


If a person feels the Bible is somehow lacking "the WHOLE story", I suppose God would lead that man to tell us the rest of the story?

And in Noahs situation didnt his wife come along ?


Please read the above.

You were in Hades, remember, no one is in the Lake of Fire until the judgment.

Maybe. Thats what I guess I may have been hinting at. It was a snapshot, so to speak of something. My guess has always been that it is something in the present. But I do not know if I can be sure because time was strangely applied on that day because on earth, someone who would have been observing me may have only seen me blink. I mean it did not take up any normal time. So, how can I be sure if I was in the present, or anywhere at all for that matter. It was not like a dream because everything went along in sequence and I did not think that I knew anyone or recognize any places. It all happened in a seemingly normal way, despite the unusual circumstances.

JM read this
Because I have lots of dreams ...some nice ones some not so nice dreams .
I wanted to know why I dream so much ..And why alot of them come true
And are they from you Lord .....


This is what I found when searching
Job 33:12 ¶ Behold, [in] this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.

Job 33:13 Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.

Job 33:14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, [yet man] perceiveth it not.

Job 33:15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;

Job 33:16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,

Job 33:17 That he may withdraw man [from his] purpose, and hide pride from man.

Job 33:18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

Job 33:19 ¶ He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong [pain]:

Job 33:20 So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.

Job 33:21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones [that] were not seen stick out.

Job 33:22 Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.

It is basically to teach you spiritual things because we are so not spiritual are we ? Its also because we dont have time to listen when we are awake (we go about our everyday human life ) ....we dont want to listen (we talk to much and dont listen enough LOL I do for sure) .....so in dreams and visions is sometimes the only way that God can even get you to hear him and listen to what he is trying to tell us ....

Believe me I know ..I am a big time dreamer ...And many of them have come true ..>And I have been shown things in dreams that no one could have taught me ....once I even dreamed about a scroll (a calendar actually ) that was in hebrew ..I have never even seen Hebrew and I didnt even know their calendars are different than ours .... yet I could read it and understand in my dream ..there was also something about a Jewish Holiday (Day of Atonement) .which I had never heard about (I did not do any digging into much of the OT at that time ) ....And I was told somethings about it ...I did look it all up after this dream though ..and I was blown away by that dream and how God showed me stuff I didnt actually read about or know about before that dream ................
