Discuss Genesis 4 Page 19

On the sixth day God created them male and female of all races Kane was banished from his family who only had two sons Kane killed Able and went to the land of nod and found a wife their were no sisters to Kane or daughters born to Adam and Eve until Kane was gone pray for understanding when you read

God did not create the races on the sixth day, He created the one race of man; that is the human race. The human race consisted of two people Adam and Eve. Cain may have been around 100 years of age. He had to have married someone who was close kin, there were no other people to marry. He was not driven from his wife, they became one.

Kane was banished from his family so it couldn't be a sister but on sixth day God created all races and created them male and fale this is how Kane found a wife

Start reading Genesis from the start. It will tell you of the two creations, Man and Woman first ,then Adam and Eve. What GOD doesn't condone later he wouldn't condone in the beginning.

Thanks Joninice I guess my Sunday school teacher didn't want to get into brother marrying sisters with a bunch of pre teen kids. I hadn't thought of Cains wife in years. Your answer makes it clear. And Brianca question made me go back and re read Genesis. I really enjoyed it. Thanks Brianca for asking. Asking questions shows you are striving to learn all you can about the Lord.

Who was Cain's wife? The only possible answer is a sister. Adam and Able were the only other men that God gives us record of in the Bible. There is no record of Able leaving any children or even having a wife so Cain took a sister as a wife. Some people teach there were other people created but we have no record of this in the Bible. God created Adam and Eve, they had children. Gen. 5:4

to Brianca About Genesis 4 I asked the same question ,who was Cains wife . at Sunday achool once and was told pretty much sit down and don't ask that question , Hope someone here can enlighten us.

I'm inquiring about who Cain's wife could have been if his parents were the first Man And woman. I'm confused.

If Cain was offering himself to God, God could not accept him because he was Satan's son. Jesus could never be our savior being born from this ancestry. Able was Adam's son through which the SON OF GOD could be born. HE was born through Seth. Esau gave up his birthright and Jesus was born through Jacob's family.

read this

Gen 4:26 Confused by the translation....."call upon the name of the LORD." or profaned "the name of the LORD."

I understand the state of evil. And the brothers Cain commiting murder of his own brother because of his own "evilness". But we become hardened against Gods words sometimes and we continue to make mistakes in our life never asking for Gods forgiveness. But there it is a curse or a blessing. You are wither with him or against him. No inbetween. Make up your mind. Whom do you serve.?

Cain offering was of plants from the earth. Abel's offering was a living sacrifice, shedding the blood of the lamb that contained the life of that lamb. God is pleased with a living sacrifice. Romans 8:9 12 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.

We should offer to God sacrifice that is pleasant to him

S. Dodd, look up "offering" and "sacrifice" in the Mirriam Webster dictionary; they appear to mean the same thing. First the act of sacrifice, it is an offering.

In our Bible study on Gen 4:4.The majority of the class say "offering" is the same as "sacrifice".We say that Abel had to kill the lamb as a sacrifice,.. burn the fat thereof as an offering unto the Lord. She says it was an "offering"..." Such as a child 'offers' a cookie to a friend"..she says that there is no "scriptural" proof that it was a "sacrifice" by Abel. Can u explain the difference? TY

This was about the birth of two brothers who gave offering until the lord. Abel was accepted and Cain was not. God gave Cain a chance to prove himself but decided to kill his brother and therefore was cursed from the face of the earth and had to live his life as a fugitive.

Do notice that in Gen 4:3 it says in the process of time "it came to pass", and in Gen 4:8 again you see the word "it came to pass", It was not mentioned how long however we do know that crops or sheeps don't grow in a day, thus Adam and Eve had more children which probably became Cain's wife.

Only at the reception of the Law of Moses, was incest forbidden.

Abraham was married to his 1/2 sister Sarah, yet we see in the Law of Moses that was forbidden.

Since the Law was not given until Moses, Abraham was not in sin in that type of union, but after that prohibition was given, then it is sinful. Even today though we are no longer under the Law, incest is still prohibited See 1 Cor.

The earth was full of people from the 6th day man who fished and were hunters. Just because there was a garden with a family that the blood line would come through do you really believe that God wouldn't populate the rest of the earth even after you read that he did in chapter one.

Cara keep reading scriptures your doing great

Cara,Where in Genesis does God talk about incest? It does not say there were other people outside the garden until Cain left and settled in Nod.
Consider that Noah and his family 8 total repopulated the earth after the flood, all other humans were killed.

I read it.. as God created men and women on earth, blessed them and told them to multiply and THEN made Adam and then Eve specifically for the Garden of Eden. Cain says himself that, "that EVERYONE that findeth me shall slay me"...as he left to live in Nod, east of Eden, so logic tells me he met his wife there and incest was never a part of Gods creation?

In verse 17 where did Cains wife come from?

I Timothy l:4 Paul writes not to be concerned about needless questions and endless geneologies which only bring strife. The main purpose is to edify and build the body of Christ, His Church. All other questions and ideas that do not build are a waste of time and effort!

Very interesting!

I think Cain let his anger get the best of him.God gave him the same opportunity
that his brother had .He wanted to do it
His way instead of God's way.

Gina, Genesis 4:16-17; It does not say that Cain found his wife after he was exiled. He took his wife with him. His wife was also his sister. There was no other people that existed at the time besides Adam, Eve, Cain, and Abel and Adams many other children.

As there were no written matterials to teach about offerings on those days, i believe God created man and put im him the spirit of giving as demonstrated by cain and Abel in verses 3 4. God sees the heart of man in sacrifices and offerings. How we relate to Him and where we heve placed Him in our lives.

GOD inspired the scriptures only, not all HE did and does. we only have generation of Adom and Eve written.the only question thats important to know the TRUTH about is that GOD does know all things and we dont, its above us.HE made all the people HE wanted to make and inspired writing of what HE gave us so far.let us be thankful and joy does come.
