    If Cain and Abel are the first two sons born to Adam, then why does Adam's genealogy begin with Seth? Last I checked, a person is not blotted out of his or her genealogy for being a murderer or for being murdered.

    Actually in Genesis 4 is the account of Cain killing Abel. Cain was cursed and marked for death.

    When Seth was born, the genealogy restarted again. His was the seed that Jesus would be born through.

    All genealogy follows the bloodline of Jesus.

    Mary and Joseph were remote cousins from the bloodline of King David.

    Daughters were only included in the genealogy of the bloodline of Jesus if they were in that line.

    What does all this mean to us? God keeps record of all humans and children conceived to them. We're on His radar so-to-speak.
