Scipture says that after Cain killed Able he was sent to wonder through the nations......?

I think these were probably descendents of Adam and Eve. That means when Cain married that women it was probably his sister. I don't know how it works but I guess we just have to trust in God. (you know who knows how old cain and able were when cain killed him, maybe plenty of time for Adam and Eve to have more kids; also people back then tended to marry very fast so there were marriages and children poppin all over the place!) Hope I made a little sense! God Bless

The answer by Temp19 was going well but stumbled.  Please allow me to add to it.  Cain married a sister most likely, but definitely a member of his own family. Once Adam and Eve sinned, they "began to die."  The people who were supposed to live forever now were subject to aging, disease etc.  After many generations this sinfulness deteriorated the bodies to the point that God commanded Moses to instruct family members NOT to marry.  The two creations are not inconsistent with one another.  There is a story of creation of the world (macro version if you will) and the focus of the creation of Adam and Eve (micro version if you will allow).  Hope this helps.

Why couldn't Cain please God?\n\nHe just wasn't Abel.

I will answer your question based on my religious belief.  I have not read the whole Bible but I am familiar with a story told by Jesus Christ.  Luckily, as I write my answer, I opened the Bible and found the story of "the rich man and Lazarus."  If you have a Bible, look up Luke 16:19-31.  The rich man (dead) actually requested Abraham to send the spirit of Lazarus (also dead) to warn his 5 brothers, who were still alive so that the brothers will not end up where he (the rich man) is---at the place of torment.  But Abraham denied the request knowing that even the spirit of a dead man will not convince the 5 brothers to change. In other words, there is not even a slight chance for the 5 brothers to change. With this story in mind, it might actually be the spirit of your departed father watching over you and your family.  God might have allowed for you to feel the presence of your father's spirit so that you may believe that there is "life after death." God allowed it because there is --- a good chance--- that you will believe. If the idea that the spirit of your departed father is watching over your family came into your mind, then you are starting to believe in "life after death". I saw one of your answers, about believing what you cannot see. You cannot see the spirit of your father but you somehow believe it. To everything there is a reason.  Hopefully, the story told by Jesus Christ will open your heart and convince you the truth in the Bible. Just realize how many nations and peoples believe in it.

I've asked that question before and christians kept telling me that his wife was his sister.That's kind of hard to believe because his wife was way east of eden.Cain met her after he was banished from the lord's presence.why was she  out of the lord's presence?Some think that God made other people after or before Adam and eve,but acts 17:26 says from one man every nation will inhabit the whole earth.That throws that idea out the window.\n\nYou're not evil for questioning the bible.God gave you a logical thinking mind.Your parents raised you with their religion.As an adult,you have a right to question things in the bible that makes no sense.I did.Now I am free from society and my family's beleief system.\n\n\nRead The Four Agreements By Don Miguel Luiz and Manifest your destany by  Wayne Dyer

Absolutely! The bible says that “God created the heavens and the earth” and that he did this in 7 days. As I understand it, the original text really said something more like “7 periods of time”. Even if you take the literal 7 days, just how long is a day for God?\nIt also does not say how. \n\nAs I read the story of creation, I soon realize that when God created man, he created mankind not just a single man. This is illustrated when Cain killed Able and was sent away. He said that the others would recognize him. If you were to read the story literally, then there would be no others. There was Adam, Eve, Cain and Able. Cain was killed.\n\nI have always interpreted “God created man in his image” to mean that there were already people on earth, however God gave man a soul. First man then women. Before that men were more like animals. \n\nThe bible does not spell out much about creation; it just simply states it happened. It does not really define how or over what period of time. Who is to say that God did not create man by evolving primates? Isn’t that really the whole basis of the new “Intelligent Design” theory? The why of course is not spelled out either. Maybe so that there would be the debate…\n\nI’m going to leave my religious believes out of this discussion, they are not important to this discussion. Just suffice it to say, don’t jump to conclusions about my believe system based on the answer above.

May be a plan, not sure. I actually believe Adam & Eve were God's first man/woman creation. They lived in Eden. Then God created more people in other areas outside of Eden. So, the Sons most likely found other women outside the Garden. But, that what I think, many other ideas on this.\nDang it Mainworry again. :-p Not seen you in a while; God Bless!

I have been reading about that as of late and find it interesting.  plausible. The bible has seen a lot gone through a lot in that i mean translations.  It also stands that some books were purposely left out.  With that in mind I don't feel it proves with out a shadow of a doubt that its true.  However it does leave enough room for the thought and probability.

It is possible. He talks certainly for some other world as He means His Father's world -i guess- which could be His base somewhere in Space. He is in same time God and Human and finaly he dies for the salvation of the Human been which is a creation of his Father which is the absolute God. Yes, this could be read like the Father is the Alien who creates the human -for a reason that only this Alien-Father knows- and as he sees His creation becomming a piece of shit He send His Son -from his planet- to save the perverted creation giving an horrible end in His life on earth. Then -after death- He goes back to his planet lettting people think about His sacrifice... It could be like this, i dont know, i wasnt there... i think only God and Jesus knows the truth....

Hello BibleGuy the answer is simple. It is clearly writen. Gen 5:1-2, Gen 1:26-28.  Cain wife was from Adam, not His father, she was not His sister, Adam was the name of those God created in the Begining and called their name Adam, this is not talking about Adam & Eve who where in the Garden. Adam was the Name of those God created and 1 of Them He chose and Place in the Garden, thus showing His way even from the Begining chosing from Mankind (Adam) to guide and lead the others in the way.  Adam was not just One person but many. Not just One color.  If you like to know more contack me at PastorDoulos@yahoo.com

After Cain killed Abel, he left.  He wandered to Nod, a land in the East and married a woman from among the people there (Gen 4:16).  Yes, I know it's an internal inconsistancy, but if the story is meant to be taken as a parable then it doesn't matter.  God created people, but people were already there, so perhaps it the whole Adam-from-mud-and-Eve-from-the-rib bit isn't literally true.  I know some people disagree, but I believe God had a plan and created people through evolution.  Science and religion don't have to be at odds.

I watched the special on National Geographic. Have they made the text available to read anywhere?\n\nBased on the information that was given on the National Geographic premiere...I firmly believe that Jesus chose Judas to sacrifice him. Someone had to do it and he wanted Judas to be the one. The thing that gets me is that when Jesus tells Judas that he will be known as deceitful person for many, many years but in the END, the truth will be known. Wow, that means we know now....does that mean that we are really close to the end?\n\nI would love to look at it more in depth when they release it; if you know anywhere it has been published, please let me know.

Nobody knows what God is thinking, or why He did certain stuff, or what His intentions are. I doubt anybody can get inside His head (not literally) and fathom His unfathomable reasons for everything.\n\nHowever, it does not hurt to speculate, just to make a little sense out of everything. Maybe God wanted the Devil around so that Man can realize how horrible the Devil's Way is and how wonderful it is to live in the love of God. You can't realize what light is unless you know what darkness is. Like, in the Garden of Eden, everything Adam and Eve needed was given to them. They experienced God's love, but they took it forgranted when they disobeyed God. So, God sent them out of the Garden, probably to make them realize that they were wrong and that they needed God and His Grace and His Love.\n\nWhat do you think?

It's hard to say. Many times when you take things like that out of context, they can lose a lot of their meaning. However, it seems to me that he was saying that he would send prophets to us to help show us the way.

‘At the beginning of time, God was discussing the creation of the world with the Angel Gabriel. Leaning back in His golden throne, He told him of His plans for Scotland. \n“Gabriel,” said God “I am going to give Scotland towering mountains and magnificent glens resplendent with purple heather. Red deer will roam the countryside, golden eagles will circle in the skies, salmon will leap in the crystal clear rivers and lochs, and the surrounding areas will teem with fish. Agriculture will flourish and there will be a glorious coming together of water with barley to be known as whisky. Coal, oil and gas – all will be there. The Scots will be intelligent, innovative, industrious and …”\n\n“Wait a minute!” interrupted Gabriel. “Are you not being just a wee bit too generous to these Scots?”\n\nBut the Almighty replied, “Not really. I haven’t told you who their neighbours are going to be!”’

Thank you for the article- it had some interesting insights!\n\nI have long thought that there was something odd in the part of Genesis 2:1 and the phrasing Genesis 1 used. I've been looking for things that explained it and your article did just that.\n\nIt simply makes no sense that the God who sent His people to the wilderness for 40 years would have (or needed to) rush the planet in 6 days, then fake various items to make it seem much older. He does not work that way at any other time, so why then?\n\nI have said for years that when the Bible and science or reality conflict, our understanding of one or the other is flawed- and I think we've really messed up our understanding of the Bible!

Does this mean that the first man in the holy book was the bastard son of a goddess? Who got her pregnant. I like this story. Was it one of the other Gods?
