In the days of Adam and Eve man supposedly lived for hundreds of years.  Man was, at first, only two people, Adam and Eve. The couple's first three children were Cain, Abel and Seth: "After he begot Seth, the days of Adam were eight hundred years; and he had sons and daughters." (Genesis 5:4) Having had some 33 sons and 21 daughters.

 

Therefore Cain married either a sister or a neice.  It wasn't untill after the flood that God commanded, "that near-relative marriages should not occur (Leviticus 18:6).

 

The debate over who became the wife of manโ€™s first two children has gone on for centuries. The short answer is that the brothers had to marry their sisters. 


where did you get the 33 sons and 21 daughters?

Definitely take it with a grain of salt, then, as the majority of biblical scholars all agree now that most of Josephus' writings are forgeries!

So who knows what is factual, and what is pure conjecture?

Best to disregard the whole thing, until there's insurmountable proof.

Re: do you believe

I guess it is a hard one because part of some's belief is that they save the world

They are really no different than the door knockers for money, selling avon, etc etc. Just a different product.

 

There should be a NO JUNK MAIL sticker for door knockers.

My tactic is to tell them to "put their money where their mouth is", go up and down the street, find an old pensioner or two, mow their grass for them, then come back here and I will listen to their spiel.

 

Works every time.  They are humiliated into silence and I see their backs immediately.

I'm confused, would it be ok if whoever you are whinging about turned up at your door with automatic weapons?
