Diego1618: These twins had different fathers.....paternal twins, a somewhat common occurrence among prostitutes
Boy, you are really stretching this one...Gen 4:1-2 is couldn't be clearer, yet you find fault with it. Amazing.
As [Genesis 4:1-2] clearly states: And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. The Hebrew word "Yacaph" can mean "to continue to do a thing....conceive again". Post #2234 makes that very clear.
Adam had sex with Eve. She conceived. She bore Cain and she again (yacaph) bare his brother Abel. If she was already pregnant with Cain.....then this verse makes perfect sense. Paternal twins!
It had already been suggested in scripture earlier that she was pregnant from Satan: [Genesis 3:13-16] And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled (Paul says seduced in 2 Corinthians 11:2-3]) me, and I did eat. And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
To believe that we're just talking here about eating an apple is more of a stretch!
Tell me why Cain is not listed in the genealogy of Adam and we'll see if you can stretch that one too.
