Why is there no genealogy of Cain?
Does man have ALL authority in the same way it says about Jesus? p.2
What did Jesus mean by “Today you will be with Me in Paradise”
What does it mean for the church to be lukewarm in Revelation 3
Born of Water and Spirit are two different things
Who do Christians believe Cain married? What senoritas were around back then?
His sisters
I have a few friends who think it’s ‘cool’ to go around saying there is no God.
Can you give me a good rebutal to this?
What is the Christian source of this?

BTW, many of the 'questions' the apologist posted in that lengthy essay were addressed in an essay just a few posts before he posted that supposed 'brilliant' refutation of the Trinity.
‘We’ll find out’

Very good Christian apologetics site.
BTTT
Logically,either a sister or niece. Recall that Abraham married half sister. Adam lived 930 years. Good chance he and Eve had more than a few children.
Just curious. Thanks.
Jews know they were both born with twin sisters (Cain and Abel) and married them. Our sources are the “Midrash” a series of commentary written by the Rabbis of the 1st and 2nd Temple period, consisting of the oral teachings and their own exegesis (divinely inspired.) And also the Talmud, where these Midrash books are further dissected and elucidated.
I have also heard theories that Cain and Abel may have been twins. All of this is speculation and/or interpretation.
For unbelievers, the thought that Cain was able to marry indicates that to them that Genesis is self contradicting.
Many years ago (Maybe 35 or 40) the old Uncle Remus with Bro Rabbit & Bro Bear were discussing such:
“It’s much more important to know were we is going, than to know where we is come from.”
Back in the mid to late 50’s I and another young co-worker were discussing whether man would ever get on the moon.
Then we asked another fellow more mature worker what he though; He answered:
“Whether they do are not will not effect my destiny!”
My friend, I don't know you, and I don't know them. If God hasn't given you an answer for them, how can I. My words out of your mouth will tip them off. But if God has given you the grace not to retort, and you just keep quiet, they are likely to think you are wiser than they are, eh?
Then my line of reasoning goes along like this at times.
Chance can not create. Chance is another name to replace God the Creator when we declare no God. We are not randomly made beings. We have a design with purpose.
No two fingerprints are alike but chance the designer created them? No two people are alike but chance created them? A trillion cells for a trillion successive chance steps? Do you have any idea for the chances of chance to create? No chance.
I hope this can help your line of reasoning when engaging.
thank you
