Every once in a while, an atheist will come up with good questions about what is written in the Bible. I should rephrase that. They can come up with good questions about the doctrine of men when it comes to the Bible. The question of how did Cain go east into the land of Nod and marry a wife if Adam was the first person here is a good one. Even most people of faith don’t have an answer because of faulty, but yet common knowledge doctrine. I will try to answer this question as best as I can in this post.
If five stones are dropped from the same height at the same time, no one can argue that the first, or second, or third, or any weren’t the first to hit the ground. Adam may have been the first person, but it doesn’t mean he was alone. I know I’m straying far away from common knowledge doctrine, but I will at the very least open you up to this possibility. The word “adam” in the Hebrew is their word for “man”, but it’s actual literal definition is “ruddy complected”, and in some instances mean “showing blood in the face”. Why would God name Adam ruddy complected? Why point out his skin color?
When Cain went east into the land of Nod and married a woman, there was a new race created called the Kenites. Most don’t think of the Kenites as descendants of Cain, but it’s true. Back in the old days, people were named for either their race or where they were from such as the Canaanites and the Midianites. The Kenites however were a nomadic tribe, hence they were their own race. The Kenites were so similar to Jews that on the Jews’ trek through the wilderness, Kenites became assimilated with the Jews and were even appointed to be scribes. From that moment on, they were with the Israelites and to this very day believe they are Jews. How could they know elsewise? If Cain’s descendants became a new race, then Cain must have married someone of a different race than the ruddy complected. They were biracial. Cain’s wife must have been of a different race.
If you look at the generations listed in Genesis from Adam to Seth, and on and on to Noah, then on and on to King David, then look at the generations listed in Matthew from King David to Jesus, there is one thing in common. They were all Jews. It says nowhere that the descendants of Adam turned skin colors as they spread around the Earth. Speaking of Noah, a great assumption made by men has kept them blind to the other races. People think that Noah took two of every animal on the ark, but that’s not what it says. It says “two of every kind”. Not only is there scientific evidence of a great flood long ago, but the legend of the flood is a worldwide one. The Chinese have the story of a great flood and ship long ago. How did they have such a legend?
Many educated Christians believe that people turned different colors in the story of the Tower of Babel, because God confused their language. That’s where the word “babble” comes from. The reason God did this was because Nimrod tried to make everyone around the world the same. If everyone was Jewish, then everyone would already be the same, right? God didn’t like what Nimrod was doing because He chose the Jewish race to be His special race. The race that would bare His Son. It says that God caused the language to differ then, not creating different races. There were different races already, which is why Nimrod tried to make them all the same.
Many of what we think of as Jews are really Kenites. They had a natural gift when it comes to interpreting the law and convincing the masses of their interpretation. Being that they were descendants of Cain, they have an evil gene. Perhaps when Jesus said “woe to thee scribes, Pharisees, hypocrites!”, he was referring to the descendants of Cain. The Kenites are on full display in the media and in our courtrooms today. Not all from those professions with Jewish names are Kenites. Let me be clear. Who knows if it’s even half? There certainly are many though, and they have taken after their father.
The reason why Adam was the only one mentioned is because that is the Jewish Bible. To the Jews, Adam was the only pertinent one. To the Jews, Eve is the mother of all living. Through them, the prophets and Jesus came to show our creation – all of our creation the light. While the Jews are God’s chosen race, all races are of God’s creation. Being that our souls are much older than our bodies, no one’s soul is Jewish, Greek, African, Mongol, Arab, or Caucasian. Having said that, God did put those souls into the bodies that He has chosen for them for a reason. Men have created their own races, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but He chose the race they’d be in for the actions of their souls long ago.

A Question I First Asked About
Sixty Years Ago.
You answered it. Somewhat.
Now. Cain’s decendents are Kenites.
Could “Kenite” be a variation of “Cain” i.e. “Cainites”??
The animals on the ark. I think maybe it has been taken too literally. First off, what is a cubit? How long is 300 cubits?
Maybe Noah took 2 of each domestic animal.
Every civilization speaks of a great flood but were all the great floods one and the same? At the same time??

“Could “Kenite” be a variation of “Cain” i.e. “Cainites”??”
Probably, since they’re very familiar sounding. In order for the Jews to take in the Kenites, even though the Kenites did help them, they had to look and be very simliar to the Jews. Most of the Kenites back then were in Midian and Canaan. As far as the pronunciation, in the Hebrew writing there probably is very little difference in the spelling. They don’t have hard “c’s” replacing the “k” sound.
As far as the animals on the ark, the only two animals specifically mentioned being on the ark is the raven and the dove. The great flood legend where there was a great ship that saved them, yes I believe that was the very same flood. There were other great floods (to a lesser degree) throughout history, according to scientists, but the one with the ship is the one written in the Bible.

Thanks. I’ve known about the story of Cain and Kenites for a while, but I didn’t write about them until I reached a conclusive end. As best as I could, I hoped I made that conclusive to those who read this.

I hope you are not saying that Father God made some people black as a punishment for what thier souls did in the first earth age. I love the Lord and I know I am part of his election and I am black. I have eyes to see and hears to hear. Please don’t tell me God doesn’t love me also. Lynda from rual Maine

No, I didn’t say that nor did I come close to saying that. Souls might be put in certain races for things they’ve done before, but I’m speaking more from a geographical perspective. Many people being in different parts of the world either have barely heard of Christ or the Holy Bible. In America, where there are a lot of races, there is a distinct advantage because Christianity and the Holy Bible are readily available. It might not be taken advantage of from a lot of people, but that’s their choice. To say that God put people’s souls into black skin to punish them would be saying black skin is to be punished and looked down upon. Those who have such a viewpoint will find no favor with God at all. If you are indeed one of the elect, then you are most welcome to my site. I hope you read the other posts and tell me what you think. I like to see where certain members of the elect are at in their learning
God bless.

God said to Cain – Go and and Roam the World you will lives forever nobody can touch you.The punishment of God to cain acsended to Jews up to now?

Where did God say to Cain that he will live forever? Are you asking if Cain fathered the Jews? I was quite clear who came from Cain. It is written in Genesis 5 that Cain’s descendants were a completely different line than the descendants of Adam to Seth. The Jews were of the line of Adam. The ones who say they are Jews but are not are of the line of Cain.
