Ask a Minister

~ A place to find answers to gnawing spiritual questions ~

Question: I have a few questions for you. I am a Christian but when I was talking to a non-Christian he asked me a few questions and I was speechless. I also watched a movie that got me thinking. If God created Adam and Eve, and they had Cain and Abel, well then one of them got married right? Then where did this other lady come from?

Answer: Adam and Eve had other children besides Cain and Abel. The Bible tells us this in Genesis 5: 4,5. Genesis 3:20 tells us that Eve was the mother of all living. Therefore, Cain's wife had to be his sister. God allowed this for the earth to populate.
