gen 5:4 AFTER seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters
so genesis 4 tells us adam and eve were on thier 3rd child with seth so where were the sisters cain and his line married when they wernt born until after seth and the bible says cains line was already 5 generations old by now
cains wife and his decendants wives couldnt have been the daughters of adam and eve as they hadnt been born yet
its chronological so to say they were adams daughters is disputing or massivley reinterpreting and rearranging the bible, not what the bible tells us

God never forbid it until Moses led the Hebrews from Egypt. (Exodus) When he Gave Moses the commandments. You have to remember, the book of Genesis was written by Moses and covered approximately 2000 years. God needed interbreeding to populate the Earth, once that was complete He then told man to not do it anymore.
Plus genealogist scientists say that with a perfect gene pool free of deformities and genetic disorders there would have been no problem interbreeding.
Look at the scripture and see that it wasn't until Moses led the people out of Egypt that God forbid it.

Even if I acept this, which I find hard to do, what about the other points: how did the gene pool become so corrupt that it required the banning of incest if it had previously been ok?
At what point in the timeline did Cain and Abel 'begat' offspring?
Sorry but I am seriously confused, (yet again, lol).
Am I being asked to take assumptions seriously now as well as both metaphoric and literal interpretations?

I think there has to be another explanation .
No way can I believe that incest was involved.Its just wrong ..and it does not sound like something a Holy Rightous God would allow .it actually sickens me with the thought .
I cant imagine God allowing that and then turn around after a few generations and say ok enough .
There has to be more to this .That we are missing.

We just are not seeing the whole picture .
There has to be more to the story than what we are thinking.
PS and I have no need to learn to pray to Jesus
I speak to him one on one .He wants my prayers comeing from my own heart in my own words.
