ACCORDING to the HOLY BIBLE, CAIN DID NOT MARRY HIS SISTER

I think the entire basis for my opponents claim comes from a stupid definition of a city.1- Wikipedia says that a city can have as few as 1,500 people. The article also says this definition is only common and not exclusive.2- Merriam Webster says that a city needs only have greater importance or population than a town or village. Being the first recorded living place built by man in the Bible, that sounds kinda important.3- Dictionary.com says the same thing as the Merriam Webster, and it also says the word City can be used to refer to the center of some region.https://en.wikipedia.org...https://www.merriam-webster.com...http://www.dictionary.com...Regardless, these are modern american definitions of a word written in a different language 6,000 years ago. Why should we assume that they follow the same rules of definition? There are plenty of customs and words that simply don't carry the same meaning as the original texts of the Bible. Take for example love, which has at least four greek words in the Bible, all of which are translated into one word, love. The Hebrew word here, (transliterated ofc) ir (or iyr) is not necessarily bound to one translation. Your treatment of this word clearly shows you do not have much experience in language translation.His wife is mentioned, which necessitates both a marriage and a wedding ceremony, actually.We don't know what the history of the wedding ceremony is, or at what point in history this occured. You're assuming our american customs have always been the same throughout the entire world, which is simply untrue. We see many cultures with different marriage traditions all over the place. A wedding is by no means required for marriage, even today.Because he had a wife, and because he was married. Marriage necessitates a wedding ceremony, as you know.Show me where, in the Bible, it said that Cain had a wedding. It's not in there. We have no reason to believe tradition has always been the same, especially in the first one hundred years of existence.It states that he met his wife after he left Eden.Incorrect. All the Bible says is that they had sex after he left Eden. There's no reason to assume, based on the text, that Cain hadn't been married before this event.No -- Cain's wife is not even mentioned until after he left Eden. You made up the above statement, and it does not appear anywhere in the scripture. As much as you may want them to be, your words are not scripture.It says he had sex with his wife after he left Eden. It makes no mention of a marriage, wedding, or relationship after Eden. The idea that he had a wife to have sex with was just assumed in the text." We don't know when Cain killed Abel, or if either of them were married."If you actually don't know those things, then you are unqualified to speak on the subject of when Cain was married.Please show me where in the Bible it tells us when Cain killed Abel specifically. We just know it was before Seth. Therefore, you know just as much as I do, and are just as unqualified. Please now quit the debate since you take the position of being unqualified for it.I meant that Enoch's descendants did not build the city...In fact, Cain's "descendants" did not help build that city, but I will let you have that point nonetheless.How do we know that Enoch's descendants did not build the city? The Bible records that Enoch had his descendants, and yes this recording does occur after it is recorded that the city was built, but this does not tell us when Enoch had the children. It could have been at any point in his life. We only know he had them. Regardless, why is it relevant who helped build the city?Adam and Eve never went to Nod, and neither did anyone from Nod ever travel to Eden. Therefore they never met.Please show me where this is said in the Bible. If it is not said in the Bible, please show me your (auto)biography of Adam's life accounting for every day of the 930 years he lived. If you cannot, you have no reason to assume this.That's because Adam was in Eden, not in the Land of Nod.The Bible says that Nod was East of Eden. People are capable of walking. When was the last time you saw God make a special creation so that someone didn't have to do a bit of hiking? When I look at the life of Joseph and Mary, I actually think God was quite fond of having people walk places based upon their lives.That is patently untrue: For one thing, Eve was not Adam's mother, although Adam was clearly a man. Therefore she could not possibly have been the mother of "all men."I would presume that this is disregarding Adam implicitely...But the Bible said it, not me. So don't take this up with me.Adam and Eve had no female seed until after Cain had already left Eden. In fact, it is doubtful as to whether Adam and Eve ever even had any daughter.How do you know they had no female seed until after Cain left? I can make baseless claimes with no proof too. The Bible, as well as historical legend, both say that Adam had children both male and female."Cain and Abel are not necessarily the first children,"Yes they are.Prove it..." nor are they necessarily the only ones who lived before Seth."Yes they are.Prove it...That is debatable: The way that verse is worded, it could have been referring to Seth having had daughters, not Adam, because both Seth and Adam are mentioned in that verse, but the person who had daughters is referred to as "he," not specifically as Adam.The Hebrew leaves no room for misinterpretation. This is clearly talking about Adam.The subject (Adam) remains constant in this entire passage.http://biblehub.com...In any case, Adam and Eve clearly had no female seed (neither daughters nor grand-gdaughters) prior to Cain's banishment. Therefore, Cain's wife could not possibly have been his own sister.How is this clear? Prove it..." Is it illogical to think that within the 130 years Adam was alive before Seth that he did not have more children"If you claim that he did, then you are just making it up: Your words are not scripture.True, my words aren't scripture. But Scripture doesn't speak on the topic so the possibility is open."This is plenty of time to have more children before Seth is born!"The Holy Bible does not say that he did, though -- YOU are the only one who says that, but your words are not scriptureThe Bible also doesn't say he didn't. So for me to say it's a possibility is perfectly in line with Scripture.the Holy Bible clearly states the fact that Cain's wife was native to the Land of Nod. Actually the Bible says that Cain had sex with his wife in Nod. Nothing else is said about her or her origins.Thank you for trying, but sadly for you, the actual scripture contradicts you on every point that you tried to make.Not really. You've used secular dictionaries, modern traditions, and arguments of silence to refer to my points. Notice how Scripture was never used or quoted by yourself during this round to debate me. You're not debating from the perspective of the Bible, but simply the perspective of what you want.My opponents reply, and consistent circular reasoning, has made me realize the nature of his intentions. He either has no interest in questioning his own position or is simply a troll. I find this to be unfortunate, as there is indeed room for serious discussion of the subject. Despite this, I look forward to my opponents response.
