The Bible sure has a few zingers.
Cain and Abel were sent off to be fruitful and multiply.
With WHO?
Weren't Adam and Eve the first two humans? They had two boys, right?
Who are Cain and Abel supposed to pair up with?
I read part of the Bible but it was not an easy read for me.

They lived long and fertile lives. Adam and Eve most likely had daughters and sons, grandchildren etc. for many decades. Cain took a wife from one of them.

I sure don't know enough about religion and the Bible but what you just wrote sure smacks of incest, man.
Maybe I have it wrong but I see the Bible not necessarily a historical account of the time but a collection of stories designed to shape morality and behavior. I would not look at the Bible as 100% literal.

If you read several versions Chapter 1 indicates god created humans.
Chapter 2 specifically states the he created Adam to care for the garden of Eden. ( My thinking is he was the only sinless human at that time)
When Cain was driven out there were already "other sinful people in the world".
I agree you need to reserve some caution when reading the old testament.
Noone can explain how the early men mentioned in the bible could live to be hundreds of years old.
Many of the old testament stories are crazy to comprehend as literal facts.

That said I'm a believer.
 
On Bananas:

Ever seen wax fruit bananas from the 1950s and earlier, and noticed they were fatter and stubbier than the bananas you eat today? Well, those early bananas were a different variety, called "The Big Mike". Big Mike's were brought down by a disease, and by the late 50s / early 60s, growers had switched to the Cavendish, a smaller and longer banana that was resistant to the disease and have continued to this day. You can still find a Big Mike at boutique stores, but they are expensive.

The song "Yes, We Have No Bananas" was related to the decline of Big Mike as growers switched over to the Cavendish.

Now you know.
 
The Old Testament was never written in the modern English language, therefore was translated -- many times -- from numerous languages over the millennia until "a" version was translated to English. This could possibly be Hebrew, Greek, or some other language. There is great propensity for lost intent in translations. I found an ancient text translated to English that dates back 6000 years and parallels the Judea-Christian Old Testament. It has chapters that explain what the Old Testament covers in a verse or 2. In my opinion it makes way more sense of Old Testament stories than the Old Testament itself. It is called The Sumerian Tablets in its original form, and "The Lost Book of Enki in its English translation.

I was once an ordained priest, did missionary work, did temple work, but frankly haven't gone to church in over 20 years -- sans visiting a friend in Arkansas and appeasing him by going to his church. I discovered that most of modern Christianity should really be called Paulinism, after the aledged "Apostle" Paul (formerly Saul). 13 chapters of the Christian New Testament are attributed to Paul, or his devout followers. Current Christian tenants follow the teachings of Paul and not Christ nor his Apostles. The vast majority of Christians celebrate their Sabbath on the 1st day of the week (Sunday), not the 7th (Saturday, Book of Acts, a "Paul" thing). I find it absolutely appalling that Christians celebrate Easter with a meal of ham! The Savior claimed he came to "fulfill" the Law, not do away with it. Thus, the Levitical dietary Laws should still apply (no pig!). Therefore, Christians are celebrating a Pagan holiday while eating "food" forbidden by God's Law!!! Curiously, "Paul's" greatest enemies were Peter (one of the 12 Apostles, and one of his Chosen) and John (another Apostle, and the brother of Jesus -- also Chosen).

Christians celebrate Easter; Ester, Estes -- the Pagan Goddess of fertility!! What are the Easter symbols?? Eggs -- a symbol of fertility, rabbits -- still a symbol of rapid reproduction, fertility. If Easter were to truly be a celebration of the resurrection of the Savior, then shouldn't it be on THAT date?? Instead it follows Pagan moon dating.

With all that venting, The Lost Book of Enki makes way more sense of the Old Testament than any preacher I've ever tried to listen to. (Am I going to be banned from the site now???)
