wow. did i open up a can of worms or what??
Trukin, I did not read all the posts but God did say this in His Word....
Genesis 5:4...
And the days of Adam AFTER he had begotten Seth were eight hudred and thirty years: and he begat sons and daughters: .... So I get from this that Adam had other sons and daughters that were NEVER mentioned in the Bible.
And after the flood of Noah, at least there were now three couples to start the new EARTH POPULATION... And if you add Noah and his wife FOUR....
But the urgency of having children in the old days was MOST evident by the two daughters of Lot. Lot had two daughters, and Lot went to his two sons in law, and also told them to flee with them from Sodom. But as we know only Lot, his wife and the two daughters left the city in time. Then His wife also disobeued and she was no more.... but then the two duagters shocked me... They came together and made their father drunk, and then they BOTH thought to "preserve the seed of their father". So they went and "lie" with him and they both were with child by LOT! Moab was the one boy, and the other was Benammi.. They became big nations... Moabites and Ammon....
I hope you know how important it was that a first born boy was to carry on the "SEED OF THE FATHER". And it is also reflected in the BORN OF GOD... in our salvation.... We also has to be the SEED OF GOD! 1 John 3.
Enjoy the Word of God my friend, and I hope God REVEALS much to you.... Like Adam had MANY sons and daughters... And that the SEED of God REMAINETH in ALL who is BORN OF GOD!
