For Sure Michael;
When the Garden of Eden Had People in it, there were only Adam and Eve.
The Sons were Born after they Were "Kicked Out" of the Garden. And there is no telling how much time or children Eve had had before Cain had Killed Able.
I don't know, but Cain and Abel must have been still young enough for their FIRST offering to God. But maybe not. Still, I believe Eve could have had some daughters that she doesn't seem to mention in the Bible. She does mention that her next boy child was named Seth, to take Abel's place.
After all, Cain and Able could be considered Patriarchs. Patriarchs Lived Hundreds of Years, according to the Bible. People Could have Spread into the "Land of Nod", which I Believe Eventually became Canaan. Although, I'm not totally sure, I just assumed that Canaan Was Named after Cain, after he Moved to the Land of Nod. This is All just me Assuming about the Naming of the Land, However. I only like to Stick to what is Actually revealed by the Bible.
I do understand exactly what you are saying and you are being very clear about it. I guess Canaan was named after Cain. Never really thought about that b4. Very astute of you, Mark!
It does Reveal that there is a Heaven Teaming With Life. Angels and Hosts that are Aware they are Alive.
Life on Other Planets is Obviously Revealed, when considering the Biblical Work.
=M=
I also believe you when you say that Heaven is Teaming with Life. ANGELS and HOSTS that are Aware they are Alive. I think though that the Angels do not need to travel around in a UFO. I saw one, along with 2 friends, and also 2 people standing out of their truck and watching it as we sped by them. And we started chasing towards the UFO, thinking that angels were flying it maybe, and the UFO took off in an instant like nearly the speed of light. I mean Whoa!!! It was there and then a pinpoint and no light at all. But I don't believe in extraterrestrials or aliens. The Lord told me He allows it to Satan to lure men away from Him as a trick just like when the Greeks and Romans saw UFOs (flying chariots, their mode of transportation) and they started believing in other gods, like Zeus, Aphrodite, Medusa, Perseus, Mercury, etc. So instead of believing in the One True God, they served these other 'beings,' made up from the devil. God has to give some leeway to Satan too, so he has a chance in heck to deceive people. You'll notice now that there are people who believe in aliens and think they came to Earth long ago and perhaps co-mingled with humans or are descended from aliens themselves, and helped make the pyramids, Stonehenge, etc. The angels or the Lord God do not need to ride in a flying saucer to reveal themselves to us. The Lord did reveal to us Himself when He came with two other angels to Abraham before His Father destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. He didn't need to come with wings, etc. Angels and the Lord can take on any appearance that God wishes. Yes, I am aware of the strange appearance of something that Ezekiel had to deal with in his day. So, I guess I am a YEC (young earth creationist) now??
Oh, Mark, I'm sorry I get to going on for so long. This is lengthy, so I'll close for now. You know how cool I think you are.
May God Be With You In Your Present And Future Life,
Michael
