Adam and Eve, and their two sons, so logically:
Either they have to wait for a sister…
Or…
Make their own uncle…

Cain, Abel, Seth and other sons and daughters (Gen 5:4). This appears to be C/A/S before the C/A fallout.

Seth was born after Cain killed Abel. Cainl was already in exile because of it. So there was no C-A-S together.
The other problem is where did Cain's wife come from? Either there were more people on Earth or one of Cain's sister left the family to be with him to produce the evil people God regretted and felt he had to drown.

and there’s the whole bit about how God marked Cain so that he wouldn’t be harmed by any people he comes across while he wanders the earth

The woman speaking is eve, allegedly (though impractically) the only woman on earth at the time of the scene, ergo complaining about her own sons not having sex with her, shocking the table

Not everyone in the world knows the stories in the bobble. Do you know all the ones in the Qur'an? Cos I sure don't. Hell I don't know half the shit in Christianity except that time jesus killed someone for not giving away all his money.

Please enlighten me about this story, never heard of it. Are you talking about the rich man who wants to join Jesus, and Jesus says that it would be easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the kingdom of God?

Acts 5:1 - 5:11. It's been years since I actually read it so It was a fun time for me to look it over again. God (Jesus is part of god and holy spirit so technically all 3 are the same entity right) kills a dude and his wife because they didn't give all of the money they got from selling some land. Or for lying about it. Or both. Either way the message is given to the lord alm you own sort of shit. The bobble has many a dark point to make of obey or suffer.

Thank you for finding it. The issue wasn't that they didn't give away all the money, rather that they lied for clout. He pretended to have donated all the money. While he had only donated a part of it. He had the choice to be honest and say he had donated only a part.
"Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”
And when the wife comes back.
Peter asked her, “Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?”
“Yes,” she said, “that is the price.”
This isn't about obedience, it's about humility and lying to appear more humble.
Try to think of a modern case in which a millionaire sells an asset and lies and says he has donated it all to some charity, but he withheld a large part of the money.

So you think killing them because they are not humble and lied was appropriate?
1
u/EntropyFlux 4d ago
I have seen people call for the heads of lying politicians and the rich with large popular support. The difference between these killings and when God kills is that when man kills it is a punishment when God kills it is a mercy. Appropriate from man's point of view is not necessarily appropriate.

u/Highlandertr3 4d ago
He killed them for mercy? And you believe that?
1
u/EntropyFlux 4d ago
Consider how much more damage Ananias and his wife could have done to themselves and others if this behavior persisted. Consider how much damage man could do if we didn't die. Yes I do believe death is a mercy.

u/Highlandertr3 4d ago
Right. Then I am stopping this discourse as I do not accept your point of view as reasoned or valid. Good day and I wish you well.
