I’ve Been Answering This Question for 50 Years—and People Are Still Asking!

I recently filmed a video for our YouTube channel titled “Ever Wondered Where Cain Got His Wife? Watch This!” Within just a few days, that video had over 100,000 views. With everything going on in our world today, and all the big questions that need answering, why are people still wondering where Cain got his wife?

Where Cain got his wife matters for the truth of Genesis.

Because where Cain got his wife matters for the truth of Genesis. The Bible teaches that God created Adam and Eve and that every person is descended from them. But who did their children, namely Cain, marry? If Christians can’t answer that question (and sadly, many cannot), it calls into question the truth of Genesis, implying that God’s Word can’t really be trusted. And if the history can’t be trusted, why should we trust what the Bible teaches about salvation?

Atheists and other skeptics have used Cain’s wife to discredit the Bible for decades (even though there’s an easy answer to the question), and they continue to do so. People hear these arguments, or they read Genesis and are curious, and they want answers so they can know the Bible is trustworthy. If one reads the Bible carefully, the answer is there in plain sight (Genesis 3:20).

That’s why I encourage believers to read The New Answers Books series. These five books give over 150 answers to common questions, like this one. When believers are equipped to refute and answer the most common objections to the truth of Scripture, what a difference it makes! If you’ve never read those five volumes, I encourage you to order a set from our online bookstore or read many of the chapters for free online.

So where did Cain get his wife? Find out in my video!

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
