Someone married their sister?!
It doesn't take long to discover that it is not a question of who Cain married, but the fact that someone must have married their sister (as all living decended from Adam and Eve). This topic also relates directing to the origin of the races. Please feel free to share your ideas whatever they might be relative to this topic.

Someone Married Their Sister!
If one uses the Bible to determine what is or isn't true, someone did marry their sister. Genesis 3:20 says that Eve would become the mother of all the living. The Bible does not condemn marrying a close relative until Leviticus, chapter 18. This is approximately 2,555 years after the creation. When God finished the creation He said it was "very good". The Hebrew here says literally "exceedingly good". Man was initially designed to live eternally in the physical body. When sin entered, Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden, cherubim (angels) were stationed and a flaming sword to guard the way to the tree of life lest they eat thereof and live forever (Genesis 3:22-24). Once sin entered the world the Second Law of Thermodynamic was established which opened the door for genetic mutations (result of radiation, chemicles, ancestral pool). After the Flood of Genesis, chapters 6-9, this buildup of damaged genes greatly increased as the protective canopy of Genesis 1:6-8 was no longer in place. This eventually resulted in God establishing laws relative to what we refer to as incest. Sooooooooo, initially someone did marry their sister. However, this was not against God's laws and was not a problem genetically. 

agree with them
I beleive that God is just flexible enough to give us his word, so that we can develop a personal relationship with him. Of course with our human minds, we will never be able to fully understand what the exact truth is. Therefore, Father gives us the freedom through Jesus Christ to become like him. This comes with a little bit of power as well. What God and Jesus beleived was the truth. Therefore, as adopted sons of God, what we beleive may be the truth. We just need to stop arguing with each other and ourselves and forbear one another in love. Gird your sword, thus saith the Lord.
In Christ
