The other children of Adam and Eve

In reference to the first comment for the previous post, Brotherly Hate, Genesis 5:1-5 demonstrates plainly God’s strategy in telling us about the children of Adam and Eve.

“After he begot Seth, the days of Adam were eight hundred years; and he had sons and daughters.” (Gen 5:4)

I’m sure that Adam and Eve had plenty of children and grandchildren over the course of Adam’s very long life. Adam may have even had other wives. Of course, even after pointing out that they had sons and daughters, the Bible continues on to focus only on Seth.

We don’t need to know everything; God tells us all we need to know. The real issue isn’t what we know or don’t know, but whether or not we trust Him.
