Joel try reading what others are posting, your questions were already answered. BTW...do you believe the flood was world wide and killed everyone but Noah and his family?
You are right. Even IF there were other people on the earth, they would have been erradicated by the flood. Yet from Noah and his three sons, we have a variety of races today.

You guys all have to realize too that just because it gives Cain's lineage and all the kids he had does not mean he had all those kids before Seth was born and had kids or before Adam and Eve had kids...

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
The sons of God in Gen 6 are sons of SETH and the daughters of men were children of Cain.
__________________ ...MY THOUGHTS, ANYWAY.
"Many Christians do not try to understand what was written in a verse in the Bible. Instead they approach the passage to prove what they already believe."
On Noah's Ark there were living of ALL flesh and that includes all races of people.Sons of man.Gen.6:18 But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee(Sons of God).
6:19 And of every living thing of all flesh(Sons of man too), two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee;they shall be male and female.
1Peter003:020 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls(Sons of God) were saved by water.
Rom 5:12
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (KJV)
Rom 5:15
15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. (KJV)
If other men were created apart from Adam then Adams sin would have no bearing on them which would make the above scriptures inaccurate that through one man's sin all of mankind was affected.
This scripture don't prove God created only two people.
Where does scripture say that they didn't have any more children until Seth was born?
Trust me on this. I fully believe that Adam, being a typical man, 'knew' his wife quite often! It's also fact that they had many sons and daughters.
Gen 5:3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth: 4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
It doesn't say that he begat those sons and daughters AFTER Seth, but that he had many children. We know he had at least two before Seth, but they aren't mentioned as being born before Seth, but rather, they are mentioned in the 'begat sons and daughters' portion of the verse.
This scripture don't prove Adam and Eve had more children befor Cain found his wife.
Adam and Eve had numerous children; they had been told to "fill the earth" (Gen 1:28). Cain's guilt and fear over killing his brother were heavy, and he probably feared repercussions from his family. If he was capable of killing, so were they. The wife Cain chose may have been one of his sisters or a niece. The human race was still genetically pure, and there was no fear of side effects from marrying relatives.
Just b/c it doesn't mention others doesn't mean they weren't there. Gen. 4:25 And Adam knew his wife again....
'Again' doesn't mean the second time. Strong's Concordance says it means 'more' or 'a good while'. There could have been females born and just not mentioned.
Genesis 1:27 God CREATED man in his own image....
God did create (make) man and woman.....
YOUR WORDS 2:7-25 God formed Adam(formed means to take something already created and form it. This is why it says he formed Adam, it don't say he created him. So It is very clear this is two different events.)
You just contradicted yourself.
YOUR WORDS 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
2:16-17 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it.
Have you never said 'everything, except that'. Just b/c God says 'every' then tells them something they can eat of doesn't mean it's two different events.
Gen. 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature....
It did not say every creature.
Gen. 2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
It could mean no creature that was formed in Gen. 1:24 was not a suitable companion for him.
But I totally agree with gloryseeker. People start to analyze scripture too much and people start to think they get new revelations. Which is exactly why we have so many false doctrines.
There is no proof of what you say in this scripture or other scripture.
Do you think that Adam and Eve had just three children, and only sons?
In one thousand years from the time Adam and Eve were ousted until Noah started building the ark, over half a million people were on the earth.
There is no way of knowing how much time had passed between them being ousted and Cain being banished, but it's possible that 500 years had passed, meaning that it's possible that there was 100,000 people on the earth by that time.
In addition, there are very few 'true' races. Most of us are mixed and have been for thousands of years. For instance, Europeans aren't a true race and never have been. Central Americans aren't a true race. Hispanics aren't a true race.
Your true races that exist are those like the American Indians, Black Africans, and Orientals. There are a few more but they don't have many people left. Even among American Indians, there are some tribes that are virtually extinct now.
Educate yourself not only with the Bible, but with what you are assuming to have happened.
Joel try reading what others are posting, your questions were already answered. BTW...do you believe the flood was world wide and killed everyone but Noah and his family?
The flood may have been world wide but there was no need for it because people was not world wide untill after Noah.There was others of all races on the boat.Gen.6:19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee;they shall be male and female
