Betty Bowers Explains Traditional Marriage to Everyone Else

Last edited Thu Nov 29, 2012, 02:59 PM - Edit history (1)

I Love Betty Bowers!

I didn't know she was making videos, but this one is very funny, but also very educational, just wish those in "real America" could see it too.



Here's a write up on this too:

It is older than the Septuagint

Jubilee 3:06 This one will be called my wife because
she was taken from her husband.

The moral of the story is after Cain slew Abel he
took Abel's woman and her children. Note that
in Scripture the patriarch always takes a wife!

This means the patriarch is a eunuch.

Or where all those women come from in Chapter 4:16-17?

And what about this "Land of Enoc?" Because the book of Genesis really seems to skip around a leave a lot of details out, at least in the English translations.

There is nothing in Genesis in any Bible I've ever read about Abel having a wife and/or children. Cain killed Abel. And it says Adam and Eve had two sons, Cain and Abel, no daughters.

Try again, where did Cain's wife come from if Adam and Eve were the first two humans and they only had two sons?
