Cain and Abel's Siblings

On another thread, the question was asked about Cain and Abel's other sibling because the Bible does not tell us in the account of the jealousy of Cain and the murder of Abel.

This comes down to realizing we do not have all the information.

Isaiah 55:8-9
8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord.
9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways
And My thoughts than your thoughts.

God knows how all this occurred, and no man can have the knowledge God does. Trying to understand every nuance of the Bible is like an ant trying to understand all the ways of humans; their brains are just not able to figure out what God knows.

Might we remember that trusting in Christ is knowing He has the information and will only give us what we need to know.

The account of Cain and Abel is not about who the siblings are, its about the jealousy and the lazy sacrifice in disobedience to God by one of the brothers. And the faithfulness of the other brother.

Focus on what God did give us and realize God's information to us is on a need-to-know basis, and we do not need to know the details, but we do need to understand the lesson and principles.

Those who attempt to trap us into having an answer for every question in the Bible think they are equal to God, and if they cannot figure out what God meant, then it is God who is foolish.

This is typical of rebellious people who hate the truth; they think they have all the answers, and often they do not, making themselves look foolish to those who are wise.

When we love Christ, and He lives in us, we are satisfied with what He has given us to know and excited when He decides to give us more wisdom.

It is neither wise nor smart to think we can figure out every question. If we love Christ, we are satisfied with the answers He gave us and the wisdom that comes from them.

I am satisfied with what God gave us and ask for more when He is ready to give it.

Proverbs 3:5-6 "5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight."

Notice the last sentence of this passage: "and HE will make your paths straight."
