Where did Cain come from? Why is he not listed in Adams geology God takes great pain to make sure we can follow the family tree why would he leave Cain out and then go one chapter over and give us Cains line Why would Jesus say in John 8
The Children of the Devil
42Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 43Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 44Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. 46Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? 47He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

Good Afternoon!
Not to get off subject...I consider the first mention of the sons of God and whom that title applied to then,
surely didn't apply to men...
4, ¶ Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
5, Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
6, Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened ? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
7, When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
God Bless!

Do you thank the king took Saraha for a walk and held her hand? God would not have had to stop the king from doing that and the king would not have had to pay such a reparation to Abraham for that.
So yes I thank Satan had sex with Eve and that child was Cain, I am in good company though because Jesus said the same thing as I posted above.

A: I only have one previous post in this thread, did not call anyone any names and have proven myself to refrain from such conduct for the most part.
B: @GaryA gave you an answer in post #2 to which you responded in post #3 that he was correct. However you say to me you’re still looking for a discussion. Falsely accusing someone of sowing discord is not a good way to have a discussion. However to answer your question directly, I believe Eve eating an apple is a metaphor.
Point C: I knew a guy from the East Coast who’s name was Ken. He was egotistical, self-righteous condescending and used to say, “come spirit come”. He moved to Oregon and I haven’t heard from him since. Your name is Ken, you’re from Oregon and in a different thread you said, “come Jesus come”. Good to see you again, Ken. Please proceed to put me on ignore.

@kenallen I found the post I was looking for in a different thread 
Variants of the phrase “dying you shall die” occur 49 times in the Old Testament. Of these, two
are involved in the story of the fall of man—one in Genesis 2:17 and the other in Genesis 3:4.
This same idiom appears twice more in Genesis, in chapters 20, and 26.
In the remainder of the Pentateuch, variations of “dying you shall die” occur 26 times.
In 23 cases, the writers use this phrase to state the penalty for various crimes including
murder, Sabbath breaking, bestiality, and blasphemy. In each text, God is announcing
criminal or civil laws with their penalties. Additionally, these capital penalties are
interspersed among other laws with lesser punishments. It seems unquestionable that
in these 23 occurrences, “dying you shall die” announces a legal penalty for breaking
specific laws. Thus, these 23 texts align well with the two other uses in Genesis. All
announce a punishment to be given for breaking a law or command. source

considering the context of this chapter is the vast array of God's work, including providing the lioness her prey, and especially in regard to the tone of God's challenge toward Job to answer Him, it isn't impossible this is a rhetorical question... i.e., was it the morning stars singing together? was it (all) the sons of God (men) shouting together? ..., that is, no, and it certainly wasn't you...you don't have the wisdom anymore than the stars do...and all of you put together couldn't do it...

because the bible already calls it some nasty names:
Revelation 11:8
And their body will be upon the street of the great city, which is called spiritually Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.
Sodom and Egypt are not exactly good places to compare to. paul also says:
Galatians 4:25-26
Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present-day Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother
