Contradiction with Genesis 5:4
This verse implies Adam had other sons and daughters, which contradicts the notion of exclusive attention on only Cain in Genesis 4:1.
Genesis 5:4: And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
Contradiction with Genesis 1:28
God's command to "be fruitful, and multiply" seems contradicted by the labor pains mentioned in Genesis 4:1, implying difficulty over what was commanded to be easy and natural.
Genesis 1:28: And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. [moveth: Heb. creepeth]
Contradiction with Genesis 3:16
The increase of sorrow and conception given to Eve contradicts the positive framing of the birth in Genesis 4:1.
Genesis 3:16: Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire [shall be] to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. [to thy...: or, subject to thy husband]
Contradiction with 1 Timothy 2:14
This verse discusses Eve being deceived, which contradicts the act of knowing Adam in Genesis 4:1 without mentioning past deception.
1 Timothy 2:14: And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
Paradox #1
One potential theological conflict could be about the origin of Cain. Some interpretations suggest a contradiction in the narrative about who fathered Cain, as other parts of religious or historical texts outside the Bible sometimes imply different origins or relationships. However, within the context of Genesis itself, there isn't a direct contradiction.
