<TITLE>06. Par -</TITLE>L-306-599 Now, from there Cain went and married his wife in the land of Nod. Now, it doesn't say who Seth married or who others married. And the very beautiful thing of that is to know that--that Cain marrying, we have the answer to it. 'Cause he had to marry his sister, or he--or there'd been a... There was no more women on the earth, but just had to come from Eve. She was the mother of all living. That's all the people that was living, she was the mother of it. That's the reason that she... The word "Eve" means "the mother of the living." So she came and brought this child. And Cain married his own sister, would be the only way that I could see out of it. So there was people living in that day, truly. See? Well, and...
When Adam and Eve had their children in Eden... Now, watch, that's the question: When they had their children in Eden, was there other people on earth at this time?  No. Then in Genesis 5:16 (You see?) Cain dwelt in the land of Nod and knew his wife. Sure. See?

L-306-601 That's Genesis 1, where He created man in His own image, which was in the theophany. And in Genesis 2, He made man out of the dust of the earth, which was the human man that we have now. And then in 3 was the fall and was kicked from the garden of Eden; and then the children begat children. And Cain took his wife and lived with her in the land of Nod, outside, because God had separated him from the fellowship with his own brother, because of the death of--of Abel. And that's who he had, his own sister, and married her; is the only way that I could, myself, can see how that--that he married.

L-307-602 Now, it's been said... And I hope that my colored friends that's in here will excuse this remark, because it's absolutely not right. The first time I ever met anyone in my life, after I'd been converted... I was--met Brother George DeArk and them down there. And I was walked, and the Lord led me to a little place. And they was discussing where the colored man came from. And they were trying to say that the colored man, that Cain married an animal like an ape, and through there come forth the colored race. Now, that's wrong. Absolutely, that's wrong. And don't never stand for that. 'Cause there was no colored or white, or any other different; it was just one race of people unto the flood. Then after the flood and the tower of Babel, when they begin to scatter out, that's when they taken their colors and so forth. They're all come from the same tree. That's exactly right. Adam and Eve was the father and mother, earthly, of every living creature of human beings that's ever been on the earth. That's right. Black, white, pale, brown, and yellow, whatever color you might be, that's absolutely the place that you live in, and the way that--that the... Just like I think...

L-307-603 I might express this while I'm on it. The people here now in these segregations and laws and things they're passing, I think it's ridiculous. I really do. Listen. Just let those people alone; they know what they want. God made a man a colored man, and he's happy about it. Absolutely. If God made me a colored man, I'd be happy about it; if He made me a brown man, I'd be happy; if He made me a white man, I'm happy; if He made me a yellow man, I'd be happy. God made us in our colors, and He made us the way He wanted us, and we're all His children. Absolutely. And they oughtn't to fuss and carry on like that. That's wrong to do that. They shouldn't do it. God made us... The way we wanted... And the colored man, he don't want to get out there and break up his--his generation or his color, and mix it in with a... the white and everything like that. I don't blame him. I don't. The colored man has things that the white man don't even possess. Absolutely. That's exactly right. And God never intended them to be that way.
