Question
QUESTION: Who is Cain's father? I have been taught that it is Satan that Eve was impregnated by Satan and Adam fathered Able where do I find this in the Bible?

ANSWER: Hi Deborah,
  God's word says that Cain was Adam's son.

   "Genesis 4:1-2  And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground."

   What you heard is not true.  Thanks for your question.  If you have further questions please write.

QUESTION: This is the way it was explained to me and it makes sense. Eve protook of the fruit tree that God forbid her. This is Satan...This was a sexual act....She then shared with Adam the fruit....A sexual act... There fore she conceived twins because in the Greek or Hebrew I forget which one the word again means to continue in. So when she gave birht to Cain she also had Able whom were twins.
In Adams genology you will not find Cain mentioned Why?

Answer
Hi Deborah,
  Respectfully, if you will read Genesis 3-4 you can see that what you have been told was not according to God's own word about the matter.
  Nothing in the Bible says eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was a sexual act.  It was a matter of simply rejecting God's word and disobeying Him by "eating" the fruit of this tree.
   Further Cain and Abe were not twins. (Genesis 4:1-2)
  The Genealogy in Matthew is the genealogy of Jesus Christ, and Jesus was not a descendent of Cain.   Jesus came from Adam, through his son Seth...not Cain.
  I am not sure where you are getting your teaching, but sadly they are grossly misleading you and teaching things not in God's word.
   Hope this helps.
