Doreen asked: "I have heard that Cain and Abel were twins. If this is true, how would I find this in the bible? Thank you."

Do you have a question? Do you need information? I love answering questions! I try to respond to each email personally.
The New Testament is the best-attested book of the ancient world. The manuscript copies of most Greek and Latin authors can usually be counted on both hands, with some rising in the hundreds. Homer's writings are the second-most popular with less than 2500 copies of his Iliad and Odyssey combined.

The Old Testament is primarily about Judaism.
The New Testament is about Christianity.
