If this line was so godly, why did God destroy them all in the flood except for Noah and his family? I know there were a few people mentioned in the line of Seth who sought after God but this hardly makes the whole line "godly". GE 6:5 The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. 7 So the LORD said, "I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth--men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air--for I am grieved that I have made them." But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD. The Lord did not tell us in this passage that he destroyed the earth with a flood because of the line of Cain. This "godly line" stuff probably comes somewhat from the belief that the "sons of God" who saw the "daughters of men" were sons of Seth versus daughters of Cain but I think that is pretty lame. Typically, men who do evil are not called "sons of God" by the Lord but sons of Belial. I keep hearing about this “ungodly” line of Cain and this “godly” line of Seth.

In your second comment, while the "Lilith" theory is interesting, it isn't true. Stick with the Scriptures. :) In your first comment, I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Also, just to be fair, some other texts purport that Eve had a trist with that ol devil, Satan to produce Cain. His line being responsible for the attrocities throughout history to date. Seth's line went on to produce the sheeple. Food for thought. Sacred-Texts and Scribd are really good sites for discovery.

Note* This is not a slight to ALL jews no more than Charles Manson is a mascot for all white people, just the truth.

I thought I found it on Wikimedia Commons, but I don't see it there anymore. A Google Image search didn't help determine its source either, though I saw it used by quite a number of other bloggers.
