Cain’s Enemies
The Bible is the Ultimate reference to God and Jesus, so the Bible is the literal Word of God. To view the Bible, in any way, metaphorically, figuratively, and symbolically is an insult to God himself. People that Believe...
may NOT interpret the Bible different than it is written...
may NOT make excuses for how it is written...
may NOT pick and choose what to believe...
HAVE to take the Bible as Black and White, Face Value, LITERALLY!!!, lest they be hypocrites!!!
2 Peter 1:20-21 In short, no one person is allowed their own interpretation of the Bible.
Genesis
Chapter 4
Torah Verses 13-16
NAB
(Catholic) Verses 13-16
KJV
13. And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can
bear. 14. Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the
earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a
vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth
me shall slay me. 15. And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance
shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any
finding him should kill him. 16. And Cain went out from the presence
of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
NIV Verses 13-16
The
first problem with this is that there were no other people to harm Cain except his
father and mother/sister, so the Mark was useless since there would be no one
to find him.
Next
is by definition, Cain cannot settle anywhere because he is a vagrant, vagabond, a restless
wanderer.
