Bible Discussion Thread

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.

I would like more clarity thank you.

Lystra George ,there is some speculation about this ,i can only tell you what i believe ,others may have a different explination ,Cain commited murder ,God did not sentence him to death ,if He had Cain would have died at this point in the narrative ,God allowed Cain to continue living ,Cain was afraid that the people who loved Abel might try to kill him because he had killed Abel ,Cain asked God to do something to help him so that no one would kill him ,God chose to put a mark on Cain somewhere on him where everyone would see it ,no one knows what this mark was ,i have my own idea but its just my speculation so i'll keep it to myself ,this mark for some reason which we dont definately know ,stopped anyone from killing Cain , as you read there will be lots of things that come together slowly to you ,thats how it should be ,dont worry if you dont understand everything straight away ,no one does i promise you ,just stick with the Bible and come on here and ask us anything ,i will ask you ,do you think the mark of Cain and the bruise on the serpents head might be conncted ? You will know the answer to this question eventually i promise you ,may God bless your efforts to draw closer to Him .
