Bible Question:
Dear brothers and sisters in our Lord: From gen 4:1, can we say that Cain is the first son of Adam? If so then all the offsprings of Adam, should call Cain eldest brother or father, or uncle, or grandpa or great granpa and so forth ( in Asian we call this way). So why Cain worried that "whoever found him would kill him" in gen 4;14? |
Bible Answer: My NIV Bible study notes says: Cain's guilt and fear over killing his brother were heavy, and he probably feared repercussions from his family. If he was capable of killing, so were they. |
