I struggled with some of Clement's translation and interpretation of scripture. He quoted scripture on page 24 as saying, "At this Cain took offense, and his face grew black." I just question the translation and what exactly he means there. Is it referring to the mark that God put on Cain, or simply saying that his face was downcast? That is what I have found in other translations. I have heard of a false teaching in the church that claims the Lord made Cain black as his mark. I know that this is false, but I wonder if this could be where people claim to have the evidence for such a belief. Also, when referring to Noah and the flood, on page 26, he said that those who repented and believed after Noah's preaching were saved. However, there were no people saved when Noah preached. If they had been saved, God would have spared them also.
I commented on Wendy and Hannah's posts.
