Bigfoot Cain Is

QUOTE
Cain was not to be killed by men only by God (Moses 5:40)
I think you are misunderstanding the scripture. The scripture you quote says
QUOTE
And I the Lord said unto him: Whosoever slayeth thee, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And I the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.


The scriptures are clear at this point Cain could be killed by man, and more then likely was killed by one of his descendants.

Is Cain Bigfoot? Studies Doctrine Mormon

I believe that when David W. Patten ran into Cain it was simply his spirit.


If Cain was a spirit that appeared to Elder Patten, then how do you account for his appearance? He was covered with hair and as tall as Elder Patten when Elder Patten sat a horse.

Zelph also said:

Cain wasn't made immortal, he could still be killed and more then likely was.


Hard to be sure about that. It is not to say that Cain was unable to be killed, but that he wouldn't be. The word "lest" ofGen. 4:15, is more like "not" in a literal translation. This word, per Gesenius" Hebrew lexicon #1115, means "lest" when following a command verb. Therefore, He wouldn't be killed because he ruled the wicked, and the righteous were commanded not to kill him.

Now I believe the account of the book of jasher to be truthful, rather than believing the Cain-Big Foot theory.


Who said Cain was Bigfoot? There are sightings of multiple bigfeet, so unless Cain can have kids, its out.

I have another theory stated below.

Isiah53 said:
QUOTE
a few verses later we read that Cain is married, has children and builds a city. The first city mentioned in the Bible. It is also the first civilization mentioned in the bible. So it is clear that he lived with people, and founded civilization or Babylon. Nothing is said of him living forever, or being hairy.


And where was the city built? "...on the east of eden."
Where is Eden? Missouri. In 1971, a creature described as "half-ape, half-man," was spotted in north-eastern Missouri. Later three children saw it saying it was "six or seven feet tall, black and hairy."

Then it gets strange:
QUOTE
Three evenings later, as the children's father Edgar Harrison and some friends stood talking outside the harrison home, they saw a 'fireball' come over nearby Marzolf Hill and apparently alight behind an abandoned schoolhouse across the street.  Five minutes later another followed suit.  Not long afterwards, a loud growl emanated from the hilltop and seemed to come down and toward the listeners, thought its source was not visible to them.  The police investigated but found nothing. --Jerome Clarke, Unexplained, p. 268-269.


He goes on to relate how balls of light exploded with stench. It was seen for weeks, reported as having both ape and human features. Some heard disembodied voices.

Such "haunting" phenomena suggest a spiritual nature, yet MOMO, as he has been dubbed, also stole and ate a peanut butter sandwich and left footprints.

Its the right territory. Right appearance. Behavior? Hmmmm.

Well, after reading this thread over we have to reach the conclusion it is all a matter of speculation. I really doubt Cain is bigfoot or some sort of hairy creature that goes around scaring people. I am not saying Bro. Patten was lying but there are so many of these urban legends/stories going around that sometimes we believe them to be true.

Yep. Speculation. Certainly not doctrine. Happily, D&C 88:78 commands us to teach one another theories, assuming, I'm sure that the theories are not presented as doctrine. It is for our intellectual benefit to ponder things.

Those are pretty good points you have, I never figured or pondered on this. If Cain was bigfoot wouldn't he be normal sized man but just hairy like bigfoot? There have been multiple appearances of big foot around the world, so if Cain was bigfoot wouldn't there only be just one bigfoot if it was Cain?

Exactly. That's what I think. Nevertheless, we have to keep in mind that these sightings may not be necessarily true. Just as an example (even though it may seem unrelated) when someone goes missing, people report "sightings" of that person all over the world. They swear they saw such person and end up being incorrect so I think this same reasoning applies in this case. Just because a lot of people say they saw "Big Foot" does not mean they did, maybe it was a bear or other type of animal but not a strange phenomenon.

I know two appearances around the round that are true, One in America and one in Australia. So obviously Cain is not Bigfoot.
