Hi,
I am in doubt that should we use name of cain and his sons names for any Christians, request you to help me to understand. Also can we use the name METHUSAEL for my self (I am a Christian, pkanning to change my name legally ) I request you to help me.
The name of Cain’s son was Enoch, the same name as the first man God translated. If you want to use any name from the bible, or any name in general, you should make sure that you know it’s meaning first, names have a particular influence over your life; consider those whose names God changed and their meanings before and after the change.
