Practical application of Pentecostal theology in politics, economy and social issues

In Genesis 4:19-22, we read a short account of some of Cain’s decendents:
Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah. Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who live in tents and raise livestock. His brother’s name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play stringed instruments and pipes. Zillah also had a son, Tubal-Cain, who forged all kinds of tools out of bronze and iron. Tubal-Cain’s sister was Naamah.
It’s noticeable right away that this line is very inventive. They’re seemingly credited for:
Possibly also the line is the first to build a city (Cain v. 17) and take two wives (Lamech, v. 19).
Given that the line starts with Cain who murdered his brother and who lives under a curse, and ends in this section with Lamech who is also a murderer, what is the author’s purpose in noting the inventions that came from Cain and his decendents? Is the author trying to somehow ameliorate their reputation? Or perhaps tarnish the their inventions by linking them to their character? Simply recording the history of a few items? Or something else?

YES William DeArteaga Isara Mo Bruce Gordon our Link Hudson would tell you Jezebel does not exist BUT many have argued she was the influential Dorkas from Acts… which Philip Williams has no idea of knowing actually and in fact

Troy Day all I can say is that we see this spirit working in individuals, families and churches. I must admit that I have not encountered Dorcas dealing with this. Will have to check into that.

Troy Day Maybe she does.

Troy Day What is the basis they used for arguing that she was Dorcas? That would be quite a long trip.
