Ok so I would like to know what you think or have been told about the mark of God on Cain.
What do you think?

I think God put the mark on Cain to protect him from his family, because everyone knew what he did.

God’s sentencing of Cain to banishment from the ground evidently meant his eviction from the neighborhood of the garden of Eden, and the curse already upon the earth would be increased in Cain’s case, the earth not responding to his cultivation of it. Cain expressed regret over the severity of his punishment and showed anxiety as to the possibility of Abel’s murder being avenged upon him, but still no sincere repentance. Jehovah “set up a sign for Cain” to prevent his being killed, but the record does not say that this sign or mark was placed on Cain’s person in any way. The “sign” likely consisted of God’s solemn decree itself, known and observed by others.—Ge 4:10-15; compare vs 24 where that decree is referred to by Lamech.

Have heard that the mark on Cain is the same mark of the beast.

The Bible doesn't say.If it doesn't say,then we can only guess.If we guess ,it isn't worth a damn.Then we end up making up stories to fill in the blanks like the Catholics do.(A la Veronica,Christopher,etc etc.)

My guess is that it's in the Bible. For more exciting ficiton, check out the
Apocrypha.
