Books are now written digitally but before that it was on paper. Earlier they were written on papyrus rolls. Before that, there was a time when books were written on granite slabs, cave walls, tree bark and even on leaves though the latter two did not survive. During the dawn of civilization, books were not written at all, but chiselled. Besides, a few were made through engravings on metals. And also there were the frescos and the stained glass works. Quite a number of these were picture books. When the printing of books on paper was introduced, the first books that came out of print-shops did not belong to the then contemporary writers. They were the classics orally handed down through generations mouth to mouth and those survived on papyrus rolls. The first author certainly was not contemporary to the introduction of printing. In many places the first book ever to be printed was The Bible, dating back many centuries and having many authors.

This is an interesting question. There are questions facing us today that have never had to be faced so it is inevitable that you here lots of different views. Perhaps a good way to start is to always go back to biblical sources, prayerfully, but look for general trends rather than necessarily just one stand alone verse, especially if it is about behaviour. For example whether women should have their heads covered in church. Some of the issues facing early church culture are not the ones facing us. Secondly is it a rational and loving thing to do or think. The bible is about the formation of the church as Jesus body here on earth, therefore unity within the body is paramount. So another check is does this action help build up or injure the church I am in.

So being obedient to the church, serving it and loving others, and of course being faithful to ones own conscience is a pretty safe way to proceed.

The Bible does not have a specific verse that says "reverend no man." However, in Matthew 23:8-10, Jesus instructs his disciples not to call anyone on earth their father, teacher, or instructor, as they have one Father and one instructor who is in heaven. This can be interpreted as a directive to not place undue reverence or adoration on any human being.

Cain (Qabeel) was the son of Hazrat Adam (AS). He killed his brother Habeel. He was not the son of Satan. No one should attribute his sins to Satan. Satan just lures a person to commit sin, it is the person himself who commits sin. We are responsible for our sins.

Judaism does make mention of this, as the prayerbook includes the phrase "You (God) will remove the evil rulership from the Earth."
