Primesky:Trinity is not the way to salvation, it is neither not how Jesus taught us to be redeemed. That is your own teaching. |
MuttleyLaff:Job 38:7 "When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?" I believe you are not by any chance thinking these sons of God are Sethites( The human godly race)? The Contrast between the Son of God and daughters of men in Gen 6 can't be overlooked as ordinary humans. No! |
MuttleyLaff:hold on ..let me quote and answer each please. spaghetti or macaroni ...You already elongated it when you replied ![]() I'm kind of Busy these days , but i will answer them all..i just need time |
MuttleyLaffWhere you are missing it is the fact that you still havent given me a good explanation why the ordinary union of human sons of God and daughters of men produced "Giants offsprings, Mighty men of old, men of renown" renown re·nown [ri nówn] noun widespread acclaim: widespread fame or honor [14th century. < Old French renon < renomer "make famous" < nomer "to name" < Latin nominare] why are they famous and mighty ? if not that they are extraordinarily more than the normal humans. Sethites and daughters of men (Cainites) can not suddenly start producing giant genes of celebrities. ![]() what about the Daughters of God and Sons of Men were they all ugly? where did the extra size come from, just like that ? is the anointing of the descendants of Seth RESPONSIBLE for the extra size? 1/ How, where and when has God impregnated humans?You earlier mentioned that only God can impregnate humans, and i believe you don't mean it in a carnal way. so i don't know why you are asking me that. @ bold Matth. 22:30 "For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven." Does this verse says angels can't marry or reproduce? but rather they don't do so in heaven. this might be their jurisdiction. 1 Peter 3:19-20 "By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water." Jude 1:6 "And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day." Jude likely understands Genesis 6:1-4 to refer to the intermarriage between spirit beings and humans. Jude 6 speaks of “angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling.” Unless Jude is speaking of an unknown event, he seems to be referencing the angels of Genesis 6:1-4 who left heaven to live on earth. This becomes even clearer when Jude compares these angels to the people of Sodom and Gomorrah, “which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire" [literally “strange flesh”] (Jude 7). We know that Sodom and Gomorrah sexually pursued “strange flesh” in that they practiced homosexuality (Genesis 19:5). (Though “men” in the passage were angels, which could also explain the “other flesh.”) Angels that left their original estate is not Satan and the one-third angels that rebelled. Don't even go there Bearing in mind, that the sun and moon are called sons of God,Even if the sun and moon are called sons of God, The ones in Gen. 6 are not sun and moon. The sun and the moon can not take daughters of men and give birth to giants..that one doesn't add up. I hear you MaaminAre angels robots? when on mission don't they have will of their own ?, cant they conceive good and evil thought as well? "2The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they took as wives whomever they chose.No sir! even before Genesis was penned down , The book of Job was completed and one of the oldest. This book always refer to Sons of God as angelic hosts in all instances it was used. The "sons of God" (Genesis 6:2- 4) is a phrase used three other times in the Bible outside of Genesis 6—Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:7. In all three of these instances the "sons of God" are spirit/angelic beings, including Satan himself. The use of the phrase in Job suggests that Genesis 6 is speaking of spirits/angels. Watch this. You're like asking a single man "Are you still beating your wife?"Ok..let me rephrase, what is the exact sins of these Sons of God in Gen. 6? is the Phrase "daughters of men" denote sinful people or abomination? Remember Jesus called himself "Son of man" too. You got caught up in the metaphors used in the bible.I understand the figure of speech perfectly. But this verse above did not lay any emphasis on some special children that comes as a result of ungodly union of 'your son marrying their daughter etcetera.' Did I notice you, in there above, capitalised the s, in sons of God?Any problem with that? Mobilia succinctly on Page 1 and I on Page 3, had already told you, their very sins were intermarryingNO Sir!. the NEPHILIMS existed in those days(as a result of Daughters of Men and The Sons of God) and afterward...not before those days bro! people didnt just start given birth to giant looking beings. ![]() Read Genesis 6:4-7 slowly but loud out, to see how because of their infamy, wickedness and warrior fixated attitude they met their waterloo.Wickedness grew in those days as people try to attain longer and uncommon life styles away from Gods purpose due to this ungodly union. Gen 6:3 "And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years." All fallen angels are demons of some sortsAt least we agree on the bold ![]() It is also good you agree Satan can enter anyone. But i wonder what kind of power Satan has to enter and make human or animal do something against the will of GOD, or even mimic Samuel to answer Saul in (2 Samuel). Thank you. I am grateful to you for replying back as best as you can.The book of Job goes even way back before Genesis...in the old days when it was recorded, the Phrase "Sons of God" was used for angels not Humans. Luke 3:36-38 is a later genealogy of the only spiritual begotten Son of God and the First Son of God (Adam). I can also say He is Son of Man. You are making a fallacy of equivalence.The fact still remains that the Sons of God in Gen 6. refers and contrast two distinct types of beings. I'm not making a fallacy But drawing you to the understanding of this particular controversial portion of the scripture. You whats the issue here?The spiritual is higher than the physical , the spiritual is even said to rule the physical. I'm not carnally minded to think that angels were once on earth to cohabit with human females. You should be the one to tell me what the succubies where doing. Since the sons of God were humans, i wonder what the daughters of God and sons of men were doing. Yes! may be painting their feet and nails to look attractive too in other to be equally desired. 1/ Maamin, why is it that its the men, as in human beings, that God singled out to punish for the sins of the daughter of men, committed with your supposedly "angels" with overly-imaginative and unrealistic tendencies?ANSWER 1: Gen. 6:5 "And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." ANSWER 2: God did not mention man only but also the angels that sinned only that it was not recorded directly in Genesis. 1 Peter 3:19-20 "By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water." ANSWER 3: Answer 2 also answers your query on this number 3. in addition to that, Jude 1:6 "And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day." In conclusion, the “sons of God” are angels who sinned by having sex with beautiful women. This was the view of the early church fathers. Why were they able to “take wives for themselves, whom ever, they chose. The answer could be that angels are very powerful. Why did they do this? We do not know the answer, but we can guess. Finally God curtailed and addressed the e issue at the right time and passed his judgment as fit to both falling angels and Men. |
[quote author=MuttleyLaff post=70994045]Yeah now.OK, can you tell me what is responsible for this extra size looking beings? Human beings are the only ones permitted and mandated to physically impregnate themselvesHumans procreate after their own kind. All animals are mandated to procreate after their own kind. Plants and trees and vegetations. But then comes in cross breeding of two different species to produce another special one. Yes it is only God capable of physically impregnating humans. Angels are only said not to be given in marriage or marry in heaven. They are not specifically said not to be able to do so on earth. Show me one incident of fallen angel shape shifting in the bible.Angels that left their original estate and took daughters of men , are likely to be taking a human form to do just that not spirit. Mobilia is right, about the effect of all these fantastical/Hollywood-inspired influencesYes she is right about nollywood/hollywood and all fantasy fictions you can think of...but this particular teaching of the fallen angels is not. I might term snake and donkey speaking as Hollywood inspired too...since we don't see such in our day to day living. In fact Isn't Satan crafty enough to had made a snake to speak? The neatly arranged perfect natural order with its serene and systematic functioning set up was disrupted the instant the fruit was shared.I couldn't agree with you more on this. But the perfect natural order of angelic beings cohabiting with humans was not Until the sons of God took in daughters of men. Be my guest, if you want to live in that fantasy world of fallen angels humping humansIt is even more of fantasy to even think the falling angels can't procreate since it was not categorically stated about them. Is that the only scripture for your fallen angel transforming into or appearing in physical human forms and performing fleshly activities?It is..and it is very explicit about it. Tell me what was the sin of these angels. 2 Peter 2:4-5 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; Jude 1: 6 "And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day." You will wonder what this their first estate and own habitation is exactly. I can list you lots of, a not fallen angel transforming into or appearing in physical human forms and performing fleshly activitiesYou will have to tell me the very sin of these falling angels or Sons of God in Gen. 6 While this falling angels are bound it is obvious that Satan and his cohorts are the demons wrecking havoc on humanity. Ichuka said angels or falling angels don't posses, and that demons are different from falling angel which I also strongly disagree. Well , Luke 22:3 says "Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve." I will and more, after you have answered the 5 questions listed,I did not see much questions in your replies, may be I did not notice. But I will reply them as best as I can. sons of God is not an exclusive title for angelsSons of God is not used for angels alone. But that of Genesis was not speaking about human sons of God but angelic sons of God. John 1:12 is after Jesus came for redemption. That we are born into the body of Christ and given the power to also become sons of God. Why make an exception in this particular sons of God in Gen 6. While all older scriptures in the Torah refers to sons of God as no other than angelic beings.? Why dont you drop the bible verse here.We read, "And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh..." (Jude 6-7). The first estate of the angels was to serve the purpose of God, not their own lusts for power, a lust for the daughters of men, or a lust to do their own will. Their "own habitation" is the spirit world as they were made "ministering SPIRITS" (Heb. 1:13-14). They were not made "ministering flesh." They (the sons of God) were not to use their transformation powers to put on the flesh of men, which was "strange flesh" for them, in order to sire children with the daughters of men (mortal women). Nowhere in scripture do we read of demons being able to do this. However, the holy angels of God are still able to appear as men (Luke 24:4, Mark 16:5). Although the holy angels of God tend to appear in shining garments, scripture reveals that they look like adult males to people. Some of them look totally like ordinary men. This is how it's possible to entertain them without being aware that they are an angelic being (Heb. 13:2). Now It is no wonder that demons/devils now crave possession of a body. In their chains under darkness, they no longer have the power to transform themselves into ordinary looking adult males as the holy angels of God can do. Assumption, no concrete bible verse and outright speculation.No sir! All the verse you put forward are weak in supporting your teaching. So no! On the other what you read there, is reality, miles more and away from being assumption or speculationThings of God are even more than reality for a spiritual mind. Trust me they are spiritually discerned. ROTBL.Yet he was not called Son of God in Genesis, but a righteous man. You don't want fiction/fantasy doctrine. But this is what it is all about right now...O Yes! angels took human females for themselves. It is possible. And this is what the scripture teaches. No amount of sugar quoting or length you can water this down to say other wise. Cc: Mobila |

[quote author=MuttleyLaff post=70830167]They truly were wiped out during the Noah floodThis giants were they physically big? Sometimes, we give Satan and especially, like in this case, his angels, way too much creditWhat I understand is that so much has been restricted from those falling angels after their rebellion. Though they are still powerful and a little higher than man. Angels can ONLY appear in physical human forms and perform all permissible fleshly activities, if and/or when representing God.I think they can transform or rather shape shift physically at will...the bible says "..even Satan has transform into angel of light". This are higher ability inherent of these spirit beings. But may be it has been bound and taken away from them in other not to keep replicating and perverting the natural order. Also whats important to know, is that, angels, never had, havent any mandate to procreate, that mandate was given to human beingsYou never know what their mandate is/was when they were created, because bible did not mention it either. I only perceive that a boundary was set for them perhaps in the aspect of procreating or mingling with human which they did not keep. Maybe I am reading the bible upside down shaBut the bible already did in Gen 6:1-6 Maamin, you're my guyHere is what you fail to understand. Jesus came as flesh, it was as God's plan, that is the divine will of God. I'd just like God firming Adam earlier in Genesis. Jesus can not be a mutated or extra physically different in appearance as compared to the perverted union between angelic brings and daughters of men. Is like wanting a complete breed of goat or human from let's say a union of a man who had sex with a goat. Trust me the outcome will not look like a normal kid/goat or a normal human child. You need to back up the bolded for me with scriptures. We all are learning ![]() I've given a bit above,His question stem from the use of the word "sons of God" and "Daughters of men". But I completely understand where he is going with it. Like I said earlier, the Sons of God in Genesis 6, are no other than angelic beings. Contrary to what youngfocus, the original poster, constructed,Yes Technically asserting that the mention of these sons of God were not just righteous men of God per say. But higher spirited beings. The very once referred to in Job, as rejoicing when the foundation of the world was being laid. Said, in a simplified way, some sons of God, saw the daughters of God that they might be fair like the daughter of men are;What exactly was the stigma on these daughters of men apart from being flesh?. While sons of God are born of God's spirit.? When one, fast forwards to Genesis 6:8-9, moving on from Genesis 6:2, then a proper understanding of the situation in Genesis 6:2, unravels.All these are just assumption no concrete verse to foot the stand of this your speculation to. Noah was still termed as a MAN who found grace and favour in the eyes of the lord. |

Doesn't hold much water to me, if you ask me. Blood transfusion shouldn't be seen as a sinful act. Our humanity should always come first in saving and preserving lives. |

sonmvayina:Not my idea but what the scripture teaches. No, the flesh returns to dust and perish ...the bible do not teach of mummification. They will be resurrected in due time when Christ come for them. The soul and the spirit are connected, but separable (Hebrews 4:12). The soul is the essence of humanity’s being; it is who we are. The spirit is the immaterial part of humanity that connects with God. Though they are mutually connected in flesh (body). |

[quote author=ichuka post=70767559]Bro you haven't given me any spiritual backing that FALLEN ANGELS are SAME with DEMONS.You really don't need to be dishonest here. ![]() After supplying you with few verses from the scripture to back up my claims here and even drawing references to explain my point. You on the other hand only gave me a verse which you suspected "Demons" to being referred to as "Spirit". Can you provide me a verse that calls the offsprings of the falling angels to be the demons we have today? The two verses I gave you in the book of Acts strongly indicate that ANGELS and DEMON/EVIL SPIRITS are different.Angels and Demons are the same, they are both spirited beings. only that demons are falling angels. While the godly ones remain the sons of God. You can keep denying this truth but the bible is clear about this Matthew 25:41 "Then He will also say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels;" 2 Peter 2:4 Verse Concepts For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, reserved for judgment; Is there anywhere written in the bible that a FALLEN ANGEL/Satan was cast out of a human,No?because they don't dwell in human.thats the job of demonic spirits created by the fail.Neither is there anywhere written in the bible that demons are the Spirit of the Nephilims. Satan is not actually a name but a verb that simply means "adversary" or "accuser"..try to look it up and see the etymology of the word. There are verses where the word "Satan" is used as "adversary" coming from God. |
