LordReed:
Fine then, provide evidence of or demonstrate that human beings, are spirit wearing an earth suit.
Your body is an earth suit, when you snuff it, the spirit returns back to its Owner but your soul goes to rest and a waiting place pending the day of judgment when you will give account for every careless word spoken, you'll have to explain the reason(s) for your every word, thought and deed. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned, on that day.

Can you provide evidence of or demonstrate what a spirit is?
You have to be specific dear friend, the evidence or demonstration of what spirit you are particularly interested in. After all, human beings, are spirit wearing an earth suit

The same Melchizedec speaking below?

And [Melchizedek] blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And [Abraham] gave him tithes of all.
– Genesis 14:20 KJV

If Melchizedec wasn't serving Jehovah, do you think Abraham would have tithed to him?
Do you read the Bible carefully and properly to understand at all? Did you at all, take in what I wrote up there, that Abraham gave the tithes to Melchizedek because he was the closest to what and who Abraham believes in?

alBHAGDADI did you not read in Genesis 14:22, where Abraham surpassed how Melchizedek addressed God, when he mentioned God by the name Yahweh that Melchizedek never used

Sebi, you said Melchizedek was a high priest alBHAGDADI? Where is your evidence that Melchizedek is/was a high priest alBHAGDADI please?

alBHAGDADI:
Look, I know your kind and how tested your beliefs are. I also remember how you ran away when I requested for some answers from you when you said you were going to go and dig the forums of Mesopotamia for artifacts. grin
SMH, you are a confirmed born liar for shamelessly spewing this sort of blatant and unfounded tissue of lies.

alBHAGDADI:
I've seen enough already.
This one is even saying Melchizedek was confused. grin
Goodbye
You always know you will get educated whenever you stretch your head above the parapet. If you are really that knowledgeable about tithe, it's mention and introduction to the Bible, you would have learned that Abraham after slaughtering the King's, as per the prevailing custom after winning a battle, had to give tithes of spoil of the war or battle to a priest cum king of the land. Abraham being a relatively new convert to his new faith, found Melchizedek to be the closest to a priest and king worthy to him who he can give the tithe of the spoul of war to. After all, Melchizedek is a priest of El Elyon, as in, God the Most High. Melchizedek never mentioned Yahweh as being his God but Abraham qualified and made it known that, as for him, he worships El Elyon who is Yahweh.

Stop lying, no one said Melchizedek was confused. You are up to your silly games again. It is very clear in the Bible, that Melchizedek never acknowledged and know God to be Yahweh, it was Abraham who made it a point of duty to publicly announce and make it known.

OkCornel:
And after comparing Jesus to Melchizedek...The author of Hebrews concluded they are one and the same person abi?

Some people are just reading their Bible upside down.

The same Hebrews mentioned clearly Melchizedek had no mother or father...according to alBHAGDADI... perhaps Jesus had no father or mother too...

Maybe we should also believe in reincarnations too... perhaps, Elijah and John the Baptist are one and the same person as well... cheesy cheesy cheesy

And for the bolded part of your quote, just see how you're contradicting yourself in just a paragraph...smh
alBHAGDADI:
1. Kindly tell us who Melchizedek was?
Melchizedek didnt know and never acknowledged he is a priest of YHWH
All Melchizedek knew was that he is a priest of El Elyon (i.e. a priest of God, the Most High)
The one and truly El Elyon, whose personal name is Yahweh, Melchizedek doesn't know
and he so unable to recognise El Elyon's name (i.e. Yahweh) as being good or important enough to mention

Evidentally Melchizedek had no relationship whatsoever with Yahweh. Melchizedek Evidentally and in the real sense, had no relationship whatsoever perse with Yahweh

alBHAGDADI:
2. Why didn't he have a Father nor mother?
He had but what no had any record of his birth and death

alBHAGDADI:
3. Why did he go by the same titles Jesus is known by?
You have just read how Abraham's El Elyon is quite distinct from Melchizedek's El Elyon and this is confirmed when Abraham publicly acknowledged Yahweh by stating clearly and without doubt letting it be known that he, Abraham had sworn to Yahweh, God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth. Besides, pagan gods bear same titles by which the true God is known by too, dont they?

alBHAGDADI:
4. When was he appointed high priest of God?
He was never appointed high priest of God,. Where did you get this false or inaccurate information from, deliberately told and intending to deceive with huh?. Melchizedek was priest of God Most High, not and never was a high priest

alBHAGDADI:
5. Why doesn't he have a beginning nor end of days?
Already above responded to this

alBHAGDADI:
6. Where is he now?
Six foot or so under

Christianity Etc › Re: Heart-to-heart: Am I Born LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, TRANSGENDER (LGBT)? by MuttleyLaff:
Jsmile:
Maybe no one has told you this truth before my friend, but i will have to tell you this today.

What makes you a man created in the image and likeness of God is more inwardly than outwardly, as such, man is not a being of evolution, but a created, formed and made being. Never trample at what God wants to make out of your life.

One of the major duties of man through God, as was neglected by first Adam was, for him to rule over the unruly lower nature of man or what i call the beastly nature of man [The earth suit]. That is one of the main dominion mandate of your existence. If you can not rule over your members, including the means by which the sexual desires of that lower nature finds expression as God ordained it, there's nothing you can rule over spiritual speaking in the territory God planted you. Hope you believe man is a territorial being too?

The composition of your lower nature that made you a legal earth being on planet earth was formed from the same dust like every other animal that exist upon planet earth today. You can call it terrestrial body.

My friend, you have a choice to depend on God, your source and sustainer to live as he originally intended it in the Genesis 1&2 of creation by your soul will or you can choose to live the way it seems right to you and be identified with the perverseness that exists both in humans and animals till date which began in Genesis 3.

Please kindly help move this topic to sexuality thread, never knew such designated thread existed if not some days ago after making this post with my other account.

Why do you want this thread shoved out of sight and buried away in a faraway sexuality forum?. No matter the guise under you use to comment with, no matter how much incognito you post, your sin(s) finds you out

You've bitten more than you can chew, you are getting stomach aches from what you nibbled at, the heat has got to you in the kitchen, you are uncomfortably getting hot with dripping sweats hence your calling out to the mods.

What began in Genesis 3? Humour me, please share if you really know what you are saying and talking about


If you arent lying show where God said He is displeased with two easy going, ordinary consenting adults, minding their own businesses enjoying a life long caring, faithful, committed, truthful, honest, loving each other lasting that's life-long and loyal same-sex relationship, that has no detriment to another person, no betrayal of another person, or no cheating on another person, and not harmful to an object or neighbour.

You know luvmijeje, has suss you out and may God have mercy on you if you are living a lie of not being true to your nature.

You are naive, a learner and wet behind the ear, if not, you would have known or learned that you are more than this earth suit you have on. You would have known that, there is neither male nor female in the kingdom. Whether a man or a woman, we are all the same in Christ Jesus. You would have recognised that procreation was a means to an end. It isn't the end, it simply is solving a vacuum situational problem that arose.
Christianity Etc › Re: Who Said Angels Don't Have Sexual Feelings? by MuttleyLaff:
Ihedinobi3:
I don't believe or teach that "sons of God" is an exclusive title for angels. The Lord Jesus Himself is titled the Son of God. Adam was called in Luke son of God. Believers are also later called sons of God by John. So, it is not at all my thinking that it is an exclusive title for the angels. So there is no unlearning necessary here if you meant that comment for me.
Good.

Ihedinobi3:
Further, my stated reason for saying that the sons of God in Genesis 6 are angels is obviously not because the title is in any way exclusive to them. It would be quite wrong of you to suggest that it is.
Please, without erroneouly giving me Genesis 6:2, 6:4, Job 1:6, 2:1, 38:7 and Luke 20:36, state your reason(s) for saying that the sons of God in Genesis 6 are angels

Ihedinobi3:
As for the sons of God being righteous men of God, I can only see you saying that that is the case with only the reason that "sons of God" has more than one meaning. But the fact that it does means that it is no more necessarily "righteous men of God" than it is necessarily "angels". You are only rejecting one possibility in favor of one you prefer for no stated reason yet.
I was just being civil and unnecesarily generous because actually there is nowhere angels are in a clear and detailed manner, leaving no room for confusion or doubt called sons of God. If you know of any verse that in a clear and detailed manner, leaving no room for confusion or doubt, calls angels sons of God, please as soon as possible, share this with me

Without erroneouly giving me Genesis 6:2, 6:4, Job 1:6, 2:1, 38:7 and Luke 20:36, please show me where in the bible, angels are called the "sons of God"? None. Nowhere.

Ihedinobi3:
I think that it is a weird type of eye that would actually see things any different than that. This is the passage in question:

[1]Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them,
[2]that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.

Genesis 6:1-2 NASB
It is uplifting and heart-warming to see that you underlined men and daughters to show the contrast in the storyline's change in tone and it switching to using sons of God and daughters of men instead of the previous ordinary men and daughters

Ihedinobi3:
It is not possible to make that statement any clearer than it is. Men began to multiply and daughters were born to them and these daughters were found to be beautiful by "the sons of God".
Read further on, to see where I've dealt with this remark

Ihedinobi3:
As to a disparity between sons of God and daughters of men, in my previous post, I pointed out that this was an important thing to notice in the passage because of how weird it was that "sons of God" is used in a context where human beings were being talked about. The sons of God would need to be qualified in order for the passage to make sense if they were also human beings. Otherwise, its use only surprises the reader and confuses him.
It doesnt surprises the reader and confuses the reader, if the reader is conversant with the theme of the story and reading with the eyes peeled
If I havent already asked you, please can I ask you then, what is the theme of Genesis chapter 6 Ihedinobi3?

Ihedinobi3:
It seems obvious to me that any distinctions of daughters of MEN (the word was "men" too, not "man" ) from daughters of God is really forced.
Please ignore wherever I've typed "daughters of man" instead of typing "daughters of men" I actually meant in the first place intended typing "daughters of men"

Ihedinobi3:
The passage does not offer any real reason to infer such distinctions here. All it says is that men multiplied and had daughters born to them who were beautiful. There was no switching around of terms. Men had daughters. Those daughters were later referred to as "daughters of men". That is very natural language. They could hardly be called anything else. The only weird thing here is "sons of God". The term would ordinarily surprise a reader because we were talking about human beings until now. Why suddenly say "sons of God" when the passage had been speaking of human beings multiplying and having female children? Such a question would be legitimate. And that is why I said in the beginning that a mild debate about the term is not unreasonable. It is queer language to use there.
A smart man only believes half of what he reads, a wise man know which half to believe, so I am pleased that you are up for discussing this

Now, when you say: "The passage does not offer any real reason to infer such distinctions here.", can I ask you, what is the theme of Genesis chapter 6 Ihedinobi3?
If you answer that question correctly enough, it becomes easier to see the build up, the switching terms making distinctions between men generally and a certain set or different types of men, referred to as "the sons of God". See the switching terms making distinctions between the general women and a different or certain set of the womenfolk, referred to as "daughters of men" It will be inconsistent of the bible not to stick with it's original style but it changed the style because it is making distinctions has the theme of the narrative unfolds

Ihedinobi3:
Regarding that, I said above that the term is clearly not exclusive to angels. But it does, in fact, apply to angels sometimes. Therefore, it is not reasonable to rule them out just because of the term itself. Perhaps the term refers to righteous men, or perhaps it refers to angels. Either is a possibility if the term is the only consideration. Thankfully, it isn't. If it was, it would be impossible to understand this part of the Bible.
Dont be so quick to be thankful, remember, I asked you above, that without erroneouly giving me Genesis 6:2, 6:4, Job 1:6, 2:1, 38:7 and Luke 20:36, please show me where in the bible, angels, in a clear and detailed manner, leaving no room for confusion or doubt, are called the "sons of God" Have you been able to oblige me?

Ihedinobi3:
As to what the term means, the definition you gave is quite obviously uncredited. Adam was also a son of God but he sinned. We believers today are sons of God but we all sin and the vast majority of us are lukewarm in the Faith. By your definition of full dependence on God, however, neither Adam nor we are sons of God since sin is necessarily a failure to depend fully on God. There is another definition that may be gleaned from the Bible. "Sons of God" would be "deputies" of God, that is, agents of God's Authority in His Creation. Clearly, Adam was one. Clearly, we are too by our position in THE Son of God Jesus Christ Who is God's Chosen Ruler over all Creation and we will become actualized in that position in the Resurrection. Angels too are God's Agents today. That was what they were created to be and they still function that way. Even the rebels among them necessarily answer to God for the domains that they usurp. This is seen in Satan's role in the assembly in Job 1, 2. Even though he did not show up as a friendly, he did have to tell God what he had been up to on earth which he usurped from Adam. So, when the Bible uses the term, it is not wrong to expect that it may be referring to even rebel angels.
"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:"
- John 1:12

I gave you John 1:12, as a bible guide about what sons of God is before mentioning dependence, now tell me if dependence is uncredited in being called a son of God

I already said, I was just being civil and unnecesarily generous when playing along and permitting you ascribing "sons of God" to angels. I am sorry, but that it the only means, I could think of to try to understand you, to know where and what position you are coming from

My question if yet not answered, still stands Ihedinobi3. So again and without erroneouly giving me Genesis 6:2, 6:4, Job 1:6, 2:1, 38:7 and Luke 20:36, please show me where in the bible, angels, in a clear and detailed manner, leaving no room for confusion or doubt, are called the "sons of God"?

Ihedinobi3:
As to "daughters of God", while the term is not theologically wrong since, at least, all female believers are in the same position as male ones, it is not warranted in this passage. That there are daughters of God as counterparts to sons of God and sons of men as counterparts to daughters of men is neither here nor there. It has no place in the passage.
You are absolutely right, it has no place in the passage. In fact, the "daughters of God" phrase is not warranted in the narrative because it is not party to the theme of discussion in Genesis Chapter 6 Ihedinobi3. The existing and unfolding problem, got exacerbated when the "sons of God" went into "daughters of men" The bible is always careful and deliberate with its choice of words and wordings, hence the conscious switch of tone from using the word "daughters" to moving on to the more distinctive "daughters of men" The "daughters of men" are complicit, even if by accident or as willing partners, they are and so the reason why the "daughters of men" are mentioned and the "daughters of God" are not

Ihedinobi3:
Thus your "simple" and self-admitted retelling of that part of the Bible is neither warranted nor accurate. The distinctions on which it is based are foreign to the passage and the definition you worked with is foreign to the Bible itself.
The most perplexing and head scratching situations usually have simple retelling answers. If you can't explain it simply, it means you don't understand it well enough then.

Ihedinobi3:
Two words about the Nephilim and Noah whom you also talked about:

1. About Noah, this is what the Bible says:

[8]But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.
[9]These are the records of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his time; Noah walked with God.

Genesis 6:8-9 NASB

I see nothing in there about marrying a daughter of God as opposed to marrying a daughter of man. But I do see that it was his "generations", that is, his biological pedigree that appears to matter here. In fact, this is connected to the issue of the Nephilim. Noah was a pure blood, a full human. He was not a Nephilim at all. Nor was his wife, nor were their children. They were the only humans left alive. The craze to have children like the Nephilim as great as they were had led everyone else to breed with them and fatally contaminate the human species with an evil bent of nature. The Nephilim were exactly like the rebel angels in character. They were unrepentantly evil but physically powerful, able to do things that were humanly impossible and very very resilient. These things were what occasioned the Flood. They weren't easy to kill and they could not be converted. See below.
You say you see nothing in there about marrying a daughter of God as opposed to marrying a daughter of men, but then go on to say, but you do see that it was his "generations", that is, his biological pedigree that appears to matter here. I hope you see how you've contradicted yourself there.

Anway, we know why in Genesis 6, God was planning to wipe the whole earth of human beings, however, God finds something in Noah, that is exemplanary. It said, Noah is "perfect in his generations", and that is exactly how you too put it, when you said "he was not a Nephilim at all. Nor was his wife, nor were their children" and that him his wife and children were the only full human beings left about on earth

Ihedinobi3:
[4]The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
[5]Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Genesis 6:4-5 NASB

2. About the Nephilim, yes, you are right that the Nephilim had been in the earth for some time but not that the marriage of the sons of God only added to them or that they survived the Flood.
The evidence is there, black and white in the bible, look at Genesis 6:4a, saying "The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward,". They already existed but incresingly became more with the interest of the "sons of God" bar Noah, going into "daughters of men"

Ihedinobi3:
Regarding the last, Goliath and the descendants of Anak were no Nephilim.
"We even saw the Nephilim there—the descendants of Anak that come from the Nephilim!
We seemed like grasshoppers in our own sight, and we must have seemed the same to them!"
- Numbers 13:33

Goliath, the giant killed by David, wasnt the only descendant of the Nephilim. Giants, when man fell, originally came about from the Nephilim. Giants population increased and got aggravated to becoming a menace to society when the sons of God suddenly found the daughters of men's beauty powerfully and mysteriously attractive to.

Ihedinobi3:
It was the fear of unbelieving Israelites that made them qualify them that way to justify their cowardice. They were abnormally sized humans.
This entire remark is laughable and if I should comment on it, kkins25 and others will say I am doing a metatron again.

Ihedinobi3:
The Nephilim were not giants
Ihedinobi3, did you just type that the Nephilim were not giants? kkins25, come see, see me, see confusion and wahala ooo

Ihedinobi3, the word Nephilim in Hebrew means giants. If you want me to elaborate, and go into the etymology details and literal meaning of Nephilim, I will, but only if you ask me to, so suffice to say, the Nephilim were giants, human beings initially with incredible stature and strength before brains met brawn. The beauty of the "daughters of men" was the catalyst.

Ihedinobi3:
They were "men of renown" or "great men". They did things that made them greatly admired among men. The Rephaim too were not Nephilim. They were also men of great stature and number, but still ordinary humans
"18After this, there was another battle against the Philistines at Gob. As they fought, Sibbecai from Hushah killed Saph, another descendant of the giants.
19During another battle at Gob, Elhanan son of Jairf from Bethlehem killed the brother of Goliath of Gath. The handle of his spear was as thick as a weaver’s beam!
20In another battle with the Philistines at Gath, they encountered a huge man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in all, who was also a descendant of the giants.
21But when he defied and taunted Israel, he was killed by Jonathan, the son of David’s brother Shimea
22These four Philistines were descendants of the giants of Gath, but David and his warriors killed them
"
- 2 Samuel 21:18-22

Ihedinobi3, I repeat, brawn and brains. Nephilim represents brawn, sons of God represent brains. The Nephilim were able to be "men of renown" or "great men" and did things that made them greatly admired among men, not just only because of their stature and physical strength but importantly because they became endowed with intelligence from the association of the "sons of God" going into the "daughters of men" Beauty, Brawn and Brains. Bullies will always be a bully, no matter how much brains they have, that is why the giants in the bible were well known for some bad quality or deed. Case in point Goliath etcetera.

Ihedinobi3:
The Nephilim were normal-sized, physically strong and very resilient but also they were abnormally intelligent (compare the passages about Antichrist who is himself prophesied to be Nephilim)
I am sure of the bible verse you are referring the Antichrist to being prophesied to be Nephilim but would like you to post here your reference that the Antichrist himself is prophesied to be Nephilim please.

Being a bully that Nephilims are, is it surprising, that the physical strength and intelligience qualities be found in the Antichrist?

Ihedinobi3:
But let us see the passage again before we continue.

[4]The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
Genesis 6:4 NASB

To begin, this verse is actually addressing the timeline. The genealogy in the previous chapter ended with Noah and later in this chapter we see that the story picks up with Noah again. What Moses did here was explain that this situation pre-existed the current point at which the story was (at the beginning of the 120 years of grace before the Flood: see verse 3). The marriage of the sons of God to daughters of men occurred before this time and thus the Nephilim had already been around for a while by the time Noah was born. And they remained until the Flood. That was the gist.
See my comment below

Ihedinobi3:
That is, it is error to say that the Nephilim existed prior to those marriages or after the Flood since that is not what that verse says. What it does say is that the Nephilim were already existing from when the human women bore them until after this point in the story when God set about bringing on the Flood.
To an ill-informed and unprejudiced mind, the words, as they stand in Genesis 6:4, states, as clear as day, that the Nephilim, who were on the earth in those days, as existing, before the sons of God began to go into the daughters of men. It didnt even say marry or know them, as Adam and others knew their wives, but says: "the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men" Bluntly put, the "sons of God" fairked the "daughters of men" literally.

Thanks for the toast on this beautiful day of mine.
Have a blast

luvmijeje:
Muttleylaff, do you know that my story of my relationship with God is a Bible. Yours too is a Bible. What makes Moses' story or Paul's story better than mine. What makes it more inspiring than mine. These men are men like you
Peter, Barnabas and Paul actually said: "We too are only men, human like you," that they are human beings just like you and I! Peter, Barnabas and Paul never had a chip on their shoulders nor thought too much of themselves than necessary. Never boasted about material wealth, never preached or taught imposed and/or obligatory ecclesiastical monitised tithe giving, never promoted and/or indulge in activities for pecuniary gain.

luvmijeje:
Stop putting them on a pedestal you all could surpassed. Stop making them infallible. They are men with flaws.
Which posters, who have you seen, who do you know, in and/or on here Nairaland, putting man, dead or alive, on a pedestal, hmm?

luvmijeje, respect is one of the greatest expresison of love and so, as for me, everyone, as an individual, whether Peter, Barnabas and Paul or Kamoru Obi Shehu, should be respected and definitely not idolised or put on a pedestal. I respect people for what and who they are, not for what I want them to be, same respect I give to that sharp blade on my knife sitting on my kitchen top, for what it is. It is a sharp knife.

luvmijeje:
Muttleylaff I've so many flaws and it took me a long time to accept who I am. It took me a long time to love who I am and never to be ashamed of who I am. The only different is that my flaws are only criminalized in the Bible and not by the government.
luvmijeje, I dont know any perfect person. I, myself luvmijeje, I am made entirely of flaws. I am flawed and still worthy. Do you know that a diamond with a flaw is worth more than a pebble without imperfections?

Listen, I can assure you, and in fact, also can prove to you, that whatever your flaws are, if not engaged in hurting or used to harm another, is no where and not, criminalised in the Bible, not by Jesus and/or even not by Paul too.

If you're to look at lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender, as a flaw or weakness, then convert it, into a virtue or strength, by faithfully and devotedly have a lifetime lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender love with one person. After all, the ujnwachukwu of this world, ought to know that every human being is entitled to love another human being, be it a woman or a man, without prejudice, discrimination, feeling fear of life, restraint, social conditioning or obligation to conform.

To ujnwachukwu and the likes, respect other people's LGBT sexual orientation, even if you dont understand or it doesnt mean anything to you, it means a lot to them. Life Gets Better Together (LGBT), the moment we realise and recognise that every human being, regardless of sexual orientation leanings, deserves a safe and supportive environment to live in.

So to my dear fellow LGBTs, I say, accept your flaw, but at the same time, know your potential, to love. The love being in a two easy going, ordinary consenting adults, minding their own businesses enjoying a life long caring, faithful, committed, truthful, honest, loving each other, lasting that's a lifetime life-long and loyal same-sex relationship, that has no detriment to another person, no betrayal of another person, or no cheating on another person, and not harmful to an object or neighbour.

I have alway wished to be gentle in the face of opposition. I've always wished to be able to turn my left cheek when someone slapped my right. But the day I decide that I won't talk, some fools will decide to tempt me. So I run away from people but can I run away from family? So I'm always asking for forgiveness for who I am 100 times in a week.
God has not given us a spirit of fear, cowardice and timidity, but of power, love, self-discipline, self-control, sound mind, sound judgement and wise discretion.

Yes there are several belief out there over the normalcy of those given to LGBTQ, whereas I respect their choice of believe, but I have to humbly say the truth to those that is seeking for true help over this perverted sexual orientations, you are not born this way!!!. This is the primary truth you you must accept and settle in your heart before every other help you desire can be meaningful. If it is not Gods perspective, none else is valid.
luvmijeje:
It's not God's perspective?
According to the Bible written by men. How are those men different from those who have different perspective of what God's says.
Not according to the Bible written by men but according to the various translations written by men.

If we know that, all scripture is inspired by God, and that, translation of the bible into other languages from the original text is not inspired by God, then it therefore is fair comment to say that, all translations available today or before, whether OT or NT are not inspired and therefore as have always being pointed out, now and then, here and there, arent and/or cant have the claim of being inerrant

All arrogant fools. Each of you thinks you all know the mind of God. You know nothing. God is the totality of each of your perspective. I'm obviously also arrogant but I think I'm wiser than you all because I realize as a man I'm limited. God's unlimited.

ujnwachukwu ever after being "converted" and "conditioned" has turned to a sham, fake love and so adopted living a suppressed lie, though knowing fully well and deep down in him, that he finds same sex, as him, sexually attractive.

luvmijeje:
Love is accepting every single of your flaws. If you can't make peace with your flaws, you can never your fellow men.
ujnwachukwu, being gay is like being left handed. Just as some people are left handed, so, most people aren't. Nobody really knows why, except for, it's because we live in an imperfect world. It is not a matter of right or wrong here. It is a matter of thats just the way things are, and that, there is nothing abnormal in two easy going, ordinary consenting adults, minding their own businesses enjoying a life long caring, faithful, committed, truthful, honest, loving each other lasting that's life-long and loyal same-sex relationship, that has no detriment to another person, no betrayal of another person, or no cheating on another person, and not harmful to an object or neighbour

ujnwachukwu, having homosexual behaviour, as in the preceded, stated clearly and in detail, context, respect and/or circumstances, is no more abnormal than being lefthanded is, so accept your flaw, especially when it is not evil. Accept your difference, when it is not doing anybody harm and/or you arent harming others with it

ujnwachukwu, UyiIredia, bloodofthelamb, luvmijeje and others, is it possible, that love can be extraordinary, that there is love wonderful and passing the love of women? Of course, yes, for some, it is and it is biblical

If your conscience is so seared that what doesn't originally exist between animals can exist unchecked in your conscience and you are not concerned, I will have to say ride on with your supposedly same sex perversion or relationship as you call it.
Homosexuality, exists between animals, as a matter of fact, it has been observed in 1,500 animal species, however, homophobia is found in only one. This observation gives concerns, dont you think?

ujnwachukwu:
As loving as God is towards all men, don't be too quick to forget His other side. We know the origin of perversion sir and since you and your group of friends is holding tight to your belief, may it be unto you according to your belief. I pray His love will compel you into right living.

Revelation 22:11-12 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

Christianity Etc › Re: Who Said Angels Don't Have Sexual Feelings? by MuttleyLaff:
Ihedinobi3:
1. I'm not sure why you expect an equivalent "sons of men" but it does occur to me that the language in that passage was deliberately forcing a contrast between the "sons of God" and the "daughters of men". That is to say that the point was that it was "sons of God" that were in view rather than "sons of men" as might have been expected
First thing on the list, that needs to be unlearned is thinking that the sons of God is an exclusive title reserved only for angels and further that the same sons of God in Genesis 6:2 that went into the daughters of man are not angels but are righteous men of God, in the same and similar league, just as will, Job and his sons were. Related bible verses about Job and Job's sons being called "son" and "sons of God" will be provided on request

Ihedinobi3:
2. Again, I don't see why you expect a "daughters of God" here. The use of "daughters of men" coupled with the extra emphasis on increased population and human birth of these daughters appears to have been to make it unmistakable that the story was about human women rather than any other kind of female.
Oh, to the untrained and unsuspecting eye, that is what would appear to be the case

Most importantly, I dont know why and how you cant see the disparity in the phrase "sons of God" and "daughters of man"
In Genesis 6:1, you see it stated that "daughters" were born to human beings when same human beings began to multiply. Fast forward a bit, there suddenly is a departure from using the former "daughters" phrase, switching to using a different "daughters of man" phrase that enhanced the previously used "daughters" phrase.

Now, if there were "sons of God", there equally will be "daughters of God", just as, if there were "daughters of man", there equally also will be "sons of man". Obviously, the bible is clearly separating "daughters of man" from daughters" and making different "daughters of man" from daughters"

Afterall, the bible, in John 1:12, says:
"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God,
(i.e. she, daughters of God, as well) even to them that believe on his name
"

Aside John 1:12 above, now the question is, what is it about being "the sons/daughters of God"?
The major & key thing in the "the sons/daughters of God" expresssion, really, is about dependence
Dependence upon what? Dependence upon who? you'll ask
Well, whoever or whatever your dependence is upon, gives away, whether you're part of, or not part of "the sons/daughters of God"

As, any, whether angels or human beings, living in full dependence on God, are called "the sons/daughters of God"
Any, whether angel or human being, fully relying upon God, of own free will and so in glad submission, is called a "son/daughter of God"

Now, looking at Genesis 6:2, the bible made a statement of fact and reference to when sons of God saw the daughters of man that they were fair and they took them wives of all which they chose

Genesis 6:2, retold, in a simplified way, says, some sons of God, saw the daughters of God that they might be fair like the daughters of man are; but these sons of God, didnt take to, these daughters of God, as wives material, to chose from, rather these other sons of God, preferred the daughters of man, as wife material

When one, fast forwards to Genesis 6:8-9, moving on, away from Genesis 6:2, then a proper understanding of the situation in Genesis 6:2, unravels. Noah, as a son of God, had grace and with this grace/favour, he had the sense, to avoid "daughters of man" & stick to a "daughter of God" is what Genesis 6:8 is saying.

Genesis 6:9 corroboates Genesis 6:8, saying, Noah did the right thing (i.e. he was righteous) and that among the people of his time, he had sound, unblemished & without defect judgement (i.e. he was blameless). Also, that he didnt depart from walking habitually with God

Noah, was the only one, found in his generation, who was not keeping company with, not socialising with, getting into the pants of "daughters of man" As a son of God, he was the only one found not mixing with "unbelievers"


You do notice in the bible passage, that nephilims were already in the land, before the sons of God stating going into the daughters of man, hence increasing the numbers of Nephilim, dont you?

You also do realise Ihedinobi3, that even after the flood, the Nephilim gene did survive, dont you?

Ihedinobi3:
3. The connection of the Nephilim to the production of children from the union of the sons of God and the daughters of men seems to me to be unmistakable. It can hardly be explained why they were put together if the Nephilim were not these children themselves as you yourself went on to admit later in your post even if you still insisted that the sons of God were only male believers.
1When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them,
2the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose.
3Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide ina man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.”
4The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.
- Genesis 6:1-4

Please carefully watch Genesis 6:4 closely to notice that the Nephilim, who happened to be giants, were already on earth before the sons of God started mingling with the daughters of man. The Nephilim, were on earth before and continued to be after, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man

Ihedinobi3:
There are all kinds of myths, some of which truly are addressed by the Bible. But there is nothing that I see to suggest that Paul was referring to the Genesis 6 story. Nor do I see any reason to believe that Peter and Jude were speaking of anything different. How would anyone know that? Is there some other incident in the Bible that we can point to which they explain besides the Genesis Flood?
I am sorry Ihedinobi3, there is too much knowledge gap to patch or fill in here for you, so I am going to attempt to gauge the extent of what you know by asking a few questions, like:
1/ What do you know about the source(s) of Paul, Peter and Jude letters that got them concerned to write about myths and heresies?
2/ Do you know that Jude references and quotes from Peter when he writes?
3/ Do you know that Peter and Jude make references to or should I say quoted from non apocrypha and/or pseudepigrapha books, that rightfully are rejected to be in the bible?
4/ Do you know that what Peter and Jude quoted in that book is exactly what is being discussed and argued on this thread?
5/ How many apocrypha, non apocrypha and/or pseudepigrapha books have you so far read, that you are cocksure Paul wasnt referring to the Genesis 6 story and the heresies surrounding it?
6/ Can you give me a list and names of such books in #5 above that you've so far read, would you?

Ihedinobi3:
I already did in the comments that you referred to in your response to the OP. Genesis 6:1-2, 4; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 1:6-7
With this forthcoming comment, you have confirmed you have misunderstood what is going on with Genesis 6:1-2 and the heresy about it, that Peter had to comment on. Also Jude is parroting Peter and continuing on from it. Did you notice what Jude said at Jude 1:8? After Jude 1:6-7? Do you see his writing similarities with Peter? Or you never took any notice of his similarities with Peter?

Ihedinobi3:
If the Nephilim are the products of human parents albeit of differing attitudes to God, why were they important to mention in that chapter?
Brawn and brains. Nephilim represents brawn, sons of God represent brains. The Nephilim's physical strength in contrast to intelligence was important to mention and as them being well known for some bad quality or deed. Case in point Goliath etcetera.

Ihedinobi3:
I have not. Nor have I read anywhere in the Bible that they cannot physically appear to anyone since they do not represent God. Do you know of any such place or might you have interpreted a silence?
I haven't yet read anywhere in the bible of a celestial popping out and physically appearing looking like a human being on its own accord and without been sent on an errand by God or not in an official capacity. Celestial beings are law abiding, bad celestial know their limits

Ihedinobi3:
[4]He counts the number of the stars; He gives names to all of them.
Psalms 147:4 NASB

[14]"You were the anointed cherub who covers, And I placed you there. You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked in the midst of the stones of fire.
Ezekiel 28:14 NASB

In the first passage, clearly there is a fixed number of the angels.

In the second, the stones of fire were based on the same principle as Exodus 28:9-12, 17-21 and Revelation 2:17. The stones of fire were individual memorials of each angel before God. They were finite in number and they were all there at the same time that Satan was still the covering cherub.

No stretch of truth at all.
"But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,"
- Hebrews 12:22

"And I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, and of the living creatures, and of the elders;
and their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,
"
- Revelation 5:11

I'll let you have it though the bible says, angels are myriads, countless or innumerable just as seen above

Ihedinobi3:
What is the truth you speak of?
The fact that you spoke off, that angels cannot produce new generations of angels and that the creation of Nephilim which while clearly different from normal human beings in important respects are truly physical half-humans at least is the truth. Or are you now going to withdraw, retract and distance yourself from the statement because I interjected a remark that it is the truth?

Ihedinobi3:
I expect that you will explain this in your answers to my comments and questions above.
Read both Peter and Jude, you will see, they both were talking about those slandering celestial beings. Peter, even using a hypothetical "if" in his letter, should have made you realise this

Ihedinobi3:
I asked you enough already and explained what my position is in the post you responded to and you still haven't answered. That Peter and Jude and Paul were referring to some unnamed myth is no answer. That the Nephilim are pure human children only raises another big question. That angels never did what I believe the Bible said that they did is still no clarification of the issue.
Why you are hellbent on believing what the bible never said or never intended to say, is anyone's guess. I have said just about enough for you to give yourself permission to have a reset and rethink. Again, I offer, ask me any questions or clarification on any part of this subject matter, and God help me, as I truthfully respond

Ihedinobi3:
But I trust that you will clear things up now
I wish I was as sanguine as you are because you make it sound, like it is that easy to put right 16 years of PDP misrule within less than 4 years of APC governance. You seem to have forgotten, I said: "there are a lot of rot, that as we go along, needs being cleaned out."

Ihedinobi3:
First, just for the record, the above is what I mean by your presenting "questions" or even "comments" in an antagonistic way.
I am sorry and apologise to you if you usually find my comments and action of asking someone to be full on for your liking or take

I remember you being delicate and/or sensitive and that you dont have a thick skin as much as I do, so believe me when I say, as much as I'd love to mollycoddle, I rather be a honest arsehole than a well liked liar

Ihedinobi3:
It is hard to respond to the above in a friendly manner because it is overtly insulting.
I am not sure why you are taking offence. It wasnt to be taken personal and it wasn't intended to be malicious.

To be truthful, I honestly thought you, wrote you'd argue, and that's is why I brought in the ignorance slant. Not many know that, an argument an exchange of ignorance, whereas, discussions, are exchanges of knowledge, correct and useful information. So I merely was making an observational comment, but if it came too strong and you felt insulted by it, then again I tender my profuse apologies, and I've come to realise some of us have low thresholds

Truth will always be truth, regardless of lack of understanding, disbelief or ignorance. The truth about the nephilim will always be the truth even if you or anyone else dont want believe it.

Ihedinobi3:
Perhaps I really am exchanging ignorance for ignorance but why would I accept your judgment on that?
If a crooked stick is put before anyone, you need not convict them how crooked it is. Just lay a straight one down by the side of it, and the work is well done. Explain the truth, and the error of the way will be put out

Ihedinobi3:
I am presenting matters as I see them in the Bible and as I have learned from someone that is gifted and prepared as a Bible teacher too.
Perhaps you now need to be reminded that, growth, comes by pruning.

You are not presenting matters at all, on the other hand. What you merely did is arrogate to yourself the right to call a judgment on what I have said. If you had bothered to show some Bible passage that indicates that my knowledge of this matter is either nonexistent or incomplete, that would be different. But rather you consider yourself a sufficient judge to make pronouncements to which you seem to me to think that I am responsible to yield for some reason. If I refuse to yield, you would only heap more abuse on top of the above. And how can I bear such a thing for too long without wanting to fight back?
Ihedinobi3, I never abuse. I just say things as they are. I call a spade a spade and dont call a spade a fork. I dont mince my words Ihedinobi3, especially not when talking with heavyweight people like you, maybe that is why you erroneously perceive me to be insulting and/or abusive to you

Ihedinobi3, I know a thick skin is a gift from God, so just pray for a tough hide, if you havent already developed one. It is so important because you are going to be mocked, ridiculed, misunderstood, laughed at, your comments made fun of, take the mick out of, insulted, abused etcetera

Ihedinobi3:
That is why I may seem not to want to engage with you. It is only the Lord God Who knows the heart but I accepted you as a brother believer in Jesus Christ, so I would always seek peace with you even when we don't agree on some things. After all, we only know and see in part for now because of the bodies of sin that we must endure for now. If we maintain peace in love with each other, in time, the Lord will make everything plain and reconcile the incoherence in our differing understandings of all matters.
God bless you too much for your kind, mature, wise words and understanding. Believe me when I say there is no malice. I will be more careful with my choice of words, whenever and when next I respond to posts you have interest in. This actually is déjà vu for me

Ihedinobi3:
Now, I say that only because I believe that we share a fundamental belief that the Lord Jesus is God Who became Man to die for all of our sins on the Cross so that we can be saved. There are people who claim to be Christians who do not believe that at all. I do not feel any need to be at peace with them especially when they deliberately spread their lies where I have spiritual responsibility or when they feel the need to seek me out and talk to me. I avoid them unless I absolutely need to call them out to protect other believers. Then there are antichristians too who are not shy to present themselves as such. I do not treat them as brothers either.
Ihedinobi3, there is more that binds us together, than holds us apart

Ihedinobi3:
So, consider that your attitude may be in some need of adjustment. As much as I seek peace with you as a brother in the Faith, I am not under any law to either obey you or to respond to you when you act in such a manner as you do with comments like the above..
I got carried away, so I fully give you the right lambaste me

Ihedinobi3:
I am willing to be corrected wherever I need it although I am not willing to be dictated to. Feel free to call my attention to anything you think I am getting wrong but only on the authority of the Bible not merely on your strong feelings about anything. I am not responsible to you after all, only to the Lord, in fact.
I sure have no intention to dictate to you or anyone. If you have the stamina and you are going to be true to your word, I will lay down on the ground the straight stick and put down a bowl of water but obviously cant force you to drink. It is going to be a bible verse upon bible verse, line upon line, a little here, and a little over there marathon affair. Be prepared and willing to unlearn whatever you've erroneously known nephilims to be, what "sons of God" etcetera to be.

Ihedinobi3:
In Genesis 6, the sons of God are said to have found the daughters of men so beautiful that they took wives from among them and "went in to them" so that they had children for them who were the Nephilim. This is what the Bible says. Now, we may have some mild debate about who the "sons of God" are here but not about why they took wives from among human women or whether they "went in to them" or had children by them. The language concerning those latter things is unmistakable. Those sons of God were interested in the beauty of the human women. Their choosing wives from among them had to do with sexual desire as much as with any other motive they may have had and going in to them most definitely involved relations which produced children.
If there are daughters of men, have you ever asked the questions:
1/ Who are the equivalent sons of men, as there are sons of God?
2/ What's the difference between the daughters of men and the daughters of God?
3/ Where the nephilims already on earth or not before the sons of God started going into the daughters of men?

Ihedinobi3:
Additionally, the verses from Jude clearly parallel the actions of some angels with the sexual depravity of Sodom and Gomorrah making it further impossible to debate that not only is this a sexual event but that the sons of God were unquestionably angels, rebellious ones albeit.
"Don't pay any attention to any of those senseless Jewish stories"
- Titus 1:14a

You are conflating multiple separate incidents here Ihedinobi3, as what happened in Genesis 4:2-6 is quite different to what happened with Sodom and Gomorrah's Genesis attempted rape. It is also different to where Peter and Jude were talking about the same myth being discussed and argued upon on this thread. It is not only Peter and Jude warning against Jewish myths about angels having sex with human beings, even Paul too, warned Titus in Titus 1:14a above earlier reproduced, not to believe in them

Ihedinobi3:
This is what we actually read in the Bible. The only way we can escape what is otherwise so clear is to divorce the witness of Jude and Peter from Genesis and that would leave us completely adrift with no clear understanding what the latter are referring to or to what the Flood was about. In fact, it is impossible to separate Jude from Peter or Peter from Genesis. The three are obviously the same picture.
I am so sorry to be the one saying to you that you've got hold of the wrong end of the stick here. You completely got wrong what Peter and Jude were messaging in their chapters. Peter and Jude wrote their letters combating heresies and talking exactly against the same myth being discussed and argued upon on this thread.

Ihedinobi3:
This is not merely Ihedinobi3's feverish imagination or some concoction
of ignorance meant to offend anybody's sensibilities. It is what the Bible actually says.
What may I ask, is it that the bible actually says? Produce what it is the bible is appeared to have said and let's with great care, thoroughness and in all its entirety examine it together.

Ihedinobi3:
For what it is worth, I have on this very forum argued against what I have said here too before. It did offend my sensibilities to imagine that angels had relations with human women. It continued to for a long time. Even now I am simply refusing to listen to my emotions about it since the Bible is unquestionably clear to me here. I would rather it say something different but it does not and I am insisting on believing the actual witness it makes rather than what I rather wish that it said.
You shouldnt listen to your emotions anyway in this regard, it is the head that needs listened to, in order to see, in this respect, clearly what the bible is telling and saying

Ihedinobi3:
As for the Nephilim, there is no question that they were important here. The Nephilim are the true backstory from which the human race developed the concept of "supermen", human beings with extraordinary abilities that astounded the world. The very teaching about the Antichrist and the witness in Genesis 3 that he will be Satan's literal seed even buttresses the fact that such people are possible. These are not mere human inventions but biblical teachings. In other words, if I just listed passages, I wouldn't need to say a single word of my own to make it clear that this is what the Bible is saying. What I do say is to help those who are untrained to see the connections which are ordinarily unmistakable but which would be hidden to those who are still learning to trust the Bible.
Simply put, the nephilims are the product of when the righteous men (i.e. sons of God) had sex with daughters of the unrighteous men (i.e. daughters of men). The rest of the gist is beyond the scope of this thread

Ihedinobi3:
That is not altogether false. It is true that very many of us give Satan and his cohorts too much credit. But it is not impossible to give him too little credit. And we are warned against both extremes in the Bible. Insisting on either will lead us to dispensing with the Bible and falling into Satan's trap in the end.
This is exactly part of what Peter, Jude and Paul in their individual letters and by proxy to us were warning about

Ihedinobi3:
I know of no place in the Bible that teaches this. Perhaps you can show me if you do know such a place and we can begin to reconcile our views from there.
Have you ever read of a physical appearance of satan and/or a demon to anyone in the bible ever?

Ihedinobi3:
I do agree that it does appear that angels in general are not allowed to make themselves visible to us. The reason seems obvious judging from how such great believers as Daniel and John could not resist worshiping them when they showed themselves to them. Their power and glory is hard to ignore for us. If the rebel angels were not under a similar embargo, doubtless many believers would have been seduced away from the Faith just by seeing them.

But I think it is stretching it to say that angels ONLY appear physically when/if they are representing God. Obviously, the rebel angels can and have violated other ground rules - and undoubtedly suffered severe punishment for it - so it is not impossible for them to violate this one too even if it would be at such great risk to themselves.
OK. Again, I repeat, show me, somewhere in the bible, of a stated physical appearance of satan and/or a demon to anyone ever

Ihedinobi3:
I think that it is obvious that angels were not designed to procreate among themselves. Their number has always been fixed since they were all created at once.
Now its you learning to stretch the truth here. The bible never says the number of angels are fixed. What bible says about angels, is that they are innumerable, as in meaning, they cant be counted.

Ihedinobi3:
But the fact that angels cannot produce new generations of angels does not really have anything to do with the creation of Nephilim which while clearly different from normal human beings in important respects are truly physical half-humans at least.
You dont know with this emboldened comment, how so close to the truth you are

Ihedinobi3:
We don't know how the angels were able to do what they did but it is not inconceivable since angels are far more knowledgeable and far more powerful than normal human beings. Our inability to understand these things is neither a mistake on God's part nor an excuse to reject what is clearly said: namely, that angels went in to human women and produced Nephilim as a result.
Angels did nothing, angels did no such thing. This is what Peter, Jude and Paul were warning against, the belief in the ridiculous, belief in myths. This is not true, and so is slander. This is slandering angels.

Ihedinobi3:
As I have said, I have done my best to follow the Bible here. I always do that because of what I anticipate before the Judgment Seat of Christ. As much as I would rather that you and I agreed on this, I would sooner agree with the Word of Truth and be rewarded by the Lord Jesus for doing so than agree with you and be shamed and rebuked by Him for failing in Faith.
"... Bold and self-willed, these men are unafraid to slander angelic majesties."
- 2 Peter 2:10b

I am sorry Ihedinobi3, it is with a heavy heart that I posted 2 Peter 2:10b up there for you to see and it hurts me more than it will ever hurt you

Ihedinobi3:
So, if you feel persuaded that the Bible says something different, I respect your feeling about it and will not debate it with you. It is between you and the Lord. But if you mean to discuss it, I would encourage you to seek out and confirm biblical reasons for holding the view that you do as I have done and endeavor to keep doing with all things.
Ihedinobi3, I've been here, sold it, done it and have the "angels have sexual feelings" souvenir t-shirt I bought. There are quite a few many so-called truths we were raised with and forced to believe, that are not truths at all, so, yeah, I am willing to discuss, up to certain points, everything. You will have to be prepared to go the distance, because they there are a lot of rot, that as we go along, needs being cleaned out. Ask me any questions or clarification on any part of this subject matter, and God help me, as I truthfully respond

Believe me Ihedinobi3, I know with God's help, what I bring to the table, and trust me when I say, if need be, I am not afraid to eat alone

Your beliefs are wonderful mental assertion, but doesn't have a foundation in the Genesis of marital relationship as God instituted it. Your "how" of loving is not consistent with the nature and character of God who is love personified in Jesus Christ. Gods word is what governs our understanding of life and belief and not what we rationalised it to be. I will have to admit we see and belief differently. Even after the fall of man and the recorded destruction of the first human race, we saw the pair which God instructed to be taken male and female. Lets not be brainwashed into perverseness and call it HOW to love. I pray we all come to the light of this truth by humbling our hearts to hear Him for ourselves.
ujnwachukwu, since you refused to answer the which is superior question, maybe you will redeem yourself by answering this question I famously ask:
1/ What is your gripe with two easy going, ordinary consenting adults, minding their own businesses enjoying a life long caring, faithful, committed, truthful, honest, loving each other lasting that's life-long and loyal same-sex relationship, that has no detriment to another person, no betrayal of another person, or no cheating on another person, and not harmful to an object or neighbour?
2/ What is the evil, in what the two easy going, ordinary consenting adults in #1 above, have together?
3/ What is the perverseness, in #1 above, that you know of, that is in this particular and peculiar form of relationship?
4/ We saw the pair which God instructed to be taken male and female but do we see Him, at all, give two easy going, ordinary consenting adults, minding their own businesses enjoying a life long caring, faithful, committed, truthful, honest, loving each other lasting that's life-long and loyal same-sex relationship, that has no detriment to another person, no betrayal of another person, or no cheating on another person, and not harmful to an object or neighbour a bad press ujnwachukwu?

Maamin:
I remembered that MuttleyLaff and I debated this Angel and Daughters of men sexual relation vivdly last year.

The scripture is Crystal and none arguably clear on this matter. Though angels are spirit beings but that does not rule out the fact that they possess the sexual desire like other created beings (humans and animals alike).

We humans have physical limitations in our present human nature. That can't be said for the angels who were originally spirit beings created to be higher than us in every sense of existence.

If in our physical form and nature we can influence the spiritual, why do you think angels in their spirit forms can't influence the physical too?

The mind bugging question is that 'can angels still cohabit with other race of living things in this present day?
On that thread just like ihedinobi3 here, you were blindly and poorly arguing that angels have sexual desires. You were mistaken nephilims in Genesis 6:2-4 and elsewhere, like in the book of Job, to be angels.

Angels only take human forms when on assignment from God. Except being on official assignment, celestial beings never take on form that look or resembles human beings. This is part of the reasons, why no one has ever seen physically Satan or seen a demon. I repeat that only human beings were given the mandate to procreate, never celestial beings also known as angels.
Christianity Etc › Re: Who Said Angels Don't Have Sexual Feelings? by MuttleyLaff:
solite3:
those angels had those desires because they were already fallen because the bible plainly stated that angels do not marry. The nature of fallen angels has ready been corrupted due to their rejection of God.
Angels do not have sexual desires does not mean they can't develop it if they are fallen.
Ihedinobi3:
"Do not marry" is not the same as "do not possess sexual desire" or "do not have sex". I am not willing to argue that the elect angels do possess sexual libido or have sex since the Bible does not say explicitly that they do. But it does not explicitly say that they don't either so I wouldn't argue as you do either. That is what I mean by staying with what the Bible actually says.
Ihedinobi3, you've probably times without number, heard me say, I dont do arguments. Arguments or arguing over a matter, 110% stems from ignorance and opinions, it always is bereft of facts or factual information because of conjectures and subjectivity. This is why I dont do arguments, like you are doing here exchanging ignorance for another ignorance, mainly I havent got an ignorance to trade with. If I am not sure of a subject matter, I will remain and keep mum, as opposed to exhibiting and looking to trade with my ignorance

Ihedinobi3:
As I often say, I try to stay with what the Bible actually says. I try to do that even when it is uncomfortable or unpopular. Because the Bible I always true even when men's ideas and idiosyncrasies, however vehement, are false.

The Bible seems clear and undeniable to me in saying that sexual desire and sexual intercourse did in fact happen between the angels and the human women in Genesis 6. It is something I didn't like to think either but it doesn't seem arguable to me in the end.

And I see no reason to believe that angels need to be born in order for them to be able to have sexual intercourse with human beings. If the Bible says that they did without suggesting any kind of human birth (something I wonder at), then I certainly believe that they did without being born.
Well you are NOT adhering to this rule of yours about staying with what the bible actually says because there is no where in the bible where it states that angels have sexual appetite or sexual libido. Also no where in the bible, is it stated that angels have sexual desire. The notion hat sexual intercourse did in fact happen between the angels and the human women is completely and utterly wrong, il-informed and a total fallacy. How you misconstrued the nephilims in Genesis 6 and extrapolated Genesis 6:2-4 to be angels is outrageously baffling and scandalous

Sometimes, we give Satan and especially, like in this case, his angels (i.e. demons), way too much credit. Imagine fallen angels having sex with human beings. Who dash angels monkey banana? I am sorry that is a bad pun so excuse it Ihedinobi3

To start with, after their rebellion, Satan & his fallen angels, lost whatever abilities they might have had, to appear in physical human forms period. Angels can ONLY appear in physical human forms and perform all permissible fleshly activities, if and/or when representing God. Anything less than being in that official capacity, automatically renders such beings, ineligible from having rights to appear as a human being to perform whatever permissible fleshly activities allowed. It just for such beings, wont happen

Also whats important to know, is that, angels, never had, havent any mandate to procreate, that mandate was given to human beings, not and never to angels

Ihedinobi3, kkins25, solite3 and others, you've all learned something completely worthless from whoever taught you all that nonsense, especially, in the case of the fact and truth, that they are no celestial beings (i.e. angels) involved anywhere in Genesis 6:2-4

kkins25, I humbly and respectfully say this that, you must be half clever and half crazy to open and write a thread full of hogwash, no facts at all, just speculation, sexual fantasies and littered with other sex addiction mumbo jumbo you can muster up

The only real and solid fact in your write up and the only thing you got right, is saying angels are humanoid. Now if you know, accept and agree that angels are humanoid, as in, having an appearance resembling a human being without actually being one, meaning they look like human beings without actually being human beings, then what gave you the crazy, reckless and obsessive idea that angels have peniis, huh?

kkins25, you, since I ever can remember, have always been fascinated with angels and them having sex with human beings. Why?

Dont you realise kkins25, that, angels will first, have to be born, just like Jesus was, either as male or female, in order for them to have any chance to have sex with humans? That hasnt happened yet, has never happened, is yet to happen, so your bizarre, far-fetched theory gets shot down in flames. This applies to others like solite3 and even Ihedinobi3, whom, I am surprised he too bought into this angels having sex bullshit.

Sodom and Gomorrah was pencilled and earmarked for destruction even before their attempted "rape" of the angels, so the attempted rape wasnt part of the original reason why the destruction punishment was mete on them. The attempted rape, just proven how bad and inhospitable these people have become. They are not welcoming or generous to strangers who visit, instead they are cruel and wicked to them and/or visitors.
