I believe the fallen angels were examples of greak mythologey gods, as sons of god pridefull and rebellious hateing man already and taking advantage of the powers and strentgh of angles that are 9 feet tall
Brent 1 Cor. 15:39-40 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
St. Luke 13:30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.
St. Mark 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
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. Gen 6:4 (when the sons of God) Adam (came in unto the daughters of men) whom God had created on the sixth day of eternity Gen 6:7 (for it repenteth me that I have made them.) 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. Gen 6:12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. Main articles: Captain goes down with the ship and Sinking of the RMS Titanic. Remember this captain smith (titanic) issued a public challenge to God and over 1,500 people lost their lives. Of Corse there�s a perfectly good explanation for how it happened. Gods work is real, no magic; but magical Miracles do happen; but if you want to spend your days explaining how. Jesus spoke of that place prepared for you. St. Matt 24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. But don�t take God away from your children. Gen 6:22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
In answer to the questions about Genesis 6:17..and what about fish in the arc, the answer is in the text! " destroy all flesh wherein is the breath of life: from under heaven and everything that is in the Earth... Fish and underwater creatures would not be described as having BREATH of life?..and in the EARTH may be referring to dry land....
@Ronald Allen, . (regards to Jubilees), . I get 7000 years from the birth of Adam till judgement (by a different route I think) but it seems (since prophecy is foggy anyway) , That in the way I get there, we are in the last 1000 years, we are that generation.
The Bible does not elaborate. However, if you ever saw some fishermen's boats, they have live wells. I think there is reason to believe that God did not require ALL water creatures in the ark. Even so, some may not have been adult animals yet, which would allow them to be smaller and easier to manage. Don't worry - God knew what He was doing!
So were there fish tanks on the ark? I don't see how salt water and fresh water fish could both survive otherwise. And if that's a miracle why not just have all animals survive miraculously?
(the lord said my spirit will not always strive with man)I've been fortunate enough to have the presence of the spirit of god in me for many months and then not. what its means to me in my life is that god is showing me or reminding me that he's the light, not me
its curious that some of the fish of the sea uses Breath) oxygen to survive. And yet He only destroyed those creatures that could not survive in water. Verse 17
Since God is full of grace and mercy, he has lots of patience with mankind. He doesn't always send his wrath upon disobedience right way. He gives mankind time to repent. But eventually God says enough is enough.
This is in response to 9/06/2013, 5:40pm - Comment by "Ben" about Genesis Chapter 6: All flesh must be destroyed with the earth because God have seen that they corrupted their ways upon the earth. But it doesn't mean that animals are corrupt too. In fact, God instructed Noah to save each kind of them by pairs. But since all human being should be destroyed therefore other things upon the face of the earth would be affected in that process. Except those that God had chosen to save with Noah who was found grace in God's sight.
Given careful consideration, the first few verses of Genesis 6 are among the most disturbing verses to be found. It's enough to rock your whole process for a moment. What happens here affects you directly and personally to this very day.
Ojerinde gbenga gabriel. on Genesis 6 - 11 years ago
there has been controversy about the offsprings of the marriage between sons of god and daughters of men. People concluded too soon that the offsprings were giants. This is misinterpretation. According to gen.6 there were giants in those days and the offsprings were mighty men. Might is not measurable through muscles. An intelligent man can also be regarded as mighty. Therefore,these mighty men were those whose wisdom was like that of god. They had the intellectual capability to unravel mysteries. They were the great thinkers of old,and not necessarily giants.
Everyone who claims to FULLY understand all of the bible stories is a liar and is not seeking TRUTH or peace. Whatever God literally is, He is so far greater than our minds can comprehend. We NEED to seek first the kingdoms (government, order & organization of how the things of God work) and all the rest shall be given, we don't NEED to claim to know how old the whole earth is, or wether or not there were other beings or what those beings actually were, we just need to absorb the general "way things work" and understand the way God runs His kingdom. Details are unnecessary and cause strife. We get distracted & cause doubt. It's not what Jesus told us to do.
I truly believe in the word of God as it is written!! If one is truly saved by the grace of our Lord and Savior JESUS Christ all word that is inspired of God will be revealed in a timely manner to that individual without some else's interpretation through the Comforter who is the Holy Ghost! These things that occurred many a year ago shows that God perfection and his absolute as the supreme ruler of the universe that he spoke into existence. also, his determination to preserve the purity of the jewish linage of Christ maternal side(earthy)by eradicating the fallen ones goal of contaminating his jewish heritage .
So much error has been caused by the mishandling of these scriptures. Honestly, it is this passage that is my litmus test when discerning if someone has read and understood the Bible. The Nephilim were the children of angels and humans. The Demi-Gods of Crete. It's like the whole world has amnesia. Look at Egypt! How can you understand the Bible at all if you do not understand the wars of the old testament, the genealogies,the dna mixing of beasts with men, which is coming again better check out the trans humanism movement. As in the days of Noah....
To discern God�s word one must get to know his creation here on earth in one�s own sphere of existence. Genesis says so much and discerning his creation and Noah�s flood to remove the wickedness of man by removing wickedness of life outside the ark. Satan and his band of rogue angels are pestering God and looking for a fight with a big reward at the end. Spirits (angels) jealous of men of flesh and blood come on! A reasoning body of flesh and spirited soul can figure out what is going on. Giants and evil demons and devils in those days thanks to the daughters of men (not really helpmates) and fallen angels would have ended man in short order. God�s word is for man not angels, demons, giants, lost cause hybrids.
I am stuck on the effects and consequence of the daughters of men and fallen angels of having intercourse pushing aside men has on life today. I see Noah�s flood a consequence. The death of giants has brought us demons and devils. I am trying to see the real picture.
And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.*** This is contrary to Genesis 1:31
"God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent:"
It seems like a Discrepancy ?
St. Luke 13:30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.
St. Mark 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
the light, not me
