You are correct MM. Jesus is the only innocent one. I hope God takes the babies with Him, but regardless of whether people agree with His decisions, or not, it will have NO bearing on what He does.
I think those left behind in the rapture, will vastly outnumber the ones taken in the rapture, as only true Christians will be raptured. Those left behind, will be in DEEP trouble.
They can't say they weren't warned. IT'S ON THEM.
Remember the men of Ninevah. Remember the Queen of Sheba. They will rise up in the judgment of this gestation, and condemn it. (Matt 12:41-42)
Salamat. I have to keep improving, or Elsie and MHG will leave me in the dust :-)
Or don't you believe that is true either?
When I was a Catholic, eons ago, I was in Catholic school religion class. Most of the time, I was too busy looking at the girls, instead of paying attention. One time, however, I remember the priest said he thought the Flood was just a local thing, covering Israel, and maybe part of Jordan, Syria and Saudi Arabia. I actually believed that drivel.
Now that I am an ex Catholic, I know it was a world wide event.
I have heard estimates, that maybe 150 million people may have been killed in the Flood. That's a lot of "innocent" people. Oops, sorry, only Jesus was innocent.
I don't know why God did that, but He has His reasons. I am not sure if it was related to the nephilim. ,
Rome says "Jump!" and told it's members to never ask WHY?
True; it is what Rome has called it.
NOWHERE in those quotes does Jesus say...
Kool-Aid was invented by Edwin Perkins in Hastings, Nebraska. All of his experiments took place in his mother's kitchen. Its predecessor was a liquid concentrate called Fruit Smack. To reduce shipping costs, in 1927, Perkins discovered a way to remove the liquid from Fruit Smack, leaving only a powder.
WOW, right out of the bible that Rome assembled, but now claims is not sufficient!
2 Thessalonians 2:1-3
1 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us - whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter - asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Don't let anyone deceive you in any way...
Matthew 24:40-41
Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left.
Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left.
1 Thessalonians 5:21
Douay-Rheims Bible
But prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
Said the publican while standing in dust;
“I’ve been told I should do things, ‘I must!’”
Take a drink from a priest;
(A good, Holy feast!);
“In the teachings of Rome, you can trust.”
The book that the Catholics assembled (they got THIS part from the Jews) said they were around in those days.
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days - and also afterward - when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
5 The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. 6 The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the Lord said, "I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created - and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground - for I regret that I have made them."
8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.
It does NOT say the GIANTs mated with the Humans; it merely says they were on the earth. ??? So; just WHO are the sons of God and the daughters of humans??? The BOOK says: Let Us create Man in Our image. So there you get some 'sons of God'; right?? The BOOK also says, in Genesis 5:3-4 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. 4 After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. These things happened BEFORE Genesis chapter 6....
You speak vacuously ... Jesus SAID the why ... “In remembrance of me (Jesus)
Giants are not souls.
Jesus axtually addressed that issue when a young man came to Him wanting to know how to gain eternal life. The clue is found in what Jesus told His disciples as the young man walked away without maki9ng the choice to follow Jesus because he said he needed to still bury his father. Jesus delineates two states of 'dead' ...
The Rich Young Ruler (Matthew 19:16-30; Mark 10:17-31)
18And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 19And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God. 20Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother. 21And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up. 22Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. 23And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich. 24And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! 25For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 26And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved? 27And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
28Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee. 29And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, 30Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
AND (btw), this copy and paste PROVES the Satanic influence on the internet because there are no *&@#% stupid marks for an apostrophe !!!
If it is the same event depicted, I was thinking of the scene as given in Luke 9:58 - 60
Noah had physical entities, Jesus describes spiritual states of physical entities
humbly ... Frank (knarf)
In the passage from Luke, Jesus shows us that there are alive bodies (the behavior mechanism and body are still living connected, and there are also dead bodies with dead souls, inferring that without The Holy Spirit in the human soul, the soul is dead.
I was obliquely referring tot he possibility that the 'ginats' may have had living bodies and soul attached, but without Holy Spirit Life in the soul these giant souls would be 'dead ghiants walking'. Yje offspring of the Angels may well have souls but no spirit component, thus they would not have what even an unregenerate human has, a soul with a spirit component that is without God-life in the spirit. Such an human would be dead, spiritually, even if alive in body. Whereas these 'giants' might not even have a spirit component in their souls.
Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
He builded him an arc, just before it pored.
The giants were around
But hardly made a sound
Two by two he watched them all come aboard.
Because it seemed like Noah brought two giants in as well
Now that I've REALLY read that comment ... I see it is a song lyric
What DID you mean, Mark ?
None of the promises made by these apparitions are supported by the Word. It is why Christians reject these false teaching on mary.
Or He could let some Mohammedans take over commercial flights and ram them into public buildings, or government structures, or just into the ground, and cause thousands of deaths. Or He could allow some very ingenious scientists, mathematicians, and engineers to create a nuclear device to bomb cities, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths, so as to forestall the greater tragic deaths of millions of invaders as well as defending residents of a homeland, thus finally ending a war that had already killed millions of humans in the world He had created and populated.
TC, this line of theology of yours doesn't make sense any more than other approaches your reasoning has brought you to, and miserably failed at.
The God of Heaven is not ultimately concerned about our physical death, for all humans will die physically. What He is concerned about is that humans already under condemnation will deny His plan for eternal life for their spirits and souls, and follow Satan--the Devil, the god of this world--and his lies into Hell an the Lake of Fire forever.
Let's cut through your excuses and get real, pal, OK? We're not concerned about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. We who have become bond-slaves of God's Holy Anointed Begotten Son have been given the duty of announcing His Plan of Salvation from Sin as a master and sinfulness as the only outcome of their lives, by reconciliation with God the Father through faith alone in the exculpatory Blood of Christ alone, according to His Written Testimony alone.
Don't you wonder why these kind people have not yet gotten tired of your foolish agitation, and just gotten weary of combating your insane religion and given up on debating? It is because of patience and gracious forbearance like that of their Father, and His long-suffering patience with you inanity.
But beware. There will be an end to it if you persist unto the death of your body, which could come any time, and you slip from the skillet into the flames. After that, there is no return.
Now, your nonsensical reasonings have for several days stirred up this thread which was otiginally meant for the discussion of evangelical Christians concerning the sealing and security of the Holy Ghost, and turned their attention away from God to be consumed upon your worn-out religion and your interjection of its false claims. Isn't that a kind of selfish and childish behavior? Come on, and reason together with true, truthful God-honoring use of the mind and heart. Though your sins be scarlet, you can be forgiven and your record can be white as snow, if you will just release hold onto your "good works" as being necessary for paying any part of your passage to eternal union with God.
The rest of us have heeded the command to "touch not the unclean thing." Why not you?
