Can you explain why the angels screwed around with our babes and gave us a batch of “giants”?

How come there are no female angels for men to get?

Since angels are able to become corporeal, could they have become female as well as male?

Were the angels the Original Sexist?

There’s no record of Adam saying anything to Eve about the tree of knowledge, only God warning Adam about it.

The record also seems to show Adam was with Eve when she was deceived and took the fruit of the glory of self-effort. It appears Adam failed to warn Eve as God warned Adam, and he failed to protect her from the serpent .

Same old story. As true today as it was then. The lethal, self-destructive women’s’ movement and men applauding the whole way.

Adam wasn’t but went along with it anyway.

Because he was thinking with the wrong head. The moral of the story is the same as the line from the movie D.C.CAB.

"Don't let your d*ck ruin your life"

>> “Can you explain why the angels screwed around with our babes and gave us a batch of ‘giants’?” <<

As the word says: They were comely.

>> “How come there are no female angels for men to get?” <<

Because angels are “Sons of Yehova.” (special individual creations, not intended to reproduce)

>> “Since angels are able to become corporeal, could they have become female as well as male?” <<

They are corporeal, but are not a part of Space-time, thus must emit an image to be seen in space-time. They apparently can control that image.

Well, once we’ve said “Hey, that is a bad idea and here is why” and suffered the withereing response, our job is done.
At least until it is time to clean up afterwards.

**Adam was deceived by an amateur, Eve by a pro.**

I like that.

Something like that.

That “image” is real enough to eject sperm and corrupt the resulting offspring to be different from human.

The word is silent on the question of how they reproduced, so it is best not to go there.

” best not to go there.”

Yeah, that’s what I thought. Same answer I got from the Nuns at Catechism. I’m 76 years old, Catholic High School, Catholic College, and still getting non-answers.

“It’s a Mystery, accept it on Faith. And if you don’t, it’s Hell for you!”

Rant over, no need to reply. Thanks for your patience and attempt to educate me. My frustration is not directed to you. I am thank full that some, such as yourself, have been able to find the answers that I have not been able to find.

Thanks, Salvation.

**Adam was deceived by an amateur, Eve by a pro.**

I think Eve was less responsible for the ‘fall of man’ than Adam! Eve was tricked by the ‘Deceiver, the Father of Lies’. She had little possibility of resisting the evil serpent’s temptations, for the serpent possessed a far more superior nature than hers; so, thus he had every advantage during their encounter in Eden - call it a mismatch. By contrast, Adam was Eve’s inferior counterpart!

Adam? Oy vey, What a schmuck!! Eve told Adam that she had eaten the ‘forbidden fruit’, and instead of tossing her out of Eden, Adam responded with something truly brilliant like, “Duh, well, okay honey, then I’ll eat it too.”

One of the lessons Paul taught regarding the deception of Eve.

IICorinthians 11:

1Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.

2For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

3But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

4For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

God directly told Adam to stay from the devil, and Adam directly disobeyed..

Now Adam and Eve did not party with the devil in an apple orchard, they partied in a fig grove... Christ commanded us to learn the parable of the ‘fig’ tree. How many parties has anyone attended and ate an apple and then sewed ‘fig’ leaves together because that ‘fruit’ made you realize you were naked?

Eve was first, therefore Eve was weakest.

The hypothetical question here is "If Adam had not eaten would mankind still have fallen?"

It was politically incorrect enough that even i could understand it and it is right on.

That does seem to be the assumption.

Mark 12:15
for when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

This is just my assumption on it,
but Angels obviously do not marry

The answers to your questions are the most ‘hidden’ from plain sight in the whole of the WORD... The book of Jude describes theses that rebelled with the devil. And Christ said that to ‘see’ the kingdom of God one must be born from above... The devil and a numbered ‘fallen’ rebels have already been judged to death... But guess what, they are going to get tossed out of heaven along with the devil to deceive all but the elect... WHY, because the majority accept the PC explanation shoveled out by the preacher class...

In Genesis 6, they are called the Sons of God... why? because they are in angelic bodies, but they left heaven and seduced women in an attempt to pollute the blood line to Christ... That is why God sent Noah and his family, to build an ark while these and their offspring, that defied God were destroyed. Flesh bodies that is... these ‘Sons of God’ refused to take this flesh journey and they are still working for the devil.

When God formed the Adam, it is said he was made in the image of God... Then God performed the first surgical procedure and removed that ‘curve’ and formed woman.

The phrase ‘fig leaf’ to this day means ‘hidden’...

Since there was no need for pigmented skin, I’m guessing they were albinos. Its amazing what I learn from the wise sages at FR.

Adam loved Eve, and I’m convinced would do anything for her, even to accept joining her in the curse of sin.

The “second Adam” loved humanity so much that he would do anything necessary to remove the curse of sin.
