Nope.
That’s my take on this matter as well.
THANKS for your kind words.
Wow.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh . . .
I see . . . said the blind man.
Great points.
Is it your habit to put God and His Word in tiny tidy unfitting little boxes?
See posts #197-199 above.
Sounds like you have an assumption that the Nephilium—100% of the fallen angels that fell with satan—were ON THE EARTH IN PHYSICAL FORM AND BOUND TO THE EARTH IN PHYSICAL FORM such that 100% of them drowned in the flood.
SCRIPTURE does NOT say that in any shape, form or degree.
ASSUMPTIONS, inferences and extrapolations are hazardous.
How do you figure that?
Or November 4th 2008.;-)
It is an easily and often overlooked point (by myself and others) but weren't the Nephilim the hybrid offspring (giants) of the fallen angels and human females?
“Is it your habit to put God and His Word in tiny tidy unfitting little boxes?”
No, but I think you are really reaching here.
The point of the flood was to get rid of the present evil in the world. I believe it was successful in doing that. Sounds like you are saying it only partially worked.
And you pinged me to this....because....?
I wouldn’t have written an article about aliens and abductions...but thats just me.
No. Not my understanding.
Nephilium were a class of fallen angels—typically the daddies of the offspring.
That’s a distortion of Scripture.
NO where in Scripture does it teach that Noah’s flood was to remove satan and all his agents and influences on the planet.
God has used satan throughout history since Noah as a testing tool etc. Scripture talks a little about that.
Noah’s flood was primarily to remove those acting out so horribly at that time else God would have to wipe it all off and start over from scratch. And, that would be a problem because He’d promised Adam that Adam’s offspring would produce a SAVIOR.
Certainly the flood was to destroy the evil humans and the other evil EMBODIED AGENTS BOUND TO EARTH at that time.
THOSE NOT EMBODIED AND NOT BOUND TO EARTH, TO THIS TIME/SPACE DIMENSION AT THAT TIME
WOULD NOT BE TOUCHED BY THE WATERS OF THE FLOOD ANYWAY!!!!
DOH!
Yeah, the clueless seem to find cannon fodder in lots of groundless areas.
Likewise the ill-informed, the uninformed, the inexperienced, the blind, the willfully blind, those with their heads in the sand; the chronically ignorant; the terminally stupid;
If the shoe doesn’t fit, don’t wear it.
You made a comment about KOS etc. I replied.
SCOFF!
I see your research into the topic is close to or equal to
0.000000000000000000000001%
Credible sources assert that Carl Sagan was such a paid government shill.
Don’t scoff. I know three people, secret government agents, who made their living by wearing alien suits, abducting people, and submitting them to anal probes. Sometimes these probes included coffee enemas.
They’re retired now, but sometimes they can’t resist the urge to freelance.
They figure they’re doing good, because their abductees never get cancer.
SCOFF.
Believe me, no government conspiracy paid me to scoff.
Scoffing at idiotic conspiracy theories and mixed up theology comes natural to most people, they need not be paid by the government to scoff at the ridiculous.
