    That is false; the scripture says nothing about the sons of God caming down.....that is what you want to believe or what you might have been told.

    And where did you get this belief from?

    So how do beings that were never created with a desire to have sex, has no sex organs, is not human, has no organs and all the things that make us what we are able to?


    LOL.....you have got to be kidding. I would like to know how did you come to that conclusion? How do you figure that it means what you are saying when it does not? It does not even say what you are saying it says. Do you know what the word strive mean? The word in Hebrew is dîn and means Judge. I mean that statement has nothing to do with angels or sex?

    Where do you get these ideas from? Are you saying that there are angels that God did not create? That He created them with the ability to reproduce?

    But you still have not provided any scripture where God commanded the angels not to mix with humans. Everything so far that you have been saying is your opinion or whomever belief you have adopted as your own.

    The word that is in the Hebrew does not mean a person of great size.......it just means Bully or a Tyrant.


    What are you claiming to have seen aliens from another plant?


    Here you go again, passing your opinion off as something Biblical. What I see in the Bible as the reason for God to bring a flood was that people's thoughts were evil continually. It did not say He did it because of mixing/marrying with demons.


    Another opinion that you are passing off as Biblical. It’s no different than those who claim that aliens from another plant built the pyramids.

    Uhh, every living thing reproduces, and only humans marry. Dogs "do not marry, nor are given to marriage", but it doesn't mean they don't have any genitalia. Your reasoning is non sequitor.

    Why? Angels are immortal. There is no need for more angels. You don't need to replace something that doesn't wear out.

    You obviously don't know the nature of spirit that is without a body or you would not say that. You are assuming that spirits are like physical beings that has a body.

    When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose.

    6 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.

    1And it cometh to pass that mankind have begun to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters have been born to them,

    2and sons of God see the daughters of men that they [are] fair, and they take to themselves women of all whom they have chosen.



    which versions say otherwise?

    I will admit that I would sooner believe this than traditional Christianity.

    There is nothing in that verse that says the sons of God came down. You know in the Bible human beings with the Spirit of God are called sons of God.

    Matthew 5:8-9 (ASV)
    8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
    9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called sons of God.

    Romans 8:14 (ASV)
    14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

    So I could simply say the sons of God were Spirit filed men who maried pagan women.

    But that would not be the truth......the sons of God as I said before were wicked men that gave themselves that title or name in an attempt to get back to God without repenting or changing their sinful ways......that is why the scripture says there thoughts were evil continually. There were not enough righteous people around for God not to do what He did.

    If they are part human and part demons they would survive the flood because they would not be a full human. It’s a really silly and ridiculous to actually believe that spirit can mate with flesh and produce an offspring. If that were possible then human could mate with animals and produce offspring too….because an animal is flesh and blood the same as a human being.

    I think you should be asking this question "where did you get this belief from", of yourself.

    This is the third time I have asked you to justify this claim.

    As far as "sons of God"

    Indeed the sons of God were a lively bunch !

    The bible is a history book as well as the recorded word of God.

    The opposite of liberal Christianity which changes to conform with the times.

    The Bible contains history, this does not make it a history book.

    If the Bible is a history book, then why did the OT get so much history wrong ?

    Why would God record false history ?

    Much of what is said in the OT does not reflect actual history, but rather what the Israelites came to believe about themselves.

    Tell that to the myriad of historians and archaeologists who have used it in the past to find important location and historical records.

    Like I said, the Bible contains history. Not everything in the Bible is concerned with history. This does not make the Bible false, but there are several different ways of expressing truths such as a myth.

    I agree. I am not sure why folks want to take such a literal interpretation.

    Even if we wanted to take a literal interpretation it would not be easy because very few people have a good understanding of how people thought at the times being described and what they meant and how things should be translated.

    Even experts disagree on translation of many passages.

    The Bible contains loads of actual History. Some of the things that are not historical are not likely even meant to be taken as History. Like storytelling to get a message across.

    That stories designed to teach or instruct were used (didactic literature) does not make the stuff that is actual history false.

    The Bible in its entirety should not be taken as History, taken literally. Nor should everything in the Bible be taken to be written by the hand of God.

    This would solve so many problems.

    The Bible is a history book and prophecy. The Bible is the only book that predicted the rebirth of Israel couple thousands years before, if that's not a book from God, I don't know what is.

    They don't want to have sex. But they want to reproduce. There were already some hybrid experimentation going on back then.

    This is a good point. The angles may not need more angels because they are immortal, but we have to note that there were 1/3 of angels fallen. If God want to refill the amount the sons that he lost, I am sure that God would have a way to have angles reproduce the angles.

    Plus, I think the fallen angels are the one who really want to increase their numbers, to build an army. If the theory of aliens are fallen angels is truth, then, it could explain well why did the aliens so interested in human mix with alien's reproduction experiment, the hybrid experimentation. Overall, every now and then, We do hear some abductee birth alien shaped dead baby.

    Nostradamas and Casey have similar predictions .. are these from God too ?

    I think perhaps there are parts of the Bible that are inspired. This does not mean the whole book is.

    I do not know that the Bible accurately predicted the rebirth of Israel either.

    Certainly no timelines were given and this is needed in order for a prediction to be a "valid" prediction otherwise it is an open ended prediction.

    I can predict today that "The American Empire will end and be reborn" chances are that "sometime" in the future this will happen.

    Someone could have made a similar prediction for Greece in its Golden age in 1500BC .. the culture was completely decimated and wiped out around 1000 BC and was "reborn" again in 700-650BC.

    Of course I believe in much of the Bible. What would mislead you to think otherwise ?
