Are giants the offspring of angels and humans?

[ChristRoseFromTheDead]

There is no biblical basis for that claim.

And you're not edifying in the least.

 

[Dino246]

Look beyond the surface, beyond the letters. How can anyone be a son of God except through faith? They can't

I see you will twist Scripture to say what you want it to say while bleating that you hold to it.

 

[Dino246]

The prophets would have laughed and rolled their eyes at you. Do you seriously think God didn't fully inform the person upon whom the future of the human race depended about his and mankind's redemption? You really are getting to be tedious and trivial in your comments

And your hypocrisy is growing tiresome.

 

[ChristRoseFromTheDead]

It doesn't account for the existence of giants, mighty men, or men of renown being the offspring of such unions. Your "reasonable and sensible" may work for you but it's not a convincing argument for me.

I don't think you're even being serious anymore. Just nitpicking for the sake of nitpicking

 

[Dino246]

And you're not edifying in the least.

Telling liars that they are lying is edifying only if they repent of their falsehood.

 

[ChristRoseFromTheDead]

I see you will twist Scripture to say what you want it to say while bleating that you hold to it.

Again, you're not edifying in the least. Put some substance behind your words like you really want to have a discussion. I don;t think you do. I think you just want to stand at a distance and throw stones

I recommend you read Isaac Asimov's short essay, "The Relativity of Wrong".

So you're calling me a liar. What loser you are

 

[ChristRoseFromTheDead]

And your hypocrisy is growing tiresome.

Just a slur.

You reap what you sow.

OK well that explains a lot. I don;t look to unbelievers

 

[ChristRoseFromTheDead]

Good. My conscience is clean. Are you really being this weird over something as non-essential as this topic? I think you have some problems you need to work on

 

[Dino246]

That's a rather self-righteous and denigrating response from the person who complains about my comments not being edifying.

This is what goes through my mind now when I get an alert you've quoted me

For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter: Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps. Deuteronomy 32:32-33​

Which is the reasonable and sensible choice

I agree. It's hard for us to wrap our minds around anything that doesn't appeal to our reasoning and sensibilities.

The fact that angels somehow mated with humans is unreasonable to us. And it goes against what God created us for. It is so unreasonable to us........That people will reject the clear meaning of scripture and replace it with their reason and senses.

God gives us a sound mind and warns us against going off in unanchored directions. What you are calling the clear meaning of scripture is anything but that. It's only clear to a carnal mind that can't see beneath the surface

Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. Titus 1:14​

The angels mated with human women. Everything in ME says, "NO WAY!".......my carnal mind.

lol you have it backwards. You grew up with TV/movies that pushed this kind of stuff constantly, so belief in it comes naturally to you. It's the worldly mind at work

 

[posthuman]

Why do you keep talking about this? They were all one race. The only division was spiritual

because there are historically 3 views on this topic, and all three have been represented in this thread.

 

[posthuman]

You made this up because that's not stated in scripture

where else does God say this?

Genesis 6:7​

So the LORD said, ​

"I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them."​
