    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    I understand how you are trying to make that connection. I think that "In Like Manner" is referring to "another example of judgment" not that the angels sinned with sex like Sodom did. Just like judgment has already come in the past like the flood, and like the angels, and like Sodom... God...

    Fulling expecting this to be a short thread !

    I think so. His being deeply troubled. His questions "Didn't I tell you?" And their words "couldn't he..." many clues point to the fact that after so many teachings and miracles, they were slow to show faith. How much joy would Jesus have had that day if someone said. "Hallelujah...

    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    The text is about how God Has and Can show judgment before the final judgment. 2 Peter 2 4For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment; 5if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on...

    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    I'm not fine with it. And this is why. The intended message from Gen 6 is that the godly men in Adam/Seth's camp were supposed to marry women from among them who believed in a coming redeemer who would judge the world and remain faithful to the revelation of God that they had. (Enoch did...

    Confusion over the "sign" gifts?

    I am not sure that it happened daily in every church. And Peter and John pointed them away from themselves and to faith in Jesus and His Name. So as soon as people looked at them as celebrity miracle workers Peter was quick to correct that thinking. He told them Not to think of them as having...

    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    1When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. 3Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal ...

    Confusion over the "sign" gifts?

    I know of two medically documented cases in my church that the Doctors said they have no explanation for. One was a cancer tumor that dissappeared after prayer the day before surgery was scheduled. The Doctors wrote that they did not misdiagnose as they have the xrays and the biopsy still as...

    Question of the day

    The first full lip kissing should be when the Preacher says, You may now kiss the bride. That is my plan if I ever get married again. You won't fall into sin and it is more romantic. The kind of woman I would be interested in, is the one that likes that idea. Now I suppose a short peck...

    In the book of Acts, They prophesied about one coming. And then they took up a collection to help those who would be effected by it. That can still happen today.

    Confusion over the "sign" gifts?

    I love the way the book of Acts ends... 30Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house. And he welcomed all who visited him, 31proclaiming the kingdom of Goda and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldnessb and without hindrance. This proclaiming the Kingdom of God about...

    Confusion over the "sign" gifts?

    Even after the bible was written we still have this promise... 19Look, I have given you the authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy; nothing at all will harm you. 20However, don’t rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are...

    Confusion over the "sign" gifts?

    On that note, Pentecostals endure daily derision and persecution from a large section of Christendom and the world. They are misunderstood and falsely accused and in the early 1900s were shot at and beaten when they attempted to conduct tent revivals. And in my opinion the reason that MOST...

    Confusion over the "sign" gifts?

    I think that for the same reasons that these things followed their preaching then we still need these things to follow the Gospel preaching today. Don't you? Jesus only healed one man at the pool of Bethsaida when it was full of sick folk. Cleaning out hospitals was not something Jesus or...

    Does anyone know the history of the book referred to today as the Holy Bible?

    I am no expert on this but here is some of the main points about Marcion and his list of what he believed was canon. Marcion is the first person known to us who published a fixed collection of what we should call New Testament books. (Bruce, F.F. 1988) But he did not call them New...

    Confusion over the "sign" gifts?

    What is a sign gift and what is the scripture you are using to support calling it that? For example, we have "These signs shall follow them that believe they will speak with new tongues..." In Mark 16. Is that the scripture you are referring to when you say "sign gifts?" There is nothing...

    Here is another one you might like. Paul said he signed off his letters this way... 2 Thess 3:16-18 ...The Lord be with you all. 17The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write. 18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. And...
