Thank you.

Job 38:7; Isaiah 6:2; Deuteronomy 32:8, and a few others suggest beings that are not human, not God, and not angels. The Hebrew "bene elohim" (sons of God) appears in a few places in Scripture. By the way, the KJV of Deut. 32:8 based on manuscripts that are anachronistic, as the sons of Israel...

I carefully didn't say "angels". ;)

Perhaps you're thinking that 'nephilim' is the only possibility. Think "spiritual entities that are not God". Like "sons of God" as in Job 38.

Which passage in Scripture tells us which ‘laws’ are ceremonial and which aren’t?

“Obey the law perfectly? Perhaps you are not sufficiently familiar with the law, which requires regular sacrifices for sin. The law assumes the impossibility of remaining sinless.

Bah! Humbug! It's already December 12 and nobody has gifted me fruitcake yet!

On what scriptural basis do you make this claim?

You would do well do dispense with the dismissive comments. There is no need to bleed your arrogance all over the forum. Since many readers don't share your conclusion, this is not "obvious".

Nobody is claiming that Jesus committed any sin... so kindly stop making that a core element of your argument. Do you seriously believe that the Scriptures that state clearly that Jesus was tempted are not actually Scripture? Really? Where is that in Scripture?

I see there is no point in exploring possibilities with you; your mind is shut.

While I don't hold to macro-evolution, I must challenge your use of the term "theory". In common usage it means something uncertain or speculative. In science, it means something exceptionally well-established by evidence and experimentation. Gravity is also referred to as a "theory". That...

It is curious that after Jesus says, "standing in the holy place", He (or the authors) adds, "Let the reader understand" (written in parentheses in English). That suggests there is something unusual about the preceding statement, that it is not "plain for all to comprehend". The phrase could...

In a discussion of end-times events, it usually means "abomination of desolation", as it does here. However, in a different context it could mean "Ancient of Days".

An assertion without evidence is indistinguishable from an opinion.

Psst... double jeopardy is being tried for the same crime twice. It's not permitted under most Western judicial systems. I'm not sure that "gaslighting" is the appropriate term here either, as it refers to attempting to have someone believe an alternate, false account of a statement, action...

Yes, and I agree.

Verse 1 sets the context. What does it say?

Just in case you missed these... Matthew 3:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. Mark 1:13 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan Luke 4:1-2a And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by...

Since Jesus doesn't say in this passage that "all flesh" includes animals, it is not a must. It's not the very next thing that happens. (y)
