Discuss Genesis 6 Page 25

It shows me the way to go.

Beings from the spiritual world? Could these spirits beings be those whom God was talking to when he said "let US make man", "in OUR image"? Took earth women for their wives....God said "My spirit must not forever be disgraced in man who is evil, I will give him 120 years to mend his ways." Then evil beings from the spirit world were with human women and produced giants. When God saw the wickedness and where it was headed sad that he was he destroyed every living breathing thing on earth except Noah and his dependants plus two of everything else. Are these beings angels? Were they angels? And did they become the fallen angels, Satan and his followers/demons? I don't remember this lesson in Sunday school or Bible study class. Were they all destroyed in the flood or just their wives and subsequent giant offspring? Lord help me to understand your word. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

all God word is true.dont let no one fool you that the word of god is not true.In the first chapter of genesis proves,the lord was in the beginning.My God said their is no other God.If you are breathing tell me its not a God.It is a powerful God almighty who lives today in our spirits as we surrender to him.He already no some will not follow him.I pleat with you he lives today,because he live within my soul.

Speaking of Creation versus evolution, considering time, they are only making intelligent guesses. Not all science believes in that theory.

Angels are ministering spirits. They are never called as sons of God in the Holy Scriptures. Angels can not reproduce. So sons of God and daughters of men are Godly and ungodly people only.

@Duncan,
Angels can not reproduce, even when they were cast down from heaven. The only instance that angels reproduce is in Genesis 6, when they were coupling with women, and then produced giants. All such giants died in the floods of Noah.
But by themselves, angels never reproduce.
God bless you.

Am I wrong in thinking that Angels can not reproduce. However, is it being said that when they were kicked out of heaven, did they regain this ability to reproduce?

The Bible is clear on its say, angels were the fellows watchers, the sons of GOD in which they took wives and bore the nephilims the hybrid babies.

Andre, actually, in the scientific method, a group of hypothesis that are verified and supported by a series of repeated tests will only then become a theory, which is a generally accepted explanation of natural phenomena and is considered fact. I think you have this confused with the non-scientific explanation which is an unproven assumption, even though it is based on logic. For example, Einstein's theory of Relativity was only a hypothesis until it was proven to be accurate after multiple experiments were performed to verify its accuracy, at which time it became an accepted scientific theory. The theory of Evolution is a "scientific theory" because it has been proven time and time again to be a valid explanation for the development of life on this planet. It is supported by the fossil record and has been verified by the decoding of the genome.

@Peter,
We respect your adhesion to the theory of evolution. And that takes will to do so, because Evolution is just a theory, an assumption that still needs to be proved; unlike gravity which is law.
A law very much differs from a theory, because a law is proved, acted with, and leads to expected results, depending orientation taken, .. it can be calculated with, but not a theory. A theory works in some instances and not in others, so it cannot be fully trusted.
God bless you.

Clint - not only do I subscribe to the "theory" of evolution, but also to the theory of gravity and the germ theory of disease. I suggest you do a little research on what the definition of the word theory is. Evolution, like all scientific theories, is the result of smart people figuring things out. Hopefully, religious extremism won't gain a foothold on the mainstream in this country (like it has in other countries).

God created all things; the fossils are from before the flood. Satan and science want to deceive the world with big bang theory and evolution and millions of years and fossil records! God has told us what He did and don’t add anything to it, He warns us about adding or taking away from THE WORD!! I suggest you go to ICR (Institute for Creation Research) and investigate for yourself there is no proof at all for evolution, none at all! It’s still a theory, never proved.

Andre - actually, time is not endless. It originated with the cosmic burst we refer to as the Big Bang. We also have a good idea of how the earth was formed. We also know that the earth was here for billions of years before large animals evolved which eventually led to the development of mammals, which includes our species homo-sapiens. I stand corrected if you say this is consistent with Christian doctrine. I don't think it is since the Christian right is trying to have "intelligent design" become part of our children's science curriculum in public schools.

@Peter,
Yes, there are evidences of fossils dated millions of years, and those might not be the oldest ones, because time is endless. And the Bible happily does not ignore such evidences, neither does it deny them. Yes such evidences are true, and the Bible acknowledges them.
Genesis 1:1, In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Genesis 1:2, And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
God created the heavens and earth in Genesis 1:1, and in Genesis 1:2, the earth was without form. God could not create it without form, but it became without form (upside down).
So what caused that? It is the fall of Satan along with his army that brought all such disturbance and quenched all life on earth.
And in Genesis 1:3, God starts bringing things back to order.
So those fossils discovered every now and then belong to the period between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2.
So God is not in contradiction with such discoveries. In fact they confirm the turmoil consecutive to Satan’s fall.
God bless you.

Andre, thanks for clearing that up for me. I was under the impression that marsupials, like all animals, evolved over millions of years, which is supported by overwhelming evidence in the fossil record and confirmed through DNA research. And there actually are people who believe that scientific nonsense. But let us not judge them harshly. For some mysterious reason, God must put this evidence there to test our faith. Or else he just enjoys playing practical jokes on smart people.

@Peter,
Nothing shows that kangaroos never existed anywhere else except Australia. But all animals that exist today, except the aquatic ones, originated from the ark of Noah after the floods. And later spread on the surface of the earth, prospering is some areas and decimating in others, depending on environment hospitality.
God bless you.

@Aggie,
Verse 1 clearly states that men begun to multiply (and they could only multiply with women).
So it is very clear that daughters were born from couples.
God bless you.

Andre, thank you for explaining that. Now it makes perfect sense. One more question. How did kangaroos get to the ark ? I thought they lived in Australia?

If daughters were just being born to them, then who were they having all these children with??

@Peter,
Only animals and birds that were threatened by the floods could be taken into the ark of Noah. All that could survive the floods had no need of protection into the Ark.
God made Mosquitos and Cobras as aids to mankind, but with man’s fall in the Garden of Eden, man lost supremacy over most of livestock, which went wild. And today we face some of them as threats to man. However God always makes a way for us as believers to the end that we can overcome all such threats, not always in facing them, like Daniel and the Apostle Paul did, and some others servants of God; but as we trust God and walk under His guidance, care and protection, God keeps such threats away from our way, or (God) tells us about our safety.
Because God is love, He makes a way even where there seems to be no way, for His people.
God bless you.

Did Noah bring two tapeworms on the ark? I wish he would have left them off. Also cobras, and Mosquitos. Why did God even make those things in the first place?

May the Lord help us to know Him better. It is God's mercy and grace that has been keeping this generation. This chapter has significant relevance to what the world is today, regarding all aspects of our lives, particularly the wicked nature of man. Lord, I pray thee help us to know you and serve you better, to make the world a peaceful place for us in Jesus name.

The earth was much different before the Flood-the crystalline firmament produced oxygen rich atmosphere. This seventh layer above the ionosphere-consisting of ice-held in place by the magnetic field-would have fallen in the Flood. Ice suspended above the earth's atmosphere that blocked some UV light-also caused an increase in air pressure-the oxygen rich air kept the people and the animals-all vegans by the way-healthy for hundreds of years-thus the giants were the natural race of the creation. God said eat of every plant, the animals did too, they were not ferocious man eaters like the scoffers told us they were merely insects et all that lived for long periods of time and never stopped growing-they were not dinosaurs then but dragons-the fiery breath has also been imposed on us as educational lies-elitists especially Smithsonian Institute does not want anyone to believe in God Creation, because they need to keep people confused and in rebellion with God and each other for their satanic goals they set-God laughs at them!!!

I read Genesis 3:5 and that sums up a lot of the understanding of Satan’s goal to destroy the gene pool as to prevent Jesus from being born. Redeemer and Savior, as stated. Enoch 7th from Adam and earthly father of Methuselah, walked with God and was taken by God but also had a book as well (the Book of Enoch) reportedly found with the dead sea scrolls but not included in the Bible as some man decided not to include. But the light came on several months ago and I really discovered some new area's. My point being when you consider all the different area's it talks of the corrupt things done before the flood, here is the beginning. The fallen Angels (stars-messengers) who with earthly women produced the GIANTS (10-18 feet tall, men of renowned, men of ole). Then look at what our government and other countries are doing with DNA splicing and creating some of these creatures as shown on Egyptian Hieroglyphics. I believe in Satan’s attempt to destroy the gene pool, again as to prevent the return of the Redeemer-Savior-Jesus Christ, he is the one behind all this, he was then and is now. But I find the beginning of Genesis 6 to be the most informative. Just my opinion based on a lot of research and Bible versus that are found in Jude, James, I and II Corinthians.

THUS GOLIATH. GIANTS AMONG MEN.

@Kevin, verse 11, I thought the same thing for a second but what I think is trying to be said is the earth was corrupt before (or in front of) God- not before (time) God. Of course I'm open to any different view.

@Neil,
In Genesis 6:3, GOD sets man’s lifetime at 120 years. And in Psalms 90:10, it says The days of our years are ..70, … 90 years. This seems to be a conflict, but it is not one actually. Because in Genesis 6:3 GOD sets a limit at 120 years, which does NOT necessarily means everybody will live out to that age, and in Psalms 90:10, in this prayer Moses is observing that ‘’the days of our years are 70 to 90 years’’, this is what Moses often sees, but Moses himself lived 120 years ( Deuteronomy 34:7).
However GOD’s grace and mercy are beyond any limitation, because Noah himself lived 950 years ( Genesis 9:29), and that was after life limitation which took place in Genesis 6:3. So let’s stick to GOD’s grace and mercy.

@Peter,
Of course there was not such a story like Santa Claus's sled. Not only the possibility of containing pairs of species and even seven pairs of pure ones could be questioned sense knowledge wise, but also the means to bring them to Noah and finally in (not ON) the Ark. All such are questions that need answers.
Now you can find the dimensions of the Ark in Genesis 6:15, and convert them to our current measuring units to see how unthinkably huge was that ship… But how did Noah manage to draw pairs of each specie in the Ark? It is unimaginable, but above all we can understand, GOD was in charge of HIS own business, Noah was there just for implementation, but the project was GOD’s…
GOD bless you.

To Ray McKendry: The son's of God are the one third Angels that were cast out of Heaven. They transformed themselves into men & had their way with the daughters of men. Their intentions were to breed out mankind, that is why there were giants upon the Earth.

I believe God told Cain in Genesis 4:7 what his end would be. If thou doest well, shall thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall he his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. I believe this is why Jesus kept on impressing on Peter asking him do you love me. When Jesus started to wash the feet of his disciples Peter told him not my feet Lord. Jesus told him if I wash not your feet you have no inheritance with Me. Peter said wash my hands, every part. The Lord told just your feet.
