Bible Discussion Thread

@ michael, yr way off base here. NOWHERE in the Bible does it say anything about the bloodlines of either seth or cain. this weak explanation is one way people try to get around some really amazing events, namely that the "sons of God/fallen angels" DID mate w/ human women and spawn monstrous giants. THIS is the explanation you claim the Bible doesn't provide. The reason the CATHOLIC church, arguably the most evil religious institution on earth next to islam, rejects this book is because it was considered too unbelievable precisely because of the fallen angel/human women cohabitation. also the book of enoch is found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. do you have a problem with the Dead Sea Scrolls authenticity? I don't. jude 6-7

6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire"

what do you think "strange flesh" and fornication means? it means that the fallen angels absolutely did fornicate with human women which was an abomination before God. This is part of the reason God wiped out the earth with Noah's Flood. Remember the Bible says "Noah was perfect in all his generations..." meaning his bloodline had not been contaminated by the Nephilim.
You also said "Sin is the cause of all deformities and disease, so this very well could be the case." You are partially right. The existence of disease and evil things is because of sin BUT sin doesn't cause disease or deformities. Disease and deformities are the result of the human genome breaking down thru successive generations. Thats why in Leviticus a law is laid down that marrying a sibling is wrong. Becuase at that point in human history there there was no longer a reason to marry someone close to you relation-wise. Gross, I know but think about it, when the human race was decimated or even started, there were only a few people, they HAD to marry their relations,there was no one else.
I Corinthians 11:9-10 says "9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on [her] head because of the angels." This saying that women should cover her head, so as not to tempt the fallen angels and reserve herself for her husband.

You also said "Nowhere in the Bible does it refer to angels as the "sons of God". However, those who believe in Christ are called His sons and daughters, and also are sons and daughters of Abraham because, by believing in Him, they inherit GOD's promise to Abraham.

there are many references to the sons of God as angels, both fallen and good. This link discusses this Linkwatcher/enoch5.html

You also said the word "elect" is not used in the Bible. Wow, on this very website you can do a search and see the "elect" passages, all 24 of them.

One thing that you said is that the angel Michael is really Jesus? Where did you find that piece of heresy? Michael, you need to reread yr Bible and quit reading INTO it. Then you'll see that there isn't anywhere in the Bible about "sons of Seth or daughters of Cain". You seem to have yr own version of the Bible.
