1 | is the seed non-human? | Dan 2:43 | believer 2004 | 133458 | ||
I'm not really suggesting that, as no one knows the mind of God, but it is a possibility that I can't rule out.There are many scriptures that lead to my thinking.Matt. 24:37-39. When the race of giants was being killed out, there is no scripture to say that Og the King of Bashan was killed out, it just says that they ran them out of the land. This would also explain a lot of things that happen in the end times. If the people are corrupted by this seed, they would be this evil an unrepentant. I am not saying this is a truth, just a conjecture. Could you tell me, if the fallen angels were all killed out, how did they repopulate the earth after the flood? Another thing to think about is the fact that angels, whether fallen or not, are spirits. Do you think they can be killed? The scripture says the ones who left their first estate are in chains awaiting judgement, they aren't dead. also, note 2 peter chapter 2 and tell me what you think. God bless, misty |

2 | is the seed non-human? | Dan 2:43 | Reighnskye | 133483 | ||
Believer, You had asked a couple of questions. You said: "Could you tell me, if the fallen angels were all killed out, how did they repopulate the earth after the flood?" I honestly can't answer this question beyond simply conjecture, nor have I really thought of this idea before now. I suppose we could look at two ideologies here. A. If the flood of Noah had exterminated all life on the entire earth, then celestial blood may have been carried through the bloodlines of any of the eight human survivors on the ark; or celestials (angels/demons) manifested themselves again on the earth after the flood of Noah and began intermingling anew, albeit with lesser force; Or, B. The flood of Noah did not exterminate all of humanity from the earth and somebody on the dry land had escaped the flood, beyond the eight who were on the ark. Although completely unbiblical, this idea may run concurrent with ancient historical records of many nations of the earth, that recorded multiple smaller floods throughout the earth, as opposed to one great big flood. By the way, the lost continent of Atlantis was once believed to exist, prior to it's submergence under water, as per the annals of ancient mythology. Secondly, you had asked: "Another thing to think about is the fact that angels, whether fallen or not, are spirits. Do you think they can be killed? The scripture says the ones who left their first estate are in chains awaiting judgement, they aren't dead." To adequately answer this question, I would have to use some rather foreign terms, which are not commonly used in our vernacular. The term "spirit" is grossly inadequate when discussing these things, and can easily lead to a great deal of confusion. This is because when we use the word "spirit", we are often speaking of "ghosts", which are in no way spiritual, even if they are supernatural. The term "spiritual" would not apply to hellish and demonic entities, for example. I will rather use the terms "celestial" and "ghost" (and even these terms fall short). Here is the difference between a "celestial" and a "ghost". A "ghost" is a disembodied spirit that exists on a lesser non-spiritual supernatural plane. The immortal physicality had been lost or forfeited, albeit the vehicle of the "ghost" body had been left behind. Much like when mortal human beings die physically and subsequently float around within the vehicle of a "ghost" body, possessing no resolute appearance or form. This is the state of the demons who left their first estate of physical immortality, so that they could breed with humanity. Having lost their immortal physicality, they therefore attempt to possess the bodies of living mortals, so that they may live on in this life, through the eyes and ears of others. Job 14 10 But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he? (KJV) - Conversely, a "celestial" is a higher spirit which possesses physical immortality, and can physically materialize in our earthly dimension at any time in full view of mortals. This is likely the case with the higher angels, who did not abandon their first estate of physical immortality. Jesus, Enoch and Elijah (and some say Moses) also possess "celestial" bodies, which are capable of physical materialization in our mortal realm at any time. This "celestial" body is the future inheritance of the saints, wherein we may coin the term "material spirit", though the terminology falls short. 1 Corinthians 15 40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. (KJV) - Here are some further verse references concerning those angels who left their first estate of immortal physicality, and therefore degraded themselves into lesser demons after their physical expirations from the earth. In effect, one third of the angels became mortal and their physical bodies died off from the earth. Hence, the dire necessity of these judgments. Perhaps we may still find their bones today. 2 Peter 2 4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; (KJV) Jude 1 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. (KJV) - Blessings, Reighnskye |

3 | is the seed non-human? | Dan 2:43 | believer 2004 | 133487 | ||
I believe that someone on the ark, (obviously not Noah) had this seed.) Many people think that they were all perfect in their generations, but the Bible only says this about Noah, not the others. I totally deep six the idea that anyone lived besides Noah and his family. God doesn't lie, neither does the word. Secondly, some people say there was a second wave of fallen angels, but I haven't been able to find this proof in scripture. As for the spirit thing, I may have not stated clearly what I meant: When we die, our spirit will either live eternally or burn eternally, so it just seems logical this would be the case with the fallen angels. Now, here is another question; do you think the nephilim had souls? they were not of GOD... |

Believer, I would have to say that I agree with you in your last quote here. You said: "I believe that someone on the ark, (obviously not Noah) had this seed.) Many people think that they were all perfect in their generations, but the Bible only says this about Noah, not the others. I totally deep six the idea that anyone lived besides Noah and his family. God doesn't lie, neither does the word. Secondly, some people say there was a second wave of fallen angels, but I haven't been able to find this proof in scripture. As for the spirit thing, I may have not stated clearly what I meant: When we die, our spirit will either live eternally or burn eternally, so it just seems logical this would be the case with the fallen angels." - As to your last question as to whether the Nephilim had souls or not? I would conversely ask "why wouldn't they"? Even dogs, cats, rats and ants have souls. LOLOLOL. - Ecclesiastes 3 17 I said to myself, "God will judge both the righteous man and the wicked man," for a time for every matter and for every deed is there. 18 I said to myself concerning the sons of men, "God has surely tested them in order for them to see that they are but beasts." 19 For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the same. As one dies so dies the other; indeed, they all have the same breath and there is no advantage for man over beast, for all is vanity. 20 All go to the same place. All came from the dust and all return to the dust. 21 Who knows that the breath of man ascends upward and the breath of the beast descends downward to the earth? 22 I have seen that nothing is better than that man should be happy in his activities, for that is his lot. For who will bring him to see what will occur after him? (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |

I have found no where where it says animals live eternally,in any way.I don't know whether that proves to me that they had a soul. The spirit of life was given to all living things that breathe. The spirit and the soul are not the same thing. 1Thess.5:23,Heb. 4:12 Misty |

6 | is the seed non-human? | Dan 2:43 | Reighnskye | 133593 | ||
Believer, Here is a commonly used reference to demonstrate that animals will live on eternally in God's kingdom. The verse is very well known in Christian circles from the book of Isaiah, and is even sung in many worship hymns. Isaiah 11 6 And the wolf will dwell with the lamb, And the leopard will lie down with the young goat, And the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little boy will lead them. 7 Also the cow and the bear will graze, Their young will lie down together, And the lion will eat straw like the ox. 8 The nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra, And the weaned child will put his hand on the viper's den. 9 They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD As the waters cover the sea. (NAS95) - Further, what you say is quite accurate that the spirit and the soul are two different things. 1 Thessalonians 5 23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (NAS95) Hebrews 4 12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. (NAS95) What has me a bit baffled is how one can say that a being possesses a spirit, yet does not possess a soul? Would it not stand to reason that if a being possesses a spirit, that a soul would also be had? - Blessings, Reighnskye |

That's a good question, that's why I asked it! I am familiar with the verse in Isaiah. I know there will be animals. Will they be animals that died and went to Heaven, or will thay just be there because God puts them there? that is the question I was interested in. I haven't found any scripture to answer that, maybe you have. Misty |
