1 | is the seed non-human? | Dan 2:43 | Reighnskye | 133390 | ||
Believer, Are you suggesting from this verse, that angelic/demonic seed again mixes with the human race, even well after the period of the flood of Noah? The former intermingling of celestials and humankind necessitated the mass genocide incurred by the great flood, without which the flood would not have been necessary, but for the corruptions in the human bloodline. - Genesis 6 1 Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose. 3 Then the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years." 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. 5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 The LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 7 The LORD said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them." (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |

There will also be mass genocide in the endtimes, though they will not be destroyed by a world-wide flood. The endtimes is mainly a spiritual fight between good and evil. The whole earth will be manipulated by satan and his minions to do their bidding,(except those who follow Christ)what better way to make an army than to actually MAKE them.There are many intelligent people in the world, and it's hard to get one group of people to agree on anything, let alone the whole world. I am not stating that as a fact, I also said cloning is a possibility,(they could clone humans and indwell them, but it says in Dan.2:43 that they mingled with the seed of men...) It's just a thought that should be explored. I have often followed the mainstream and found that it was the wrong doctrine I was following. Be true to God and you can't go wrong! God bless, Misty |

3 | is the seed non-human? | Dan 2:43 | Reighnskye | 133497 | ||
Believer, I greatly suggest that only God can create life, whether it be twins in the womb or clones in the test tube. God is the author of all life, and we should show full respect to God's handiwork, even if human beings will distort and abuse God's gift of life to us. If two twins shall be born from the mother's womb on the same day, it would not be valid to ask which life is valid and which is not. So also, if that twin is born in a test tube or through an act of cloning. Even if man shall form the body from pre-existing organic materials, yet God creates the soul within every potential clone (if not the body itself). However, not all view God as the sovereign author of all life on earth. Although, scientists will attempt to enhance or distort human life (as had been done with animals already), we should nonetheless not thank the scientist for a new life on the earth. The scientist had only taken what God had first originated and melded such organic materials through scientific methods. Ultimately, there will likely be three demonstrated applications for cloning in the end times: 1. Clones will be used to fight our wars, at the loss of their various God-given lives and limbs. 2. Clones will perform our daily labors for us as permanent slaves bought for a hefty price. This will be particularly advantageous for larger corporations that would like to cut payroll a bit. 3. Clones will be used for medical experimentions as the Jews were, due to their percieved expendability. - Now beyond all this, there will be two camps of people: 1. The first camp will be a portion of the religious camp, which will declare the mistaken belief that clones lack souls and are therefore not a viable form of life. From here, mass geneocides of clones will be first supported and later performed. However, an offshoot of this first camp will also arise, which will fully support the first three applications for clones that I had suggested. Although, they will not view clones as having souls, they will nonetheless view mass genocide as impractical. 2. The second religious camp of people will declare that clones do indeed have souls, which constitutes that they are a viable form of life, likewise deserving equal freedoms as all human beings. These shall oppose the usage of clones as war soldiers, corporate slaves and medical test subjects. They shall also attempt to convey the Gospel of Jesus to them. However, another offshoot will also arise from this second camp of people, who will justify the deaths of the first and original camp, who support and/or perform mass genocide of the clones. These shall spill the blood of a portion of the first camp, so as to defend the clones by way of violence. - Which camp will you choose? - James 1 16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. 17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. (NAS95) - Blessings, Reighnskye |

I must admit this controversy about life from the test tube of a scientist sometime in the future is probably going to be a very severe problem for our generations in the future, maybe even our grandkids or our great-grandkids. Suffice it to say at the current rate of progress in this field of genetics, my wife and I were motivated to teach our boys as solid a faith in God as possible. We talked about this at length and spent many nights in prayer about it. Here's the bottom line I presented to my family. Even when and if that day does appear and some strange new form of life does progress and graduate from a scientist's test tube, it won't shake my faith. That's because I read my Bible and in Genesis, it says "God created..." the whole universe and everything in it. That means He took nothing, an absolute void and created everything without the modern advent of science, tools and thousands of years of experienmentaion. To man, He gave the gift of intellect and the tools to make his world of tools and science. So this latest development of science doesn't shake my faith and I did my best to instill that same degree of devotion and faith in our sons. That's about all I can recommend to all of us. Each of us must study and think about this because this storm of controversy is coming along with all the legal and moral consequences so we need to steel ourselves to anchor ourselves in our faith to God. I don't really think there will be much of a way of retarding this kind of progress as it's always been difficult to stop this kind of ocean of development with mankind in the past. But we do need to cling to the "Rock of Ages" and train up our young people to do likewise. The continuing trend to disrepect God and leave Him behind in this scientific onslaught will not be pretty and I'm a big fan of science, astronomy, etc. I do sincerely hope this post is helpful and somewhat uplifting to everyone reading it. God's people are all to be encouraged to be faithful. God bless. Rowdy |

Rowdy, I agree with you, but want to clarify one thing; only God can create REAL human life. If scientists clone humans, that is NOT a creation of GOD, but an invention that falls far short of GOD's might and glory. We MUST think of how this is done. They use living tissue from other humans. Do you think the soul is in that tissue? It will come to this, and our children do need to be aware of it. There is already a petition to use human tissue to clone for medical scientific experimentation right now. If this man gets this permission, it will only be a matter of time. Also, maybe we won't live long enough to tell our grandkids and great grandkids anything. Already, it is fortold that we Are the last generation. Matt.24:32-34 Misty |

You ask/pose some very tough questions, none of which I can answer with any high degree of confidence. I can only notice from history that God is incredibly patient and if the vast majority of "the whole world thinks only wickedness all the time" like it was in Noah's time, it might be close to the end of the world. But I don't think the world is quite that bad and another thing: I'm convinced as long as they are a substantial number of people looking for the Lord's second coming like we have in today's world, IMO I think that's another reason we're NOT close to the end of the world. As I'm sure you know very well, the Lord promised us His second coming would be like a thief in the night and NO ONE expects a thief in the night. So, with these two solid factors to consider, I think the Lord MIGHT let us live/exist for a little while longer. In answer to your other question, I just simply don't have a clue. If a person is alive as a result of being cloned, does He have a soul or not? I'd like to think so. I guess it'll depend on whether or not he has an innate conscience telling him right from wrong. We'll just have to wait and see and then there's the matter in the legal court system. Will the courts grant him full legal citizenship and voting rights and everything else a natural born person expects from this life? Yes, some very tough questions for us and our descendents to deal with. Lord, help us make the decisions you would endorse as being Your Will. God bless us all during this trial. Rowdy |

Hi Rowdy, Remember, 1Th 5:1 But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that aught be written unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 When they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall in no wise escape. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief: 5 for ye are all sons of light, and sons of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness; Lu 21:31 Even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh. May He tarry for the sake of the unsaved! May He come quickly for His redeemed! (what's fun for me about this thread is that many of the things you and Misty have said are things I myself have thought about, and thought I was probibly the only one to ponder in relation to the topic of the nephilim, and so didn't post. Subract my points for lack of boldness! :( Anyway, another thing my wife and I have discussed is this phenomenom of men with an extra Y chromosome, who tend to be very tall, cunning, and amoral. Who knows!) Love in Christ, Mark |

Mark, All I can say to your first statement is AMEN! To your second, you never know, stranger things have happened and will only get stranger and more evil. God bless you and yours. Also, please never be afraid to express your thoughts. It may be that you could be one that God will use to un-lock the prophecies which were bond up in Daniel. Misty |
