421 | Noah,the eighth? | Gen 5:32 | stjohn | 195131 | ||
Hi Michael, Well, I don't know that Peter was really counting them formally, In which case Noah perhaps, would be counted first, I suppose, but, he was simply relaying the story of their salvation from destruction by the flood. He did however only mention Noah by name and the others were not mentioned by name, giving Noah formal precedence. Although, I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with what Peter is telling us here but, Does that help? God bless John |

Hi Cheri, I'm jumping in here; Brother Michael was asking about 2 Peter 2:5 I think we have cleared up the understanding a bit, you could read the question, it would be easier for you I think then me trying to explain in my limited ability. :-) God bless John |

Michael, Just a reminder, It's important to focus on the message that is being taught here in 2Perer, and not get sidetracked. Peter is talking about God judging, and condemning the wicked, and the salvation of the righteous through the work of the Holy Spirit. And God's all sufficient ability to do it. this has little or nothing to do with the formal customs of the day. Michael, I'm happy you are studding so diligently. :-) God bless John |

Chrei, Yes, all is well thank you. We all receive unmerited compensation for seeking greater knowledge of our God, through studying His word in order that we may glorify His name. The real payday will be truly wonderful! "For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection," Romans 6:5. God bless John |

426 | Who are the "sons of God" in Genesis 6? | Gen 6:2 | stjohn | 189069 | ||
Hello, InGodITrust It is good to see you back at the forum, and in business! So to speak, I appreciate your learned counsel and hope all is well my friend. Well, I'd like to give my two cents on this one if I may, and I mean no disrespect I can assure you. I often find myself in disagreement with a particular bit of commonly accepted scripture in a disputable area, and when I look around I can see plainly that I am among brethren that believe in the same Gospel as I do, so even on the occasion of disagreement I often find myself in good company. I'd like to add that I consider you very good company. Having said that, I'd like to address the title of [Son's of God] in this verse. It seems to me, that Son's of God could not or should not be given to [fallen] Angels. A fallen Angel would not in my opinion be a [Son of God] he would be a son of the devil, or Satin. Would he not? So, I have a hard time accepting that view. Also, I don't think that the grammar of verse 4 would dictate that, as many believe it does. In v 4, "There were giants on the earth in those days--and also afterward--when the sons of God lived with the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. Keeping in mind, that when Moses wrote there was no breakdown in the structure of scripture into sentences, it would seem that the statement "There were giants on the earth in those days" Is simply that, its just a statement that there were Giants in the land. There were giants in Joshua's day as well, and I don't think that Scripture says that they were the offspring of fallen Angles. And, after Moses writes that he says; and I think we should take note of this, [and also afterward] In other words like saying, and after this you know down the road a bit we have, "when the sons of God lived with the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown." Well it looks to me that he, Moses, might be simply saying, that the Son's of God are in the line of Able and the Son's of men are the son's are in the line of Cain. I believe, that these men were mighty men, and, men of renown, but I don't see them as the giants in the first part of this verse. This might also imply that someone today that is considered a giant, might be the offspring of a fallen Angel and I believe this could foster prejudice against them and would not be fair to them to imply that, just because they are big. Nor do I believe they [the mighty men of renown] are the son's of fallen Angels. Also, Jesus says in Mark 12:25 "For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven." Also I'd like to add that I agree with the premiss that someone who is possessed by a demon can have offspring, they still would be hard-pressed to call themselves Son's of God, even though they may be the spirits of fallen Angels. I hope that was worth two cents. ;-) God bless. John |

Howdy OldPilgim, Yes, that verse in Job 1:6 does indeed refer to Angles as the Son's of God. I agree, no problem whatsoever.. However, do you think that [fallen] Angels, followers of Satin, would be referring to the Son's of God?.. And, certainly if the son's of God are Good Angels...... What where they doing fornicating with Humans? That would make them bad Angels.. Would it not? Ether way you cant convince me that The Son's of God are Fallen Angels, not at all, not in this instance. Sorry I just cant accept it. And again, Our Lord said, when referring to the dearly departed, "they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven." He clearly indicated that the Angels [do not marry], nor are they given in marriage..... And again, how can we call the fallen Angels and followers of Satin/The devil,... Son's of God? Humans possessed by evil spirits, are The Son's of God-?! ... I am Sorry, I just don't see that as a viable option. And like I said about the giants being the offspring of Humans and Angels, Well, I think something that fantastic would be mentioned more then once, especially sense there is a good few instances of giants in the bible. My opinion of corse; but I am quite certain that we would have heard more about them being the offspring or decedents of Fallen Angels and Humans, and the inference in that one verse is pretty vague.. Anyway,... Fallen Angels,.. Son's of God? I don't know about that? You may ask. Why then does God/Moses chose this time to mention Giants?. Well, I don't know, I guess we can ask Him/him someday. ;-) Thanks for the response OldPilgram, I appreciate you being here at the forum. I've always liked Old Pilgrams. ;-) God bless. John |

Hi brother! Well, I guess we have both come to our own "conclusions" on this one,.. so, I reckon we aught to burry the horse... Psalm 15 Many blessings to you my friend. God bless. John |

431 | Nephilim Humans? | Gen 6:4 | stjohn | 186756 | ||
Amen, A_Friend, And more then sensible, Jesus teaches us in matthew that without doubt, angels do not marie. Therefore, to take the view that giants are the offspring of angles and humans is anti scriptural,. Absolute nonsense! Matt 22:30 "For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. God bless. John |

dear parpar, If I've been remiss in welcoming you to the forum then... welcome to the forum! If you haven't read this whole thread I would, if you please, like to direct you to post # 26083 . This explanation calls for much less "speculation" if indeed any. By the way, I have to wonder,... if you believe that your explanation calls for, "pure speculation" and, "is in no way to be taken as foundational Christian doctrine". Why would you then adopt it? God bless John |

Hi parpar, Thanks' for your response. I hope we would not throw out a bushel of wheat, for one questionable kernel. :-) Please forgive me but, it seems like that is grasping. Having said that, I hope we can put those differences aside and, I'll respond to your continuation of this post where you said, "No where in Scripture does the Lord say, "Unless you understand what is meant by, the sons of God, or know what the Nephilim are, can you be saved"." Amen, I totally agree! God bless John |

434 | Why did God kill so many people in OT? | Gen 6:5 | stjohn | 230338 | ||
Perhaps you don't understand it as well as you think. Genesis 6:5 "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." |

435 | destruction of earth | Gen 8:21 | stjohn | 219900 | ||
I'm not aware of any newspapers prophesying the inevitable destruction of the Earth. In any case "what if" questions really aren't worth very much. What if chickens had lips? What if frogs had wings? Seems kind of silly, doesn't it? This is a Bible study, Not a, "what if" chat-room, Templeguy, and if you don't believe what the Bible says about the end of the world as we know it, then you may want to visit some other website. I'm quite sure you can find plenty of places out there on the world wide web where you can have what if conversations till the cows come home, but that kind of stuff is really not welcome here and, in fact, it is against the terms of use you agreed to when you registered to this forum. Please review the terms of use before you post again. Thanks John |

436 | destruction of earth | Gen 8:21 | stjohn | 219903 | ||
No It is not a contradiction. Sir, you are still not reading it right. He doesn't promise that he will never do it again, He promises that He will never do it again with a flood. He makes no promise to Noah in Gen 8:21 He is talking to Himself, and He qualifies it by saying at the end of His statement "as I have done" i.e. with a flood. | ||||||
437 | HOW DO YOU KNOW HE NOT A BELIEVER | Gen 11:6 | stjohn | 200398 | ||
Dear Irene I'd like to say, that, those who have tried to correct you, are doing so because of their love for God, His Word, and for you too, although it is really hard sometimes to divide that love because it's really all the same in a sense. We are all part of the Body of Christ. But, also, because of that, we must speak up, when we see a brother or sister, that is perhaps not handling His Word, rightly. I have not been here as long as Azure, BradK, Hank, or Doc, and many others. But I have learned very much form them, (in a relatively short time), and from the Word since my arrival about a year ago, and I can tell you that they have helped me a great deal in my understanding of God's Word. I know how hard it is to be corrected in public, nobody likes it, it's tough to take. So anyway, please don't think that just because someone is correcting you that they are doing it in a mean or unloving way, because they are not. It is because they have that love that they are caring enough to try to help you. By the way, thank you for not yelling in your last post. So please stop thinking that they are not loving just because you don't like to be corrected, after all, no-one likes to be corrected. So I hope this motivates you to try harder to be careful to do your homework before you post, so that those you are responding to, get the full benefit of God's Word. Speaking the truth in love! God bless John |

438 | Tithing before Mosaic Law | Gen 14:20 | stjohn | 217772 | ||
Dear Azure, Did you notice that Jacob put himself in the position of the one doing the bargaining, after, God had already promised him these things, without, requiring anything from him? This indeed shows the condition of the heart of, Jacob the schemer, doesn't it. It wasn't until much later in life that Jacob began to see the light and understand it was only by the grace of God that he was blest by welth and not by his own crafty bargaining. :-) John |

439 | Christ did not do away with the tithe | Gen 14:20 | stjohn | 217773 | ||
Dear saved... Welcome to the forum! FYI if you click on any given username you'll see in their profile when the last time they posted was. This user hasn't posted since 02 so you'll probably not hear from them. You have posted some good biblically based posts by the way. Would you please tell us a little something about yourself by filling in the user profile? :-) Thanks! John |

440 | Tithing before Mosaic Law | Gen 14:20 | stjohn | 217783 | ||
Dear Sister Azure, Amen and amen. I just came from the wood behind the soup kitchen were I work, and the thing I love about some of those people (homeless drunkards) is that they get that; they know that they have no hope but that is in Christ, and what they do have is from Him, even though it isn't very much. Many of them are saved, but only as if by fire. My prayer and my goal for them is to remind, and perchance, convince them that they are grieving the Holy Spirit. And my goal for the others is to give out the word so the Spirit of God will convict their heart. Much prayer is needed. Sorry for getting off track here, and for not keeping to the subject at hand. Seems a bit far off tithing. :-) John |
