Bible Question (short): Whose bad hermeneutics? |
Question (full): Dear Brent Douglass, So what you are saying is that the idea of angels procreating with humans is just as shaky as demons doing the same? If this is so, I am in complete agreement with you. Indeed the 'bad hermeneutics' started with those who blandly stated 'as fact' that the 'sons of God' were angels, right? If I am guilty of anything, dear friend, it is for taking the absurd to the next 'logical' step of absudity, which was exactly my point. After reading your 'bio,' I am careful not to take offense at your 'argumentative style.' Please afford me the same courtesy and do not be put off by my sense of humor :-) I love you, friend and colleague, in Christ Jesus, charis |
