Bible Note: Dear John. Here is the continuation of my previous post. Yo said. "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?" The questions asked are of academic interest only, as were the answers I gave. What I had to say will no way affect the salvation of anyone, or their standing before the Lord. 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". And that alone is why I described as, "pure speculation", what I said in answer to the two questions that were asked. My understanding of what is meant by, "foundational Christian doctrine", is to be found in such verses as, John 3:16. Rom 10:9. Eph 2:8-9. Gal 2:20, and so on. I hope the above has helped to clarify the situation for you. Every blessing. parpar. |
