Bible Question:
On one hand I tend to believe angels are androgenous, but in gen 6: 2 "...the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose." I was taught that the "sons of God" were angels and that this passage accounted for Goliath's giant size. This raises a question for me, Why does God blame man/woman so severely since it would be thought that the sons of God would be more accountable for their actions when compared to man. Humanity at this point reminds be of an infant, controlled by what feels good/bad, easily swayed by others, and still learning about him/herself and the environment thru trial and error. It seems God was rather harsh and definitely impatient when it came to his creation. I suppose the above question may be more rhetorical than not but I would appreciate anybody's further thoughts on this. Thank God for Jesus. |
Bible Answer: HI asilra Your theory sounds pretty good about Goliath, except that everyone died in the flood. Except Noah and his family, and there isn't any scripture to say that they were giants. So I guess it's back to the drawing board for that one :-( As far as the second part of your question, you said "Humanity at this point reminds be of an infant, controlled by what feels good/bad, easily swayed by others, and still learning about him/herself and the environment thru trial and error." I don't really see that much difference between them and us today, I guess were still learning. How about the fact that man is just corrupt, doesn't that sound like a feasible reason? does that answer it Vintage68 |
