I think you made my point, Marty.
I never brought your name up, but from my perspective, you're one of the ones who seems to enjoy ripping people apart the most on this forum...
and you do it with near impunity time after time.
So much so, that it amazes me that you are unable to see how you come off to others that you make such comments to and no one calls you on it, either.
Respectfully, I urge you to examine yourself and your attitude towards those that you disagree with.
I can say with all honesty that, in the two years that I've been here, I've never seen you ask forgiveness for any of your biting comments to others, and post # 30 is simply more proof that you don't seem to care what you say when you're offended.
Marty, there is a way to reply graciously to someone even while disagreeing with them.
Granted, it isn't something that a Christian grows into overnight...
But for someone who's been a believer for years?
At some point the Spirit of God should be getting a hold of that person and directing them to passages like Romans 12, Colossians 3, Titus 2:1-10, Titus 3:1-11 and many others that speak to what our outward conduct should be towards believers and to people in general...
Even on forums where the anonymity of the internet makes it so tempting to fire off a broadside with impunity.
Whether or not anyone gets vicious with me, I know very well that I have no right to wipe the floor, verbally or in print, with others.
I also know that in everything I do, I am to obey the Lord and His commandments.
In the end, how you conduct yourself on this forum is between you and Him...
But I don't have to believe for a minute that when you reply with viciousness or even continuous sarcasm and scathing rhetoric, that you're doing so out of a genuine respect and love for other's well-being.
More than likely, I think it very probable that you simply don't care how you conduct yourself, especially on the internet.
Truly, I hope that that changes in the near future, sir.
Until it does, I will continue to keep you on my ignore list.
Incidentally you're not on it because we disagree on things that the Bible teaches;
You and people like utilyan are on it because of how you come across to others that you do disagree with, and the disrespectful content of some of your posts.
That said, regardless of whether or not I take exception to your behavior, I do wish you well, sir.
I also wish God's blessings upon you in both your daily walk with Him and in your family life.
Good evening to you.
Think, weight:
that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
Nephilim means apostates. They were indeed destroyed by the flood. Those apostates were large (giant) men, as Job and Genesis relates. Nothing to do with angel-kind, though satan feared for his life during the flood. There were still large men after the flood, because Noah was a large (giant) man, and his sons, and their sons also large, even some genes still producing large men into the time of the entering of Canaan (sons of Anak, Goliath of Gath, etc).
Think, weight:
Mat 27:5 And he [Judas] cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
Judas also hung upon a tree, and everyone that hangeth on a tree is cursed (Galatians 3:13), just as the serpent hung from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 3:1).
Deu 21:22 And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:
Deu 21:23 His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God
Act 1:16 Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
Act 1:17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
Act 1:18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
Act 1:19 And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
Act 1:20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.
The two texts are not contradictory, but complimentary. The one (Acts) gives further detail after Judas hung himself from the tree. His body falling from that height, burst open, and the dogs came to eat the remains, as it was in type throughout the bible. Thus, later that same day, on the road from Pilate's hall to Calvary, there came an interruption to the shouts and jeers of the wicked throng who were leading Jesus to the place of crucifixion. As they passed a retired spot, they saw at the foot of a lifeless tree, the body of Judas. It was a most revolting sight. His weight had broken the cord by which he had hanged himself to the tree. In falling, his body had been horribly mangled, and dogs were now devouring it. His remains were immediately buried out of sight; but there was less mockery among the throng, and many a pale face revealed the thoughts within. Retribution seemed already visiting those who were guilty of the blood of Jesus.
Jesus purchased a field. So too did Judas. Which field are we purchasing?
Mat 13:44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.Judas sold all that he had, which would be Christ, for 30 pieces of silver.
In the sense of apostates, correct. In the sense of giant men, no. Noah was a giant man, he was 600 years old, 601 when he got off the boat, and lived another 350ish years (Genesis 9:29). So also his sons were giant men.
A king of Salem, and a priest of the most High God (Genesis 14:18; Psalms 110:4; Hebrews 5:6,10, 6:20, 7:1,10,11,15,17,21), whose priesthood extended back to Adam (see previously cited texts). A righteous man, whose genealogy, goes back to Noah, back to Adam/Eve (Genesis 3:20; Acts 17:26).
There were two angels (John 20:12), Gabriel and 'Herald', the two guardian angels of Christ Jesus (John 20:14), and those who cover the mercy seat, standing in the presence of God (Luke 1:19). The same two (Luke 24:4) were seen at Jesus ascension (Acts 1:10).
It isn't, and never is in scripture. The phrase 'just before dawn' and 'around sunrise' cannot possibly apply to any of the timeframe of the 7th day of the week (Sabbath) in that part of the narrative. The sabbath was already past by many hours.
No, where the Bible speaks the truth of the matter of those following God becoming apostate, and intermarry with those not following God, the pagan religions mess it all up with their phantasies. What is amazing is that so many persons calling themselves Christian rely upon such paganistic carnalities and reject the plain words of scripture.
