    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    Brotherman, you said the following..... Then I ansewered with this..... So I merely ADMITTED that no such scripture does. And it, in fact, doesn't to my knowledge. So you then try to turn my admission around, saying I'm "denying the word of God". You actually contradicted yourself here, in...

    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    Also, the act of *presenting themselves before the Lord* occurred on Earth. In the King James Bible it says that Abraham "stood before the Lord" and Moses was "before the Lord". So I don't get where people think that "before the Lord" had to be in heaven

    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    There is no scripture which "declares" this directly. The Bible says to "compare scripture with scripture" to rightly divide the word of truth. So, here goes....... The "Word", Jesus Christ, was in the beginning, and He was God John 1: 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God...

    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    Thanks, I only mentioned the Book of Jude because it is almost invariably referenced as a proof text whenever this subject comes up; as it was earlier in this thread.

    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    Here's how I believe God dealt with the "Nephilim". The Bible says that Noah was "a preacher of Righteousness"(2 Peter 2:5) So I believe those Nephilim heard that preaching, or at least heard of it, and unfortunately rejected it of their own free will.. They were simply large /tall/ fierce men...

    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    Another question: if all the Nephilim were killed off in the flood, which they were, why do we find more in the Book of Numbers? Num 13:33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the angels cohabiting with women: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were...

    Before Abraham was, I am

    Because it conveys the fact that Jesus is the eternal one. Not only is the "I Am" Jesus, but the statement is even more profound. Check out this verse..... "For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that...

    Pentecostalism's sketchy origins

    "repentence" means to "turn from" or "turn against" something. In other words, you STOP doing what you're doing instead of merely denouncing or being "sorry" for it. It is obvious, from seeing ResidentAlien's second video, that Mr. Benny Hinn did not "turn from" bilking people out of money.

    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    The Book of Jude is addressing the problem of "certain men crept in unawares". It then compares these "certain men" to three (3) different groups from the Old Testament. It specifically says which of those 3 groups went "after strange flesh". You even put it in bold. 3 groups: #1 The angels...

    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    Genesis 6 says that the "sons of God" took WIVES. A "wife" is not merely a "cohabitation". And the angels in the book of Jude "despised dominion" and "left their own habitation". Actually, God threw them out. The ones in the Book of Jude who "defiled the flesh" / "went after strange flesh"...

    Pentecostalism's sketchy origins

    Other than the false tongues, the main error is their common teachings that one can be saved then lost again. And that one must keep themselves saved to make it to Heaven.

    Is Baptism necessary for Salvation?

    Right. God is not 3 separate persons. He is three persons in one. Jesus said "I and my Father are one" for example. How can that be? How can God speak into nothingness and create matter, energy and life? How can He walk on water? Make the blind to see? die and rise again? I don't understand it...

    Is Baptism necessary for Salvation?

    Brother, Any physical act, whether it's batheing or blinking an eye.; anything you "do" is a work. Salvation takes place in the heart. Nobody can see "a salvation". But you might get to see the results.

    Is Baptism necessary for Salvation?

    Brother, that doesn't even mention "baptism". Salvation is by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Salvation from what? Sin, self and Hell! One gets saved by turning from sin/self to Jesus by faith. ALL of salvation takes place in your heart. A blind, deaf, mute, quadriplegic who can't...

    Is Baptism necessary for Salvation?

    It's astounding how people will jump through hoops, climb the tallest trees and hang upside down whislin' Dixie just to prove their doctrines in the Bible. Bro, the thief on the cross died right next to Jesus and, correct me if I'm wrong but, the time period of Jesus' life is recorded in and by...

    Is Baptism necessary for Salvation?

    ...and no, baptism is not necessary for salvation. Salvation is about turning to Jesus in your heart, by faith. Dunking in water is a "work". The thief on the cross went to heaven but had no opportunity to be baptized in water.

    Is Baptism necessary for Salvation?

    "Sons of God" are always believers. Human believers. They are defined as such in John 1:12 and at least 2 other places in the NT by saying things like "we"(believers) are the "sons of God" and "they"(believers) are the "sons of God" . There is none such passage which equates "sons of God" with...

    Grandma and Grandpa are out sitting on the porch rocking. After awhile grandma looks over at grandpa and sweetly says, Honey, I'm sure proud of you. He replies "what was that?". So she says a little louder "I'm sure proud of you!". He says "huh?". Much louder she replies: "I'M SURE PROUD OF...
