2 Peter 2 For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to [b]hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; It seems some here do not believe the above has really happened. It seems some here believe demons and evil spirits are fallen angels.

The angels who sinned are locked up in Tartarus, which is the lowest part of hell. Not humans, angels. Humans also go to hell. Hell is not monolithic, it has levels of punishments. Jesus talked of being beaten with few versus many stripes. But the punishments are not controlled by demons, that...

I believe God did lock them up in Tartarus, they are not free to roam the world. Do you then believe the garden of Eden, tree of life, tree of knowledge of good and evil, the fall into sin, the serpent speaking, the judgments of God pronounced on the serpent and Adam and Eve, the way of reentry...

Tertullian (/tərˈtʌliən/; Latin: Quintus Septimius Florens Tertullianus; c. 155 – c. 220 AD[1]) was a prolific early Christian author from Carthage in the Roman province of Africa.[2][3] He was the first Christian author to produce an extensive corpus of Latin Christian literature and was an...

An interesting discussion. I looked up what Church fathers said the Nephilim were of angelic origin Here you go, The Nephilim concept blends myth, theology, and cultural memory—often interpreted as a warning against boundary-crossing and divine-human transgression. Want to explore how this...

Of course, the 'angels which are in heaven' as in heavenly angels don't do that. But some left their proper place in heaven and came to the earth, which means they were sinning, disobedient, went against the command of God for them. They went AWOL for evil purposes.

Sons of God are also mentioned in Job These creatures are not men, not human beings. These are the same ones Genesis 6 speaks of. Satan appears to be of the same order of being as themselves. Peter also refers to 'celestial beings'. in other words angels. Angels also appear to be of a large...

How can a serpent speak human language? Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” He was a physical being, not a spirit. Satan took on physical form.

Referring to which part of the verse? 'He was a murderer from the beginning' To me this refers to the garden of Eden, where by his actions he caused the death of all people, Adam, Eve and all of humanity. And the lie was in how he spoke to Eve. In v4, he lied to her about the dying part, they...

Scripture calls them angels though, you have to agree with that. I agree the demons are different, IMO, were the Nephilim, who once were mortal hybrids of angels and women, who died in the flood, whom God left to roam as the evil spirits over the earth.

The clue is in what Jude writes, in v7, grammatically makes the comparison with these sinning angels and the people of Sodom and Gomorrah, what they did, referring to sexual immorality. 6 And the angels who did not keep their [c]proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in...

They can if they take on human form, that is the idea. Genesis 6 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom...

2 Peter 2:4 — The Core Passage “For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment…” — 2 Peter 2:4 The word translated as “hell” here is Tartarus (Greek: ταρταρόω), and this is the only time it...

I have wondered if the angels who sinned, are mostly locked up as it says here, we just do not know their numbers. 2 Peter 2 4 For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to [b]hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; 5 and did not...

Matthew 4, Satan, devil, same creature, a person, a fallen angel. Someone who has a third of all the angels in league with him, the prince of the power of the air, means more than air pollution. Matthew 4 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted[a] by the devil. 2...

Easy, when the fish are not biting, you don't catch anything. You also have to know where they go, they swim all over the place. Then there are these 'dead zones', where the water is anoxic, oxygen levels are lower, the fish avoid that. Fish also have to eat, so they go where they can find food...
