I have a working theory that the Watchers were/are corporal entities and distinct from the angels we typically think of in the Bible. "Angels" is kind of a generic term that really doesn't tell us much. We lump all angels together, but who's to say God didn't create a plethora of angels that are...

Ok, why do you believe it is a "genocide"? What evidence to you have that it is a genocide? Can you name one person who was supposedly killed in said genocide?

Care to elaborate on this?

Pleasure is the incentive for sex, but procreation is the biological reason sex exists and the only reason why God created it.

I can try, but in my experience it doesn't do much good. Applying Rev 2:9 and 3:9 to Jews today is a misinterpretation. It was directed toward certain groups in John's day, not an indictment of all Jews today. So, two things. There has always been a continual Jewish presence in that region...

Have you considered that not everything is symbolic or that you may have confused the symbolism?

I could cite the verse, but if you are going to turn everything into symbolism/allegory, we won't agree.

The end result of allegory.

Satan, evil, and the suffering it produces are unfortunate byproducts of free will. There will always be those who choose to rebel against God, and that has led to suffering. But without free will, we couldn't freely choose to love God, which is what He wants. To blame God would be to negate...

It seems you like to pick and choose when "angelos" refers to divine angels. Tell me, why is it translated as "angels" in 1 Co 6:3 in every Bible translation? Did all the biblical scholars somehow miss it? No, because "angelos" means angels (i.e. divine beings). That's the way it's used in the...

I would think that the context would make it clear if the quote was an endorsement or a repudiation. I don't see anything to suggest it was the latter. What I do see is that Enoch shaped their worldview; otherwise, why would they quote it at all? Jude calls Enoch a prophet, and there is no other...

I can't think of any country on earth who would not retaliate if they were attacked the way Israel was attacked on 11-7-23. But for some reason, Israel is held to an impossible standard that no one else is held. It's also unfair to hold them to Christian standards when they are not a Christian...

Thank you for responding. 1 Co 6:3 says that we will judge angels. How do you reconcile that? Why would we need to judge angles if they cannot sin? I'm curious to know where you're coming from. Do you believe Lucifer\Satan is an actual entity? What are your views on hell?

I addressed that assertion in the pervious thread, but you never responded.

The U.N. has a long history of anti-Israel bias. Rom 11:17 And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree, Rom 11:18 do not boast against the branches. But if...

Terrible idea for so many reasons.

They're also called strawman arguments. It's fairly easy to bolster your own argument by distorting someone else's argument to make them look silly.

Some would suggest the Zodiac is a corruption of the Mazzaroth (Job 38:32). The Bible itself says the stars, along with the sun and moon, were given for “signs” and “seasons” (Gen 1:14). The Zodiac, on the other hand, is used for astrology, which is expressly prohibited in the Bible. Given that...

You said the Star of David is found nowhere in scripture but then go on to associate it with the "Star of Rephan" in the same breath. So which is it? Is it in the Bible or not? You're attempting to create an association when no such association exists. There is no physical description of the...

Let's look at this from another perspective. Suppose a parent has an unruly teenage child: Parent: You never do what I tell you to do, and you keep getting into trouble. If you keep this up, I'm kicking you out of my house! Child: But Dad, how will I survive on the streets? Don't you love me...
