Well that explains Rogue06!
I'm saying that if man today knows how to genetically manipulate the reproductive system of a female mammal, allowing for parthenogenesis, the sons of God could presumably do the same. Or who knows what technology they knew that we may not even know today.
Of course biologists have no methodology. You would need to study an angels biology to come up with any conclusions. You will just have to wait until they capture one. No it entails that God created beings that can manifest themselves physically. Since the Bible teaches that, I don't see the problem.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." ― C.S. Lewis, God in the Dock: Essays on Theology (Making of Modern Theology)
Granted, the bible teaches that enfleshment is a doddle for spirits. Anything's easy when you're a spirit, apparently. =POf course biologists have no methodology. You would need to study an angels biology to come up with any conclusions. You will just have to wait until they capture one
It's kind of hokey, though. The sacredness of divine creation is diminished if any spirit can change from genderless spirit into the form of a male higher primate. That's godlike.
Can they become scorpions and squirrels, as well?
The sons of god manipulated female organs to be compatible with what exactly? Spiritual sperm?
I don't believe angels did consort with humans like Sean does, but I do believe angels can take on physical form and all that that entails.
But even if they did (and I don't think they did), the offspring would still be human. Human genes paired with human genes (which is what an angel would have to take on) equals human genes. It would make family reunions awkward and exciting but I don't think anybody would be getting super powers.
Why would God allow them to take human form and disguise themselves as an evolved primate? Could they also become antelopes?
Moreover, why would angels want to become lower than themselves?
If they're just normal human beings, why are they giants?
Angels and humans can disobey God. But there are times in the Bible where angels did take form of human flesh on the behest of God.
Our fantastic eating establishments?Moreover, why would angels want to become lower than themselves?
I haven't really studied the references to giants in the OT, but it's entirely possible its a reference to their notoriety and not their physical size.If they're just normal human beings, why are they giants?
Maybe your idea of "The sacredness of divine creation" is flawed? And why would that be their problem? Again, we don't have one to study so we don't know anything. For all we know they could be created as hermaphrodites.
Tell me why they wouldn't be able too? Can Satan become a snake (not that I believe this idea)? You are very limited in your view of how divine beings ought to work. We as humans have no clue what they can and cannot do.
