As to your question: the spirit of the kind has its own flesh DNA pattern to build the house for the soul come to fruit in the kind. If a kind is mixed, the spirit of the kind is not producing the body God commanded it to do, for that soul to have as its house, and what is produced is totally a "lawless kind", and is illegal before God, and no; there is not salvation until after 10 generations of back-breeding into humananity, it seems -for a Canaanite could not come into the congregation of YHWH until the 10th generation: [the male line carries the seed, and therefore the spirit, of the kind; a female can come into the congregation of YHWH and marry into Israel, and bear legal offspring that are not Canaanite offspring, being married into Israel, because the spirit of the kind is from the seed of the father.
:doh: And at that point we left the envelope of controlled flight...

Enoch chapter 10:
4And again the Lord said to Raphael: "Bind Azazel hand and foot, and cast him into the darkness: and make an opening in the desert, which is in Dudael, and cast him therein. 5And place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with darkness, and let him abide there for ever, and cover his face that he may not see light. 6And on the day of the great judgement he shall be cast into the fire. 7And heal the earth which the angels have corrupted, and proclaim the healing of the earth, that they may heal the plague, and that all the children of men may not perish through all the secret things that the Watchers have disclosed and have taught their sons. 8And the whole earth has been corrupted through the works that were taught by Azazel: to him ascribe all sin." 9And to Gabriel said the Lord: "Proceed against the bastards and the reprobates, and against the children of fornication: and destroy the children of fornication and the children of the Watchers from amongst men: and cause them to go forth: send them one against the other that they may destroy each other in battle: for length of days shall they not have. 10And no request that they i.e. their fathers make of thee shall be granted unto their fathers on their behalf; for they hope to live an eternal life, and that each one of them will live five hundred years."


seventy Generations from Methuselah to Jesus Christ
11And the Lord said unto Michael: "Go, bind Semjaza and his associates who have united themselves with women so as to have defiled themselves with them in all their uncleanness. 12And when their sons have slain one another, and they have seen the destruction of their beloved ones, bind them fast for seventy generations in the valleys of the earth, till the day of their judgement and of their consummation, till the judgement that is for ever and ever is consummated. 13In those days they shall be led off to the abyss of fire: and to the torment and the prison in which they shall be confined for ever. 14And whosoever shall be condemned and destroyed will from thenceforth be bound together with them to the end of all generations. 15And destroy all the spirits of the reprobate and the children of the Watchers, because they have wronged mankind. 16Destroy all wrong from the face of the earth and let every evil work come to an end: and let the plant of righteousness and truth appear: and it shall prove a blessing; the works of righteousness and truth shall be planted in truth and joy for evermore.

The spirit of the kind is the driving force which is under the command of God the Creator to multiply the kind, by the seed created within the kind.
The spirit of the kind builds the flesh house for the kind, in the womb -or egg outside the womb- when a seed of the kind germinates by that same direction of the spirit/nature/force/being, of the kind.
The created spirit of the kind directs the multiplication of the kind from the beginning of it to the completion of it, and sustains it in its kind, until the body housing the soul dies.

All kinds are one created spirit, and each seed come to fruit in its kind has a share/a remnant of that spirit.

Malachi 2:15 shows us that Adam was not only made one flesh, bone, and blood, but one spirit, because God sought godly seed =sons of God, before the fall.

The accent in the word "liger" as used to descibe a "12 f tall cat", is on "lie". Anyway, you don't need gene splicing to get yerself your own live liger. All you need is one tiger and one lion, of opposite sexes, and persuade 'em to make whoopie. Barring that, you can use artificial insemination. The resulting "liger" is, as I recall, sterile, as are mules, and beefalo, and other such cross-breeds.

Maybe something to make 'em smarter wouldn't hurt.

Good grief, can anyone seriously ask these questions? A clone is a genetic twin of the parent critter, punto. Do identical twins have separate souls? Are they human, or is one human and the other not? Can you legally kill one twin using the argument that there were two of 'em anyway, so what's the problem? What about kids conceived in vitro? Are they human? (I hope so, my neighbor's granddaughter, their "jokomon kongju (little princess), aka the Million Dollar Baby, is a "test tube" child, and it'd break their hearts to find out that she somehow wasn't really human.

Is that where we've ended up, making up scary stories out of fear and ignorance and trying to paste it into the Faith once delivered unto the saints? Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison!

I wonder what would have happened if, instead of a tiger and a lion (still in the cat family)--they tried it with a tiger and a rhino??--
Twins--how about triplets, how about the 8 with Octomom??!! They must have bred her to a St. Bernard as 8 is no longer giving birth to children, at that point, it's a litter!!
How about the children of lesbians who have a turkey baster and good male friend? Is the father the turkey baster??--Inquiring minds want to know--which reminds me--I have to take out the garbage.

This short (17 min.) vid clip should bring anyone up to speed on the subject.

Not a lot of woo woo spiritual stuff. Just interesting archeological facts.

For some reason it has been deleted and re-posted a couple times on Youtube. It's also interesting that there isn't more common knowledge disseminated to the population on these matters. The Smithsonian has been a deposit of large skeletons over the years, but for some odd reason you just don't hear much about it or see them on display. When I was a kid most of the farmers in the area I grew up took this information as common knowledge as many mounds and skeletal remains had been recovered throughout the state.

It's quite interesting.

Separating Science Fiction From Biblical Facts!

Do I believe that demons can possess men? Yes! Through this possession, can they cause people to do evil against God and their fellow man? Yes! Now do I believe that demons can take on human form, and function as humans? No! This was a miracle accomplished only by Jesus Christ, "God manifest in the flesh."

Angels can and sometimes, do take human form. For instance, the angels that visited Abraham and Sarah took human form and even ate food with them.

Who are the sons of God?" And who were these evil people that God was about to destroy in the flood? Were they mere men, or were they some form of hybrid creatures. The first clue comes from Luke 3:38, it is simple in its wording, and very clear in its meaning.

"Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God." Scripture calls Adam, "the son of God." So the Scriptures clearly represent the first man as, "the son of God," as did the line of Seth, the son of Adam up to the flood, including Noah.

Angels are referred to as the "sons of God" in the book of Job (Job 1:6; Job 38:7).

If this evil event did occure, was it done with God's approval? I doubt it! Scripture are silent. To claim that these spirit creatures fashioned themselves into mortal men, and were capable of human procreation, and reproduction is science fiction.

This new creation of hybrid spirit creatures as some claim, had to have God's approval. Again Scripture makes no mention of this. Now we know that only God can breath a soul and spirit into a newborn child. So I ask, how was God convinced to do this thing by Satan? And if this were the case, God would be responsible for the wickedness that followed.

Fallen spirit creatures, given licence by God + fallen women, = fallen babies, = disaster.

Again if God did allow this, then it was God's responsibility that, "The wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." What power does a man have over any demon?

Is the LORD responsible for the rebellion of satan, since He allowed it to happen? Is the LORD responsible for the fall of man, since He allowed the serpent to tempt Eve?

These spirit creatures were aliens upon the earth, because they were created for heaven. Jude 6,

After supposedly taking on human form, false teachers claim that these spirits took mortal women for their wives. How they changed themselves is a mystery. Now being mortal, and no longer spirit creatures, they produced children, which are called giants. These newborns are referred to as, "Hybrids," they being a new creation.

As I understand it, the angels took human form and had children with mortal women, but they themselves, never became mortal. As punishment for their sins, the LORD has them in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day (Jude 1:6).

Did they exist in the original creation? No! But did God not say,

Ecc.1:9-10, "There is no new thing under the sun." ver.10, "Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us." Maybe God had no knowledge of them! I doubt it!

I don't think that verse applies to this.

Hebrew meaning for, "giants" is falling on, attacking, warriors, or rather destroyers, they being men of violence and blood. These came upon all who are weak and helpless. We see them in Job 1:15, as the Sabeans, who "fell upon them, and took them away, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword." Also, Josh.11:7, "Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, -- and they fell upon them."

And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. Numbers 13:33

If these spirit creatures could of their own power take on human form before the flood, are they doing it today? If not, why not?

Are angels taking on human form, even today? Yes!

Are demons taking on human form even today? No! (that would be a bit difficult since they are under chains).

Those who adhere to this false teaching will say they are not allowed to. If this is so where in Scripture does it say they were allowed to do this before the flood, and not allowed now? Its not in there. This falls into the category of opinions, false teaching, and a hybrid teaching, yet they are taught as Scriptural facts by many, and those who teach it will be dealt with severely by God, because they make God a liar.

In order to prove these so-called false teachers incorrect, all you gotta do is provide clear Scriptural evidence that refutes their doctrine. It's that simple.

when the bad angels fell from grace
I believe they did not loose the natural abilities that were part of their nature
so if the good angels can appear like men, I see no reason that the bad angels would not be able to as well

unless we believe that the ability for angels to appear human is a special miracle done by God and is not an ability innate ability of the angels themself

the Bible seems to be silent on this one way or the other

As far as the 'serpent's seed' theories within Christiandom they were branded (rightfully so imho) as heresies by the early churches.

So no, there are no 'human devils' as far as 'devils physical progeny' mixed with 'human physical progeny.'

This does not mean any of us are exempt from demonic internal influences though. That is an entirely different matter/conversation.

So if THIS is being discussed we are all 'inbred' to some extent, EVILly speaking.

There are genetics. There are spiritual matters.

Different matters.

Paul advised us all that we are to know no man after the flesh, not even Jesus.

In the bible, anytime an angel is mentioned by name--it is a male name. Did God make only male angels?? Jesus says in Mark 12:25--"for when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry or are given in marriage, but are as the angels which are in heaven."---That implies that the angels are sexless. For God says that sex is only permitted when married. And if He says it's a sin to have sex without marriage on earth, no way is He going to allow it in heaven where there is no sin. Why would God make angels able to have sex, but be unable to have it?--God told His earthly creations to go forth and multiply--that is not mentioned about the angels.

I don't believe that verse implies angels are sexless (neither male or female), but simply that they neither marry nor are they given in marriage.

There are 11 references to "sons of God" in the bible.
Gen 6:2
Gen 6:4
Job 1:6
Job 2:1
Job 38:7
John 1:12
Rom 8:14
Rom 8:19
Php 2:15
1 Jn 3:1
1 Jn 3:2

Take too long for me to type them all out. Those verses in the old testament imply that the sons of God are heavenly beings. The veses of the NT all state that we are the sons of God. "But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God."----"..we are the children of God." "That ye may be harmless and blameless, the sons of God..." Some say that this means that the sons of God in the OT can only be angels, since we are not called the sons of God until the NT. By that reasoning, no human before the time of Christ were sons of God. That would be utterly ridiculous, as the bible says that we are heirs of God--it would mean that no one before Christ came would be saved which obviously is not true.
In the bible, anytime an angel is mentioned by name--it is a male name. Did God make only male angels?? Jesus says in Mark 12:25--"for when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry or are given in marriage, but are as the angels which are in heaven."---That implies that the angels are sexless. For God says that sex is only permitted when married. And if He says it's a sin to have sex without marriage on earth, no way is He going to allow it in heaven where there is no sin. Why would God make angels able to have sex, but be unable to have it?--God told His earthly creations to go forth and multiply--that is not mentioned about the angels.
Jesus cast out demons while on earth, and so did His disciples. That means humans can be possessed by demons, as can animals, as Christ sent the demons of one man into a herd of pigs. That does not mean they have the power to impregnate a human, or an animal. Jesus never mentioned such a thing. There are no humans with anything other than human DNA.
When God created man and all animals, he said "after their kind."---that made it impossible for animals and humans to interbreed, or for humans to have children by anything other than another human.
Adam and Eve were created perfect, and there is no record of how tall they were. They could have been 10 feet tall or more for all we know, and those genes would have been passed on down to all of their offspring including to Noah and his children. It was after the flood that the lifespan of man was shortened, and probably their height also dwindled down except for a few that survived into the time of David and Goliath--the Caananites were giants when Moses sent out spies to check out the land. Nowhere does it say they were the product of angels (fallen or not) and humans. Today we have very tall people--they are not half demon.
Gen 6:2, Gen 6:4, Job 1:6, Job 2:1, Job 38:7, John 1:12, Rom 8:14 Rom 8:19, Php 2:15, 1 Jn 3:1, 1 Jn 3:2 NIV - the sons of God saw that the daughters - Bible Gateway

Lion king, thanks for taking the time to reply to my comments. But your responses are lacking any substance, no offence meant.

I wrote, "Do I believe that demons can possess men? Yes! Through this possession, can they cause people to do evil against God and their fellow man? Yes! Now do I believe that demons can take on human form, and function as humans? No! This was a miracle accomplished only by Jesus Christ, "God manifest in the flesh."

Lion king replied, "Angels can and sometimes, do take human form. For instance, the angels that visited Abraham and Sarah took human form and even ate food with them."

Phil replies, "To your comment I am in full agreement: but your proposition has nothing to do with answering my proposition which was, "Can these fallen spiritits take on human form, AND function (procreate) meaning furtalize a woman, and reproduce as would a mortal man? There is not one shred of evidence in Scripture that would verify this.

And by the way concerning the three that Abram saw. I agree that he saw, Gen.18:2, Abram saw three men, because Abram calls them men. But we also know that one of them was the Lord, because Abram calls him Lord, not upper case "L".

But this human form that God took on to himself was not a one time event. Example, the Lord was seen in the burning furnace, "One like the Son of man." He was seen in heaven by Daniel, and John, "One like the Son of man." He wrestled with Jacob; seen by Manoah and his wife, and throughout both the old and N.T. But this was God who can do all things.

But were the other two men, that Abram saw angels from heaven? First, they are called men in Scripture, for they ate, walked, talked, etc. They were also called angels, meaning messangers because this is what they did; they delivered a message.

Only when they left for Sodom were they called angels, meaning messanges, because this is what the Lord had instructed them to do, deliver a message. In no way does it mean they were spirit creatures. In [FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Rev.1:20, the angels of the seven churches, were probably the bishops or pastors of these churches, who were the delegates, messengers, of the churches to God in the offering of prayer, etc. [/FONT]

The two may have been men like Elisha, Elijah, Moses, or whoever, men who were given power by God to accomplish His will. Its not unusual for mere men to do miracles. Elisha made fire come down from heaven, Moses opened up the sea, etc. but these were mortal men doing God's will. We have no absolute evidence thee other two Abram saw were angels from heaven. Lot in Gen.19:2, calls the lords, not lower case "lord." What we are sure of, they were called both men and angels.

Phil wrote, "Who are the sons of God?" And who were these evil people that God was about to destroy in the flood? Were they mere men, or were they some form of hybrid creatures. The first clue comes from Luke 3:38, it is simple in its wording, and very clear in its meaning.

"Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God." Scripture calls Adam, "the son of God." So the Scriptures clearly represent the first man as, "the son of God," as did the line of Seth, the son of Adam up to the flood, including Noah."

Lion king replied, "Angels are referred to as the "sons of God" in the book of Job (Job 1:6; Job 38:7)."

Phil replies, "Again, I agree with your proposition, but it has nothig to do with my question. It has nothing to do with the sons of God that you believe are angels (spirit creatures,) who you claim turned themselves into mortal men and had children by mortal women.

Now concerning the words "sons of God." It also means children, or sons of. If someone is called the "son of God," it is said they partake of the things of God, as in "Children of the kingdom, Children of the light, those subject to the privileges and blessings of God. Sons of peace, sons of consolation, etc.

Then there are the sons of, or children of, (children is a synonym for son) the wicked one, meaning subjects, vassals of Satan, "Children (sons) of the devil." There are sons of this world; Children (sons) of disobedience, Son of perdition, etc. These partake in the things of the wicked one.

Conclusion, in no way according to the Hebrewism of the Scriptures would fallen angels be called "Sons of God,"

If I am incorrect please give me chapter and verse using the Hebrew word, "ben = son, sons, children."

Just wanted to point out a couple of things that were in the article but I think most folks here just saw the thread title and started debating.

Angels were able to take on a physical, human-like form. The "men" who went to Sodom for example. They were thought to be men, good looking men at that because the people of Sodom demanded to be able to have sex with them. Turns out, they were angels.

And then there's the passage about entertaining angels unaware. So they can take on a form that is at least close to human form. So the question is, in that human form (how human is unknown of course) could they "mate" with a human.

Someone said that the Scriptures didn't say that God allowed that. But the Scriptures also don't say that God didn't allow it so we can't know. And a lot of things that dark angels and humans have done have been things NOT allowed by God. It's called sin.

Another question ignored by those who argue that "sons of God" were descendants of Seth is the heroic and the near super-human states of the "Nephilim." Why would some be giants and they be called, "Men of renowned, heroes of old"?

There's some good points to be made for "sons of God" being angels in physical form. In Job, "sons of God" means angels as well as in other places in the Bible. It sure seems like the stretching and assuming is happening on the ones who are quickly dismissing the Nephilim being half human, half angel.

What is very amazing to me is that People do not look at what is happening TODAY and see what is happening in the science world and compare it to scripture. It is just amazing to me! How can you say you believe that demons can inhabit humans, or pigs for that matter, but you don't believe that a clone of yourself can be demonically possessed! What is this? Do people really deny what scriptures has revealed? Jesus said that what is coming on the Earth will be so horrendous that people's hearts will fail in fear! Jesus is our Lord so we need not fear, but so many of us who name Jesus as Lord do not believe that the things the Bible says will happen again actually will happen. I guess this is what Noah was up against when he tried to warn the world of the coming flood.

Not so much Noah as the boy who cried wolf.

There's a reason why we don't believe ligers, mules, and studying the human genome aren't fulfillment of ancient biblical prophecy: because the Bible doesn't say anything even remotely like that.

It never mentions gene splicing, it doesn't mention things of that nature. No where, at all, in any of its sacred pages.

It takes an inventive imagination to try and look at an apple and a basketball and say, "these are the same, they're both round...ish!"

Dan. 2:43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.(KJV emphasis mine)

Phil replies, "To your comment I am in full agreement: but your proposition has nothing to do with answering my proposition which was, "Can these fallen spiritits take on human form, AND function (procreate) meaning furtalize a woman, and reproduce as would a mortal man? There is not one shred of evidence in Scripture that would verify this.

I respectfully disagree. I believe that Genesis 6 speaks of angels (sons of God) mating with mortals and producing unnatural offsprings (giants/nephilims).

Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.

And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. Genesis 6:1-4


And by the way concerning the three that Abram saw. I agree that he saw, Gen.18:2, Abram saw three men, because Abram calls them men. But we also know that one of them was the Lord, because Abram calls him Lord, not upper case "L".

But this human form that God took on to himself was not a one time event. Example, the Lord was seen in the burning furnace, "One like the Son of man." He was seen in heaven by Daniel, and John, "One like the Son of man." He wrestled with Jacob; seen by Manoah and his wife, and throughout both the old and N.T. But this was God who can do all things.

But were the other two men, that Abram saw angels from heaven? First, they are called men in Scripture, for they ate, walked, talked, etc. They were also called angels, meaning messangers because this is what they did; they delivered a message.

Only when they left for Sodom were they called angels, meaning messanges, because this is what the Lord had instructed them to do, deliver a message. In no way does it mean they were spirit creatures. In Rev.1:20, the angels of the seven churches, were probably the bishops or pastors of these churches, who were the delegates, messengers, of the churches to God in the offering of prayer, etc.

The two may have been men like Elisha, Elijah, Moses, or whoever, men who were given power by God to accomplish His will. Its not unusual for mere men to do miracles. Elisha made fire come down from heaven, Moses opened up the sea, etc. but these were mortal men doing God's will. We have no absolute evidence thee other two Abram saw were angels from heaven. Lot in Gen.19:2, calls the lords, not lower case "lord." What we are sure of, they were called both men and angels.

I understand what you are saying but the Genesis 18 and 19 passage proves without a doubt to me that the men that visited Lot were none other than heavenly angels of the LORD.

Phil replies, "Again, I agree with your proposition, but it has nothig to do with my question. It has nothing to do with the sons of God that you believe are angels (spirit creatures,) who you claim turned themselves into mortal men and had children by mortal women.

Now concerning the words "sons of God." It also means children, or sons of. If someone is called the "son of God," it is said they partake of the things of God, as in "Children of the kingdom, Children of the light, those subject to the privileges and blessings of God. Sons of peace, sons of consolation, etc.

Then there are the sons of, or children of, (children is a synonym for son) the wicked one, meaning subjects, vassals of Satan, "Children (sons) of the devil." There are sons of this world; Children (sons) of disobedience, Son of perdition, etc. These partake in the things of the wicked one.

Conclusion, in no way according to the Hebrewism of the Scriptures would fallen angels be called "Sons of God,"

If I am incorrect please give me chapter and verse using the Hebrew word, "ben = son, sons, children."

You are correct, fallen angels can never be called the sons of God. Why can they never be called that? Because they chose to leave their place.

The angels in Genesis 6 were rightly called the sons of God because they only became fallen after taking themselves the daughters of man. Before that, they belonged to the LORD.

I think it's kind of interesting that whenever the topic of angels comes up, the weirdness comes out of the closet. Maybe this could have something to do with it?

Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in [false] humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase [that is] from God. -Col 2:18,19

Just a thought.

Who is taking delight in "humility" and worship of angels on this forum?
Please name names, and show your reason for such an accusation..
