Some people call or might call them persons, but not the people I know.They are called "angels."
Dear me.Some people call or might call them persons, but not the people I know.
Some people call Yahweh a person, even though Scripture shows clearly otherwise.
Etc.....
Many times they are in human form.Angels are NOT people and are NOT made of flesh. Try again?
Angels can appear as flesh BUT they cannot be flesh and inherit the Kingdom of God, where they live. 1Co 15:50
Except for the ones walking the earth, of course.
Heb 13:1 Continue in brotherly love. 2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.
Genesis 19:1
Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening as Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground.
Genesis 18:2
When he lifted up his eyes and looked, behold, three men were standing opposite him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed himself to the earth,
Depends on how you define "persons". If it expands to cover sentience in general, I'd say sure, since AI technology has come pretty far as of late. Though, one could argue that since the AI is a product of humans which are a product of evolution, that makes the AI an indirect product of evolution, but I'd call that nitpicking.Can persons exist sans evolution?
"But these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like animals they too will perish." 2 Peter 2:12one could argue that since the AI is a product of humans which are a product of evolution
The troll in me wants to say: "their pun names".Do you know what made Adam different from all the males before him? Do you know what made Eve different from all the females before her?
Angels are persons, so the answer to my question is YES.Depends on how you define "persons".
But where the heck did the woman who Cain married come from? Why did Cain build a city for for people? As history books go, Genesis fails by every standard.The troll in me wants to say: "their pun names".
Now that that's out of the way, the bible treats Adam and Eve as the first two humans, hands down, so if I take it literally, there weren't any males or females before them, and if I view it as an allegory, I don't have to view them as literal people that existed in the first place. So, invalid questions on both accounts.
Can persons exist sans evolution?
Nod.But where the heck did the woman who Cain married come from?
Did he?ruthiesea said:Why did Cain build a city for for people?
History can take a hike.ruthiesea said:As history books go, Genesis fails by every standard.
Either/or.Your statement is ambiguous. Do you mean if there never was evolution, or if evolution stopped now?
Good thing you said this.I don't believe in Angels.
I pray someday you'll have a change of heart.
QV please:
As a former atheist, here’s what I would say to you:
1. Don’t. Stop. Praying.
God says that He wants all to come to repentance. If you pray for your unbelieving friend, God delights in answering your prayers because it aligns with His Word. Pray knowing that lives are being changed.
