That Day will come as a trap on all the world
RE: That Day will come as a trap on all the world
So this rapture, does it include ALL the abrahamic religions or just the one prof belongs to?

If not, I want a refund Undecided

It said that Noah was perfect in his genealogy- they translated it "generations" but more precisely it was his genetic make up.
God's verdict on the flood victims was that every intent of all of them was evil all the time.
He gave them 120 years to repent, the time lapse for the building of the ark.

"Fallen angels"? Why were these fallen agels even able to procreate? what's keeping them from doing the same now? That's not really an answer for why Yahweh killed everyone. He should have actually truied improving society and fixing things, instead of killing or ordering the killing of everyone who didn't conform.

I guess it's the divine equivalent of fixing your pc. We all know we shouldn't but who hasn't just switched it off and on at the wall in frustration. Give the poor divinity a break!

Good question. What I really have to wonder about though, is this: some denominations believe that god gave the angels the ability to form human bodies with full sexual function, which is strange enough. But if the "sons of God" in Genesis 6 refer to angels, then the implication is that they found Earth women to be attractive before they took human form. So did they have spiritual boners?

Isn't it obvious? They're fallen, and they can't get it up. Angel

I can think of one possible explanation. Angels were created with a desire to love God and have fellowship with him. Those that sinned and fell away from God because of sin were no longer able to fulfill this desire so they looked for a substitute. They were attracted to humans because we are made in God's image.
His invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

Wait a minute. Angels must be female if they have to love god, otherwise they'd be gay which is forbidden. So if they fancied human women they must be gay anyway, which proves that all angels are gay. I think. Thinking

That implies that even when their free will was subverted, they went against god's wishes. Interesting.

I'm not so sure about the last part, though. Their attraction was a physical attraction to human women, whom they took as wives. I assume that their love for god was more akin to the sort of affection a child would have for a parent (hence the references to god as a father) or the veneration owed to a deity.

The Bible tells us nothing about the gender of angels or even whether that have such a characteristic. When angels appear to people it is always in the form of men.

Angels appear to people? Angels exist?

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
