What do we know?
I'll cut to the chase.
They were evil.
Bent on destroying the pure human line, which is the image of God.
And bent on destroying the Israelites.
Whose kingdom does that serve?
They were of Satan.
Evil spirits.
Fallen angels.
The Hebrew root word of Nephilim (Nephal and yim) means literally “fallen ones.”

Jude 1:6 mentions a subcategory of evil angels who left their domain, their proper dwelling place.

"the sons of God came in to the daughters of men"
It all hinges on who the sons of God are.

"sons of God" = spirited creatures = angels

(Or in the NT (after Pentecost) it can be similar to 'children of God': i.e. Spirit-filled believers).
Spirit is the key word here. To be a "son of God" is to be of the spirit, not flesh or not just flesh.
Spiritually dead people would not be sons or children of God. They would only still just be creations of God.

Thus:
Angels = spiritual beings thus = the sons of God.
Humans = with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit = spiritual beings = sons/children of God.
(Again, this only started happening after Pentecost).

"daughters of men" = normal human women

So these "sons of God" were likely the fallen angels/demons.
Evil spirits intent on violence and destruction.
And there are only males named.
No females.
Hence the need to take human women.

The "daughters of men" taken may very well have been demon-possessed.

Satan attempting to profane the human gene pool, as he would all things sacred to God, and what is more sacred to God than that which He made in His own image.

Jesus is Immanuel.
And He proclaims that your body is a temple unto Him.
Suicide is an unpardonable sin as it is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Mark 3:28-29
"him shall God destroy"
Suffering here on earth will be nothing compared to that.
Is murder forgivable, yes.
Because we can repent of it and still be saved, as Moses and King David were.
But in self-murder, there is no time for repentance.
"Repent or perish." Eze 18:30, Acts 17:30, 2 Peter 3:9
The devil whispers death would be an easier way because he wants your soul.
But Jesus is the way.
It is darkest always before the dawn.
God is mighty to save; our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in time of trouble. Psalm 46:1
Jesus is Immanuel.

@SipsWithSerra Oh boy.
Guard your heart.
Fiercely.

@BillArnoldTeach If only Jesus would walk the world, unity would exist.
Ha.
The Word wasn't good enough then.
And for many, it is not good enough now.

[Georgea @1Timothy612]

Great answer.
MERCY most fully reveals His character.
It magnifies His glory.
It demonstrates no one deserves salvation.
It reveals our true character in contrast to His.
And why His way is only ever always THE WAY.

[Georgea @1Timothy612]

The universe reveals the identity of the CREATOR:
· limitless universe = an infinite God
· endless in duration = an eternal God
· pulsating with energy = an omnipotent God
· phenomenally complex, vast intelligent life = an omniscient God
· containing love, emotions & relationships = a personal God
· full of goodness, righteousness, justice = a moral God

Hell is just permanent separation from God.
Only 2 options: with God or without.
Since God is the Source of all life, love, light, goodness, mercy, forgiveness, peace..., separation from this Source is simply a place void of these.
That is hell.
God does not send us there.
We make that decision all on our own.
An honest willingness is all it takes.
An invitation ... that opens the door for Him to work on our behalf, from the inside out, to get us where we need to be.
We were never meant to walk this world alone.

He gave me the strength in my limbs;
He meant I should be free.”

[Georgea @1Timothy612]

Yes, because they understood His metaphor.
No need for further clarification.
They understood He was claiming divinity,
and that was blasphemous - a death by stoning.
So they distanced themselves.
It wasn't a misunderstanding.
It was an inability or unwillingness to accept His teaching.
"The words I speak are spirit and they are life."
"The flesh profits nothing." John 6:63
Seek the flesh and die.
Seek the Spirit and live.
No confusion on their end.
Confusion came later.
The devil made sure of it.

If the church is physical, then it'll perish.
The entity that is the RCC will perish, but not all Catholics. God looks at the heart.
The kingdom of God can only exist within us, as spiritual members of the body of Christ through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
The promised Holy Spirit who seals us till the day of redemption.
The least understood Person of the Godhead is the key to it all.
And blasphemy against Him is the one and only unpardonable sin:

[Georgea @1Timothy612]

The Unpardonable Sin
There is only one.
Blaspheming the Spirit.

We remember the Pharisees in Jesus' day who did this, the "brood of vipers" were instantly damned.
How does it work today?

@AMDG_Derek Mmmm... if rosary beads lead away from the Creator, our Lord and Savior, in terms of spending time with the created instead, then I'd agree they should go.
The line is too thin at best.

[Georgea @1Timothy612]

God does explain.
In due time.
But He speaks in a small, still voice.
Not through feelings.
Not through chaos.
Not through complaining or confusion.
Most of us are Marthas and not Marys:
busy with the work of God, not busy in the stillness with God.
Do not fear isolation for it has the power to separate you from the world and its ways, from chaos and noise, so that still, small Voice can be heard.

Guard your peace.
Peace is a gift from God.
When we honor our peace, we honor our relationsip with Him, for again, without inner peace, He is hard to hear.

And last, problems are opportunities.
One cannot stand in the fire unflinching unless one has been burned in private over and over.
And over.

Meaning the Church does not replace Israel, ever.
They each have a role to play in these latter days.

So what does the addition of "the Israel of God" mean in the NT, as we see in Galatians?

[Georgea @1Timothy612]

🧵God is "the God of Israel" in the OT and the NT.
Testament is just another word for covenant.
But in the NT, there is an addition.
There is also "the ISRAEL of GOD".

In the OT, the Book of Ruth: the God of Israel

[Georgea @1Timothy612]

In the NT, in Luke: the God of Israel

[Georgea @1Timothy612]

The church = those Jesus has and is gathering into ONE.
Not one building, entity or institution,
but one BODY (His) of believers that will become His Bride.
The final gift from the Father to His Son will be His Bride.

So when a denomination/church/religion claims to be the one true church, please know that it is not.

"The way" to salvation is not through something physical.
It is through Someone spiritual.

[Georgea @1Timothy612]

What is the "church" Jesus is building in
Matthew 16:18 "I will build My church"?

church = ἐκκλησία = ekklésia =
ek ("out of") + kaléō ("to call") = called out ones

The ancient Greek word ἐκκλησία (transliterated ekklesia) literally means "assembly" or "gathering", specifically a convened group of people.

Not a location or entity.

It is the body of believers.
These are who Jesus talks about here...
