DaRage, yeah you bring up a few good points. I'm not sure if those numbers really referred to the body and spirit. I explained it a little ways back in the thread, but it could very well have a double meaning.

Yes ktprktpr, I was wondering the very same thing.
Genesis 1:26-27
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.

So, basically, because of God's perspective, He knew how things would play out from the very beginning. In that sense, everything is pre-ordained. But just because of this fact, DOESN'T mean He is forcing us to choose. He simply KNOWS ahead of time what decisions WE will make, and He has figured that into His plan!!! Make sense??? Lemme know!

"Genesis 6
The Flood
1 When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. 3 Then the LORD said, "My Spirit will not contend with [1] man forever, for he is mortal [2] ; his days will be a hundred and twenty years."
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days-and also afterward-when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown."
As for the Holy Trinity, that is a Catholic belief as far as I know, correct me if I am wrong. The Father the Son and The Holy Ghost are all the same person.
So you are saying it's kinda like the Queen of England saying "We' are displeased? Even though she is referring to herself?
The Nephilim are the descendants of the "sons of God"* and the daughters of men. Genesis 6: 4
*KJV translates this word as "sons of God", but the New JPS Translation of the Torah translates it as "divine beings".
Concerning the word "Nephilim: This specific word (Chaldean in origin) is only used in two places in the Bible. This passage and Numbers 13:33 which is where Caleb and the spies reported back on what they saw when they scouted the land of Canaan. ALL other references to giants use a different word. The JPS translation translates these two references Nephilim. This word is plural in both instances. "For other Chaldean ancient versions of these texts the meaning is "the giant in the sky, i.e. the constellation Orian, plural the greater constellations. Etymology of this word is uncertain." Some have compared this with a similar Chaldean word which has been rendered as "great, large in body; but this is incorrect; for it means, excellent, noble, skillful. It seems to be preferred to render it in the context of "falling on, attacking..." (This information is taken from Strong's Exhaustive Concordance and Gesenius' Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon of the Old Testament)

It is no secret, God created man to love and serve him.
KrazyIvan:
Yes they were all their, they all tell different aspects of Christ's life from each of their unique points of view. This helps us to better understand him because we are able to see four different views of God.
