That was kind of unnecessary. Do you think I'm not aware of this?

So, the kids that were getting eaten also had to be wiped out? Even the babies, and the animals? Every living thing? There was no other way for this all-powerful being to kill them off without taking out the innocent? Give me a break.

i wouldn't be surprised if they were killing kids and eating them, debauchery of all kinds, pure evil and wickedness in every way, were kids weren't even safe. don't use your imagination unless you want to puke.
to get God fed up, it must of been sickening to watch and see day in and day out.
drastic actions need drastic solutions. that's why it only occurred once in mankinds history. and it'll happen again if there is not one good person left on earth worth saving.
So I read this to my children and they did not understand what it was saying. Can you simplify it even more?

For the child in you, you know you have DNA. You know we are involved in matter. You are aware science sees evidence for the result of involution, which is evolution. You now need to decide. Is evolution the cause of life or a result of Spirit?
An upgrade to DNA is offered to us all if we seek the Spirit we came from. A new Robe (Body) and Crown (Mind) is also offered in place of the one we used to first involve into matter. If we fail to reach back before the final judgment, we are left behind.
It's always a choice and that choice is by Faith. Collapsing wave function works by choice and belief to make indeterminate determined. If you want to make your salvation determined, collapse the wave that is offered as a gift.
Your DNA depends on it.
Read the Verses in this Thread (Update to my reply to you the last time).
In other words, you make some innocent creature pay its life for your own mistake? Why don't YOU pay for the mistake? How does sacrificing an innocent creature make things better?

When a man sacrifices an animal to atone for his sins, he is saying "I am sorry I have sinned. Please accept this from me as a form of payment.". Also, the sacrifice is carried out in a certain state of mind, meaning he needs to possess the right intent, which is most important. He should not do it thinking "oh man, thats one less sheep in my flock now".
Sounds to me like he doesn't exist if this is the case. I mean, how do you differentiate between something that doesn't exist and something that is not in our time and space, outside of the concept of cause and effect?

I don't see the problem here at all. God exists outside of time and possibly outside of the concept of cause and effect, which is really just an illusion, a constraint imposed on creation.
Good question. Maybe the animal was marinated in "special herbs and sauces".

Hi Mama, yes I have read the Book of Enoch. I mentioned it earlier in this thread, as it was eluded to by another poster speaking of angels mating with humans. I questioned that theory, as to how it was possible for that to happen. He said angels were shapeshifters and could match their dna with ours so that they could be compatible with us. I then asked what this god was thinking when he created them knowing they could mate with us...isn't he all-knowing? Didn't he know what that would lead to?

From my pov... from my studies, I conclude that..
When we read ancient texts we have to get into the "scene" of the "time".
Before man was created there was spirit. Living spirit/energy.
In Genesis we are referred to as "stars"and angels. We are created from star "dust".
When the flood came we were a mixed species.... not just human. The Nephilim imo were not human and the beasts of the ground were also mixed.
If you have not researched the Book of Enoch, I encourage you to do so.
In other words, you make some innocent creature pay its life for your own mistake?
Why don't YOU pay for the mistake? How does sacrificing an innocent creature make things better?
Because you're substituting it for something YOU did, when YOU should pay for your crime yourself.

A very valid point....but whats with the sudden concern for "some innocent creature"?
Innocent creatures are always being killed to be sold to us as a meal.
I keep seeing deep fried pieces of innocent creatures appearing in advertisements... on billboards and newspapers and menus, with a price tag....everday.
And how does giving up your property make things better? Could he have given up his house? What about his clothes? What about his money? Did it have to be a life? Why not his own life?

People saw these innocent animals (sheep and cattle) as property back then and people see it that way today.

It's for a different reason. To eat it. Not to offer it as something that makes your faults go away.

As a religious practice, the owner of the animal could have used it to payfor something he did.
Sounds cruel, but the secular way of killing the same animal as food isn't any better.
And that made it all better? There was no way to be truly sorry from their heart? Again, I don't make my kids do outrageous things just to tell me they're sorry. Most of the time, I forgive them even if they don't ask.

Owning animals was probably a status symbol back then. I guess sacrificing an animal back then was probably like being asked to hammer a dent into your expensive sports car.
Never heard of a game creator entering his game to become a character, then die for them...
Originally posted by Bleeeeep
If it helps, try to think of our reality as a game and every being is a character. If you are the game creator, would you care if the characters get hurt feelings? Since they truly are nothing but characters, it shouldn't matter...

So, what we have learned here is that this ALL-KNOWING god sent a flood to kill the Nephilim. He failed.
