Genesis 6, verse 2 ''the sons of God seeing the daughters of men, that they were fair, took to themselves wives of all which they chose''. The Sons of God are not angels! Epistle to the Hebrews 1:5 For to which of the angels did God ever say: “You are my son; this day I have begotten you”? Or again: “I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me”? --------------------- Sons of God= Not angels= Men= Adam & Eve and their children= Us. --- Event B=Daughtersof men= Monsters created by men are breeding with men, the result is visible in the skulls classified as Homo Ergaster, Homo Erectus, etc.= Recent history. --- Implied Event A= Men impregnating female monkeys= Creation of monsters. --- Verse 4, not the exact same event described in verse 2! Event C= Genesis 6 verse 4Now, giants were upon the earth in those days. For after the sons of God went into the daughters of men, and they brought forth children, these are the mighty men of old, men of renown. --- Here is the …More
Thank you for that! I understand the Fathers of the Church to say "the Sons of God, "to be the offspring of Seth, and the "daughters of men," to be the others that were not righteous. It is conjecture to find a deeper significance than the simple fact, "[4]"Giants": It is likely the generality of men before the flood were of a gigantic stature in comparison with what men now are. But these here spoken of are called giants, as being not only tall in stature, but violent and savage in their dispositions, and mere monsters of cruelty and lust." Mankind lived longer and hence were naturally bigger.
I also wrote this comment, now removed by Normand Thomas, on the deleted page (Normand Thomas 53. God cannot curse). "For the author of Genesis, by this biblical passage ... The author had not yet learned to distinguish between evil... '' Apparently, the fact that God is the Author of the Book of Genesis didn't come to your mind. ''We know that God cannot reprove, condemn, curse, this is absolutely not in his nature.'' Who is ''we''? God can send a curse on one’s flesh (Numbers 12:10). About the soul, God can condemn or curse someone following a sin or a life of sin. If one is still alive, there is always some hope for Salvation. One can escape from the Hell already present in his soul. The sentence or condemnation can be removed. The difference with a normal situation of a sinner is that the removal of a pronounced condemnation is difficult to achieve. But when someone has been thrown in the physical Hell that is not in this Universe, only then his condemnation is eternal. ''God doesn’t …More
The pastor who said ''Have you actually read the Bible?'' died in November 2022, less than four months after this interview. He was somewhat speaking like someone we know in Rome (not ideology but inclusion).
What people seem to ignore is that all cultures are NOT equally pleasing to God! This anti-colonialism push is just a secular slant on the heresy of indifferentism - the belief that one religion is just as good as another!
I don't understand why nobody screamed HERETIC or ERETICO during Francis' speech at Christmas Mass. Are the Romans not aware of what has just happened?
I agree with @Kenjiro M. Yoshimori that most people there are foreigners and tourists. I had this experience when visiting Rome a year and a half ago. The thing about being a tourist is, you don't want to make a scene or criticize the country your are visiting. Also the Vatican is swarming with security and police and anyone making a disruption will be promptly escorted out and detained or arrested. They are probably thinking Pope Francis is not worth the trouble.
I heard of a case recently where a man is appealing the fact that he has been held for more than a year awaiting psychiatric evaluation, despite the fact that the crime he is charged with has a maximum sentence of less time than he has been held. They won’t even let him plead guilty, because the psych eval will determine whether he is even competent to do that. The justice system has become a cruel joke.
Suspecting him of supporting the Ukrainian ''Orthodox'' Church (not the new ''Orthodox'' Church of Ukraine), a mob attacked a school director in the Lvоv region. It is also reported that the man spoke in Russian.
Good grief, now speaking Russian is a mortal sin in Ukraine. This is the madness of extreme nationalism, such that has not been seen since WW's 1 and 2.
Ukrainian Troops are Choosing to Surrender. Knowing they would otherwise run into their death like 30 to 70 thousands Ukrainian soldiers before them in the now famous big spring-summer attack. North-East of Klishchiivka near Bakhmut-Artemovsk. Filmed by Ukrainian drones, uploaded, and later deleted from Ukrainian channels. This was first uploaded by Ukrainian telegram channels thinking these were Russian soldiers. Once the geolocation came out that these prisoners were walking towards Russian controlled territory, Ukrainian telegrams all began to delete this video.

The difference between the heliocentric and geocentric systems is the formulae of the former are simpler than the formulae of the latter. After Einstein few if any profs teaching cosmology are concerned with positing a center of the unIverse. It is man's intellectual ability that makes the earth the center--but not necessarily the geographic center--of the universe.
Il presidente ebreo Zelensky sta ancora perseguitando cristiani "ortodossi" in Ucraina, costringendoli a cambiare la loro religione, la loro fede e la chiesa in cui credono, per la nuova chiesa statale. Per metterlo in prospettiva, è la stessa situazione per loro come quando Enrico VIII ha costretto la Chiesa cattolica d'Inghilterra a sottomettersi alla sua (allora) nuova chiesa personale nel sesso secolo. In Ucraina del 2023, il capo di questa nuova chiesa scismatica, essendo il governo ucraino e i suoi servizi segreti, è anche rappresentato pubblicamente da "Metropolìta" Epifany Dumyenko, un uomo scismatico non canonico le regole, poiché per i fedeli "ortodossi", il consacatore (il patriarca autoproclamato in questo caso) non deve essere scismatico (per loro filarot era scismatico), perché in tal caso, tutti i suoi sacramenti sono invalidi e ci devono essere Almeno due consacratori (Filaret era solo secondo il patriarca di Alessandria: non posso verificare quest'ultima affermazione). …More
Jewish president Zelensky is still persecuting "Orthodox" Christians in Ukraine, forcing them to change their religion, their Faith, and the Church they believe in, for the new state church. To put this into perspective, it is the same situation for them as when Henry VIII forced the Catholic Church of England to submit to his (then) new personal church in the sixtheeth century. In the Ukraine of 2023, the head of this new schismatic church, being the government of Ukraine and its secret services, is also publicly represented by ''metropolitan'' Epiphany Dumyenko, a schismatic man not canonically consecrated to the bishophood, according to their rules, since for the ''Orthodox'' faithfuls, the consecrator (the self proclaimed Patriarch Filaret in this case) must not be schismatic (for them Filaret was schismatic), because if so, all his sacraments are invalid, and there must be at least two consecrators (Filaret was alone according to the Patriarch of Alexandria—I can not verify this …More
