Angels

TheCatWoman

Does anyone believe in angels?

What do you believe them to be?

What about nefilim, the half human half angel hybrids that the Great Flood from the bible was supposed to have wiped out?

I find the whole subject fascinating, quite a few cultures have angels in thier religious beliefs, some of them not from an Abrahamic tradition. 

As someone said on another thread, do angels have the equipment to procreate?

Lucifer who was said to have been cast out of heaven by god along with his followers and went to hell and became the devil and demons etc, did hell already exist? Was it vacant when Lucifer took up residence there? A Lucifer figure appears in many religions and myths to, whats-his-face being punnished for giving humans fire and the other one who pushes a rock up a hill everyday only for it to roll back down every night and the one who has his liver pecked out by and eagle on a daily basis, why do we need these transgressive figures who appear to want to aid human development only to be punished by god who seemingly dosen't want us to develope?

There are also lots of myths about Watchers, Grigori and others who are the decendents of the Nephilim and keep watch ove rthe earth and certain individials and maybe bloodlines?

  • Yes, I do believe in angels. They were not human beings. I am a Christian and in the Old Testament God in Psalm 104-It is stated that he makes his angels spirits. They are so beautiful. They work for God and in the invisibe world. They can also act as messengers for God in today's world.

    They can also morph into human beings for job as well as was the case of Jacob as reported by Hosea the prophet. i don't think Jacob was wrestling a angel being in front of him.

     What about the Nephilim, do you think any of thier decendents still walk the earth or were they all wiped out, that of course if you believe they exsted at all?

    The next paragraph is contraversial and may upset some, but these are questions that are often raised and rarely are satisfactory answers given.

    One of the things that always concerns me about so many biblical stories is the implied incest and 1st cousin marriage, would we not have all died out from inbreeding? Whilst you don't need a huge population to maintain genetic diversity, it does need to be bigger than Noah and his family or Adam and Eve. Who did Cain and Able marry if they were humans number 3 and 4? Did they marry thier sisters or what? 

    What about the incredibly long life spans of people like Noah who is said to have lived for over 300 years.

    What about the books that never made it into the offical bible, like that of Thomas or the weirdness of the Enochian writings?

    My literal mind is so confused by that. Obviously they are invisible, because we cannot see them (well, duh). But do we have to take it on faith that they are beautiful?
