Entertain yourself with this thread.
http://christianchat.com/miscellaneous/58561-freemasons.html



Also, ISwareWare is a moderator. She has powers to removeth you from the site if you aren't careful. I know who she is.

Rachel is not her. Believe me.
Rachel is also the site genius. Literally. She studies constantly. May even have a degree in religious studies. Not sure. She doesn't claim to have all the answers, but is very beneficial to this place. Her intelligence can make someone be defensive at first, but she is a very sweet and Godly person. If I have half the knowledge she has I would be one lucky chick.

If they are so well versed, than why do they not attempt to answer my questions, and just attempt to ban me for no real reason other than they don't like my questions?

oh and I was joking with a friend. now he's my friend, he friended me. so looks like there's no hard feelings, why should I be Banned?

cause I know truth? and nobody wants to have to change their beliefs about the bible, even if the bible doesn't agree with their beliefs.

Calm down boy!
I don't know why they want to ban you. It isn't my business, but in the even you personally attacked someone then those are grounds for a ban.
We all want to be right. We all think we have the right answers, but you are rather assertive. Even if you were tight and everyone in the world was wrong there are ways to go about it. In kindness. Not outright calling someone a liar.

I like you. I don't often tell people on here I like them. This IS a compliment. You're a smart guy, and I like your threads, but PLEASE cool it a little. I don't want to see you banned.

Col 1:26 KJV - [Even] the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
Col 1:27 KJV - To whom God would make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Col 1:28 KJV - Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
Col 1:29 KJV - Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

so then do you believe that giants are the offspring of human and Man procreation given that the Bible says so here;'

Genesis 6:1-4

KJ Version

1.
and it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2.
that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all that they chose
3.
And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4.
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

cause thats what this says do you deny it?

i am amused by the fact that you are hijacking your own thread on heaven to restart a discussion on giants... :confused:

anyway...no i don't believe 'giants' are the product of human and angel procreation...and that isn't what the scripture you posted says...

I dont know if anyone has mentioned this. I am not about to read all the lengthy posts. I am lazy, but there is a view that "sons of God" were the descendants of Seth, and the "daughters of men" were from Cain.
The Godly were to be separated from the ungodly. The "mating" of the Godly and ungodly MAY have been a result of the Nephilum

It just looks to me in verse 5 of Gen Chapter 6 that mixing of the sons and the daughters may have been the key thing that caused the wickedness to spread in the world. Like evil took over the good. Then came Noah....

well although there are always exceptions...interreligious marriages often result in the children not being raised to fear God...

Size of New Jerusalem

There you go, assuming the New Earth are the same proportions as this present earth, then this is what the New Heaven will look like.

Revelation 21:15-17
15.
The one spoke with me had a gold measuring rod to measure the city, and , and its gates and its wall.

NOW finally my summery'
First off i don't know what the bigger problem is, is it can you measure heaven, or can a place honestly be that big. This is remind you the heaven everybody thinks of if they are thinking pearly gates, and gold streets. Fifteen Hundred Mile high walls.
I guess it's understandable that when one imagined Heaven it had to be magnificent by human standards, hence the gold lined streets and the huge wall. Great cities of that era had great protective walls and so naturally when the author of Revelation imagined Heaven he included an equally magnificent wall. In my mind this speaks to the imaginative power of the author. Who today believes that the city of Heaven must have a protective wall?
