I missed something. Pride likes repetition?
I think that people in these forums, not just others, but myself as well, keep repeating things when they want to win. I think Magenta's doing that, though I know she'll deny it vehemently. But, am I guilty of it myself if I keep drilling my points back too?

So, I've made my points on this issue. I had NO intention of it becoming an argument, but with some people that becomes almost impossible to avoid. Almost. It is avoidable if one of the two walks away, which I will do now.

Avocadoes are berries.
How did this develop from having romantic involvements during the millennium period? Are we expecting lots of fruitfulness, including but no exclusively, fruit?

No, YOU covered that already. Similar species, but not the same kind. Grapes and apples are certainly not the same kind.
This might help .:)

https://biblicalscienceinstitute.com/origins/species-or-kinds/

Specifically: A kind is a group of organisms that are biologically related to each other –
all organisms that share a common ancestor or can interbreed. All humans belong to the
same kind because we are all related; we are all descendants of Adam and Eve. Conversely,
we are not the same kind as gorillas, because we do not share a common ancestor. Kinds are
therefore distinguished by their different ancestors which the Lord originally created.

During the millennium period? It's possible since death isn't done away with until afterwards, but the first resurrection has already occurred by then. Will babies be resurrected? fully grown? I hadn't really thought thoroughly through it. I have a tendency to interject my opinion wherever though...just in case anyone might be interested in it. Welll, maybe even when no one is...:sneaky:

Interesting thoughts. I do have theories on babies. I think they enter Heaven as kids, but grow up normally. Now... would God resurrect the infant that has grown up in Heaven? Oh who the heck knows, but if I were to interject an opinion :D I would say He probably would give them an adult body.

U may be right, for all I know, and only God would know for sure. Not fully understanding the significance of the verse, "the infant will die an hundred years old," causes me to wonder.

Grapes and apples are certainly not the same kind.
Grāpple is the registered brand name for a commercially marketed brand of Fuji or Gala apple that has been soaked in a
solution of concentrated grape flavor (methyl anthranilate) and water in order to make the flesh taste like a Concord grape.


Contrary to what the name implies, it is an externally flavored fruit product, not a hybrid of two fruits. source

DNA derived from a horse fossil that's between 560,000 and 780,000 years old suggests that all living
equids—members of the family that includes horses, donkeys, and zebras—shared a common ancestor
that lived at least 4 million years ago, approximately 2 million years earlier than most previous estimates.

If you don't mind laying out a little bit of the reason for your post I'd appreciate it.


It "would" seem clear but I detect undertones of bitterness and a bit of flippancy over the first two pages...I can't read through any more because it isn't good for my walk personally.

I'm not a stranger to bitterness about being single and yes, it does seem like a good thing is being withheld but are you really going to "take it to the bank" that he doesn't have a good reason? You may not agree with that reason and you may not like it or you may think it's "unfair" or whatever the case may be. What is faith though?

I could go on and on about my own struggles in this area and how my relationship with the Lord has gotten VERY rocky at times because of it but I won't. Why? I feel like it's a private matter and it's between the Lord and I. It's also something I feel strongly is inappropriate to share publicly.

If you made it thus far though, I've been given a lot of little "tidbits" about the Millennial reign that would make it all worth it EVEN still...It's not a guarantee that you even get to experience the millennial reign in my view and speaking error against the Lord and exalting what you feel like God is depriving you of seems unwise... It's hard, I don't discount that...stay the course. Personally I very much want the blessing of getting to experience humanity without the enemy present.

If you want to discuss how to stay the course despite the pain then I'm certainly open to it.

I don't get why the "sons of God" were demons. Why would demons marry anyone?? Would it not be more in their nature to just rape a woman?

Exactly, they were not fallen angels.

The sons of God is always a reference to men and never angels.

Hebrews 1:5
5 God never said to any of his angels,. “You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.” And God never said to ...

Beyond ridiculous how this stupid theory ever gained a foot hold in Christianity.

Do you really think the Sons of GOD were the line of Seth? Were the daughters of men, the line of Cain? if so, were the daughters of Seth really that ugly?

The word used in the Hebrew also means "good."

Ok. I was just goofing with Magenta while stating an axiom. So glad we are not arguing.

Although giants continued after the flood... aka Anakites, Rephaim, Emin, Zamzummim, Gibbor...

Modern day giants include Robert Wadlow...

View attachment 249119
I was looking for my video while you were posting this. There was a thread a while back on Giants. This subject interested me for a long time. Unfortunately, there are a lot of Photoshop images online. This is the real thing though.
You probably figured out that I was being sarcastic about Wadlow and Genesis 6:5.
Regardless, I'm sure there must be somebody out there who thought his mom married an angel and he was another Philistine or Amalekite.. 😄

I missed putting this in my previous post.

Maybe I'm asking too many questions, but I wonder if this guy is what verse 5 above is an example of ?

"And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually."

An angel who appears to be a statue, this is a kneeling angel, is actually taller than a Russian standing up, so if they have a baby with a woman, I wouldn't be surprised if it's someone over 3 meters tall

I have met people who are 6'6" tall, and they look like giants to me!. :giggle:. Samuel 17:4 describes Goliath
(the giant David slew) as being 6 cubits and a span tall, although the Dead Sea Scrolls' text of Samuel
from the late 1st century BCE, the 1st-century CE historian Josephus, and the major Septuagint manuscripts,
all give Goliath's height as "four cubits and a span" (that is to say, 6 feet 9 inches or 2.06 metres). Against
the historical record and despite Scripture itself, some accept Enoch as inspired (which it is not) where
giants are described as being 300 cubits tall. That would make them 140 meters or 450 feet tall.
.:oops:

I don't remember the description of the height of the giants in book of Enoch.
I don't think a normal woman can give birth to a baby will be 150 metres tall.
But I remember the Ark was 300 cubits long.
I think this whole giant thing in the Bible just tells me that heaven doesn't have sex and marriage.
Marriage just a lesson for fallen human not for the angels.

The angel in the video has a sword and shield in his hand, and I'm thinking maybe he's the same angel who taught people how to use weapons, the one described in Enoch.
