yes instead of striking them dead he decided to flood the entire planet killing every living plant and animal {sorry peta members} which only afew years before he created declaring it "good.
" then he made a "rainbow" as a sign that never again will he destroy every living thing.. wasn't this over the top?.

Bohm,
It's not my decision to make.
The angels that came to Earth did not keep God's commands. They crossbred with humans and two different kinds of flesh became united. One made originally from the material of the spirit realm that was shelled in a human vessel. Their relations with women produced a different seed that was never intended - the Nephilim. Leviticus 19:19 "You are to keep My statutes. You must not crossbreed two different kinds of your livestock, sow your fields with two kinds of seed, or put on a garment made of two kinds of material."
Jehovah considered the fallen angels to be perverted. He saw no difference in the holy angels that betrayed him and mated with humans, and vise versa, it is all perversion and goes back to the fallen angels that began the perversion. God built in a safety net so the Nephilim could not reproduce, revealing that God did not bless the two unnatural unions.

No, bohm,
Regarding the children, it doesn't make much sense. However, the offspring of the fallen angels, the Nephilim, could not be saved, nor could the wives of the fallen angels be saved since what had occured in God's sight was a perversion.
The Nephilim could not benefit from the ransom sacrifice since this was only extended to humans from the Adamic line. The Nephilim were counterfeit humans.

The calling on the name of Jehovah which started openly in the time of Enoch during the pre-flood era, was not considered
wholesome in Jehovah's eyes by many that called upon his name. This was because the fallen angels developed lofty eyes for
both male and female companions, and came to Earth to materialize as flesh and blood and had made the secrets of the heavenly court
known, including God's name that Adam and Eve had made known to their children whom passed it on to successive
generations.
Many of the fallen angels called upon God's name, considering themselves still a part of God's family even though they left their original positions in heaven and forsook their proper dwelling place. Those angels encouraged humans to call upon God’s name, hoping that God would accept their intervention, intermingling and blending in of them with humans. They hoped God would forgive and accept the alternative path they took. They wanted nothing more than to remain in human form and continue living on Earth. By their works, mankind knowingly blasphemed God's name by following the lead of the fallen angels; this was unforgivable in God's eyes to those that knowingly did so; those on the fringe were offered salvation via the ark.

I have often asked this question myself.
I think the Flood served more than one purpose - it destroyed wicked humans and forced the disobedient angels to dematerialize their human bodies. In addition, the flood also destroyed the preflood cities which contained knowledge given to humans by the fallen angels.
any thoughts on the existence of invisible agents as a potent force in human affairs?.
why people believe invisible agents control the world.
a skeptic's take on souls, spirits, ghosts, gods, demons, angels, aliens and other invisible powers that be.
Alice,
Thank you for the very interesting article.
Although I have left the JWs, I still believe in the Bible. I think what makes it hard is for people to accept the existence of spirits or angels is that they are seen as purely mythological beings because of their association with the Bible. I think in reality, they are another form or life and are alien to this world.
my camera got to see her - the back of her.
too many people for me to get through with the wheelchair.
i stood up held my camera in the air and clicked in the direction i hoped she was in.
I have seen Prince Charles outside the Tower of London - we were going to look at the crown jewels.
Governments come and go every four to five years but the monarchy endures.
people, please don't be angry at me, but do you sometimes ask yourselves this question?
i do..
African GB member,
In times past I have asked this question. What if I'm wrong? I think the latest change in the Generation teaching proves once and for all that the WT society is led by a bunch of elderly con artists.
why has god allowed this system to go on for soo long?
he's god he doesn't need to prove anything to anyone!
why have the billions that have lived on this earth had to suffer for what two people did in eden?.
PSacamento,
Interesting point you make.
Satan's miscalculations of how mankind would react under a given situation reveals that he underestimated some would remain faithful; in the spirit realm a little more than one-third of God's angels became unfaithful.
God chose Job because he was of perfect integrity and turned a deaf ear to Satan's way of thinking; although Satan did not choose Job, he lumped Job in with his theory that all of humankind were exactly the same; he used the same ideology that direct creations like the angels shared a common root with mankind and only served God for the same reasons that people like Job were faithful. In Satan's mind, faithfulness to God came with a high price, so he questioned Job's integrity:
Job 1:9-11 "Satan answered the LORD, "Does Job fear God for nothing? Haven't You placed a hedge around him, his household, and everything he owns? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions are spread out in the land. But stretch out Your hand and strike everything he owns, and he will surely curse You to Your face."
Satan reasoned that as long as things went well for Job, he would remain faithful but if God appeared to alter things, then undue hardship would cause Job to turn on God.
why has god allowed this system to go on for soo long?
he's god he doesn't need to prove anything to anyone!
why have the billions that have lived on this earth had to suffer for what two people did in eden?.
I don't think anyone truly understands why this milleniums old issue has lasted so long.
For those that believe the Bible, it is mystifying why suffering has not ended after 6,000 years. The problem is, we don't have all the facts.
We only know what happens here through various forms of media and our own personal experiences.
We know nothing about the spirit realm and on this the Bible is virtually silent, with the exception of a statement by the apostle Paul: "We have a wrestling, not against blood and flesh, but against the governments, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places.”
The Devil's job and that of his followers is to prevent Bible prophecy from happening (think back to when Herod tried to eliminate the infant Jesus); if he can do that, he can win his godship and live forever, although the scriptures make it clear that God will win this war.
