Sabastious,
I hardly think Jesus would have alluded to an event people were familiar with if it wasn't true.

It must have been an unnatural event, what else would you call it?
Yan,
Sorry, but I believe both exist, and just because you can't except one doesn't mean I have to.
thetrueone,
I understand where you're coming from. People only go by what they know and can measure. The Flood was an unnatural event, meaning it was supernatural, and therefore out of the bounds of our scientific reasoning.

Breakfast, another question would be, why would they necessarily find only women attractive? Angels are spirits, but they are males too?
Also, couldn't angels have found animals attractive? I know, bizzare and disgusting, but one has to push the boundaries on these discussions sometimes to get a point across.
Angels are genderless. In the Bible, they appear in the likeness of men in harmony with the Creator's preference that they are "sons of God" - but they can go either way, as men or women. It is whichever they have a preference for or what they feel inside.

I think your comment in regards to the subject of the flood is the antithesis to your screen name
Elderlite,
The demons were punished by being prevented from materializing into flesh and blood as they once did. The Ark was the safety vessel to the new Earth to a new world. Because badness is inherent in mankind, it would eventually spring up again into the offspring born after the flood. This is what will happen during the Millenium as new offspring are born and come to maturity. Those who want to disobey God during the 1,000 year reign will be given sufficient time to alter their thinking and behavior. Those who don't will die before the Millenium ends.
thetrueone,
thanks for the video, I'll take a look.
Yan,
I believe the Bible. If the Flood is a lie, then Jesus was lying when he made reference to it.
thetrueone,
Down through the milleniums, humans have suffered the judgment of vessel death, and for those involved in judgements, like Adam and Eve, and those who died at the flood, this was a complete death with no chance of a resurrection.
In God's eyes, vessel death is termed as natural death except in the case of those that perish during a judgement. Adam and Eve were under judgment of wrath and God simply let them age to death so they could see what they had lost over the period of time they lived.
The natural death that occurs is because since the time that sin entered humankind, all have died off in successive generations. Even those of the pre flood era eventually died before a thousand years had passed. God altered his purpose that mankind live for eternity so death became a natural order of things.
