God 's Spirits Of Lust

A group of two hundred “Watcher-class” fallen angels descended to Mount Hermon. These were special angels commissioned by God to watch and observe humans and human activity on Earth. In my opinion, these “fallen angels”, under the direction of Satan, took an oath to take human wives and create human hybrids in order to corrupt the human genome.

4:7-13 The Spirit of God is the Spirit of love. He that does not love the image of God in his people, has no saving knowledge of God. For it is God's nature to be kind, and to give happiness. The law of God is love; and all would have been perfectly happy, had all obeyed it. The provision of the gospel, for the forgiveness of sin, and the salvation of sinners, consistently with God's glory and justice, shows that God is love. Mystery and darkness rest upon many things yet. God has so shown himself to be love, that we cannot come short of eternal happiness, unless through unbelief and impenitence, although strict justice would condemn us to hopeless misery, because we break our Creator's laws. None of our words or thoughts can do justice to the free, astonishing love of a holy God towards sinners, who could not profit or harm him, whom he might justly crush in a moment, and whose deserving of his vengeance was shown in the method by which they were saved, though he could by his almighty Word have created other worlds, with more perfect beings, if he had seen fit.

to scatter your enemy, to drive him before you,to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears,and to gather into your bosom his wives and daughters." Genghis Khan, much like the Hebrew Bible during certain points, regards women as objects. However, to write the Hebrew Bible off as fully misogynistic would not do the ancient texts justice. From Genesis to Judges 2, the Hebrew Bible objectifies women, uses them as scapegoats, but during certain points rises them to the level of highly admired Prophets and warriors. This essay attempts to explore the various undertones of femininity depicted throughout the Hebrew Bible.

The great American scholar, William Foxwell Albright was an American Biblical archaeologist, and is considered to by many to be the “father of Biblical archaeology,” because of his contributions to the archaeological historicity of the Bible. “More than any other scholar Albright’s astounding corpus of books, articles, and public lectures defined a new relationship between archaeology and Biblical studies.”

The Bible Among the Myths begins by stating that while the information since the 1960s has remained unaffected, the scrutiny has altered. The author, John N. Oswalt, begins his text by introducing the relative understanding of the Old Testament and Ancient Near East’s way of life and religion. Oswalt addresses the change of Israelite religion in comparison with other religions that were once believed to be unique by scholars. It is presently believed that the Old Testament is practically indistinguishable to the other religions of its time.

One of the major rituals in the Greek religion was to sacrifice an animal. Sacrifices were important as they showed the relationship between gods, humans, and animals as they should be. The Gods, were on the top and were more significance than the humans and animals. They asked of sacrifices and the humans had to provide it. The humans were as important, but under the gods as they had to follow the requests of the gods. The animals, had not power, and were disposed of whenever a sacrifice. Animals were created to be sacrificed by humans in their worship of their gods. Sheep and goats were the most often sacrificed animals as they were common and easy to kill. Specific animals were related with specific gods; Hecate for instance was commonly

One rabbi states that not only was Satan an active agent in the fall of man, but also the father of Cain. He was also instrumental in the offering of Isaac and the release of the animal destined by Esau for his father. The sin at Sinai, the death of Moses, David's sin with Bathsheba and the death of Queen Vashti can all be laid at his feet. Haman obtained a decree to destroy all the Jews that was written on parchment brought by Satan. When Alexander the Great reproached the Jewish sages about their rebellion, their response was that Satan had been too mighty for them.

After the evil fallen angels/ watchers had intercourse with mortal women, the females became pregnant, producing enormous creatures; whereupon, these gigantic hybrid beings became known in Hebrew as the Nephilim, meaning the fallen-down-ones. The meaning implies they transformed as tall celestial beings that fell or (made) from the sky, becoming barbaric in every possible way. These beings transpire being referenced to in the Bible in Gen 6:1-4 and there are other accounts of the Israelites dealing with these giant creatures. (Also the suggestion of another righteous group of Watchers, the angelic Grigori in Hebrew, known as the ‘Irin,’ mentioned in the Old Testament Book of Daniel, chapter four.

Pagels describes the development of Satan throughout her book and how Christians used Satan to demonetize others. Pagels begins with the destruction of the Jewish Temple by the Romans in 70 CE. The Jewish war poisoned the relationship between Jews, “as the revolt spread to towns and cities, the Jewish population divided” (3). Those who were not following Jesus were then labeled as being Satanic and evil for having different views. Pagels describes Satan in earlier times when he was not looked at as a monstrous being but was one of God’s angels, the angel that had a job of “blocking or obstructing human activity” (39). In many eyes this angel would have been viewed as the evil

These strange rituals have all the markings of the fallen angel Azazel’s legacy; as the underlying motivation and strength of lust exists as fear and control; therefore, the development of Satan’s presence through religious means becomes fitting. The Bible states Satan wanted to sit or possess the “Mount,” (this could allude to sexual organs), of the Congregation and be like God” (Isa 14:12). The doctrine of Satan’s evil wanted to control humanity through sex; which certainly became achieved with an array of devilish

The biblical history of ancient Israel is replete with warnings against worshiping false gods. Several times God compelled the Israelites to repent for unbelief and God always forgave them. After one particular rebellious episode, God dispatched a horrible plague of serpents to torment the people; however, in his mercy, God instructed Moses to raise a bronze snake high up on a pole so all who looked at it would be healed of snake bites. In this way, God miraculously transformed a symbol of suffering into a source of comfort and strength.

The Holy Spirit of God is the active force or power in one’s life, which most certainly includes spiritual formation (Pettit, 2008, p. 46). When Jesus was speaking with his disciples he made it clear – by using the analogy of a vine and branches – that apart from him they could do nothing (John 15:5). Only if one is connected to Christ will they have the ability to bear fruit and the way Jesus empowers those connected to him is through the Holy Spirt that that father will send in his name (John 14:26). The fact is that the triune God dwells in the Christian in and through the Holy Spirit. One sees this when they place multiple passages together to gain a full understanding of this concept. For example, Jesus made it clear that he and the father would come and make their home with the disciple (John 14:23). In 1 Corinthians 6:19 Paul reminds the Corinthians that their bodies are the very temple of God because the Holy Spirit dwells in them which is similar to what Jesus said would happen when he sent the Holy Spirit after his resurrection and ascension (John 14:17, 16:7).

They also engage in deception, adultery, theft, rape, the production of evils for humans and are enslaved to their desires: "the murderous work of manslaughtering Ares"

One of the most unusual stories in the Bible was told by Jeremiah. (Jer. 36: 20-25) When King Jehoiakim learned about the scroll which contained the Word of God, as prophesied by Jeremiah, he “sent Jehudi to bring the scroll.” “And Jehudi read it in the hearing of the king.” “Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month, with a fire burning on the hearth before him. And it happened, when Jehudi had read three or four columns, that the king cut it with the scribe’s knife and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.” And neither the king nor his servants were afraid for what they had done. A short time later, Jehoiakim died
