Repentance, What Does It Really Mean?

Is Repentance Required For Salvation Or Is It Considered To Be "Works"?

Question: Repentance, what does it really mean? Is repentance required for salvation or that is considered to be "works?"

Answer: Greetings in the most glorious Jesus name!

Repentance is a gift of God that we receive through faith, which when utilized by us the recipient, will bring a godly sorrow within our heart to make us turn towards God and in humility make us receive God's solution for our sin, and come out of the resultant crisis we are in that has separated us from God and His fellowship (Isa 59:1-2). God supplies this life changing gift to the sincere seekers who reach out to him by faith. This spiritual transaction happens when God speaks to them through his word, servants, etc... (Rom 10:17), when the recipients humble themselves before God enough to acknowledge their own unworthiness before God and His holiness and accept the perfect solution of God in Christ Jesus who justifies them for the Glory of God (Rev 3:19; Prov 1:23; 2 Cor 7:8-9; Heb 11:6; 6:4-6; 12:14-15; Luke 18:13-14).

What did Jesus say? "From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (Matt 4:17). REPENTANCE is NECESSARY, without it, we cannot know whether our FAITH is GENUINE or not (1 Cor 16:13; 2 Cor 13:5-6). Repentance is a gift of God that becomes active in us when we seek God sincerely to save us from sin BY FAITH THROUGH receiving His GRACE (2 Tim 2:25; Eph 2:8-9; Acts 11:18)!

Our godly sorrow leads us to repentance, which further leads us to salvation from sin (2 Cor 7:9-10). Praise the Lord! That is why we need to repent and be saved. Then we need to repent and be sanctified, repeatedly until we die and go on to be with the Lord. Then our reward will be great in heaven. Repentance cannot become a work as it is a perfect gift from God (Heb 12:16-17). During the event of salvation, part of the saving faith that we receive initially will have the repentance recipe added in it. During the process of salvation after we are saved, part of the sanctification faith will also have the repentance recipe added in it by God. Hallelujah!

What does it mean when Jesus said that he is the true shepherd? Is it about spiritual shepherding, that Jesus is speaking about? Who is the gate and its true relationship to the sheep?

What Is The Spiritual Significance Of The Sheep, Gate And Shepherd?

Question: What does it mean when Jesus said that he is the true shepherd? Is it about spiritual shepherding, that Jesus is speaking about? Who is the gate and its true relation to the sheep?

Answer: Greetings to you in Jesus wonderful name!

Here we go with the Scripture:

John 10:1-5,6, 7-18 - "1 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5 Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.”

6 Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.

7 Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. 11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. 12 But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. 13 The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. 15 As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. 16 And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd. 17 “Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. 18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.”"

Many people who do not have an idea about Jesus of who He is and what He has come in to the world for, often tend to see the plaques of Jesus as a shepherd taking care of the sheep, and wrongly come to the conclusion that he might have been a literal shepherd. But that wrong understanding comes due to ignorance, Jesus was a carpenter by profession, and by inheriting his earthly father's business (Mark 6:3; Matt 13:55; Luke 4:22; John 6:42).

Usually only saved people understand that Jesus is God and that He is the one and only true spiritual Mediator between God and humans, and to the saved who believe Him to be the Savior He further continues to be a Chief Shepherd sent by God for all to be guided in to eternal life of God (1 Tim 2:3-6; 1 Peter 5:4; 1 John 5:11-13).

"Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture."

The one who makes a legal way of entry for the sheep to enter the flock is the shepherd, only the thieves and robbers usually come the illegal way to rob the sheep. But the true sheep that has been fed by the shepherd will not hear the voice of the thieves and robbers. Who are the thieves and robbers? They are the religious priests and scribes and pharisees of all religions who claim to lead the devotees towards God, but instead only rob the devotees of their belongings to lead them in to darkness of self and not toward the the true one and only God the Creator. Not only that, Jesus claims himself as the one and only door for all humankind to reach toward God. He who believes Jesus as the only begotten Son of God, becomes saved and then will go in and out of fellowship with God because of the inherent sin nature within them , but will be able to constantly find pasture spiritually because of the new nature of God that has become a part of them that sanctifies them to be among the sheepfold under the Chief Shepherd's guidance to find pasture now and forevermore eternally. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!

"10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. 11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. 12 But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. 13 The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own."

Who is the thief who steals everything that belongs to humans and uses them as his own to build his own kingdom of darkness? Every good and perfect gift comes from God above who is the Father of Lights (Jam 1:17), these He has given to humans as a gift which Satan and his demons have stolen to build his own empire which takes people away from God. Satan enflames the fallen sinful selfish nature, and then when people get addicted to their own nature, then Satan starts to steal and empty everything within them to make them spiritually empty and take the God given life out of them. O what a pity!

First Satan and his cohorts steals the joy of life which is a gift from God through addiction to sin and self, then kills the life they were supposed to enjoy and chokes them enough to keep them empty, and then finally Satan's tries to destroy the souls of people completely through his evil deception of suicide, murder, sickness, fornication, adultery, jealousy, hate, anger, malice, etc... finally it all leads to death.

Coming back to God through Jesus restores the life that God has given spiritually to enjoy, God's presence becomes real to make us all enjoy more abundantly like in heaven, on earth now itself for the Glory of God.

Jesus presents himself as the one and only good shepherd, and there is no substitute to him because as a sinless shepherd His life that was sacrificially given to redeem the sinful human sheep's, his unique life has no one to match because it is the only acceptable sacrifice God has accepted to bless humans supernaturally on behalf of Him when they follow him.

Who is a hireling? Hireling is not the shepherd, he is not the one who owns the sheep, when he sees the wolf coming, he leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. In other words, a hireling is not really a shepherd but rather they are religious people who do what they do for money without real love behind it. Their true color of their character becomes know only when some spiritual danger begins to come for the sheep. At those critical times these hireling will run away from the sheep to save themselves and their own empire. These hireling who are hypocrites who hypocritically act as though they are people's true savior, they reveal their sinful fallen nature of their character to all sheep when danger comes to the sheep. These run away hireling cannot save a single soul to make them go to heaven, but instead will lead the soul in to the darkness of hell fire and lead them away from God eternally. These hireling are deceptive agents of Satan and his cohorts who transform themselves as the angel of light (1 Cor 11:13-14, 15), but at the end they will judged by God for their works as they all remain unsaved to the end. The wolf is Satan and his evil minions, along with the false prophet in whom they work to deceive people and take them away from God. These wolves always catch the sheep's and will scatter them because their intention is to kill them to fill their own belly and voracious appetite for money and fame. The hireling is a religious shepherd who does it for money and therefore a hireling, and they consider the sheep's who follow them as a item and a commodity for their own use, and therefore when in danger of being led to hell fire by Satan and his cohorts along with the false prophets who are wolves in sheep's clothing (Matt 7:15-20), immediately they flee fearing for their own lives and does not take care of the sheep to protect them.

But Jesus who is the good shepherd knows each saved person individually by name and He is known personally by his sheep through the Spirit of God who has been sent on behalf of him who is like him in everything to reveal Jesus to all his sheep's individually (John 14:15-18, 26; 15:26; 16:7-15). Praise the Lord!

"15 As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. 16 And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd. 17 “Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. 18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father."

The true character and sacrifice of a good shepherd has been lived and accepted by God, and displayed by Jesus before the whole Universe. The Father has put His approval seal over the earthly life of Jesus as He declared from heaven, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." (Matt 3:17). Jesus too declared about the Father God right from his childhood days onward through his life and character of purity, and declared it even through his ministry to all people who believed him (Luke 2:49-50; John 2:16; 5:17, 19-20; 8:29; 14:7). When it was know that the Father has accepted Jesus as the Mediator between God and humans, John the Baptist cried out, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" (John 1:29). Thus, only Son of God could become the one and only legal heir of the Father, who has Begotten Him in fulfillment of his previous promises through the resurrection of Jesus in a glorious body to never see death anymore (John 1:34; Acts 13:33, 35). Truly Jesus who knew the Father and who is known by the Father, finally was able to lay down his life for the believing sheep in the nation of Israel who saw it all to live with him and were called by Jesus as friends (John 15:13, 14-15; 3:29). The same message of the good news of his virgin birth, death and resurrection was preached in all the world and have been believed outside the nation of Israel for the last two thousand years time have been brought in to the sheepfold of Jesus from all Gentile nations (1 Cor 15:1-4; Acts 13:47-48; 15:12-17), as they were all been under his guidance, have heard his voice personally through salvation, and were kept by him as one flock and under the one Chief Shepherd who is Jesus who have guided them in to eternal life (1 Peter 5:4). Hallelujah!

Father God in heaven loved the sacrifice of Jesus and accepted it perfectly because it was given by Jesus the Christ voluntarily for us humans, and Jesus took back the God-head power back again once all things got fulfilled as per the requirement (Luke 23:46; John 17:3-5, 6; 19:28, 30). Jesus voluntarily laid down his life for us His sheep, because of His love for us who have been sin sick and ready to go to hell and receive eternal death as a wages for our own sins. But thank God, Jesus as the sinless Son of God, had the power to lay down his life as a acceptable sinless sacrifice, which only could be accepted by the Father in Heaven as He demanded it. Jesus' sacrifice was accepted by God the Father, because He was the one who commanded Jesus to lay his earthly life down for the sheep followers so that they could all be saved and have eternal life! Praise the Lord!

Jesus as God could not cease from the form of God which was in his spirit, but what he did was that he voluntarily gave up the rights to use the power as God even though he did not consider that making Himself as equal with the Father on earth as a robbery because He was in fact God (Matt 1:23), and by making himself as a bond-servant and coming in the likeness of men, Jesus emptied Himself of His privileges of God voluntarily and humbled himself to learn obedience to the point of death as a perfect human, which extended even unto the death of the cross (Php 2:5-8; Heb 5:7-9). GLORY!

O what a humble Jesus and a powerful master we have to follow in our own life as His sheep! Truly we are blessed more than all the people of the earth.

Because Jesus the Christ our Messiah is the True Shepherd, He has become our Good Shepherd! May we stay faithful to follow our Chief Shepherd all the days of our earthly life, and continue to be guided by Him in our eternal life too!

Much Blessings....

Will God Increase Our Faith If We Ask Him To Increase It?

What Does The Parable Of The Master And The Servant Teach Us Regarding Faith And Duty?

Question: Will God increase our faith if we ask Him to increase it? What does the parable of the master and the servant teach us regarding faith and duty?

Answer: Greetings in the most holy name of our Lord Jesus Christ and Savior!

Parables are earthly stories of this world used by Jesus to reveal the heavenly realities and truth of the Kingdom of God that cannot be seen, but exist already to rule over this world. The Kingdom of God is recruiting new citizens of heaven from earth, and parables are the guidelines given by God to understand and get trained to have this attitude of heaven fixed in each of its citizen's heart to get trained for heavenly living through growing in the nature of God more and more to love it and live through it in the future for the Glory of God.

Faith and forgiveness always go together. One who forgives the most, needs the most amount of faith to let go of others debts, which he or she believes will be restored by God in His way as a double blessing in His time. And if repentance for sins happen in the heart of a brother who feels bad and convicted by the Holy Spirit for his or her actions, then forgiveness for the offence should be given back to the offender through faith. Thus, the prayer of faith will only operate in the atmosphere of the forgiveness that we practice by the grace of God (Jam 5:15-18).

When a person tries to sincerely walk in the nature of God by receiving it, and thus co-operating with God to let Him live out His life through them (Gal 2:20), then it will be easy for them to hear God and fulfill His command through which faith increases rapidly through their lives.

Here is the parable of the Master and the Servant:

""5 And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.” 6 So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you. 7 And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’? 8 But will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink’? 9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not. 10 So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.’”" (Luke 17:7-10).

Having the power of faith and the ability to increase in it to express the work of heavenly supernatural faith on our earthly surrounding, depends on how well we know that we are bound to God, and not he to us, because He is our creator and we are the clay (Rom 9:15, 20-24).

God is a debtor to no human, the Bible asks the question, " 34 “ For who has known the mind of the LORD? Or who has become His counselor?” 35 “Or who has first given to Him and it shall be repaid to him?”" (Rom 11:34-35). Humans are creation, and God is the one and only Creator of all humankind and angels alike. So the righteous God as a owner of the whole Universe, doesn't need to pay any humans or angels alike. God is the owner and we are the servants of Him, who are all created for His Glory to be relished and revealed to all through us. God is the King of Kings and Lord and Lords, we are the citizens of His Kingdom. God is the Father of all spirit, we are His spiritual children. God is the potter and we are the clay vessels. God has every right to use the vessels as He likes, whether it is vessels of wrath or the vessels of mercy like us who are saved by faith through grace.

When Jesus insisted the apostles to believe and have faith for miracles to happen to them and through them, immediately they approached Jesus to help them increase in their faith. Immediately Jesus said to them, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you".

Mustard seed is the smallest seed that we use in our day to day cooking and other activities like it, but the mulberry tree roots grow very horizontal roots over a wide area where it stands and also goes deep enough to withstand any storm pull, therefore it is impossible to easily uproot as it grows to a great height of even 40 to more than 70 feet or even 80 feet. Jesus teaches us a very important lesson about faith, what is it? It is not the size of the faith but the quality of the faith that will always work to do impossible task to become easily possible.

In other words, our faith may seem to be like the size of a mustard seed, but if that faith comes in to us by hearing the true word of God from heaven, our words will carry the power of heaven to make impossible things to be made easily possible (Eccl 8:4). The incalculable power of God without fail gets unleashed in the lives of those with true faith (Rom 10:17).

So there was a "sound of (angelic) marching in the tops of the mulberry trees" that directed David the King of Israel to victory after victory against his enemies the Philistines (2 Sam 5:24-25). Every times the voice of God is heard rightly and understood and obeyed, each time the Lord Himself goes before you to make impossible things to become possible. When we are living in the center of the will of God for our lives by faith, we have been given so much rights as God's children, that God has taken upon himself to fulfill even every word of command we speak with the authority of God (Isa 45:11).

So what is so important than even increasing our faith is, to know whether the word we have heard already from God is a genuine one (2 Cor 13:5-6), or else it is never too late to hear from God and exercise the right spiritual authority on earth to fulfill the heavenly will of God through our powerful actions (Rom 10:17; Heb 11:6). Showing true faith within will always display powerful action of faith without, because God will be the one who fulfills our command of faith towards Him (Jam 2:18, 26). The grandest of our spiritual relationship with God always start to happen, when we the servant, serve God so obediently that He gets so pleased enough that he starts to serve us at the end of it all. Glory!

This is what Jesus explains in the following parable by saying, "7 And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’? 8 But will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink’? 9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not. 10 So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.’”

Every true man of God or a woman of God understands the concept of their duties to fulfill and please God, before they see great, wondrous and supernatural things happen for them by God. At the end of such great blessings, they will remain humble enough to acknowledge that they did nothing great except be faithful in their duty to serve God, but God will always be magnified and glorified when they truthfully say that, 'God chose to bless them supernaturally with all the blessings of heaven which they do not least deserve.'

The master servant relationship with God is always there, even though there is a Father child relationship that exist already with Him. Understand the imperfect nature of all humans, who become his child. They still sin and are in training to avoid it more and more which separates them from God and His goodness. So the servant humility that is learned in humans, get their due respect and recognition from God when He begins to see a pleasing nature of His as a master get imbibed in them. Will as a master we will want the same or different for our servant? In other words, will we want a servant who robs to remain with us without any change, will we want a sexual pervert to remain as a servant forever with us, etc? No. We want the servant to be trained to become perfect more and more as they remain longer with us. That is the same God wants from us too! Hallelujah!

A true servant will do everything without any expectation as he or she will understand that it is their duty to serve their master. But when the master is a good master, the reward for serving will always outdo the work they have done to deserve it. So likewise, God being a good master whose very nature is to reward, will always outdo it to all His faithful servants to bless them and make them a great blessings to their locality and even to the whole world. Praise the Lord! No master will ever ask a servant to come and eat something, when he himself is hungry. Instead even when the servant has come from plowing field or tending sheep, he will say to the servant to serve him first with all the food that is available and cooked. But every servant even though hungry will serve him without any expectation and will look to the reward of his master which comes at last. We too as a good servant of God, should look to God's answer and reward at the end of serving him first through our lives without any expectation. Every powerful word spoken by us, will be answered by God when we have already lived a life pleasing to Him. That is what happened in the life of Jesus, who served his Father God for thirty years and then every word Jesus spoke God fulfilled it for the Glory of heaven for the rest of his life (Matt 3:17; John 11:41-42)! Amen.

The best way to live a balanced spiritual life is to serve God without any expectation as long as we live, and also say when great things happen for us, ‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do,’ knowing within us that it is not our work that has earned us our reward but rather the goodness and benevolence of God is what has showered us with all the blessings of heaven which we do not deserve the least. We will always remain unprofitable servants of God, because we have a sin nature that could easily trip us from the right path of God by our spiritual pride which made Lucifer the great archangel to become a devil that he is now (Gal 6:1, 3). Never forget the duty to serve God first with patience and perseverance, and without fail you will receive His great temporal as well as the eternal reward forevermore! Hallelujah!

GLORY TO GOD!

Did God Forcefully Demateralise the Angels At The End Of The Noah's Flood And Then Never Allowed Them To Materalise Anymore?

Did The Angels Materalize Of The Human Bodies?

Question: The angels materialized human bodies which Jehovah forced them to demateralise at the Flood, and has not allowed them to do so anymore! What is your take on it? Is it true or not. 

Answer: Greetings in the most precious name of Jesus!

Yes you are right, but materialize does not mean that angels can come in a material form, rather they (of a ghost, spirit, or similar entity) seem to appear in bodily form.

It is only a appearance transformation which angel spirits could boast themselves to be when they are given an opportunity through sowing fear in the mind of humans and making them accept their tyranny (2 Cor 11:3-4, 13-14). It is indeed a illusion and not a reality until God gives them a permission to reach out to humans in a avatar like Jesus Christ or a body for specific missions which then get taken away once the mission gets fulfilled (Heb 10:5-7; 13:2).

Appearance cannot be real, and Satan has only limited power and cannot usurp the power of God until He gives permission and capacity to appear to do something through a short term mission for the ultimate glory of God (Job 1:12; 2:6).

The Greek word Tartarus appears only once in the entire New Testament. 2 Peter 2:4 says, “God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to [Tartarus], putting them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment.” Most English versions translate tartarus as “hell” or “lowest hell.” The word Tartarus can be defined as “the deepest abyss of Hades.”

Another place in Scripture that mentions sinning angels is Genesis 6:1–4 where “the sons of God” who were saved humans, were entrapped through marriage alliance and were taken control by the external beauty of human women who were unsaved and possessed by Satanic angels, and therefore their progeny also came under the influence of demons that misled them in to rebellion and disobedience against God. According to Jude 1:6, some angels “abandoned their proper dwelling” in the heavens and possessed humans. For this crime, God cast them into Tartarus where they are held “in pits of gloom” (AMP) for a later judgment. It seems that Tartarus was what the demons feared in Luke 8:31.

Praise the Lord! Angels could only occupy the physical body, and try to posses it. But that still happens in all people even after the flood, as we have seen it again and again in the New Testament (Acts 16:18; Mark 1:21-26). But this time the judgment of angels will come to the sinning angels before the Millennium through the Church who will dislodge them and occupy the second heaven, and also after the Millennium through the Church who will judge them all on judgment day of White Throne (Rev 12:7-10, 11-12; 20:7-15). For those who sincerely seek God will find Jesus, where all the demons that possessed them will get dislodged in the name of Jesus for them to be set free from it (John 8:32, 34-36). We see that these demons were judged by God and were put in Prison, who have been kept under the chains of darkness by God until today even until the end of the Millennial rule of Jesus Christ and the Church, the same will happen to Satan and his demonic angels who have usurped and possessed humans in our generation just as in the days of Noah, they will be kept in the same tartarus prison for a thousand years after which they will be let loose for a while and be judged forever (Rev 20:1-3, 7-10). These angels are waiting for the day of judgment in which we the Church will judge even the angels at the end of the Millennium during White Throne judgment (2 Peter 2:4; 1 Cor 6:3). As God gave the second heavens to be the proper place of residence for angels, but they left their own abode in disobedience and possessed people at Noah's time, so the Lord has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for them a prison until the judgment of the great day of White Throne, and this time He will destroy the world through fire (Jude 1:6; 2 Pet 3:7, 10, 12). Also except Noah's family all of the people who were possessed were completely destroyed by God in judgment as the wrath of God through the flood came upon the heathen world of darkness so it will come at the end of the world, in which God will come and destroy the heavens and the earth, through fire which will make them become gas with no trace of its sinful existence (1 Pet 3:20; 4:6; 2 Peter 3:6-7).

Angels are spirits and therefore cannot cover themselves with a dust body of the earth (Psa 104:4). They are servants of God who do His word (Psa 103:20-21; 1 Tim 5:21), whose main Job is to minister and serve humans, and as well as live for His Glory in heaven and in all universe (Heb 1:14). Angels cannot marry and produce children, because they do not have earthly body like humans (Mark 12:25). Glory to God!  

From the above Scripture and exposition of it, we come to know that God did not allow any humans to marry angels and vice-versa too. But the angels leaving their proper domain, that is, leaving the place where they were supposed to live in the spirit world at the second heaven, and instead started to possess humans on earth through intrigue and keep the house of their body occupied through fear of death, were judged through the flood of Noah's time and put in tartarus chains of darkness which is a prison made for angels (Matt 12:43-45; Heb 2:14-15). Therefore, there cannot be any human-angel hybrid according to the Bible. So we as a believer in the Word of God, should reject this false deceitful doctrine of the end time, which propagates that angels married human women and produced human-angel hybrid. Stay away from unhealthy deceitful doctrines of demons like the above that gets promoted by Satanic agents to destroy your true faith (1 Tim 4:1).

Peter’s mention of Tartarus in the context of condemning false teachers. Those who secretly introduce heresy into the church will suffer a fate similar to that of the angels who sinned, who were then judged by God physically in the bodies of humans they lived, and spiritually sent to prison of Tartarus darkness and chains to wait for God's ultimate judgment of White Throne, which will happen after the end of the Millennial rule of Jesus and the Church. After the White Throne judgment of all unbelievers and evil angels alike, they will all be sent to the Gehenna lake of fire which is the second death (Matt 10:28; Rev 20:14-15). The only difference between the angels and humans who sinned during Noah's time is, the angels who sinned were kept separately in Tartarus prison which is the the deepest abyss of Hades, while the humans who sinned were kept separately in the Hades prison which is the upper region of the same in which the righteous section has already been emptied by Jesus after his resurrection, and only the unrighteous section remains until the White Throne Judgment.

Death is a separation from God and his goodness (2 Thess 1:9-10), first it happened in the mind of the disobedient angels before this world began, and afterwards it entered the world of humans on earth through Adam's sin and spread to all humans alike (Rev 12:4; Rom 5:12, 21), therefore 'death' in itself, will be thrown in to the lake of fire at the end of the sinful world forever (Rev 20:14-15). After the White Throne Judgment, the whole structure of Hades prison itself will be thrown in to the lake of fire, which is what is called as second death. The Lord does not tolerate those who lead His children astray and mock them, whether they are angels or unbelieving humans, the fate is the same, they will all be thrown in the eternal lake of fire forever and ever to be tormented (Matthew 18:6).

May God help us to stay strong in faith by helping us to understand all the wrong doctrine such as we have seen above and thus remain faithful to God and His word through the guidance of His Spirit!

RE: When Angels Couldn't Marry, How Could They Produce Human Giants?

What About The Giants Who Lived During David's Time?

Question: Question: Just now, gone through your article 'When Angels Couldn't Marry, How Could They Produce Human Giants?', and my doubts clarified, Brother. We read about giants in 2 Samuel 21:16 - 22. Shed some light on this Scripture.

Answer: Greetings to you in Jesus wonderful name!

I thank God that you understood about the sons of God who were Giants during Noah's time and that your doubt's were clarified.

Yes we read about Giants also during David's time among the Philistines, who tried to come against David even after he had killed Goliath in his young days itself, who a little later became the King of Judah and then of the whole of the nation of Israel in the prime of his adulthood at around 30 years of age for the Glory of God.

We read about that in 2 Samuel 21:16-22 - "15 When the Philistines were at war again with Israel, David and his servants with him went down and fought against the Philistines; and David grew faint. 16 Then Ishbi-Benob, who was one of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose bronze spear was three hundred shekels, who was bearing a new sword, thought he could kill David. 17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah came to his aid, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “You shall go out no more with us to battle, lest you quench the lamp of Israel.” 18 Now it happened afterward that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob. Then Sibbechai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was one of the sons of the giant. 19 Again there was war at Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. 20 Yet again there was war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number; and he also was born to the giant. 21 So when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him. 22 These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants. "

We see in the above reading, David the King of Israel was fighting "Ishbi-Benob, who was one of the sons of the giant" from Philistines, who thought he could kill David  because he was not able to handle this giant man for a moment of time. But immediately, Abishai the son of Zeruiah came to his aid, and struck the Philistine giant and killed him. Thank God for all the team with which we are blessed to work with. When David could not handle the enemy for a while, his fellow warriors were used by God so that David himself could humbly stay intact spiritually before God and others through his humility by acknowledging his need for others who fight the battles of God along with him.

We know that David took five smooth stones when he went to battle against Goliath, one stone for Goliath and the other four were for his Brothers who might have conveniently stayed back believing the power of their elder Brother Goliath, and thus were not present there on that day (1 Sam 17:40).

The team of warriors who fought with David their King respected his spiritual life and guidance so much, that they did not want him to come and fight with them or lose him in a dangerous situation they were, as we have seen above through the Giant slaying battle they were facing on behalf of the nation of Israel.

Thus it was those four warriors of David core team, who later when David became King of Israel, they battle against the four Philistines giants and completed the Giant slaying rout.

How tall was Goliath in reality? Normally, we equate him with a giant, as most Bible translations state that he was over nine feet tall (1 Samuel 17:4, NIV). The Masoretic Text, the Hebrew text that has long been accepted by the Jewish people, states that Goliath’s height was “six cubits and one span.” Taking a cubit to be approximately eighteen inches and a span to equal six, this figures to a height of approximately nine feet, six inches. It seems Goliath may have had some Anakim blood in him (see Deuteronomy 9:2).

Goliath's four other Brothers might have had the same gene transfer which could have made them to be the huge and powerful giants they were at that time. When people become trained warriors and gene starts to get aligned to its new found status, it starts to record the physical things of stature and the frame within to produce better copy of more powerful Giants in the succeeding generation and to give them a opportunity to excel through hard work. This is what the lineage of giants did!

The world questions the possibility of the Biblical measurement of 9 feet and above Giants. But wait, look at today's world itself, who is the tallest man in the world at present?

In 2009, Sultan Kösen became the first man over 8 ft to be measured by Guinness World Records for more than 20 years.

In fact, Guinness World Records only knows of ten confirmed or reliable cases in history reaching 8 ft or more.

The part-time farmer from Turkey was found to be a towering 246.5 cm (8 ft 1 in) in height and he took the iconic title of Tallest living man.

Two years later, the 26-year-old was measured again in Ankara, Turkey, by which time he had grown to a staggering 251 cm (8 ft 2.8 in).

Here just as Goliath in the Bible we see a classic case of Giantism, Sultan was born on 10 December 1982, but he didn’t start his incredible growth spurt until he was 10 years old.

The rest of his family, including his parents and four siblings, are all average size. I believe that this one man came apart from the rest of the family, because this one Gene could have come within his blood stream to cause a giant growth but other sibling being mixed with normal parents from other lineage, it made a difference to be the just normal like any other for all other people of his family. Sultan's unique growth and massive height, as the medical field calls it as a condition known as "pituitary gigantism", which is the result of an over-production of growth hormone.

Then, in October 2013, he finally fulfilled his dream of getting married. Sultan and Merve Dibo, who is nine years his junior and just 5 ft 9 in (1.75 metres) tall, met through a mutual friend. Merve travelled from her home of Hasaki, in Syria, to his village Dede köy in Turkey to meet him. They were married two months later.

We know that the gene of all humans have been in deterioration all the while from the day they sinned, that is why the age of humans have been reduced by God so that sufferings or curses upon them could be bore by them to a acceptable level or else everyone would not be able to live happily, but would rather choose to die (John 16:33; Matt 6:34; Gen 3:14-19; 6:3; Rom 5:12, 21; 8:20-22; Rev 9:5, 6). Ever since the days of Noah, there has been a rapid deterioration and a decline in the age limit of humans (Gen 25:7; 35:28; 47:9; 50:22, 26).

My one question is, if 8 feet and above persons could be found before our very eyes, why not at the Bible time before 3500 years or even before that, better Gene of 9 feet and above like Goliath could have grouped together to produce such Giants? The world in darkness will not want to believe everything that the Bible says, because it hates the light which it carries within it to open the spiritual eyes and heart of the people towards God (John 3:19-21).

So this again and again disproves the false theory that the sons of God who came in to daughters of men to produce giants were human-angel hybrid, but rather were perfect humans with better physical Gene of Cain lineage who mixed themselves with normal people with great spiritual Gene of faith lineage of Seth (Gen 4:16-24; 4:25-26; 5:1-32; 6:1-4; 10:8-9).

There is every easy possibility among humans, to not just better themselves through selective breeding of great stock through gene, but it is a possibility that have come to fruition even in those days of old which produced warrior giants who were deadly violent and intelligent to strategize and rule over the people of the world through violence and force.

How Could God's Sons If They Are Angels, Could Marry Women On Earth?

When Angels Couldn't Marry, How Could They Produce Human Giants?

Question: Brother, We read in Job 1:6, God's sons and Satan stood before God in heaven. Here God's sons denote God's angels. We read from the Gospel that angels don't marry. In Genesis 6th chapter, verses 1 to 5, we read God's sons married human women and begot giants. How these God's sons could marry women on earth?

Answer: Greetings in Jesus wonderful name!

Yes we see in the Book of Job which is the first Bible Book that is ever written as an inspired Book within the Canon (Jam 5:11; Ezek 14:14), which is way before the Book of Genesis and the succeeding four books which were written by Moses the Man of God and through Joshua his assistant trainee (Deut 29:1; 6:1; 5:1; 4:44-49; Acts 7:22; Exo 17:14), in its beginning itself we see a cosmic conference in heaven that regularly took place where Satan and his angels came along to participate and get instructions regarding the purpose and will of God to be fulfilled through them on earth. These angels were all guarding the earth as a watcher, going to and fro around it to keep the spiritual climate intact through executing the judgment and justice of God (Job 1:6; 2:1; Dan 4:13, 17, 23; Eze 28:14). So the very context in the Book of Job, supports the idea of truth that angels were called as the sons of God, Satan being one of them also came among them to present himself before the Lord (Job 2:1). There is not a iota of doubt that God's sons here denote God's angels.

Turning to the New Testament, when Jesus was speaking the truth regarding the purpose of marriage, he explains clearly that it is there because in the beginning of humanity itself it was institutionalized by God for humans to co-habit and produce and multiply children for the Glory of God (Gen 1:28; 2:20-25). He in fact was saying that in reference to earthly marriage, in heaven when humans begin to live in the sphere of heaven, through resurrection on the judgment day after their physical death because of knowing God (John 5:28-29), or even in hell fire because of dying in unbelief with the fallen angels (Matt 25:41, 46), there in heaven or hell they do not marry at all because they do not have the potential to have sexual intercourse and produce kids as they are all heavenly beings who were created for the purpose of watching over the earth and executing the Glory of God (Gal 3:19; Heb 2:5; Matt 22:30; Mark 12:25).

Having found that there is no loop hole to say that angels could have sex and produce children unlike the humans, in the whole of the context of the Old and New Testament Bible, let us delve in to the problem verse of Gen 6:1-5, which was misinterpreted by humans who do it out of context to produce unhealthy doctrine that produces confusion instead of clarity to the children of God within the Church. The best way to avoid wrong doctrine is to know the correct one. Praise the Lord!

Gen 6:1-5, 6-7 - "1 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. 3 And the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. 5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 7 So the LORD said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.”"

1) Humans Were In Context And Never Angels - We see in the above verse 1 that "when men began to multiply on the face of the earth", which means this context is all about increasing human population on earth that God is speaking about, it does not speak about angels at all. We know that when God created man in His own image (Gen 2:7), He created him "male and female", which means God has united both "male and female" as one in His own image and sees them as one in him who is Adam the son of God (Luke 3:38). In other words, only when Adam operates in unison through faith with Eve, God could see them both as "being heirs together of the grace of life", so that humans prayers may not be hindered by walking out of the will and purpose of God ( 1 Peter 3:7). Every man who walks in the will of God to marry another woman who is a believer (1 Cor 7:2, 5; 6:13-15, 16-20; 2 Cor 6:14-16, 17-18), does the will of God not only for his own life but for the generation that is being produced by him that God wants in faith (Gen 6:9-10; Malachi 2:15-17; 1 Cor 7:14).

2) So Who Are The Sons Of God? - We know that the preceding Chapters deals with the generation of believers verses the generation of unbelievers produced through Cain (Gen 4-5). In Genesis 3rd Chapter we see the fall of humans in to sin from innocence, then in Chapter 4 we see the works of faith and works of sinful flesh get separated in Cain and Abel, towards the end of this chapter 4, even though Abel was dead in faith (Heb 11:4), his blood was asking God for justice and vengeance upon the wicked (Heb 12:24; Gen 4:10), which made God to separate the righteous through faith from the unrighteous through their unbelief, thus making way for the sons of God and sons of the evil one to be identified (1 John 3:10, 12; John 8:44).

3) Noah's Grace Of Marriage Through Salvation Faith Within - Even though we see the works of people externally, which is rooted in their belief system within their heart internally (Jam 2:18, 26; Prov 4:23), the true connotation speaks of the internal spiritual life that is hidden behind the external physical life (Gen 2:16-17; 3:11). Thus Noah found grace in the sight of the Lord because he married a believer which was the work of faith expressed through his life (Gen 6:9-10; 11:10), though it might have taken him a long time to find her, and the same happened to their three sons which might have taken a long long time to find the right bride for them (1 Pet 3:20), yet their faith was made perfect through their work of faith in marrying believers which then led them towards building the ark of God together in faith which saved the believing world from the eternal and also physical destruction of the ungodly men of the world (Jam 2:22; Heb 11:7). The brides for their sons could have been converted through the exemplary lives of faith that this family lived before their very eyes, as we see that the brides families were not part of the people saved through the ark. Hallelujah!

4) What Wrong Did The Sons Of God Do? - The sons of God who were having faith within their heart, was waylaid by Satan through the external beauty of braided hair and jewels and beautiful faces of the unbelievers just like Balaam who used the same technique to completely destroy those believers in the nation of Israel (Gen 4:20, 21, 22; 1 Peter 3:3; 1 Tim 2:9-10; Rev 2:14; 2 Pet 2:15; Jude 1:4). The same is happening in our generation too just as it has been prophesied by Jesus (Matt 24:37), thus through the Media of television, internet and social media....the sons of God have begun to lust after the beauty of the daughters of unbelieving men to finally marry them and produce children who are struggling to keep faith, and thus they sadly have begun to continually produce the works of the flesh through unbelief in their lives, just as those who are in the world (Gal 5:19-21; 1 Cor 10:11, 14-22; Rom 15:4). Wake Up and Repent Saints! Every believer should choose what God requires which is a believing marriage partner, and not as they want especially in the area of marriage (2 Cor 6:14), which has the ability to make God feel sorry and let them go on to be judged along with the world through the works of the flesh that they have been involved in (1 Pet 4:17; Gen 6:3, 6), like the world within their heart which has become the idol of their life instead of the place where God should be the only one enthroned (1 Cor 10:22; 1 John 2:15-17).

5) Giants On Earth? - The Bible says, "There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown," what do we really incur from the above verse? Giants were not only huge and blessed physically in the days of Noah, but mentally they were very sharp enough to identify and solve problems that humanity faced. When the sons of God who were believers who had faith internally married with the daughters of men who were beautiful externally, they bore children who were giants, who were not only physically strong, but also had a inclination and a sanctified desire to build faith internally (1 Cor 7:14). These mighty men of old, were men of renown skill to bless the humanity as a whole physically because of a little faith as a mustard seed size within them that made them the sons of God (Matt 17:20), yet they did not have faith to overcome the flesh, because of which they were not able to bless the humanity spiritually unlike Noah in their generation (1 John 5:4, 5). Giants were children of believer and unbeliever mixed parentage. The violence within the unbelieving Cain race (Gen 4:23-24), spread within the mixed parentage of believer-unbeliever families who produced giants [(i.e.) Nephilims in Hebrew root words] of both physical and soulish skills, heroes, violent warriors of great fame and reputation in those ancient times but without spiritual thirst for God and his righteousness (Mat 5:6, 10; 6:33; Eccl 12:1). Thus God found no righteous man on earth whom he could shower his grace upon except Noah and his family who were the true spiritual giants who condemned the whole world without vengeance and violence through their living testimony which they preached through their lives (Heb 11:7; 2 Peter 2:5).

What was the message that Noah Preach? When God beheld the corruption of the earth and determined to destroy it, he gave Noah divine warning of the impending disaster and made a covenant with him, promising to save him and his family. As a righteous man, Noah “found favour in the eyes of the Lord” (Genesis 6:8), this was his message he gave to them all, that the reason he is building the ark was because God is going to completely destroy the world once it is over. He built a ark to save him and his household from the disaster of flood through faith, of which the whole world that have seen no rain during their times because God supplied water to the plants and trees through "a mist [that] went up from the earth and watered the whle face of the ground" (Gen 2:6), made them mock his work of faith which was the ark, which later saved him and his household without fail when the flood of God's judgment came upon the whole world (2 Pet 3:3-6, 9). Giants with all physical strength and height and skill of renown to let loose violence on earth and control it were destroyed by the flood completely, but the spiritually meek giant Noah and his household survived it all and entered in to the new world order of God!

GLORY TO GOD!

6) The Giants Were Not Human-Angelic Hybrid - The great question for many are, 'We read God's angelic so called supernatural sons married human women and begot giants. How these God's sons [(i.e) if they really were angel-human hybrid giants] could marry women on earth?' Remember, God has no sons except through faith (John 1:12; Rom 8:14; Gal 3:7), if these so called human-angelic hybrids were really giants, then there is no salvation for them because Christ came to help only the sons of Abraham which is of faith (Heb 2:16). But we know from the New Testament, that all of these sons of God who had faith but did not take pains through trials and tribulations willingly during Noah's time to perfect their faith through their works (Jam 1:2-4; Heb 12:5-6, 7), lived a fruitless lives with no difference in their character except the name they held as believers (1 Cor 3:15; John 15:2-3; Heb 6:8; 1 Cor 11:28, 29-30, 31), they were judged by God in the flesh through the flood but were saved by Jesus in their spirit through the Spirit in advance even as he later preached to them the Gospel of salvation in the prison in which they were kept (2 Peter 2:4-5; 1 Peter 3:18-20; 4:5-6; Rom 4:5-8; Rev 3:16). By the way, they were all taken with Him to heaven after His resurrection, who were all resurrected along with Him (1 Pet 3:18-21; Matt 27:52-53; Isa 26:19; Eph 4:7-10). So according to the Word of God, there were never any human-angelic hybrid ever. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! GLORY!

7) The Lord Judged The Earth Because Of Continual Wickedness And Evil Thoughts - Finally, God judged the earth not because there was a human-angelic hybrid that he could not control as though He is no more omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent, but rather he saw "the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually". The giants were not the cause of the destruction of the generation who lived during Noah's times, but their violent behavior and demoralized selfish character made the earth become a living hell (Gen 6:11-12, 13), as their thoughts were continually evil and the wickedness of man was great in all the earth. Woe to the sinner for he cannot escape the judgment of God! Angels can never be able to marry human women, because they do not have physical bodies, and also they do not have the sexual ability to procreate children as they are all spirit beings. Only humans with dust made physical bodies, can be able to marry, have sex and procreate children for the Glory of God. Hallelujah!

From what we have seen expounded in context, I appeal to you to make a healthy judgment to deny false doctrines of the times we live, and repent for the sins we have been involved in by turning to God and overcome it all for the Glory of God to live a life of holiness as a testimony to our generation like Noah and his wonderful family. May we build a family just like Noah did through faith. Praise the Lord!


Much Blessings....
