Comment on Mrs. White: “Don’t send your children to…” by Nathan.
@pauluc: Yes I have read the text, what about the others you left out that affirm that angels are neither male nor female? Matt 22:30? How did you get around that one? “sons of God†is not used exclusively of angels—the children of Israel are called “the sons of the living God†in Hosea 1:10.
Now dont get me wrong I believe that everything we have on planet earth today has already been done before. The Bible backs that up as well in Ecc 1:9 “The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: AND THERE IS NO NEW THING UNDER THE SUN.” We are not even comparable to the men prior to the flood as far as brain usage, size, age, etc. To them we would be monkey’s with sticks. As the human race we have “devolved”, if you will, because of sin. I believe that mythical creatures were not myth but real prior to the flood that would explain amalgamation, man/beast genetic mixing explains all the mythical creatures we have seen throughout history. God destroyed everything because man was defacing His creation.
I still dont buy the idea though that fallen angels could mate with women, only by possession of a man could I see that happening and it still is not the same thing. To each their own, but this is what I believe to be true according to what I have prayed about and studied according to scripture and the SOP.

Mrs. White: “Don’t send your children to…”
@pauluc: Doesnt the book of Enoch say that Enoch came back to earth after his translation?
Mrs. White: “Don’t send your children to…”
I couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the fact that you actually brought up the idea that [Angels] could have mated with humans. Did you not know that angels are “neither male nor female”? Therefore they could not procreate, end of fantasy.
2Timothy 4:3 “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”

I have misquoted you (Dr. Geraty) in the flying planes statement and I do sincerely apologize for my misquote.
The Reptile King
@Sean Pitman: Not only does Geraty “subscribes to theistic evolutionism as the true model of origins:” He also states that those opposed to this storytelling of origins (conservative Adventism)are “the type that fly planes into buildings”. Scary that this man was the president of an Adventist Insitution. With this kind of thinking, I wonder if he would have locked up EGW and the rest of the pioneers in Gitmo if they were alive today?
Clifford Goldstein: ‘A Safe Place’
Adventist kid: BobRyan,You contribute in quite a number of places. I noticed your edits on wikipedia. May I suggest that you go read the responses of others to your verbose essays on that site?Young Earth Creationism is unscientific. That is all there is to it. So either Adventism and Science are mutually exclusive (that can’t be!) or we can both believe in Science (evolution), and the bible while being Adventist. I take the second option.
Could you share the wikipedia link with us if possible, thanks.
LSU student: ‘Apostates or Apostles’?
Seems to me that Dr. Bradley hardly represents a true follower of Christ, aside from his rather “colorful” language which by the way lost him all due credibility as a “Christian”. Furthermore Dr. Bradley contradicts himself in his own quotes, which I found to be rather disturbing. Hey, I guess lying seems to be the thing to do these days to cover ones own dissent into apostasy and blatant lack of trust in God’s word.
At least be honest with yourself and others if you dont believe in something, isnt that the Christian thing to do?
Sadly, Dr. Bradley lost all my trust and faith in him as a professor of Adventist higher education.
