  • The short answer to your question is YES. Ancient people's had clarivoyants and mystics too. What they did was write a sort of literary tradition surrounding their "gods". The Greeks wrote stories they were supposed to be entertaining or enlightening or whatever. Some civilizations paid respect to the evil one, the serpent god through human sacrifice.

    Angels come in masculine and feminine and do indeed have children. Our souls were born this way. Conception does NOT create the soul. You can pretty much ignore the personifications of the "gods" of most mythologies.

    God gave the blueprint for this universe to the four Powers. In Wiccan tradition these are the four Elements Fire, Air,Earth, Water. Now those words are not literal. The four Powers began everything, but God created the master plan.

    The Greek translators did not understand Hebrew, as Hebrew is a contextual language. 1 word can have dozens of meanings depending on context and sentence structure. 1 word in Hebrew may need a paragraph or more of explanation in English and in French 2 or more paragraphs to explain the word fully.

    Genesis 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

    Is actually referring to the sons of the rulers/government not angels.

    Some, like Milton, believed (poetically at least) that fallen angels are the models for the gods of pagan religions. Could be -- I don't know. Paul says to the Corinthian church that the things the pagans sacrifice to idols they offer to demons and that he doesn't want the believers to have anything to do with demons. So that would seem to support Milton's hypothesis.

    As for your passage about angels being set on the earth, I'm not sure what that is? It doesn't sound familiar -- I wish you had posted the reference.

    Dear Friend,

    Angels are not gods. They serve the Lord in many various ways, protector, warrior, guardian, messenger, etc. and one day, they will serve believers the Bride of Christ. Angels are also described as being 'masculine' in nature. Not female, children, etc.

    Well, when I was little they used to call me "Angela-I'm-no-Angel" and now I call myself "God." I mean, there is no proof that I couldn't be God... so, yeah. Hope this helps.
