in life and life after... For those disbelievers they lose their senses by being locked and blocked
from such experiences... It is all about souls as verses speak for them selves;

satans aim was to stop the fulfillment of the seed that would crush satan underfoot.This hybrid between the angels and man created giants abominations
in Gods eyes.They also were a threat to Gods people as can be seen by the giants
in the land of caanan after the flood.If we agree on that then there is no way that Eve would have had intercourse with satan [false doctrine of the seed of satan -RCB- because the blood lines were still untainted by angelic beings or satan at the time of Noah maybe that is also why the genealogy of Christ is well presented with no surprises apart
from Hagar and Ruth these two were gentiles that shows Gods mercy grace was always there to all nations he accepts people by
faith not by race.Prior to the flood the mixing of the angels and man must have been widespread after the flood these beings were present but
in limited numbers and God told his people to destroy them as they were abominations but they were a threat to Gods people.It would be interesting to hear what the rabbis had to say on this matter as i would think the stories would have been past down
from generation to the next.Especially regarding the flood.God promised he would never flood the earth again but a time is
coming when the earth will be judged not by flood but by fire Jesus is our ark and we are safe
in him.brentnz
