That could be true...but how would we know about that . Maybe other planets also have unique relationships with God....we'd have no way of knowing that. Only God has that knowledge.

One can take the "sons of God" literally and think of the Fallen Angels.
One can also take the "sons of God" figuratively and think of beings from the sky (aliens).
Bible says the Nephilim were here before and after the flood though?


Its interesting that the verse specifically says the Nephilim were here after the flood, and not referring to the Nephilims offspring, (they have a different name)...of course, its strange that these beings were even able to reproduce and create offspring! I cannot imagine why God would allow that.

If you read it in the Hebrew, you’ll see that the words employed indicate that G-d created everything on the first day and throughout the remainder of days, ‘placed or positioned’ all that He had created into their proper places...

Well, according to UFOlogy, they are way more advanced then we are, perhaps it is just us that are the problem children and we need all the help that we can get...

Either we are the only ones in this universe and the earth and humans are unique or the universe has millions of intelligent life throughout and thus we are not unique. The concept is simple. Other intelligent life having unique relationships with God does not make us unique.

G 1 refers to simply creation of something ethereal and something firm. In Slavic bible translation, instead of earth (not capital Earth) the word "tverd' " or firmness, is used.

It simply describes separation of great void, god was in, into two parts, that gave beginning to the rest of creation. In biblical ways, of course.

Christ was son of humanity. Why would he return to Kassiopeians?

That is VERY far fetched attempt to prove your word, dear Diesel
First, this is not my Bible. I'm not Christian. Second regardless of weather it refers Earth to a planet or not the verse in Genesis indicates that Earth is unique. That is the point.

No, I don't interpret it that way. It says he created Earth, light and day and then created the Sun, Moon and stars. Regardess of how you interpret the verses Earth is shown to be unique.

God only helps humans because we are not as advanced? Not a very plausible explanation. If intelligent life exists either God doesn't exist at all or a creator exists but the Christian God does not exist.

It changes everything. We are no longer unique in this universe.
