Being that three of them agree, you go with the one that doesn't? Why?

No, he didn't compile manuscripts. There are two families, the Alexandrian MSS (TS,TV,TA), and the Antiochian (TR).

Are they messengers or not? Did their job description change at some point?

The sons of God sang for joy at creation. And God is omniscient remember, He knew all this would be. But we're getting off the point now, let's turn this back to Genesis 6.
I only use TR. Because I only consider TR-based bibles the Word of God. The other versions had tons of verses edited out at Alexandria. Example: The last 12 verses of Mark.
BRAVO!!!! I can talk with you, most people are utterly clueless about that outside of serious textual critics and historians.

Because of the three that agree, one of them was found in a trashcan(Westcott-Hort), and another has Origen, who was an agnostic at best, at its roots.
exactly... try to get a regular goer or a Catholic to understand that though and it's a different story.

I like it... because a sword can't really come out of a mouth.
Words can though. The sword that comes out of His mouth is the Word of God, the flaming two-edged sword.

What was the purpose of creating different classes of angels? Why were some more powerful than others? Weren't they created before man? If so, why all the classes?
Originally posted by NOTurTypical
No, not all are messengers to man. You have many "classes" of angels. Seraphim, Cherubim, archangels, etc. Hylel (Lucifer) was the most powerful, highest class (Cherub).
The way I see it ( I don't have the holy spirit helping me btw) is that "there were giants in those days...

So, have we determined how fallen angels had sex with human women and had offspring? How did two different species create offspring through sexual reproduction?
If they became men, why did they create hybrids through sexual reproduction? The only way an offspring could be created would be if the dna between the mother and father were compatible.
I guess another question would be, how would angels become aroused by human women? Weren't they genderless, and had no sexual organs? How would they desire to procreate?edit on 15-4-2012 by Hydroman because: (no reason given)

I know I do. Does that mean I'm a descendant of the USS Fallen Angel?

Redheads. I think those fallen angels had a thing for redheads. Green eyed and freckled - yep. fallen angel DNA.
What I keep falling back on is that the bible says that they were heroes of old, men of renown...

Who says that the giants were not animal life forms? From what I understand the fossils of sharks, alligators, and even insects were giant compared to todays descendants. That could be one reason why the flood was brought. Life was too successful. Huge plants, bugs, and critters would have made life tenuous.
It wasn't going well, it was going too good.

If they have gender, can they mate with each other and produce offspring? If not, then why do they have genders? Next, how are they compatible with us? Is a human compatible with a chimpanzee?

If they are "genderless" then how do you explain Incubus and Succubus? And what about Lot and the two "strangers" that the city folk wanted to "know"? Then there is man and woman made in the image of God, and all the other critters with Genitalia, that must have been two by two from across time and the ages in the original interstellar ARK that brought life to this planet. Where do we come off with the genitals?
