Let US make US a name...
"Your Arms Too Short to Box with God," was the title of a 1976 Musical. This title makes me think of man's perspective from time to time. In Genesis 9:1, God gave man specific command to go forth into…

Like many people, I've heard of the claims that Angels, fallen from Heaven, came to Earth and procreated with the daughters of men. I'm not sure the text teaches this though. The closest reference to…
