With regards to trans-humanism I have some questions. Prevailing thought is that once altered regardless extent and degree, God wants nothing to do with us! And we cannot be saved! What is this based upon?! God's destruction of Nephalim? God destroyed all living life except 8 souls! So the fact that we immediately are disqualified for being with Jesus, seems a to be a large theological leap! Given He formed us in our mothers womb and knew us since before the foundations of the world! I'm confused. And if any one's DNA should be altered even in the slightest, then who can saved? Cannot the Lord reconstitute us with glorified bodies?! TR Won't we still have a soul and spirit! TR To keep us safe from Transhumanism ... is to become Born Again ... then we are untouchable. The Lord wants us to be transform by the renewing of our minds (reading His Word) then we know what is right and pleasing to God vs what is not acceptable. Romans 12: 1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. The devil is a copy cat ... so he offers Transhumanism to his followers ... but since the unsaved do not have the Holy Spirit dwelling inside, once they permit their bodies to be altered with microchips and other junk ... they are then playing Russian roulette with their minds and no longer have control and they can’t make rational choices - they literally become a controlled robot or clone. Same with drugs and alcohol ... if they can destroy the brain cells and keep a person from thinking rational they will stay in bondage and under the influence of demons. Transhumanism is a combo of things ... The elite will be promising the left behind crowd ... no death but an enhance life. Once the followers accept the mark of the beast ... its all over because their minds will become brain dead and can no longer choose life in Christ. They will still have a soul and spirit and will get a body fit for the Lake of Fire at Great White Throne. With the Nephilim (Giants) I heard some say they didn’t die but are in hades waiting for the bottomless pit to open up and they will be released during the tribulation time. I think they do have both a soul and spirit because the devil and fallen angels will be in torment forever in the Lake of Fire so I think the Nephilims will be toss in there as well ... Matt 25:41 Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: The dead nephilim are demons, IMHO .They are desperate to find a host to inhabit. They are currently plaguing mankind and will greatly ramp up oppression during the Tribulation. It is true that being born again is guaranteed, no fail protection against this transhumanism. Praise the LORD for that. :yahoo: To add yet another potential level of just how much God loves us and the nations, He may have given us the answer in Zephaniah 3:9-13 “For at that time I will change the speech of the people’s to a pure speech, that all of them may call upon the name of the Lord and serve him with one accord. From beyond the rivers of Cush my worshipers, the daughter of my dispersed ones (possibly Israeli), shall bring my offering. On that day you shall not be put to shame because of the deeds by which you have rebelled against me for then I will remove from your midst your proudly exultant ones, and you shall no longer be haughty in my holy mountain. But I will leave in your midst a people humble and lowly. They shall seek refuge in the name of the Lord, those who are left in Israel; they shall do no injustice and speak no lies, nor shall there be found in their mouth a deceitful tongue. For they shall graze and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.”

It has been debated that God may choose to re-humanize those that have started down a bad path during the tribulation —- just some added thoughts to think about!
