If there is intelligent life out there, how would we know whether or not they have Souls? :confused:

Why Not? If we already know God is Omnipresent everywhere in this Universal dimension of time, we also know He exist outside of time in eternity.

What’s not to ascertain that God being omnipresent wouldn’t spread an essence of His spiritual nature inside all sentient life? Sounds simply logical to me. He is after all the Creator of all seen and unseen.

God breaths life and sentient life where He wills.
Sometimes some people have a bad habit of putting God the Creator in a box.

The footnote to this passage (Gen 6:1-2) in the New Jerusalem Bible states that the ‘sons of heaven’ were taken to be Seth’s descendants and the ‘daughters of men’ to be those of Cain.

A careful reading of Scripture is a good thing, but we have to be careful not to read it too closely and over-interpret Scripture.

My NAB copyright 1970 says in the footnotes…
6,2: The sons of heaven: literally, “the sons of the gods” or “the sons of God” - i.e., the celestial beings of mythology.

The Long Road explanation of post #67 seems more in keeping with this footnote.
