Partly to remove the half breeds: angels with human women having children. Those children became demons after they died in the flood. “Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beaut...

no. all these questions are either answered in the early church or bible. which I was unaware of, until I got into Irenaeus (and believed he was right about it all) For example Sabbath is a choice of when you want to worship.
