Mark, Aren't all of God's people given the power to become the "sons of God"? John 1:12, Rom. 8:14 and 19, Phil. 2:15 and I John 3:1-2. Those that followed God from Adam to Noah were the "sons of God" by contrast those that didnt follow God but followed their own hearts were "sons of man" their women would be "daughters of man". As for God's people taking wives from unbelievers, it has happened a lot in the Bible. The history of the Jews is full of it from the time of Moses to the days of Ezra and Nehemiah - Num. chapter 25, Neh. 13:23-30. By taken wives from the wicked the descendents of Adam (for the most part) adopted the lifestyles of the wicked. This led to the great wickedness God found in the earth resulting in the great flood. Such things have happened over and over again in the Bible. It even caused the division of the Jewish nation bacause Solomon had taken so many wives of the pagan nations and allowed them to cause him to worship idols. I forget the exact text for that but I know is there. |

Hi David, That's my point about the "sons of God" thing. That it is a technical term for those who were directly created by God, as opposes to those who were born of another, including Adam, Christians, and angels: each of these are called "sons of God", and that is what they have in common with each other. Anyway, there are a lot of people who believe as you do. Love in Christ, mark |

One other thing you might want to consider Mark is that God created every living thing to only be able to mate with it's own species. The words "after his kind" and "after their kind" which occur frequently in Gen. 1 is from the Hebrew word "miyn" which means "kind, sometimes a species (usually of animals) Groups of living organisms belong in the same created 'kind' if they have descended from the same ancestral gene pool. This does not preclude new species because this represents a partitioning of the original gene pool. Information is lost or conserved not gained. A new species could arise when a population is isolated and inbreeding occurs. By this definition a new species is not a new 'kind' but a further partitioning of an existing 'kind'". It no more possible for an angel or demon to breed with a human than it is for a dog to breed with a cat. |

Hi David, What do you do with: Jud 1:6 And those angels not having kept their first place, but having deserted their dwelling-place, He has kept in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of a great Day; Jud 1:7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, in like manner to these, committing fornication, and going away after other flesh, laid down an example before-times, undergoing vengeance of everlasting fire. which speaks of Sodom, and Gomorrah, who, like these angels, went after other flesh? Love in Christ, Mark |
