1 | "sons of God saw daughters of men?" | Genesis | quvmoh | 203302 | ||
But look at the context of the passages. In Genesis 6, in the chapters leading up to it you have the geneologies of Seth and Cain, which have names listed in both ones. You also have afterwards, God preparing for the Flood because Man was wicked. There is no serious mention of Angels at all until Abraham, save for the Angel with the Flaming sword guarding Eden. It makes far greater sense within the Context to interpret this passage as when the two family lines fused into one than two assume that Angels came down for a brief moment to have sex. In Job chapter 1 and 2, the first 5 verses of Job talks about Job and his family gathered together for prayer and worship of God, and Job praying for his Sons. Yet that seems to always be conveniently tossed aside and ignored when leading into verse 6 and beyond. In Luke 20, the context clearly points to humans set up in verses 27-24. Also, I don't know what translation you are using, but in the NASB there is a clear change of thought when it comes to the "sons of God" phrase, and clearly points to the Saved Humans. Luke 20:36 "or they cannot even die anymore, because they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection." The passages in Romans 8 and Galatians 3 both clearly identify Human believers in Christ. I'll even add one for you. 1 John 3:1 "See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called Children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know him." And another that clearly refutes Angels as being identified as "Sons" or "Children" of God. Hebrews 1:5 "For to which of the angels did He ever say 'You are My Son, Today I have begotten you.'?" Then you have this later on .. Hebrews 5:5 "So also Christ did no glorify Himself so as to become a high priest, but He who said to Him 'You are My Son, Today, I have begotten you.'." I'm sorry, Tim Moran, but I cannot in good conscience believe or promote "sons of God" phrases used in the Bible to being in reference to Angels. The Context simply does NOT support it at all.

Greetings Quvmoh! It was not my intention to back either theory my friend! I was simply making the point that there isn't enough evidence available to be dogmatic about it either way! :-) p.s. - Welcome to the forum! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

As I stated earlier, I'm not wanting to argue. I was merely using the passages you quoted to better strengthen my own claims. Quvmoh |

Quvmoh- welcome to the forum brother or sister (couldn't tell from your profile so no offense). In following this thread I didn't see where brother Tim Moran mentioned this (nor did any other unless I have missed it). While I consider brother Tim a teacher to me I don't intend to speak for him. With that said, it may be a clearer position in warning against a dogmantic view of either of the considered "possibilities" to include that both views (angels vs. saved humans) are widely held by Christian people to include theologians with greater study and understanding than many of us here. By the way, you did a fine job of searching the Scriptures and digging for the information and a good job in your presenting it here. Finally, I refer to brother Tim as one I consdier a teacher because I have learned enough about him here to know that he not only has searched and studied God's word and proven himself one who accurately handles the word in keeping with 2 Timothy 2:15. I also know him as one who has explored and studied what other, more learned men have said and written about much of the bible. This issue is what many refer to as a "non-essential". That is, it's not essential for salvation and so the debate can only be taken so far safely without possibly causing devisiveness. Hope my input is a bit helpful and again welcome to the forum. God bless, Jeff |

I mean no offense to Tim or anyone if I come across as a bit strong. I realize this isn't a critical issue in regards to salvation, but I am convicted to ensure that Context is not taken lightly and that my own claims are within context and well founded. Quvmoh |

Greetings Quvmoh! No offense taken my friend! By the way, I like your profile. I too am a Star Trek fan, but I have never actually learned Klingon! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
