Elijah's Answer: "The sons spoken of in 6:2 are angles that left there proper dewling place (heaven)and came down to marry the daughters of men (Elijah)" Reply: Matt 22:30 "For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven." Angels neither marry nor are given in marriage (Mt 22:30), so that this verse hardly applies to them. "Gen 6:1-4 *sons of God.* The 'sons of God' may mean God's created, supernatural beings, who were no longer godly in character (6.3). Some commentators believe, however, that this expression refers to the 'godly line' of Seth and that 'daughters of humans' (v. 4 in the NRSV) refer to women from the line of Cain. "Most likely the phrase refers to those descendants of Seth who trusted in the Lord but whose children intermarried with women descended from Cain. Those marriages were not with angels then, but between godly and ungodly human families. Angels neither marry nor are given in marriage (Mt 22:30), so that this verse hardly applies to them." (NRSV Harper Study Bible, Harold Lindsell, Ph.D., D.D., Grand Rapids, Michigan: Zondervan, 1991) |
