Hi tgc, following are from some of my favorite biblical commentaries, I would like to share their insight with you. The sons of God (that is, the professors of religion, who were called by the name of the Lord, and called upon that name), married the daughters of men, that is, those that were profane, and strangers to God and godliness. The posterity of Seth did not keep by themselves, as they ought to have done, both for the preservation of their own purity and in detestation of the apostasy. They intermingled themselves with the excommunicated race of Cain: They took them wives of all that they chose. -Matthew Henry And, this from David Guzik, who is the director of Calvary Chapel Bible College, Germany: "Many people have understood that the sons of God were those from the line of Seth, and the daughters of men were from the line of Cain, and this describes an intermarriage between the godly and the ungodly - something God specifically prohibits (Deuteronomy 7:1-4; 2 Corinthians 6:14) It is more accurate to see the sons of God as either demons (angels in rebellion against God) or uniquely demon possessed men, and the daughters of men as human women The phrase sons of God clearly refers to angelic creatures when it is used the three other times in the Old Testament (Job 1:6, 2:1, and 38:7). Why would Satan send his angels to intermarry (either directly or indirectly) with human women? Satan was trying to pollute the genetic "pool" of mankind with a satanic corruption; to put a genetic "virus" that would make the human race unfit for bringing forth the Seed of the woman - the Messiah - promised in Genesis 3:15 "The Savior could not be born of a demon-possessed mother. So if Satan could succeed in infecting the entire race, the deliverer could not come." (Boice) Blessings, tim |

Hello again, tgc; Sorry it took some time to get back, but this is what I have found after reading your submission to the note board. "Sons of God" is not an exclusive term, and can possibly refer to angels as it seems to here in Job 38:6-7, "Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?" or, also used of men, as in the following verses: Deut. 14:1, Hosea 1:10; Luke 3:38; John 1:12; 1 John 3:1 In Genesis 6:2 I submit to you, that the "sons of God" were the righteous line of Seth (Genesis 4:26) that had been intermarrying with evil Cain-anites. It has been argued that only angel-human co-mingling could produce the "nephilim" spoken of in Gen. 6:4. But the sons of Anak spoken of in Num. 13:33 were also giants, and these obviously were not angel-human offspring, simply because they existed long after the flood. Luke 20:35, seems to sum up the fact that angels do not marry, "But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:" Also, another interesting subject of study is finding out why Jesus often referred to Himself as "the Son of Man" Also, I will be happy to research this further, you need only to ask. Blessings, tim PS, do you have any idea as to why this thread has been restricted? |
