1 | who are the sons of God? | Gen 6:2 | Glory Bound | 130819 | ||
I have checked my Bible. It says what I stated. Rev. 20:7 makes no reference to, as you put it, "Gods sons." You may wish to read it again if you are referring to Satan as a son of God. As to your reference to Job 1:6, I will quote Matthew Henry. Satan among the sons of God (Job_1:6), an adversary (so Satan signifies) to God, to men, to all good: he thrust himself into an assembly of the sons of God that came to present themselves before the Lord. This means either, 1. A meeting of the saints on earth. Professors of religion, in the patriarchal age, were called sons of God (Gen_6:2); they had then religious assemblies and stated times for them. The King came in to see his guests; the eye of God was on all present. But there was a serpent in paradise, a Satan among the sons of God; when they come together he is among them, to distract and disturb them, stands at their right hand to resist them. The Lord rebuke thee, Satan! Or, 2. A meeting of the angels in heaven. They are the sons of God, Job_38:7. They came to give an account of their negotiations on earth and to receive new instructions. Satan was one of them originally; but how hast thou fallen, O Lucifer! He shall no more stand in that congregation, yet he is here represented, as coming among them, either summoned to appear as a criminal or connived at, for the present, though an intruder. I am sure you are sincere in your belief, but God said it and I believe it! JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD. Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. only begotten: G3439 monogenees mon-og-en-ace From G3441 and G1096; only born, that is, sole: - only (begotten, child). You can twist it any way you wish. No doubt you will fool many. But you may want to consider Mat 18:6, “but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea.” Along with this, consider the fact that those who wish to teach the Word will be held to a higher standard.

GB, I apologize for my mistake, I meant Rev. 21:7 (not 20:7). Matthew Henry, or any commentator, interests me to the degree that he agrees with the plain reading of scripture. I do not seek to twist scripture. I make every effort to set aside preconceptions, and simply read what is written. This is what I wrote in my previous post. “There are two types of referrences to God's sons. One is the the Only Begotten Son, Jesus, the others are beings which are direct creations of God, angels and the born-again.” The following are referrences which do not refer to Jesus: Ge 6:2 “That the sons (ben) of God (elohiym) saw the daughters of men that they were fair ; and they took them wives of all which they chose.” Matthew Henry interprets this referrence to “sons of God” as “professors of religion”, however, this is not in harmony with Job 38:7. Ge 6:4 “There were giants (nephilim) in the earth in those days and also after that, when the sons ben of God elohiym came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.” If the “sons of God” in these two verses were human, why were their offspring “giants” (lit. nephilim – fallen ones), the “mighty men of renown”? Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons ben of God elohiym came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. (this verse does not show that Satan is a “son of God”, but that there are a group know as “sons of God”) Job 2:1 Again there was a day when the sons ben of God elohiym came to present themselves before the LORD and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD . (Makes the same point as above) Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together , and all the sons ben of God elohiym shouted for joy? (While God laid the foundations of the earth) (These sons of God could not be humans, but are a group of beings present as God created prior to creating man.) Ro 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God , they are the sons huios of God . (Now we are looking at a new classification of beings, who are the sons of God.) Ro 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons huios of God. Ga 4:6 And because ye are sons huios, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son huios into your hearts, crying Abba, Father. 7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant , but a son huios; and if a son huios, then an heir of God through Christ. Re 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son huios. These verses all show, all the more so as you read them in their context, that God make us sons when we are born again. Ro 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. (God the Father will have many children, called “sons”) These scriptures appear to use the term “sons of God” as a technical description. Jesus, as the Only Begotten Son, does not belong to this classification, as denoted by “Only Begotten Son”. As the scriptures make clear in many places, Jesus is pre-emminant in all things. In recognizing the way the Bible uses such terms as “sons of God”, “son of God”, and “Son of God”, we need not take away from Who Jesus is. Sincerity is nothing. If I read it, I believe it. If you have a dispute with these ideas, your dispute is not with me but with the Word of God. Love in Christ, Mark |
