1 | Who are the "sons of God" in Genesis 6? | Gen 6:2 | stjohn | 189069 | ||
Hello, InGodITrust It is good to see you back at the forum, and in business! So to speak, I appreciate your learned counsel and hope all is well my friend. Well, I'd like to give my two cents on this one if I may, and I mean no disrespect I can assure you. I often find myself in disagreement with a particular bit of commonly accepted scripture in a disputable area, and when I look around I can see plainly that I am among brethren that believe in the same Gospel as I do, so even on the occasion of disagreement I often find myself in good company. I'd like to add that I consider you very good company. Having said that, I'd like to address the title of [Son's of God] in this verse. It seems to me, that Son's of God could not or should not be given to [fallen] Angels. A fallen Angel would not in my opinion be a [Son of God] he would be a son of the devil, or Satin. Would he not? So, I have a hard time accepting that view. Also, I don't think that the grammar of verse 4 would dictate that, as many believe it does. In v 4, "There were giants on the earth in those days--and also afterward--when the sons of God lived with the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. Keeping in mind, that when Moses wrote there was no breakdown in the structure of scripture into sentences, it would seem that the statement "There were giants on the earth in those days" Is simply that, its just a statement that there were Giants in the land. There were giants in Joshua's day as well, and I don't think that Scripture says that they were the offspring of fallen Angles. And, after Moses writes that he says; and I think we should take note of this, [and also afterward] In other words like saying, and after this you know down the road a bit we have, "when the sons of God lived with the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown." Well it looks to me that he, Moses, might be simply saying, that the Son's of God are in the line of Able and the Son's of men are the son's are in the line of Cain. I believe, that these men were mighty men, and, men of renown, but I don't see them as the giants in the first part of this verse. This might also imply that someone today that is considered a giant, might be the offspring of a fallen Angel and I believe this could foster prejudice against them and would not be fair to them to imply that, just because they are big. Nor do I believe they [the mighty men of renown] are the son's of fallen Angels. Also, Jesus says in Mark 12:25 "For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven." Also I'd like to add that I agree with the premiss that someone who is possessed by a demon can have offspring, they still would be hard-pressed to call themselves Son's of God, even though they may be the spirits of fallen Angels. I hope that was worth two cents. ;-) God bless. John |

2 | Who are the "sons of God" in Genesis 6? | Gen 6:2 | OldPilgrim | 189145 | ||
Hi John. I think it not unreasonable to conclude that the expression, "sons of God", in the verse bellow refers to Angels. What do you think? Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them. In His service. OldPilgrim. |

Howdy OldPilgim, Yes, that verse in Job 1:6 does indeed refer to Angles as the Son's of God. I agree, no problem whatsoever.. However, do you think that [fallen] Angels, followers of Satin, would be referring to the Son's of God?.. And, certainly if the son's of God are Good Angels...... What where they doing fornicating with Humans? That would make them bad Angels.. Would it not? Ether way you cant convince me that The Son's of God are Fallen Angels, not at all, not in this instance. Sorry I just cant accept it. And again, Our Lord said, when referring to the dearly departed, "they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven." He clearly indicated that the Angels [do not marry], nor are they given in marriage..... And again, how can we call the fallen Angels and followers of Satin/The devil,... Son's of God? Humans possessed by evil spirits, are The Son's of God-?! ... I am Sorry, I just don't see that as a viable option. And like I said about the giants being the offspring of Humans and Angels, Well, I think something that fantastic would be mentioned more then once, especially sense there is a good few instances of giants in the bible. My opinion of corse; but I am quite certain that we would have heard more about them being the offspring or decedents of Fallen Angels and Humans, and the inference in that one verse is pretty vague.. Anyway,... Fallen Angels,.. Son's of God? I don't know about that? You may ask. Why then does God/Moses chose this time to mention Giants?. Well, I don't know, I guess we can ask Him/him someday. ;-) Thanks for the response OldPilgram, I appreciate you being here at the forum. I've always liked Old Pilgrams. ;-) God bless. John |
