1 | Can angels have human babies? | Gen 6:4 | kalos | 2040 | ||
Can angels father or give birth to human babies? Are unicorns real? How about leprechauns? How many procreating angels can dance on the head of a pin? . . . The Nephilim in the Bible are "people of great size and strength. The Hebrew word means 'fallen ones.' In men's eyes they were the 'mighty men...of old, men of renown,' but in God's eyes they were sinners ('fallen ones') ripe for judgment." (Zondervan NASB Study Bile, p. 12) . . . "Gen 6:4 Nephilim. From a root meaning 'to fall'; i.e., to fall upon others because they were men of strength (only other use of this Hebrew word is in Num 13:33) Evidently they were in the earth before the marriages of Gen 6:2, and were not the offspring of those marriages from which came the *mighty* men (military men) and *men of renown * (of wealth or power)". (p. 16, Ryrie Study Bible, Moody Press, 1976, 1978) . . . "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. ... *Nephilim* are strong, violent, tyrannous men of great wickedness. It may well be that the explanation of these verses has been lost to us." (NRSV Harper Study Bible, Harold Lindsell, Ph.D., D.D., Grand Rapids, Michigan: Zondervan, 1991) |

Hi JVH, I really want to answer a question and compare scriptures and I can't find what they were. Can you answer here what scriptures we were discusssing? Here I would only say that there is only one Son of God, if you know my capitalization. Somewhere I spoke about Adam and the belief I had that Adam wasn't the Son or son of God; but in this sense I guess he and all the males after Adam were sons of God. I had been speaking about Jesus, being supposedly the Son of Joseph, son of, son of,...son of Adam,-- but actually the Son of God. Later, Ray V.H. |

4 | Can angels have human babies? | Gen 6:4 | Minister | 2114 | ||
Well I would say that Adam was a son of God, with the small "s". Because God is the Father of all mankind, also the Father of Creation, which he was made by God and that why Adam is a son. A son can produce a son. There have to be a father some-where in the picture. Yes, Adam was the first man, but he had to have a father and that Father was God. Now the bible talks about two different "sons of God" the sons of God in the OT and the NT. The OT are the 'fallen angels'. Scriptures: Gen 6:2-4; Job 1:6, 2:1; These are the angels in heaven(Job 38:7). The NT "sons of God" are those that are in Christ. Scriptures: Jhn 1:12; Rom 8:14-19; Phl 2:15; 1Jhn 3:1-2. Jesus the Christ the Son of the living God is the Son, with the big "S". Scriptures: Dan 3:25; Mat 4:3-6; Mat 14:33. I can give you many scriptures stating that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe this is anough information for you to get a understanding. But Adam would be the small "s". For your better understanding, read 1Cor. the 15 chapter to get a better understanding of the first and Second Adam which is Christ Jesus. The Son of the living God. Also Jesus was call the son of Joseph do the earthly laws. He was birth to Mary, the wife of Joseph. Therefore Mary was his bio. mother but by her being married to Joseph, he was considered as the son of Joseph, although he was birth by God in Spirit. Esample: Your mother was pregnant with you by her first love. Before her full nine month was due they seperated. Now your mother meet another man and married him before she gave birth to you. When she birth you into this world. The guy she married is your step-father. Although it was not your step-fathers semen that fertilized your mothers egg but he took on the role as your father when he married your mother. That is a prime esample of Mary, Joseph, and the Son of God. |

5 | Can angels have human babies? | Gen 6:4 | Ray | 2158 | ||
Dear Minister, Thank you for your input here. Malachi 2:10 reads,"Do we not all have one Father? Has not one God created us?"NKJ The capitalization of father is up for debate, it seems for the NASB is not capitalized. It is certainly true that we can have only one father. Jesus even, can not be the son of Joseph and the Son of God in my mind. There can only be one father and there is only one God as Malachi says, the Creator. So I agree, a son can produce a son but I can't agree that a son can produce a Son unless in a spiritual sense as Jesus discussed with the Pharisees about David, or in Jesus case when it was by the Holy Spirit. Not only then is Jesus the Son of Joseph in the spiritual sense but He is the Son of David, and the Son of Abraham per Matthew l:l in my mind. But back to Adam and the Creator. Adam was made out of the dust of the ground; created, made. He is not a Son. He was pronounced good. He was called Man. But we know he sinned and died spiritually. In a sense then, he bacame a man. But initially, he was made. Job 38:28 says, "Has the rain a father? Or who has begotten the drops of dew? From whose womb has come the ice? And the frost of heaven, who has given it birth?" In Adam's case also there didn't have to be a father, just a Creator. In your references I didn't find any reference to angels or fallen angels. I found children of God, adopted sons of the spirit, and in my mind Daniel spoke of one like the Son of God. Matthew 4 spoke of His angels but not in reference to the sons of God. But we can certainly put our amen to Matthew 14:33 This is certainly God's Son. Looking at 1 Cor 15:20, "But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. For since by a man (fallen Adam) came death, by a man (the Man Jesus) also came the resurrection of the dead." Parenthesis mine The twenty second verse echoes this contrast of man and Man. You said that due to the earthly laws he "was considered as" the son of Joseph. This could be another reading of "being supposedly the son of Joseph." But I believe that the correct reading of scripture would be "being, as was supposed, the Son of Joseph. Scripture translators have had no problem in calling Him the Son of David; why not the Son of Joseph and Son of Abraham, or even of the Man, Adam? The second Adam. I don't think an earthly example carries any weight here. Later, Ray V.H. |

P.S. I meant to suggest an interpretation or thought about Job 38:7. First, with verse 4, "Where were you (Job, or whoever darkens counsel by words without knowledge)when I laid the foundation of the earth?...and all the sons of God shouted for joy?" There was no one around shouting for joy when the foundation of the earth was laid, not even Job. | ||||||
