1 | Sons of God cannot be angels in Gen 6:4 | Gen 6:4 | hotrod_ragtop | 27753 | ||
OK ... how do you explain demons and demonic possession which was addressed by Jesus when He practiced casting them out of people? 1/3rd of the angels fell with satan, and, because satan is not God, he cannot be everyplace all the time, so he has a lot of help ... demons ... fallen angels. Yes, our flesh is a great enemy of ours, but the Bible specifically addresses demonic activity in the world well into and throughout the New Testament (Ephesions 6:11-12 - Put on the whole armour of God, thaat ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places). And we see from scripture angels appeared to many in fleshly form: Abraham, Lot (the townspeople saw the angels as human and wanted to have homosexual relations with them.) And the Matthew 22:30 reference to angels not being given in marriage, let's back up a little to 28 and 29 and the previous conversation. The Saducees were trying to trick Jesus by asking if a woman married several times, who would be her husband in heaven? The scripture actually says,"Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they (humans) neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven." Key here is angels in heaven, the Niphilim were not desendents of angels in heaven. Demons are nasty dudes and have great power (Ephesians 6) and I'm not convinced yet that Genesis 6:2-6 are the Cain/Seth ancestors. You did a great job with a lot of great references. Keep digging and trying to change my mind. God bless! | ||||||

Where do you find humans that were sons of God before Jesus? He was the first (human) to ever become a son of God, in so doing He became The Son of God. God has only granted the privilege to human beings to become his sons since the incarnation of Christ, and this can only come about through faith in God uniquely born Son, Jesus. John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: The name of God's human Son through the hypostatic union wasn't available in Genesis. Therefore all of those mentioned as God's sons in the Old Testament had to be angelic in nature seeing that they are a direct action of God's creation, just as believers are a direct action of God's creative work with their new nature, thus making believers sons of God. 2 Cor. 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. The word creature comes to us from the word KTISIS, which means original formation, just like the angels. Marry Christmas to all that are new creatures in Christ, CDBJ |
