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! | ||||||

Hello again hotrod_ragtop, I have no need to "keep trying" to change your mind! :-) I see no correlation whatsoever to demon possession and Genesis 6:4. Also, there is no place in Scripture that even begins to suggest that demons, or fallen angels, could have ever assumed a phyical "shape", without inhabiting a human first. So, in response to your post, you should keep digging! Perhaps you could find some Biblical support for your viewpoint. :-) Blessings to you, Nolan |
