21 | "sons of God saw daughters of men?" | Genesis | quvmoh | 203308 | ||
As I stated earlier, I'm not wanting to argue. I was merely using the passages you quoted to better strengthen my own claims. Quvmoh |

But look at the context of the passages. In Genesis 6, in the chapters leading up to it you have the geneologies of Seth and Cain, which have names listed in both ones. You also have afterwards, God preparing for the Flood because Man was wicked. There is no serious mention of Angels at all until Abraham, save for the Angel with the Flaming sword guarding Eden. It makes far greater sense within the Context to interpret this passage as when the two family lines fused into one than two assume that Angels came down for a brief moment to have sex. In Job chapter 1 and 2, the first 5 verses of Job talks about Job and his family gathered together for prayer and worship of God, and Job praying for his Sons. Yet that seems to always be conveniently tossed aside and ignored when leading into verse 6 and beyond. In Luke 20, the context clearly points to humans set up in verses 27-24. Also, I don't know what translation you are using, but in the NASB there is a clear change of thought when it comes to the "sons of God" phrase, and clearly points to the Saved Humans. Luke 20:36 "or they cannot even die anymore, because they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection." The passages in Romans 8 and Galatians 3 both clearly identify Human believers in Christ. I'll even add one for you. 1 John 3:1 "See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called Children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know him." And another that clearly refutes Angels as being identified as "Sons" or "Children" of God. Hebrews 1:5 "For to which of the angels did He ever say 'You are My Son, Today I have begotten you.'?" Then you have this later on .. Hebrews 5:5 "So also Christ did no glorify Himself so as to become a high priest, but He who said to Him 'You are My Son, Today, I have begotten you.'." I'm sorry, Tim Moran, but I cannot in good conscience believe or promote "sons of God" phrases used in the Bible to being in reference to Angels. The Context simply does NOT support it at all.

23 | "sons of God saw daughters of men?" | Genesis | quvmoh | 203294 | ||
I don't want to get into a debate over something such as this, but Angels do not fit the criteria you describe here. Angels don't have dominion over anything. Angels are servants to God. Jesus even says that Angels neither marry, nor are given in marriage. Hebrews, I believe is the book, comes right out and tells us that humans are higher than Angels. If you follow the term "Son(s) of God" through the scripture, you see it is referring to Either human followers of God and Jesus or to Jesus himself. Its simple reading of the context of scripture. To insert Angels as the meaning of this phrase in this passage is a blatant misuse of the Context of Scripture. Quvmoh |

It is important who the "Sons of God" were. As John wrote in his 1st epistle, "Beloved how wonderful it is that we are called the Children of God." Paul told the Romans, "We cry out "Abba, Father." Even the author of Hebrews asked "To which of the angels did God say 'Today you are my son, today I have begotten you.'" The implication is that none of the Angels have ever earned that title. To be called a son or a daughter or a child of the Most High is an honor and a pleasure that no being in all of creation or beyond it can ever attain except those who are washed and cleansed by the saving blood of Christ Jesus. While it may seem trivial to some about this issue of who these groups are in this passage in Genesis is referring to, it is vital that we comprehend the damage and insult it is to give our title of Adopted children of God to a being such as an angel whose entire purpose is servitude. The true believers and followers of God through out the Bible are the Children, sons, and daughters of God. No one else is given that title. We don't even deserve it because of our sinful past. Yet through his mercy and grace, we receive it gladly and lovingly, secure in the knowledge that nothing we do will ever change the fact that we are God's beloved children. Quvmoh |

26 | Does Paul contradict Jesus? | NT general | quvmoh | 203047 | ||
One last bit that I intended to mention, but didn't. There are no contradictions in the Bible. Paul doesn't contradict Jesus. Instead, he clarifies what Jesus taught. Every apparent contradiction can be easily explained when viewed with in the context of scripture. Quvmoh |

27 | witnessing to church going homosexuals | Gen 9:25 | quvmoh | 202905 | ||
Greetings, Usually I keep quiet, only reading the comments. However, I feel it is my christian duty to respond to this. There is a saying that floats in my mind. "Care for the Sinner, but hate the Sin." While I would welcome a person into my congregation who has a need to hear the word, I would NOT, under any circumstances, promote, tolerate, embrace, or condone any act that the Bible clearly declares as sinful. While I respect science, progress, and learning, I must disagree with the noted Medical and Psychological associations and say that Homosexuality is a choice. Ultimately, a choice is made to participate, whether that choice is made freely or forcefully. If we compromise our beliefs to accept what the Bible, our primary source of knowing the Will of God, mandates as wrong, then what will be next? What is the next compromise we make? In closing, I'll end with another saying that floats in my mind. "Give a mouse a cookie, he'll want a glass of milk." Quvmoh |
