Bible Note: (Genesis 6:1-4) Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. And the Lord said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years." There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. You wrote: - “What has to be recognized is that there was no 'godly line of Seth'. Seth's descendants were as ungodly as Cain's.” Please note the Godly line of Seth: Genesis 4:26 To Seth, to him also a son was born; and he called his name Enosh. Then men began to call upon the name of the LORD. Luke 3:38 . . . the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God. You wrote: - “Why on earth should a line which was to be largely destroyed for sin be called 'sons of God'? And why should their subsequent offspring have been so unique as to be 'men of renown'?” Does it make more sense that demons should be called “Sons of God?” You wrote: - “The only way to remove the effects of these unions was total destruction.” Ever heard of Goliath? Guess that destruction was not total! Read the verses carefully. It says there were giants in those days and also afterward, mighty men, men of renown. It does not say they were the result of the sons of God being united with the daughters of men, but actually existed before that time. The LORD said, “My Spirit shall not strive with MAN forever,” not Man-Demons. Women are human and angels are spirit beings, angels cannot cohabit or reproduce with women. Each kind is to produce after it’s own kind. Do angels reproduce? For your consideration, Holmes |
