Bible Note: Hello again, tgc; Sorry it took some time to get back, but this is what I have found after reading your submission to the note board. "Sons of God" is not an exclusive term, and can possibly refer to angels as it seems to here in Job 38:6-7, "Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?" or, also used of men, as in the following verses: Deut. 14:1, Hosea 1:10; Luke 3:38; John 1:12; 1 John 3:1 In Genesis 6:2 I submit to you, that the "sons of God" were the righteous line of Seth (Genesis 4:26) that had been intermarrying with evil Cain-anites. It has been argued that only angel-human co-mingling could produce the "nephilim" spoken of in Gen. 6:4. But the sons of Anak spoken of in Num. 13:33 were also giants, and these obviously were not angel-human offspring, simply because they existed long after the flood. Luke 20:35, seems to sum up the fact that angels do not marry, "But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:" Also, another interesting subject of study is finding out why Jesus often referred to Himself as "the Son of Man" Also, I will be happy to research this further, you need only to ask. Blessings, tim PS, do you have any idea as to why this thread has been restricted? |
