Subject: Can angels have human babies? |
Bible Note: Jude (6) The example of the angels who sinned; Jude speaks of the angels who sinned, and who are now imprisoned, awaiting a future day of judgement. Gen 6:1-2 Now it came to pass, when men began to muliply 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. How cam we know there was something sexual here? Jude tells us in verse 7: in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh-[as]in "Sodom and Gomorrah". (The Gr. word for strange is "other" (7) Is explaining the example of Sodom and Gomorrah in that verse. Sodom and Gomorrah stand as an example of God's judgement also; their sin (homosexuality comspicuously, but other also) necessitated God's judgement of fire. Sodom and Gomorrah is us a term in verse (7) is used as a comparison "term" regarding the disobedient angels. Sodom and Gomorrah is used all over the bible as a warning, a example, or a reminder to those that are behaving in that form and fashion, or an result in disobedients all over the bible. |
