AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 6:4 There were Nephilim (men of stature, notorious men) on the earth in those days--and also afterward--when the sons of God lived with the daughters of men, and they gave birth to their children. These were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown (great reputation, fame). [Num 13:33] |
Subject: Who were the son's of God in Job? |
Bible Note: The context of 2 Peter 2:4 and Jude 1:6-7 show that the angels (along with those who came out of Egypt, Sodom and Gomorrah, and the people in the days of Noah) are given as examples to assure that the "filthy dreamers" will also pay for their sins. Read the context in a reliable translation and you will find that these verses do not give support for you view. Are you understanding that the phrase "since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality... to refer to the angels? If you read the KJV or the ASV you will see that this phrase refers to the cities of the plain that were destroyed when Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed, not to the angels. Remember that Jesus said that the "angels neither marry or are given in marriage." How could they procreate with human beings? Especially since they are spirits and human beings procreate physically. In reference to Job 38:15, we must understand that the context must be studied to determine the meaning of the words and that a word or phrase may be the same in two different verses but it may refer to different things. To me, the context in Job 1 requires the "sons of God" to refer to human beings. But if it did refer to angels, that does not necessarily mean that Gen. 6:4 refers to angels. |
