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: Well, I might argue with you concerning the reliability of the NASB. But you really surprised me by giving Jesus' conception as an example of a spirit procreating with a human being. I suppose that you believe that since the Bible says that Mary was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit that you think the Holy Spirit fathered Jesus by having sexual relations with Mary as you seem to think the angels had sexual relations with human beings in Genesis 6:4. If that's not what you mean I hope you will say so. If it is what you mean have you thought about the consequences of such a belief? If what you imply is so, then why does the Bible call Mary a virgin? If what you say is so, then Mary committed fornication with the Holy Spirit and Jesus was an illigetimate child. The fact is that Jesus' birth was a miracle performed by the Holy Spirit. Jesus was and is the only child who has ever been born of a virgin. MARY DID NOT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH A SPIRIT!! To take such a view is SACRILEGIOUS and it is a PERVERSION of scripture to so state! In response to the last sentence of your note just let me say that a word does not always mean the same thing in every passage in the Bible. Sometimes the meaning of the word has to be determined by the context. Take the word "serpent" for example. At times the word serpent refers to Satan (Genesis 3:1) but at other times it just refers to the animal we know as a snake (Exodus 4:3). In Genesis 49:16 Dan is referred to as a "serpent." The word serpent does not always refer to Satan. The context must determine what it refers to. Thus, there are examples of the Bible using words that do not always mean the same thing in every passage. I hope you will study further and renounce your example of Jesus' conception being the result of Mary having sexual relations with a spirit. Such a belief not only questions the legitimate birth of Jesus but it questions the purity of Mary. |
