Subject: Can angels have human babies? |
Bible Note: Hello BRETHEREN, It would seem, that since Cain's familyline and Seth's familyline were the only familyline's known to man, most of us would consider the line of Seth and Cain to be the obvious rendering for this "offspring". Some would argue that in the NT it says Jesus said angels are not given into marriage. Or does this mean they arent given into being allowed to marry? Both views offer good insight. Looking at the Nephilim from the point of view that they are "offspring" of a supernatural nature considering their unnatural stature could verily be substantiated by Scripture if we look into the "angels" or "sons of God" from the context they were written. And not from the bias we have from one verse. We find angels being held in chains until they are released by Jesus. They are held down because they ONCE left thier "familiar surroundings" or "abode" or "created use of influence" for the use of decieiving mankind. What kind of haneous crime can an angel do to be put into lockdown from God.? We know 1/3 of the Host were cast down with Lucifer... would it be presumptious of us to think some decided to leave their sphere of familiarity to wreck havoc on mankind? Deception has been Lucifers tools since the beginning. Why would this be any less deceptive than other ways he used Us? ....lets not convolute the story..... *shalom* D |
