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] |
Bible Question:
Forum Fellows, Can spiritual beings procreate with fleshly beings? I can think of only one instance in the Bible where this took place, and that was the conception of Christ Jesus in Mary by the Holy Spirit. Yet, the 'common interpretation' of this scripture is that the sons of God are angels. If we believe the angels can procreate with humans, then it follows that demons can, too. Or is this another thing that is 'for a limited time only?' Blessings in Christ Jesus. charis |
Bible Answer: No if you do not possess a fleshly body you can not procreate. Persons with good spirits can procreate. And persons with evil spirits can also procreate. One thing that we must understand is that if a person with an evil spirit is responsible for our birth, we will not be held accountable for the sins of our parents. We will be accountable individually for our own sins. The reason God ended the world with a flood was because all were rotten to the core. Except for one man Noah. |
