Subject: The Sons of God in Genesis 6:1-4 |
Bible Note: Jesusman, EXCELLENT assesment indeed. YET, "banah adam".....no implications here ?? Using the NT references of "being of" is a far stretch of what was being stated in the OT as of being from the lineage of. I cannot assume like you did in these references. The language doesnt support this type of assumption. Male members who were obedient and female members who indulged in the desires of the flesh and disobeyed God? As far as Gods point of VIEW of mankind ...it was totally depraved. If not, then Jesus didnt need to die for us. Since, mankind is totally depraved, then, the union of sons and daughters has to be the FOCAL point of the whole issue. Who the sons were and who the daughters were. BUT we have all gone through this over and over... and since we cannot come to an agreement that what we (us/them) see is not what we (them/us) see and both views offer up some enlightening study. I believe we can live together on these differences. I must say this was very intriguing and infomative indeed. We have both agreed on one thing, I noticed. That being diligent in the study of the Word can profit us (them/you/me) much. In that respects (diligence) I do believe the Lord will say, "Well done my good and faithful servant..." *SHALOM* the Disciple |
