Bible Question:
Suppose your right about GENISIS 6, which you are not.Then could those fallen Angels be redeemed since they now are flesh.And if Spirits can manifest them selves as people then how do we know that the resurected Christ wasnt Satan manifest.Would God Flood the whole world and make man guilty of what the satanic beings iniciated, no way. The Bible proclaims that we are all from one seed. And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:Acts 17:27 (KJV) And our Savior says that a spirit does not have blood and bones as you see me have. Also we know that Angels are not given in Marriage. So what does GEN 6 mean , merely that the Knigs of that time married out of their estate, This is how they fell. Archiology shows that they were called the sons of God. Your brother in Christ RCSCROLL |
Bible Answer: Hello RCSROLL, Thanks for your response. Whether or not the fallen angels are to be redeemed I only know what scripture says. The structure of 2Pet2:4-8 is in relation to the "Ungodly of Old Time" as follows: vs.4-Angels vs.-4 cast down to Tartarus vs.5-The old world vs-5 The Flood vs.6- Sodom and Gomorrha vs-6-8 Overthrown With all due respects I think we need to let scripture speak for itself regarding God flooding the world. In my KJV it doesn't say the whole world just the ungodly world.(Not to start another discussion, just what my KJV says). 2Pet2:4 - For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgement; 2Pet2:5 - And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; Based on the above text in my opinion it doesn't appear the angels have much chance for redemption but that is up to God. Regarding "The Sons of God" in Gen.6:2,4 It is only by Divine specific act of creation that any created being can be called, "a son of God". For that which is "born of the flesh is flesh". God is spirit, and that which is 'born of the Spirit is spirit"(John 3:6). Hence Adam is called a"son of God" in Luke 3:38. Those "in Christ" having "the new nature" which is by direct creation of God(2Cor5:17,Eph 2:10) can be, and are called"sons of God"(John 1:13, Rom 8:14,15, 1John3:1). This is why angels are called"sons of God' in every other place where the expression is used int the Old Testament. Job 1:6,2:1,38:7, Psalm 29:1,89:6, Dan 3:25(no art.) We have no authority or right to take the expression in Gen 6:2,4 in any other sense. Moreover, in Gen. 6:2 the Sept. renders it "angels". Angels are called "spirits"(Psalm 104:4, Heb 1:7,14), for spirits are created by God. That there was a fall of the angels is certain from Jude 6. The nature of their fall is clearly stated in the same verse. They left their own(oiketerion). This word occurs only in 2Cor 5:2 adn Jude 6, where it is used of the spiritual(or resurrection)body. The nature of their sin is stated to be "in like manner" to that of the subsequent sins of Sodom and Gomorrha, Jude 7. The time of their fall is given as having taken place "in the days of Noah"(1Pet3:20, 2Pet2:7), though there may have been a prior fall which caused the end of "the world that then was"(Gen 1:1,2, 2Pet3:6). For this sin they are "reserved unto judgement", 2Pet2:4, and are in "prison" 1Pet3:19. Their progeny, called Nephillim(translated "giants"), were monsters of iniquity; and, being superhuman in size and character, had to be destroyed. This I believe was the one and only object of the Flood. Only Noah and his family had preserved their pedigree pure from Adam(Gen 6:9). All the rest had become"corrupt" destroyed(as Adamites). The only remedy was to destroy it, as it had become destroyed. This irruption of fallen angels was satan's first attempt to prevent the coming seed of the Seed of the woman foretold in Gen 3:15. If this this could be accomplished, God's Word would have failed, and his(satan) own doom would be averted. This is what I believe. A question I have regarding Jesus changing form is in Mark16:12 Jesus appeared in a different form than he had in verse 16:9? Also on the mount of transfiguration were Moses and Elijah in the spirit or in the flesh? What do you think? Thanks RCSCROLL I appreciate your thoughts. Peace in Faith and Hope, Casiv |
