Bible Question:
I have read your response. Thanks you and everyone for helping with my studies. You mentioned this scripture "Jude 1:6-7 "And those angels not having kept their first place, but having deserted their dwelling-place, He has kept in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of a great Day; 7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, in like manner to these, committing fornication, and going away after other flesh, laid down an example before-times, undergoing vengeance of everlasting fire." You have given me many scriptures to research. I know I have more reading and research, but I needed to ask this question. Sorry, I am very confused. This does tell me that angels left their dwelling place. As many have done, many angels were sent to rely messages and communicate with humans. However when I read Gen 19. I get the impression the men were after angels(which are also called men interchangeably??), not the other way around. I am confused as to how this explains that it is possible that another species can be created in Gen 6. This would different be another species (angels and humans ) ?? That even though the desire for men to be with the angels was there, but it doesn't state that it happened. When I read Gen 19, it appears the angels were in control of the situation because they pulled Lot back in and Gen 19:11 says "And they struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness..so that they became weary trying to find the door". Thanks for your help |
Bible Answer: Hi Noveta, Men went after the angels in Sodom. Holy angels were in control of the situation, and nothing happened. Assuming that it was angels in Gen. 6, it was the angels going after women, and again, the fallen angels were in control of the situation. Angels have more power than do men. Whenever angels appeared to people in the OT, they are described as appearing as men. The angels in Jude that "left their first place" would not be the same as those that are sent by God, because they are being punished by God. As to how these unions would creat a new species? I don't know the mechanics. But I think that they did. I could be wrong. It certainly is very strange. I hope this does in fact help! :-) Love in Christ, Mark |
