So fallen angels (sons of God) had sexual encounters with women and by product was GIANTS. The only preserved - genetically pure was line of Noah that is why only Noah was instructed before the FLOOD to build the Arc so that he and his family (8 souls in total) so that God's creation could be preserved. The flood was due to GIANTS mixing with Men seed which was against God's rules.
C Boyer, the sons of God referred in Genesis 6 are angels you can refer to Job 2vs1 and Job 38vs6-7. And 2 Peter 2vs4-5 clearly states that these angels are under confinement in hell, the first fallen angels of Lucifer are not under hell prison as they are demons which wonder and roam around the earth seeking to turn men away from God.
Alan, the answer is found in the NT. Heb. 11:7 states Building the ark condemned the world. 2 Peter 2:5 ….a preacher of righteous.... Hope this helps. A sister in Christ
God never called an angel (fallen or otherwise) His son, according to the apostle Paul in Hebrews. Jesus is the Son of God--not brother to fallen angels. Adam in the gospel geneology of Jesus is called "the son of God." Adam is not a fallen angel. John says "Beloved now we are the sons of God..." Seth's lineage (sons of God) intermarried with unbelievers and were wiped out in the flood.
I keep noticing a claim by Christians that Noah warned people of the Flood while he was building the Ark, and since nobody listened to him, they got swept away in the Flood. Sort of a reverse of the fable of the Boy Who Cried Wolf. But that's not actually what the text says happens, is it? Why is that teaching so widespread?
The Sons of God could not be the SETH line
Because they got wiped out in the flood! Only 8 survived?! Why didnt all the Sons of God survive?! They were a part of a Transhuman race called: Nephilim! So God wiped them out. Noah and his Sons and wives did not patticipate in this type of cohabitation thus Noah Found Grace in the eyes of the Lord! Its not difficult to understand: the Virgin Birth?!
Hello, Lorease. Thank you for the input. What I was trying to get at is this: "Sons of God" refers to the godly line of Seth. That line was now becoming polluted with Cain's descendants. There are no female angels mentioned in God's Word, true. When Jesus used both humans and angels He was referring to the resurrection. There will be no sex/procreation in Heaven.
Bro. Stephen in Matt 22:30 why would Jesus parallel angels and humans as He spoke on marriage? Why did God ordain marriage, to reproduce. Again many verses proves all angels are males. Isaiah 43:6 has nothing to do with Sons of God? When the verse clearly speaks of restoring the children of Israel. Sons of God vs sons and daughters major difference
Angels are sexless. Marriage in unknown among them ( Matthew 22.30) From the Scofield Bible: Verse two marks the breakdown of the the separation between the godly line of Seth and the ungodly line of Cain. Also, the title "sons of God" is not exclusive to angels: ( Isa. 43.6)
Cheryl, Sons of God (not Cain's seeds) are referencing angels that left their own habitation/heaven read Jude 1:6. Giants were birth due to angels mating w/women. There are many supporting scriptures angels are male gendered read Gen Chps 18
Cheryl: All through Scripture Angels are referred to in The Masculine Gender. The Angels that talk to Lot are Called Men.They are always Called by Masculine Names. -when they rise from the dead they neither Marry nor are given in Marriage but are as the Angels which are in Heaven: Mark 12:25 / Zechariah 5:9 Two Women have Wings like a Stork. Two Female Angels? Found nowhere else in Scripture.
How is it that we say that the daughters of man mated with the Angels when we are also taught the Angel's have no sex , are they taking about men having sex with woman without marrying her and then saying the made giant children none as the nephilim dosen't make sense ?
"To walk with God," to live in obedience to his commands, and have communion with him: Source: KingJamesBibleDictionary.com. BibleHub. Even Greek states, doing the "WILL of GOD."
Folks, be careful not to be mislead here. people take chapters like this, and create so many theories and use it to get followers. For example, is this talking about fallen angels? We don't really know here. "Sons of God" could have simply been Seth's line (people doing God's Will), and the wicked Cain's line. Giants could be big tall people or even dino's, we really don't know. Just be careful
This chapter tells us about fallen angels copulating with human race and consequently their giant-like huge in size children. The reason why Noah was only preserved is stated in Genesis 6:9Noah was perfect in his generation no fallen angel seed IN HIM. That is why God flooded everything else because it was corrupted with devil's seed.
"..GOD saw the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil continually.." We have been PRAYING our hearts out for all the evil cruelty and filthy perversion of the wicked to come out in the open, and that they be JUDGED with all the righteous fierceness they deserve! Now we understand better what means the intense heat of God's wrath!
"And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart." They wink at each other, and have a nice little chuckle and congratulate themselves for distancing themselves from the Saints of Jesus. But God scorns them!
If some want to follow voices of strangers and have itching ears for ridiculous fables that serve absolutely nothing to the advancement of faith, love and virtue in Christ; LET THEM! For the rest of us who seek the Lord Jesus, the message of a hopelessly lost and degenerate world about to be utterly destroyed moves us to move with fear and build the only means of salvation from the doom to come.
"..the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said, MY SPIRIT SHALL NOT ALWAYS STRIVE WITH MAN FOR THAT HE ALSO IS FLESH.." What do you hear the most from constantly the backslider who just can't quit sinning? Excusing their sins (which they secretly love) because their flesh is weak! This is the true doctrine.
Dawn; Read carefully the whole story in full: there is no reference to demons at all! Its all about the world of men as there was a great chasm dividing the Saints the sons (children) of God, and the descendants of Cain. There is nothing about what demons did; but that men did! They were resisting the conviction of the Spirit, and loving the things of this world; until only Noah was left!
A disciple, Ann is right those were fallen angels who had relations with daughters of men. The men of old and renown were fallen angels who produced giants with the daughters of man.
The truth is clear when doing some good old research. First, there is a 14 foot human leg bone on display PROVING there were giants on the earth, 2nd, Genesis 6 proves once again, Gods word is the truth not those that are here ONLY to claim they know best. Never claim to be "all knowing" when talking about God's word, God will surly make a fool of you.
Ann; that is a false teaching! Cain murdered his brother because he rejected God's Word, and willfully omitted all reference of Christ having to come in the flesh, when he came to present himself to God. Therefore he was rejected, and so he murdered his brother for being good. The sons of God then were the children of faith, and the sacred line descended from Seth instead of Able whom Cain slew.
The sons of God were the fallen angels who fell from heaven, which took the form of human-like creatures, and married the daughters of men, and the giants (the Nephilim) were the result of this sinful act. Genesis 6:4-8. The male angels (sons of God) Job 38:7 - Job 1:6.
Gigi (cont.) When keeping in the context of the first chapters of Genesis up to that point it is clear that there is a distinct moral and spiritual divide in the earth between the godly seed of the sons of God after the line of Seth and the heathen children of men after Cain. By Noah's day there had evolved such a darkness of apostasy that no one could anymore be moved by conviction of the Spirit.
Gigi; "who were those giants?" Well, I've never found a completely satisfying answer to that, other than the Word itself just on its face. I think we have to assume they were freakishly large men, or "man-like" creatures. One great error however about them comes from MIS-reading the verse around it; which many think says that the giants were the offspring of the sons of God marrying unsaved women.
who were those giants??
"That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose .... There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown"
