Can you prove your theories from the Bible without any comments?
Job 1:6) Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

Job 2:1) Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.

Dan 3:
25) He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
28) Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.

Gen 6:2) That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

Gen 6:4) 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.

1 Pet 3:
19) By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
20) Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

The spirits in prison were the ones who caused the extreme evil in Gen 6.

All correct. And don't forget this passage

Job 38 4Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. 5Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
6Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
7When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Considering God is stating the sons of God were created BEFORE THE EARTH and witnessed its creation, they could obviously not be human beings.

first of all...in order to reproduce with a human you need to have human DNA...angels are not human so they don't have human DNA...angels interbreeding with humans is about as possible as breeding a zebra with a potato...

anyway this is -not- what scripture says happened...a careful reading of the text basically dismantles any theory that angels interbred with humans and produced giant offspring...

first we have to define 'sons of God' and 'daughters of men'... the earliest reference to anyone being a son of God is in exodus 4:22...when God calls israel his firstborn son... the next occurrence is in deuteronomy 32:19...where moses calls the israelites God's sons and daughters... so the 'sons of God' are God's people...which is confirmed later on in the new testament too...

'sons of God' is not a term of -lineage- but rather a term of -allegiance- in that the sons of God are those that belong to the kingdom of God... in the context of genesis 6 this can only refer to the ever dwindling number of godly sethites

to be consistent we would also have to interpret 'daughters of men' in terms of allegiance too...they must be those who belong to the kingdom of men... in the context of genesis 6 this must refer to the ever increasing numbers of worldly cainites...

as the world became more wicked...more and more of the godly sethites married worldly cainites based purely on physical attraction... this situation is repeated many times in the bible...for example in the marriages of esau...and in the book of judges...

why was this displeasing to God? because 'interfaith' marriages rarely result in the children being brought up in the ways of God... basically the godly sethite nation was allowing itself to be consumed by the worldly cainite nation...the children were not being raised to follow God or trust in the messianic promise of genesis 3...and by noah's time the messianic promise was one generation away from being forgotten entirely...

can you imagine what a mess it would have been if jesus had come and nobody...not one person...knew who he was or even realized that it mattered? to prevent this situation from ever becoming a possibility again God later in the bible sets israel apart from the other nations as a special people to preserve his word and his messianic promise...

another point that needs to be made is that the bible does -not- say that the nephilim were the children of the sons of God and daughters of men...and it does -not- say that they were giants...

the reference to 'giants' is a mistranslation in the king james version...the hebrew word there is 'nephilim'...which by the way does -not- mean 'fallen ones'...there is nothing in the hebrew etymology that implies the nephilim have anything to do with fallen angels...

what the word 'nephilim' actually means is 'those who fell'...not fell in the sense of something falling to the ground...but more like in the sense of felling trees...knocking things down... the nephilim were people who struck other people down...

so nephilim does not refer to a specific tribe or bloodline but rather to a way of living...nephilim lived lives characterized by violence towards others...they were mass murderers...like the khmer rouge of the ancient world...

this agrees perfectly with what the beginning of genesis 6 is about in the first place...God is upset because the earth is filled with violence...violence no doubt caused by the nephilim for whom violence was a way of life...

more proof that the nephilim were human and not angel-human hybrids is found in the fact that there were nephilim present long -after- the flood too...when any bloodline that wasn't in noah's ancestry should have already been wiped out... also numbers 13 indicates that the anakites were of the nephilim...and the anakites can be shown to be an unambiguously human clan...specifically a clan of the rephaite tribe...which was a tribe of the amorite nation...which was a nation of the canaanite people...descendants of canaan son of ham son of noah...fully human just like us...

finally i must point out that the bible nowhere says that the nephilim were offspring of the sons of God and daughters of men...it only says that they were on the earth 'in those days'...in the days when the sons of God were marrying the daughters of men and having children... it is like saying 'there were computers in the world back when my parents got married and had children'...language which in no way implies that the computers are the children of my parents...

now it only remains to ask the question...if this concept of angel-human marriages and hybrid offspring is not biblical...then where does it come from? the truth is that it comes from pagan mythologies which were -full- of demi-gods... for example gilgamesh was said to be two thirds divine and one third human...and zeus was reported to have produced entire nations with human women...

in post old testament times some of the jewish people were influenced by these pagan mythologies...which is why we find examples of the 'angel theory' in the book of enoch and in some of the jewish commentaries... in more modern times they have been popularized by some of christianity's 'usual suspects'...cults such as the 'serpent seed' movement...and some of the christians who promote conspiracy theories... finally some new agers have latched on to this idea...inspired more by the ancient pagan mythologies than by any biblical considerations...
It really boils down to how you interpret this verse

Gen 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that (meaning also after the flood, a second influx), when the sons of God came in unto daughters of men, and bare children to them (referring to the previously mention giants), the same (giants) became mighty men which were of old, men of renown

Because I can say "There were children in 1992; and also after 1992, when the men came in unto women, and bare children to them, the same children became mighty men which were of old, and men of renown.

And its believed by some that Greek mythology got their ideas from the bible, not the other way around. Some think the idea of Hercules came from Samson in judges. They just exaggerated and perverted the truth.

Yes, and there you have it the two different natures that I've been trying to
get across to both of you. Even though seth was born in iniquity, in the image of
Adam, he became a worshiper of God, And to me that speaks of us who have
been born again. Cain not so, even though we know that he knew God to a certain
extent, "just enough to be dangerous," Which speaks to me as being Religious, which
The Lord had a problem with in the Day He came.

So, to my understanding, these sons of God in Gen. 6 are the ones who know just enough
to produce Giants, ......False propets, False Doctrines, Beastial, carnally minded.

These are the Fallen Ones in this World today, They minister, preach, teach, and more than
anything control the minds of babes in christ. There called Denominations, and last I heard
there is about 33,000 different ones. When there should be NO DIVISIONS AMONG US.

But they are held in chains of Darkness, and now you know exactly what I am talking about.
The Tower of Babylon is another form of Religion.
The Giants always appear, right where the people of God ought to be.
The promise land, in the presence with the sons of God before Him in Job, etc.


Allright, now you can begin to rip into me. But I believe what I believe.
By the way, I wasnt quite understanding what you were trying to say either, thats why I didnt respond. I see what your saying now. I kindly disagree :).....no ripping

H5303

From H5307; properly, a feller, that is, a bully or tyrant: - giant.

Genesis 6:5

Num 13:33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as GRASSHOPPERS, and so we were in their sight.

The word giant here is H5303

From H5307; properly, a feller, that is, a bully or tyrant: - giant.

Sounds like a literal giant to me :)

yes the spirits in the prison were and they were human who were disobedient to God.

take this verse.... who are the "they"? are they human beings?

Matthew 24:37-39

New King James Version (NKJV)

37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

In teaching on Conversion Jesus says we must become as a little child
Then says :

Mat 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.

I still say that when we are born again we are angels in the Heavens (in Christ)
But in the earth still human (Christ in Us).

How else could He say "That where I am, There you may be also."

He was in the earth, but talking about being in The Father too
at the same time.

Jud 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but LEFT THEIR OWN HABITATION, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
Jud 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them IN LIKE MANNER, giving themselves over to FORNICATION, and going after STRANGE FLESH, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Strange flesh is not angels but other flesh
Romans 1:26-27
(26) For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
(27) And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

always read that as angels who set up people to worship them as false gods. who instead of being guides and helps wanted to be like Lucifer and claim to be God Almighty. Demanding worship from God's children instead of being their servants and caretakers.

What God meant for celestial angels to do:

1. Minister to those who will inherit salvation

Hebrews 1
13 But to which of the angels has He ever said:

“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool”?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?


2. Give them the Law

Acts 7:52-54
52 Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who foretold the coming of the Just One, of whom you now have become the betrayers and murderers, 53 who have received the law by the direction of angels and have not kept it.”


3. To be guardians and stewards of His children:

Galatians 4:1-3
New King James Version (NKJV)
4 Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, 2 but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father.


Therefore I believe that the verse refers to leaving their habitation in leaving their duty and seeking power and worship where they ought not. often Idol worship is described as whoring after other gods. I believe those false gods to be fallen angels.

6Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
7When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

First I would read the verses in a fuller context.

Job 38
New King James Version (NKJV)
38 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said:

2 “Who is this who darkens counsel
By words without knowledge?
3 Now prepare yourself like a man;
I will question you, and you shall answer Me.
4 “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?
Tell Me, if you have understanding.
5 Who determined its measurements?
Surely you know!
Or who stretched the line upon it?
6 To what were its foundations fastened?
Or who laid its cornerstone,
7 When the morning stars sang together,
And all the sons of God shouted for joy?
can you answer God?

Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?

I can only say I do not know. I do not remember.

What would your answer be?

can you answer the next question: Who determined its measurements?

God did

Who stretched the line upon it?

Did God or did He have angels?

to what where its foundations fastened?

Do you know? We have science to tell us about gravity but even they do not really know what is in the center of the Earth. However is God referring to the material Earth or the Spiritual world that is UNSEEN by men without the aid of the Holy Spirit?

therefore what or I would say Who is the cornerstone of the World?

I believe it is the WORD. Jesus Christ. He is the Cornerstone. don't you remember the verses:

John 1
New King James Version (NKJV)

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend[a] it.


do you even know who the morning stars are? perhaps these verses will help.....

2 Peter 1:19-21
New King James Version (NKJV)
19 And so we have the prophetic word confirmed,[a] which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, 21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God[c] spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

Revelation 22
16 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”


why do people forget these words?

Romans 8
19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. 23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.


Do you still not know about the children of God and who they really are? notice the words "eagerly waits" and "until now"? hmmm....


In addition, where does it say in the Bible that Angels are children of God?

I have not read it anywhere in the BIBLE that ANGELS {as in Heavenly Celestial beings} are the CHILDREN of God but have heard many manmade doctrines that state it and imply and are blindly accepted by most people.

so could someone show me

1. scripture that says ANGELS are first HEAVENLY BEINGS and not just MESSANGERS of God be they earthly or celestial?

2. that those Heavenly celestial beings are referred to as Children of God.

Because I have found these verses and it makes me wonder....

Hebrews 1
5 For to which of the angels did He ever say:

“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”?[c]
And again:

“I will be to Him a Father,
And He shall be to Me a Son”?[d]


it implies that God has never said that about ANY angel, but talks about Jesus in that manner. In addition I have given scripture from the OT that shows that David thought God was talking about Solomon in the same manner and with the words "I will be to Him a Father and he shall be to Me a son"

therefore I think the scriptures from Job have been misread and misunderstood.

Job did not know the answer for Jesus reveals to us that even the angels did not know and that He was revealing things that have been hidden.

1 Peter 1:12
To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things which angels desire to look into.

For those who continue to insist that the 'sons of God' were men only, how is it they were able to go before the Lord in Heaven and satan come with them? Especially since the hebrew text doesn't say 'sons of God' it says 'DIVINE BEINGS'
I would really like to see someone explain this.

And for those who have claimed that angels don't have reproductive organs, how do you know? Have you seen a angel naked, can you show anywhere in the Bible that says they don't have them?

In the hebrew 'sons of God' is "bene Ha Elohim" which in this perticular usage, pertains to the angels. Which coincides with what the hebrew Bible( I have the Bible written in hebrew) says, which is "divine beings" They are also known as Nephilim, which is "fallen ones" or "giants"



Genesis 1 says "We shall make man in OUR image." So who's 'WE' and who's 'OUR'?

how do people go before the throne of God now Avinu? Where was John when he was given Revelations?


I"m insisting to show in the Bible where "sons of God" refer to angelic beings and not to men or Jesus.

If the Hebrew text says "Divine Beings" then why is it translated as sons of God?


And for those who have claimed that angels don't have reproductive organs, how do you know? Have you seen a angel naked, can you show anywhere in the Bible that says they don't have them?
most people infer that from the text where Jesus says people will not be given in marriage in Heaven but will be like the angels. though truthfully the Bible is silent about the reproductive organs of angels as far as I have read.


In the hebrew 'sons of God' is "bene Ha Elohim" which in this perticular usage, pertains to the angels. Which coincides with what the hebrew Bible( I have the Bible written in hebrew) says, which is "divine beings" They are also known as Nephilim, which is "fallen ones" or "giants"
so are the Nephilim the fallen ones or the fallen angels or are you claiming they are the offspring of angels?


Genesis 1 says "We shall make man in OUR image." So who's 'WE' and who's 'OUR'?
We?

Father, Word, Holy Spirit

so Angels are in the image of God or even equal to God as cocreators? where do you get that?

perhaps that is not what you meant, would you care to clarify?
