if nimrod were here today and wanted to build a portal to another dimension with modern day technology, wonder how he would go about doing it?
and of all the statues they could have put out front of CERN, they picked Shiva, the goddess of destruction. wonder what made them think of that?
 
Well , the main question after 2 years really researching it, whats wrong with the people who work there, i mean even just basing on science reason, u could destroy a planet , tho i think its going to be a lil worse than just being sucked up a black hole, they built on ancient apollonion grounds, look at name

Angels are not children of God, humans are the children of God. If you look in the genealogy it says "...and Seth the son of Adam, and Adam the son of God." Now there are righteous humans (God's people) and unrighteous humans (people that God has disowned because of their wicked hearts). Both these groups of people sin, but only the righteous are forgiven.

So it makes sense that the sons of God did come from Seth- because his genealogy leads to Christ. So when God's people, the righteous, started inter-marring with the unrighteous, that created a BIG problem- for God says "What fellowship can light have with darkness? How can the righteous be one with the unrighteous."

Sooo, since things were done physically in the Old Testament, God had to show this was a big problem in a physical way- therefore, the offspring got so big that normal sized people were literally the size of grasshoppers in comparison (glad I don't have to change their baby's diapers!) lol.

Hello PurerInHeart,

Actually, angels are referred to as "the son's of God," as can be seen in the following:

"Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them."

"Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose."

That would also shed some more light to such strict orders to Israel to kill some palestinian tribes to the last one.

It could be an explanation in some cases, but on at least one occasion God told the Israelites to wipe out everyone including their livestock but keep the women for themselves. I wont go into the ethical implications here in case I
upset someone.

Perhaps because it involved smashing Atoms.

Goliath is a son of them

Whenever we see these giants show up in Scripture, as in Goliath and his sons, they are connected with destroying the "promised seed" of Genesis 3:15. That was their whole purpose in Genesis 6, to corrupt man's seed. Genesis 5 gives us the seed line that was not corrupted by the sons of God. Noah and his sons were in that line and that's why they were saved.

A "son of God" is any being that was created by God. The angels, cheribums and seraphims are sons of God. Lucifer was a son of God. Adam was a son of God.

Men are not sons of God unless we are born again and made a new creature in Christ. Then we are spiritual sons of God.

Do a word search on the phrase 'sons of God' and see who the subject is in each of the scripture references you find.

I've done that. Genesis 6, Job, Daniel and in the NT where man has a right to be a son of God through the new birth. Jesus Christ as the Son of God. Luke 3 states that Adam was a son of God. What am I missing?

It is interesting that the "sons of God" is always a reference to man with one possible exception yet, when we come to Gen 6 we suddenly want to make "sons of God" = angels.

Not in Job or Daniel or Genesis 6. Those references can't be men. The only reference of man being a son of God is Adam and through the new birth.

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

The sons of God here is a reference to all created beings, angels, cheribums(even Lucifer), etc. at the creation of the universe.

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."

How can man present themselves before God? It's not possible for no one has seen God and lives and this is not some spiritual reference to a sacrifice. I take this literally. Satan literally came up before God to accuse man of turning against God.

Agreed! One of the clues that "the son's of God" was not speaking about men is that, it states "and Satan also came with them," which would infer that the son's of God as well as Satan were literally in God's presence.
