equal with angels is not the same as angels
i agree, angel is one specific class of sons of the Most High

first off God was very Clear HE was making man and women after there own Kind .
Gen 1:21

And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

24
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind (species):: and it was so.



Gen 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet (succour) for him.

GOd made for Adam what was for Adam. And in context to the Creation of God everything was made after it's Kind
meaning
succour.
i think there was a change in Adam.

Gen 1 27
27
So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God
he created him;
male and female he created them.


his creation, in the image of the Most High.

Gen 5 3
When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth.

Adams creation, in the image of Adam.

and Adams offspring took place after the fall.

22 Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever—

Adam didnt have mortality until he was expelled from the garden. not the same as mankind who is very mortal.

The word 'god' also indicates that "One who reigns" We have dominion in the Earth We are to reign in the Earth...So in that sense, we are gods...Especially since our Father is God. Selah

please take note of the little "g" also means lord in the new testament = ruler ever noticed where the English spoke to nobles and said "my lord" it is the a positional statement not a literal. think about it God said I am God and there is No other. why would HE then n make us gods ? the context is important this is the same thinking of the WOF which is error we are not gods in the context of relationship with angels and I mean sexual relationships with angels. Authority we have been given BY God acting on HIS behalf .

Let me answer it this way...God adopted you right? Ok...Your Earthly father is human right? Your mother too, I assume. That would make you human too? I thought so....If God is god, Jesus is God and you are adopted so that God is your father....You are as god too. Let's see....You are a three part being You have the same creative abilities, you have exactly the same authorities that Jesus has. You have dominion in the Earth..and you are to reign here....Yup. You're a god

I have proven this over and over to be angels, but the problem is that you and others don't have understanding nor will you admit to it.

"When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. "

"
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.."

In both scriptures above, there is a grammatical distinction made between "man" and "the sons of God," which you refuse to acknowledge. Ergo, the sons of God that take wives from the daughters of mankind are not humans. I have also proven to you that "the sons of God" who appear with Satan in Job are also angels, but you don't comprehend that either. So far you have proven nothing regarding this issue!

"
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them. the LORD said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Satan answered the LORD and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it." - Job 1:6

"
Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them to present himself before the LORD. And the LORD said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Satan answered the LORD and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it.” - Job 2:1-2

In the two scriptures above, the sons of God are shown to be angels, utilizing the same designation as in Gen.6:1,4. These sons of God who are appearing before the Lord are not men as some have attempted to claim. That Satan appears with them demonstrates that the sons of God are angels. Ergo the sons of God and Satan are of the same genre, i.e. angelic beings.

Furthermore, God asks Satan where he has come from and Satan says "
From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it," which would demonstrate that where Satan and the sons of God are appearing before God is in the heavenly realms and not on earth, which would also disprove the idea of the sons of God as referring to men.

Then there is Enoch's detailed account of this entire event regarding the angels, the sons of heaven, of whom Jude quoted from. Now since Jude quotes from Enoch, then the prophesies of Enoch should be considered valid, that and the fact that the prophesies of Enoch was apart of the scriptures up until the 3rd century. You can't recognize that Jude quoted from Enoch and then throw out the rest of the information that is contained within Enoch's prophesies regarding the angels who took wives from the progeny of men.


Plain as day.....hey

Just to throw in a few points to ponder...most fail to acknowlede the following...

a. There is a heavenly, celestial form and a fallen, earthly form....
b. Angels traditionally took a form SIMILAR TO MAN AND ARE ALL MASCULINE when on the EARTH
c. The men of SODOM wanted to rape and have sex with the angels who were in the form of men.
d. Jude's application of STRANGE FLESH IS APPLIED UNTO THE MEN OF SODOM going after strange flesh which indicates something other than human flesh
e. Which is more fanciful....a saved man having sex with a lost woman producing races of Giants or fallen angels in the form of men having sex with the daughters of Adam and producing races of Giants.....

If the former is the case then giants should be all over the earth right now as we speak....men of war 12 feet plus tall and some as tall as the cedars.....

Just points to ponder!

If you want a good explanation of this topic then read the book Unseen Realm by Dr. Michael Heiser. He is an academic and language scholar in biblical studies and ANE cultures. He explains it the best with lots of textual evidence you wont get from a preacher/pastor on Sunday.

Son's of God here is talking about the watchers who came down and made children with women of mankind. Enoch was a prophet sent in that day to show Gods judgment. As such the book of Enoch is a good book to look into this subject further.

most mainstream Christians today dont accept Enoch as scripture. some groups might but most of the groups today do not. its interesting when looking at the different groups in the days of Jesus and the 12. the pharisees, the ones Jesus and John call sons of the devil, they did not accept Enoch. the Essenes of Qumran, who had theology that closely mirrored Jesus, and who John and James were most likely part of, they accepted Enoch as scripture.

Yes that's true. Christians, also known as the Ostrich people, like to live with their heads in the sand.

Hello JohnTalmid,

I totally agree with you. I have my own copy of Ethiopic Enoch and it sheds much light on what Genesis 6:1-4 barely touches on, including the corruption caused by the angels, the sons of heaven and why the flood took place. It also mentions Noah and the flood itself. The prophesies of Enoch was itself apart of the scriptures up to the 3rd century. Those who dismiss it as not being God-breathed miss out on a lot of detailed information regarding the events related to the angels, the sons of God who took for themselves wives.

what are you going on about?
I'm not going on about anything..I just made an observation about how we Christians in general will not acknowledge many things that are right in front of our noses..We love to keep our heads buried in the sand..as in...."Ignore it! It'll go away."
Real, honest to goodness giants exist today. By the thousands..The US marines killed one in Afghanistan in 2002. It had killed one of the men. In the Solomon islands during WW2 Japanese and American soldiers both, got eaten by giants...I know, "Its not true because the government denies it" On Gaudalcanal there is a city full of giants who stand around 20 feet tall..Actually two types of giants..But all of this is only conspiracy theory. So designated by the Ostrich People.

Yes it is that no one will take the contextual challenge, because it can not be done. I notice none of you guys that talk book of enoch and the such. Will not go from Genesis 4:11-6:1 explain how they are. Then show from that context how Genesis 6:2, 4 are fallen angels in that context. It's not a trick question, it's simple hermeneutics.
