    Annotated Gen.6.2 Sons of God"

    "That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose"

    The sons of God are created and God makes angels spirits so we may say with certainty that they are sons as we are;. What the Spirit has chosen not to dilate upon we shall pass in silence. The Holy Spirit dealt with Virgin Mary "and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God."(Lk.1.35) By the same token angels that did not keep their first state,'the wandering stars' were partly to blame for moral corruption. Apostle John warns us,"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world."( 1 Jn 4.1). The spirit of of heresy is called the spirit of antichrist, of which the apostle warns having 'come; and even now already is it in the world.

    v.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."

    Celebrity culture is a sure characteristic of the days. Then as now. Such thirst for glory as a myth created Jason and the Argonauts in search of the golden fleece for the pagan world and at the age of exploration would lead to overrun the Americas for greed,glory and God. Do the vagabonds of the sons of Cain and their depredations over the first nations please God? Greed and glory becomes byword of individualism, heresy of false prophets call it manifest destiny. Satan created a strong delusions for the contemporaries of Noah.

    v.8 "But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord."

    The result of mixing of light with darkness was a slow stain of contagion and Jesus Christ was manifest to destroy the works of the devil.

    Problem seem to arise from the so called 'believers' reading and forgetting the intent of the Spirit. It is for our instruction in righteousness. For example, the Spirit says Noah was righteous. So God let the great flood on the earth, 'n the six hundredth year of Noah's life,'. For a diligent reader the significance of the number will not be lost. The Covenant enjoins 'entering into the God's rest on the day Seven. The more I have delved into the Bible I stand amazed at the inerracy of the word of God.

    Heresy is wanting to believe at my terms, and you see its consequences,

    Never is an angel fallen or not called " sons of God".

    It is about time that particular red herring was put in the bin .

    The Lord is soon to come and people can waste their time debating none debatable issues but if you indulge in such folly you may well miss the boat .
