Genesis Chapter 6 Discussion Page 18

i am still doing research about Genesis6:1-4,but i don't believe that it was angels that came from heaven and get marriege,cause the angels can't have sex! ok,if they did it,are they still sons of God? and why the writer used the word "sons of God and yet we have in mind that those were rebelious angels?

To reply to Jason about Gen.6:2. I would say I did not believe that angels could transform themselves to procreate with women, but now I do. I found that Gen.3:15 indicates that the serpent (later to be revealed as Satan), had seed (DNA). I found that interesting considering that the beast of Revelation is some kind of genetic being brought about by Satan. We know that Satan can transform himself into an angel of light. God himself is doing the talking in Gen.3:15 when he said to the serpent "thy seed". So I don't see heresy in this teaching. The first 4 letters of Genesis is where we get the word genetics which in our day has a lot to do with DNA. I also would agree with Sprig's comment about verse 2 on 9/17/2013, 1:08pm...

Noah set an excellent example in obedience to Jehovah God. Even though he was given a new task and instructions that he may not have understood fully, he showed complete faith and trust in God. God's thoughts and ways are higher than our thoughts and ways and so some of the things that God may command us we will not fully understand. If we want to have God's blessing we must fully trust in Him and obey his commandments.

to jason, Jesus drove out devils,unclean spirits,they are as different to the sons of God,as the sun to the moon,the sons of God were a high ranking angelic order of watchers,they are currently in chains in the outer darkness to be released in the last days,devils and familiar spirits are the disembodied spirits of the giants,who need to posses a man to have any peace,they are like spiritual parasites that feed of off lower emotions and sin,again if you would just read the plain text in jude and 2peter you would know where the fallen sons of God are,we enter the promised land of heaven as the redeemed sons of God,by the blood of Jesus,taking the fallen sons of Gods place,everything in the O.T is an an earthly shadow and type of whats to come

to jason, the bible clearly teaches the sons of God were angelic beings, read job,jude,2peter, they left there first estate,heaven,and went after strange flesh,folly,angels naturally dont have sex,but these chose to do so against nature,in the book of job the sons of God appear before God with satan,its heresy to believe the sons of seth theory as its not in the bible,along with evey other civilisation recording celestial beings coming down and mating with women,just read the bible n believe what it says not what you want it to say

I fell into this trap by thinking it was the angels that slept with women, it was there in my face, i argued with people cause i was so convinced that i was right and that angels did have sex, but then i actually started to study and look it up for myself, with prayer and study, God has shown me that angels having sex is a false doctrine, theres loads of scripture that will prove this doctrine wrong. when Jesus drove out demons, does the bible say He drove out Sons of God..nope. It is heresey!! Seek and you will find.

I am deeply stirred at the thought of Almighty God, Creator of everything, being grieved in His heart (as only a Lover can be). How grieved, then, must He be today; with every part of the world filled, again, with ever-increasing violence. I can only say, Come, Lord Jesus! Come quickly!

There are two arguments here. Seth and cain's kids v.s. angels and man's kids. For those who have chose a view i entreat you to ignore your opinion and read the verse in genesis, then fully study out the view point of the one you DO NOT believe. Read every pro-argument against your standing on the subject then and only then compare your original belief. By then regardless of your original standing you will be an expert in both views as well as obtaining the blaring truth of which actually took place...christ said the truth will set you free. Enjoy:)

Only the earthly creatures were created as male and female, not the angels. Devils are fallen "angels" who were neither male nor female in the worldly sense. Therefore neither the angels in heaven nor the fallen angels have any sex interests. Moreover, the rebellious angels can never be called "sons of God". The men of Sodom and Gomorrah wanted to have "sex" with the angels who visited Lot, not because the angels desired so, but those brutish men thought that they were real men. So the only rational explanation is that the lineage of Seth was described here as the "sons of God" that of Cain as the "daughters of men".

This shows the greatness of GOD. And that we should repent our sins

I believe the fallen angels were examples of greak mythologey gods, as sons of god pridefull and rebellious hateing man already and taking advantage of the powers and strentgh of angles that are 9 feet tall

BUT in Numbers 23:19 It says .

"God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent:"

It seems like a Discrepancy ?

It's good!! It helps sooooo much

Brent 1 Cor. 15:39-40 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
St. Luke 13:30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.
St. Mark 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

Gen 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. Gen 6:4 (when the sons of God) Adam (came in unto the daughters of men) whom God had created on the sixth day of eternity Gen 6:7 (for it repenteth me that I have made them.) 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. Gen 6:12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. Main articles: Captain goes down with the ship and Sinking of the RMS Titanic. Remember this captain smith (titanic) issued a public challenge to God and over 1,500 people lost their lives. Of Corse there’s a perfectly good explanation for how it happened. Gods work is real, no magic; but magical Miracles do happen; but if you want to spend your days explaining how. Jesus spoke of that place prepared for you. St. Matt 24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. But don’t take God away from your children. Gen 6:22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

In answer to the questions about Genesis 6:17..and what about fish in the arc, the answer is in the text! " destroy all flesh wherein is the breath of life: from under heaven and everything that is in the Earth... Fish and underwater creatures would not be described as having BREATH of life?..and in the EARTH may be referring to dry land....

@Ronald Allen, . (regards to Jubilees), . I get 7000 years from the birth of Adam till judgement (by a different route I think) but it seems (since prophecy is foggy anyway) , That in the way I get there, we are in the last 1000 years, we are that generation.

I really would like to know the correct translation to the two separate ideals of "also is flesh", and or "man is flesh" . .

The Bible does not elaborate. However, if you ever saw some fishermen's boats, they have live wells. I think there is reason to believe that God did not require ALL water creatures in the ark. Even so, some may not have been adult animals yet, which would allow them to be smaller and easier to manage. Don't worry - God knew what He was doing!

So were there fish tanks on the ark? I don't see how salt water and fresh water fish could both survive otherwise. And if that's a miracle why not just have all animals survive miraculously?

The Daughters of Seth ( the Godly line ) married the sons of Cain ( ungodly ) and produced children who were raised in an ungodly manner.

Who fathered these daughters?

(the lord said my spirit will not always strive with man)I've been fortunate enough to have the presence of the spirit of god in me for many months and then not. what its means to me in my life is that god is showing me or reminding me that he's the light, not me

the light, not me

its curious that some of the fish of the sea uses Breath) oxygen to survive. And yet He only destroyed those creatures that could not survive in water. Verse 17

there shall be a time of trauble in the last days but God will stand wth all those who shall fear him unto the end of time.

Since God is full of grace and mercy, he has lots of patience with mankind. He doesn't always send his wrath upon disobedience right way. He gives mankind time to repent. But eventually God says enough is enough.

This is in response to 9/06/2013, 5:40pm - Comment by "Ben" about Genesis Chapter 6: All flesh must be destroyed with the earth because God have seen that they corrupted their ways upon the earth. But it doesn't mean that animals are corrupt too. In fact, God instructed Noah to save each kind of them by pairs. But since all human being should be destroyed therefore other things upon the face of the earth would be affected in that process. Except those that God had chosen to save with Noah who was found grace in God's sight.

By "all flesh" does this include the animals as well? How could animals be corrupt?

Given careful consideration, the first few verses of Genesis 6 are among the most disturbing verses to be found. It's enough to rock your whole process for a moment. What happens here affects you directly and personally to this very day.

there has been controversy about the offsprings of the marriage between sons of god and daughters of men. People concluded too soon that the offsprings were giants. This is misinterpretation. According to gen.6 there were giants in those days and the offsprings were mighty men. Might is not measurable through muscles. An intelligent man can also be regarded as mighty. Therefore,these mighty men were those whose wisdom was like that of god. They had the intellectual capability to unravel mysteries. They were the great thinkers of old,and not necessarily giants.
