Thank you for a heartfelt message and I would agree with you like 95%.Hello all.....I realize that some here and many Christians believe that Eve actually had sexual relations with "The Serpent" (Nachash) of Genesis, but Genesis is very specific regarding this.First of all, there are NO passages anywhere in the Bible that state that Eve had intercourse with Satan, "that old Serpent and the Devil".Secondly, specifically here:Genesis 4:1 "And Adam KNEW Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.Genesis 4:2 "And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground."Now this was AFTER they were expelled from the Garden.BOTH Cain AND Abel were the product of the union of Adam and Eve. It says so very plainly.NOTE: "I have gotten a man from the LORD" So to say that she conceived of Satan is to mock God.Next, you don't need to be the literal, physical descendant of Satan to be evil or wicked in this world.The offspring of Cain were evil and wicked because Cain was angry and bitter in his heart, specifically at God. Which he would not let go. This led to murdering his brother. Then his children also became wanderers, murders, thieves, etc. God even asks Cain, "Why are you angry?"Why is this important? Because it is WE who are capable of doing wicked things and we can't blame the Devil on that. It's called "personal responsibility" for our actions.You see, Eve, blamed the Serpent for her sin, and then Adam blamed God for giving him the woman, and NEITHER ONE took responsibility for their actions. This is REAL reason they were expelled from the Garden.Why was Noah "righteous in all of his generations"? Because his family line didn't intermarry with the children of Cain. Why did God forbid this? Because Cain and his offspring were liars, murderers, and thieves. They were wicked by their OWN actions. Plain and simple.Next, the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares is a Parable. What is a parable? It is a SYMBOLIC story used to tell about hidden wisdom. Why did Jesus speak in parables? Because the rest of the world would not understand. "In hearing they do not hear and in seeing they do not see." Why do they not understand? Because they don't want to.Jesus said to the Pharisees, "ye are of your father, the devil. He was liar and a murderer from the beginning and the truth is not in him."Did Jesus mean they were the "literal" children of the devil, or the "spiritually wicked" children of the devil? There IS a difference.The Jewish leaders were the children of God. But they "rejected" Jesus, just as Judah, the son of Jacob said about Joseph, "WE WILL NOT HAVE THIS MAN TO RULE OVER US!"Remember, Jesus said, "is it not written in your law that "ye are gods"?It was the sons of Jacob that sought to kill Joseph, just as they sought to kill Jesus later on. NOT the sons of Cain.There's a parallel between the story of Joseph and the New Testament passages about Jesus.Remember, Jacob said of his son, Joseph, "MY SON YET LIVES!"The time Joseph spent in prison happens to be the same amount of time as the missing years of Jesus.Joseph was a saviour of his people. Joseph was the High Priest, King, Vizier of Egypt. Jesus went to Egypt where it would be said, "OUT OF EGYPT HAVE I CALLED MY SON".Therefore, I DO NOT believe there are "literal, physical" descendants of Satan in this world. Man is evil enough in his own heart without the aid of the Devil.The word "Satan" means "the accuser or adversary". He is the one who accuses us before God as he did with Job.Kim
It is impossible for an angelic spirit to have intercourse with a human. Impossible. They are two different creations. And God would let us know if that was possible. Or maybe we just need to do more Bible study.No you arent listening do you not read the scripture The sons of God that is the nephilim rebelled against God and had children with the daughters of men this is biblical Angels can take the form of men. did not one wrestle with Jacob visit Lot ?this is again biblical this was an abomination to God It was Satan's rebellion to destroy the seed of which Christ would come through. The fallen angels along with their leader Satan did this abdominal thing the result (off spring )was giants they were upon the earth. Do a search on Nephallim on this site or the internet. Here is what the Appendix of the companion Bible says 25. THE NEPHILIM, OR "GIANTS"Of GEN. 6, &c. The progeny of the fallen angels with the daughters of Adam (see notes on Gen. 6, and Ap. 23) are called in Gen. 6, Ne-phil-im, which means fallen ones (from naphal, to fall). What these beings were can be gathered only from Scripture. They were evidently great in size, as well as great in wickedness. They were superhuman, abnormal beings; and their destruction was necessary for the preservation of the human race, and for the faithfulness of Jehovah's Word (Gen. 3:15). This was why the Flood was brought "upon the world of the ungodly" (2Pet. 2:5) as prophesied by Enoch (Jude 14). But we read of the Nephilim again in Num. 13:33 : "there we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, which come of the Nephilim". How, it may be asked, could this be, if they were all destroyed in the Flood? The answer is contained in Gen. 6:4, where we read : "There were Nephilim in the earth in those days (i.e. in the days of Noah); 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 [the] mighty men (Heb. gibbor, the heroes) which were of old, men of renown" (lit. men of the name, i.e. who got a name and were renowned for their ungodliness). So that "after that", i.e. after the Flood, there was a second irruption of these fallen angels, evidently smaller in number and more limited in area, for they were for the most part confined to Canaan, and were in fact known as "the nations of Canaan". It was for the destruction of these, that the sword of Israel was necessary, as the Flood had been before. As to the date of this second irruption, it was evidently soon after it became known that the seed was to come through Abraham; for, when he came out from Haran (Gen. 12:6) and entered Canaan, the significant fact is stated : "The Canaanite was then (i.e. already) in the land." And in Gen. 14:5 they were already known as "Raphain" and Emim", and had established themselves at Asteroth Karnaim and Shaven Kiriathaim. In ch. 15:18-21 they are enumerated and named among Canaanite Peoples : "Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims, and the Amorites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites" (Gen. 15:19-21; cp. Ex. 3:8, 17; 23:23. Deut. 7; 20:17. Josh. 12:8). These were to be cut off, and driven out, and utterly destroyed (Deut. 20:17. Josh. 3:10). But Israel failed in this (Josh. 13:13; 15:63; 16:10; 17:18. Judg. 1:19, 20, 28, 29, 30-36; 2:1-5; 3:1-7); and we known not how many got away to other countries to escape the general destruction. If this were recognized it would go far to solve many problems connected with Anthropology. As to their other names, they were called Anakim, from on Anak which came of the Nephilim (Num. 13:23), and Rephaim, from Rapha, another notable one among them. From Deut. 2:10, they were known by some as Emim, and Horim, and Zamzummim (v. 20, 21) and Avim, &c. As Rephaim they were well known, and are often mentioned : but, unfortunately, instead of this, their proper name, being preserved, it is variously translated as "dead", "deceased", or "giants". These Rephaim are to have no resurrection. This fact is stated in Isa. 26:14 (where the proper name is rendered "deceased," and v. 19, where it is rendered "the dead"). It is rendered "dead" seven times (Job 26:5. Ps. 88:10. Prov. 2:18; 9:18; 21:16. Isa. 14:8; 26:19). It is rendered "deceased" in Isa. 26:14. It is retained as a proper name "Rephaim" ten times (two being in the margin). Gen. 14:5; 15:20. Josh. 12:15 (marg.). 2Sam. 5:18, 22; 23:13.& b31 nbsp; 1Chron. 11:15; 14:9; 20:4 (marg.). Isa. 17:5. In all other places it is rendered "giants", Gen. 6:4; Num. 23:33, where it is Nephilim; and Job 16:14, where it is gibbor (Ap. 14. iv). By reading all these passages the Bible student may know all that can be known about these beings. It is certain that the second irruption took place before Gen. 14, for there the Rephaim were mixed up with the five nations or peoples, which included Sodom and Gomorrha, and were defeated by the four kings under Chedorlaomer. Their principal locality was evidently "Ashtaroth Karnaim"; while the Emim were in the plain of Kiriathaim (Gen. 14:5). Anak was a noted descendant of the Nephilim; and Rapha was another, giving their names respectively to different clans. Anak's father was Arba, the original builder of Hebron (Gen. 35:27. Josh. 15:13; 21:11); and this Palestine branch of the Anakim was not called Arbahim after him, but Anakim after Anak. They were great, mighty, and tall (Deut. 2:10, 11, 21, 22, 23; 9:2), evidently inspiring the ten spies with great fear (Num. 13:33). Og king of Bashan is described in Deut. 3:11. Their strength is seen in "the giant cities of Bashan" to-day; and we know not how far they may have been utilized by Egypt in the construction of buildings, which is still an unsolved problem. Arba was rebuilt by the Khabiri or confederates seven years before Zoan was built by the Egyptian Pharoahs of the nineteenth dynasty. See note on Num. 13:22. If these Nephilim, and their branch of Rephaim, were associated with Egypt, we have an explanation of the problem which has for ages perplexed all engineers, as to how those huge stones and monuments were brought together. Why not in Egypt as well as in "the giant cities of Bashan" which exist, as such, to this day? Moreover, we have in these mighty men, the "men of renown," the explanation of the origin of the Greek mythology. That mythology was no mere invention of the human brain, but it grew out of the traditions, and memories, and legends of the doings of that mighty race of beings; and was gradually evolved out of the "heroes" of Gen. 6:4. The fact that they were supernatural in their origin formed an easy step to their being regarded as the demi-gods of the Greeks. Thus the Babylonian "Creation Tablets", the Egyptian "Book of the dead", the Greek mythology, and heathen Cosmogonies, which by some are set on an equality with Scripture, or by others adduced in support of it, are all the corruption and perversion of primitive truths, distorted in proportion as their origin was forgotten, and their memories faded away.
The sons of God are the sons of God. Why is that so hard to understand? They were Godly men from the line of Seth. Apparently they were not to have relationships with these " daughters of men" that had the genealogy of those giant people.I suggest you read Gen 6: Who do you think the sons of God are?? They are Satan and his fallen angels their off spring were giants as scripture says Fallen Angels mating with daughters of men. Thats exactly what Satan did with Eve.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.Where is the Lord?? Can flesh enter act face to face with God ??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.Anyone who doesnt get Satan is an Angel and he was with the other Angelscheck out out many studies annd proof of this Satan was their leader and if you want out side second source I suggest you read the book of EnochThe Book of Enoch Index | Internet Sacred Text Archive
There's no account of satan had intercourse with any of the women on earth and have offsprings.Hello all.....I realize that some here and many Christians believe that Eve actually had sexual relations with "The Serpent" (Nachash) of Genesis, but Genesis is very specific regarding this.First of all, there are NO passages anywhere in the Bible that state that Eve had intercourse with Satan, "that old Serpent and the Devil".Secondly, specifically here:Genesis 4:1 "And Adam KNEW Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.Genesis 4:2 "And she again bare his brother Abel.
