I just can't believe it, Christian don't kow what or who the sons of God is.
1 John 3:1 "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us,
that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not."1
John 3:2 "Beloved,
now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."
but what about the sons of God in the OT? lets get Job first and then get Genesis 6.
Job 1:1 "There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man
was perfect and upright, and
one that feared God, and eschewed evil."
Job 1:2 "And there were born unto him
seven sons and three daughters."
Job 1:3 "His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the
men of the east."
first thing, Job was keeping the feast days. and also Job is clearly defined as a "son of God. verse three, "MEN" here is the Hebrew word,
H1121 בֵּן ben (bane) n-m.
בָּנִים baniym (ba-neem') [plural]
בְּנִי bniy (ben-ee') [possessive singular]
בָּנַי banay (baw-nah'ee) [possessive plural]
(used widely)
a son (as a builder of the family name).
{in the widest sense of literal and figurative relationship, including grandson, subject, nation, quality or condition, etc., (like H1 H251, etc.).}
[from H1129]
what! "a son", now where have we seen this definition at before? well lets check the record. Genesis 6:1 "And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,"
Genesis 6:2 "That the
sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose." BINGO.
well I guess Job was an angel also.... (smile). NO, Job was a HUMAN. and Job in 1:3 is callede a H1121 בֵּן ben, or "son" in reference to God.
he was called a H376 אִישׁ 'iysh (eesh) a man as an individual or a male person. so in verse three, he was HUMAN.
so all this nonsense about angels are sons, NOT HERE, get that nonsense out of your mouth, heart, and mind. Read your bibles with the HOLY Spirit.
so the "sons of God" in Genesis chapter 6 are human men who came from the unfallen line of Adam and Eve. but is now corrupted with sin also. why, for sin came upon all men because of Adam. yes including the Good, the bad and the ugly ...
and two terms one need to know.
A. Sons of God, and B. Daughters of men. it means only a son had the Spirit of God, and a daughter didn't. that's all. as with today, a christian, "son", (save), marrying a "daughter", (unsave) . the terms "sons", and "daughters", are just a metaphor use here to describe a type of person.
but the point is made, JOB is a son in reference to God, hence he is called a "son" of God in Job 1:3.
so that angel theory as sons of God, is just that .... a theory.
