That's just the biggest load of malarky, probably one of the biggest bunches of baloney I've read here in a long time! For those interested in the real Truth in God's Word about the "sons of God" meaning, there's ample evidence that it IS ULTIMATELY POINTING TO THE ANGELIC STATE... I Jn 3:2 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. (KJV) Now those who have believed on Christ Jesus are known as "sons of God", but it does not yet appear what we shall be? And when Christ does appear again, we shall be like Him, and see Him as He really is? Just WHAT KIND OF BODY is that when we shall be like Him, and see Him as He is? That is about the FUTURE CHANGE AT THE RESURRECTION. We are NOW only CALLED "sons of God" to point to that FUTURE REDEMPTION! It is not a label connected with our flesh body state today, but our FUTURE RESURRECTION state! Just WHAT FUTURE STATE IS THAT? Our Lord Jesus told us right here... Matt 22:30 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. (KJV) Those of the Resurrection are as the angels of God in heaven! Did anyone miss that besides Mr. Insight? That future state is what the "sons of God" label for Christ's servants represents, our FUTURE REDEMPTION BY CHRIST, not some imperfect flesh state like this present world! More Biblical proof, this time from Apostle Paul... Rom 8:18-19 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. (KJV) If WE in Christ Jesus are ALREADY "sons of God" today, then WHY did Paul say such a thing as that above about even God's creation ("creature" per the Greek) waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God? It's because for those in Christ Jesus, that "sons of God" label is about the promised future Resurrection state, not our flesh state of today! There's a major difference, because as of right now, we only have the Promise of that future redemption. It has NOT come yet today. But when it does, THAT is when that "sons of God" label will manifest IN FULL PER CHRIST'S KINGDOM! Have any of you been "glorified" with Christ yet today brethren, to a glorified body like our Lord's? What part of you is that about that's glorified with Christ? Paul reveals it... Rom 8:14-17 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together. (KJV) The Holy Spirit working is towards our 'spirit', not to our flesh bodies. It's our spirit by the Spirit of adoption that cries "Abba, Father", not our flesh! Those above Scriptures are about the application of the "sons of God" label to the future redemption at Christ's second coming, when those yet alive on earth will be changed at the twinkling of an eye to their "spiritual body" per 1 Cor.15. It's the state Jesus said the resurrection is, "as the angels of God in heaven"! So, the "sons of God" phrase IS ABOUT THE ANGELIC STATE AFTERALL? Yes, it is, as written in God's Word! But what's the DIFFERENCE with those "sons of God" back in Job and Genesis 6??? Job 38:4-7 4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. 5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? 6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; 7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? (KJV) That reference to the "sons of God" right there in Job 38 CANNOT APPLY TO ANY MAN IN THE FLESH. It's about the angels that were with God when He first laid the foundations of the earth. That is yet ANOTHER BIBLICAL PROOF that the "sons of God" phrase is indeed about the angelic state! Those Scriptures prove Insight is wrong when he tries to declare the "sons of God" phrase to mean 'flesh men'! He has obviously been listening to another spirit, and not to The Holy Spirit within God's Word.
Veteran,
All your preamble did was prove that the phrase "son of God" is used of men and women who are held in a priveldge position (convenenat relationship). It is clear that you desire to squeeze your fallen angel doctrine into Gen 6, which by the way is not mentioned below, at all!!!
Genesis 6
[sup]1[/sup]And it came to pass, when
men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
[sup]2[/sup]That the
sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
[sup]3[/sup]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.
[sup]4[/sup]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.
[sup]5[/sup]And God saw that the wickedness of
man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
[sup]6[/sup]And it repented the LORD that he had made
man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
[sup]7[/sup]And the LORD said, I will destroy
man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
[sup]8[/sup]But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
[sup]9[/sup]These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a
just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
[sup]10[/sup]And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
[sup]11[/sup]The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
[sup]12[/sup]And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
[sup]13[/sup]And God said unto Noah, The end of
all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
[sup]14[/sup]Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
[sup]15[/sup]And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
[sup]16[/sup]A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
[sup]17[/sup]And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to
destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
[sup]18[/sup]But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
[sup]19[/sup]And of every living
thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
[sup]20[/sup]Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
[sup]21[/sup]And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
[sup]22[/sup]Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
Not one mention of Angels...not even inferred!
Fourteen references to man, flesh & children.
Veteran, my doctrine is very safe from your flawed understanding and very dark sayings.
Fancy quoting Job 38:4-7 which is about the Heavenly work of creation; only to have the audacity to make an ignorant jump of logic back to Gen 6 which is speaking to Gods view of Mankind and their sinfulness
Pray, read, study and meditate and come to know truth..not lies.
