In the bible version, satan, a son of God, wanted to overthrow the Father,"<br />Why are the angels called the sons of God, if Jesus is supposed to be God's only begotten son? I have heard that some people believe that satan and Jesus are brothers. Can you please elaborate on this?

It was another step in Satan's plan to stop the coming Messiah, this time by trying to pollute the human gene pool. Noah is "perfect in his generations", meaning he was genetically clean. Whether his wife, and therefore his son's were is presumed but unknown. His son's wives line is also unknown, but it may (or may not) explain the presence of the likes of Goliath and his brothers post-flood as well as the many giant related stories all over the world.<br />Something so many of us have struggled with is why God ordered the annihilation of some groups of people - were they genetic remnants of that tainted seed, no longer human?<br /><br />There are some good works out there (Ken Johnson, Bodie Hodge) that discuss the ancestral lines of the of Noah's sons and how they may relate to the mythical gods of the various cultures of the world. <br />While the fallen angels were locked in Tartarus their offspring were not. Some say that the departed souls of those 'mighty men of renown' killed in the flood are the demons that infest the world now. Interesting theory, no idea if there's any truth in it.<br />All truth, however, is in Scripture and it can be both bewildering and disheartening to see a world that reaches to so many strange places and ideas for explanations. <br />Most seminaries teach that this verse is talking about the 'sons of God' being sons of Seth and the 'daughters of men' being daughters of Cain. The Hebrew term translated as 'sons of God' is everywhere else correctly translated as angels. Also, the line of Seth is very human and no more pure than any other not to mention that it doesn't explain the freaks of nature that were produced.<br />My how I've rambled.<br />Thank you for your continued vigilance Elizabeth and not being afraid to tackle the tough topics.<br />DwightAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-84843356047785094502013-12-10T17:55:35.610-05:002013-12-10T17:55:35.610-05:00Well said.

I have the same thoughts about the truth in the Bible in Gen 6 (straightforward as you explained), and the connection to the greek and roman mythical gods. <br /><br />2 Thess 2 is another good passage when thinking on those who refuse to love the truth.<br /><br />-CarolynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-86775634291692269202013-12-10T10:20:53.142-05:002013-12-10T10:20:53.142-05:00Well done.
