genesis 6 is a controversial and misunderstood bible verse among believers. Some believers think that The sons of God mentioned in Gen 6 are fallen Angels while others think the verse refers to normal men who descended from the Patriarch Seth. so im making this thread to address Gen 6 and put to bed once and for all just who were the sons of God mentioned in Gen 6... well, ill atleast try and put it to bed lol
Gen 6:2 2the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they took as wives whomever they chose.
i believe that we can use scripture to definitively prove who they are.
it is my contention that the sons of God could not have been men descended from seth but instead had to be extraterrestrial
Because In THE oldest book in the bible, the book of Job, chapter 2 verse 1 we read, 1 Another day, the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD; and Satan also came with them to present himself before The Lord.
And in Job 38 it says, 4Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
7When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
The book of Job teaches that the Sons of God were there when the foundations of the earth were made meaning that they could not be ordinary men. if they were the question posed to Job would lose its meaning.
But what about verses like Romans 8:14 that says, For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. ?
This is referring to Believers under the NEW covenant and under christ not OT patriarchs who did not accept him. and we can prove this with scripture. in fact just 5 verse down from romans 8:14 in verse 19 we read
KJV For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
Berean Study Bible19The creation waits in eager expectation for the revelation of the sons of God.
The sons of God have yet to be made manifest. they are adopted sons under the new covenant through the resurrection as we read in Luke 20:36
36In fact, they can no longer die, because they are like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection, they are sons of God.
BECAUSE they are sons of the resurrection they are sons of God.
Galatians 2:26You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
If one becomes a son of God through faith in christ jesus then the SONS of God mentioned in Gen 6 can not be men, as this was long before anyone had heard or even thought of christ jesus.
john 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name
9Blessed are the peacemakers, for they WILL be called sons of God.
"will" is FUTURE tense meaning something that WILL occur but has yet to.
1 John 3:2Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed.
1 Corinthians 15:51Listen, I tell you a mystery: we will all be changed 52in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raisedimperishable, and we will be changed.
which lines up perfectly with luke 20:36In fact, they can no longer die, because they are like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection, they are sons of God.
Isaiah 28:10 precept upon precept, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
Ephesians 1:5He predestined us for ADOPTION as His sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of His will,
