I think it may be somehow connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the study Bible is taking an educated guess but not really sure either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an vision of angels watching and wrote all about it here on worthy at one time. That maybe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will always be some points difficult to understand. Some people say that we should just go on reading and praying and if our Lord decides to make it clear it will be made clear some day. I do not say that I am not thinking while I read the Bible but I try to avoid "scientific analysis" which is not applied here anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Womens hair was one of the major things that caused the angels in Genesis chapter six to leave their place in the scheme of things and take them for wives and had children. They should cover their heads or cut their hair so as not to tempt the angels. And that's a gospel according to Sam from a lot of different sources so long ago I don't remember them all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I think so. But it may also bear other meanings, which I can't tell. 2 Peter 3:15-16 Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, it made me think about Genesis 6 where "sons of God" married women. So I went and googled it and found the following information which clarified things for me a bit: Some maintain that these verses assert that angels married women before the Flood and engendered a race of giants. This idea sounds like the sub-plot of a science fiction story! But can it be the truth? It is true that verse 2 states that the "sons of God . . . took wives for themselves of all whom they chose." These "sons of God," however, were not angels. The fact is that angels do not marry. Jesus tells us this clearly: "For in the resurrection they [humans] neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven" (Matthew 22:30; see Mark 12:25). Angels cannot cohabit nor reproduce with women. Angels are spirit beings (Hebrews 1:13-14). Women are human beings. Angels and women, then, are two different kinds of being. Kind reproduces after kind, and different species cannot breed. In his modern, perverted science'"falsely called knowledge" (I Timothy 6:20)'Satan encourages men to experiment with the crossing and mixing of the most unlikely creatures. For example, goats have been genetically altered by the insertion of a spider gene to produce silk products that God never intended in His original design. Right from the beginning, at the re-creation of the world (Psalm 104:30), God says that this is not to be. He establishes a strict law that each kind must reproduce only after its own kind (Genesis 1:11-12, 21, 24-25). This rule is also backed up and made clear by the context of our difficult scripture. In Genesis 6:3, God says, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh." He is speaking of fleshly mankind here, not angels. Although it is true that the children of these couples were "mighty," like their parents, they were still only human. It is true that angels are sometimes called "sons of God" (Job 1:6; 38:7). Remember, though, that angels "neither marry, nor are given in marriage."

No where is a human (other than Adam) described or referred to as "sons of God" until Jesus was born, died and raised so that we could be born spiritually. Only those who are saved can be referred to as sons of God. Jesus and Adam are the only two humans who are physically sons of God. Practically every civilization with recorded or oral history describes beings from beyond coming to our little planett and having children with humans. It is not just in the Bible. Mayans, Aztecs, Native Americans, Sumerians, Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, Chinese and others tell of the same happenings. The Bible is not written for us to get an indepth description of Lucifer and his dark side of human history, so it's only slightly mentioned in our Bible. It's written for us to know our Lord, not theirs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
