Sons of God not Sons of Men


Sons of God not Sons of Men


 

Gal. 4:6-9, 19 Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir. Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods. But now that you know God – or rather are known by God, which is to say Christ is formed in you – you are a son.

(Son in this case is like the word Man in Genesis 1:27, there is no distinction of gender, male and female alike God created them a son in Christ.) 

Romans 8:13, 14 . . . if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

18 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

Gal. 3:26-28 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 4:9 . . . born by the power of the Spirit.

Heb. 2:11 Both the one who makes men holy and those who are made holy are of the same family.

See Rev.14:1-5

Obviously there is a distinction between the sons of God and the sons of men.

2Cor. 6:14-18 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial?  What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.” “Therefore come out from them and be separate, touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” “I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”

 

Consider marriage in the light of what it means to be Immortal, a son of God, the perfect match could only be with another immortal. Now recalling Gen. 6:2-4 I realized that the Sons of God became mortal/corrupt by taking daughters of men as wives instead of their own kind, which would have been daughters of God. (It would be the same if the daughters of God were given in marriage to sons of men) They would be unequally yoked in either case, or corrupted/mortal, no longer children of the Immortal God.

See Gen. 6:1-6, and

Deut. 32:5, 6, 19 They have acted corruptly toward him; to their shame they are no longer his children, but a warped and crooked generation. Is this the way you repay the Lord, O foolish and unwise people? Is he not your Father, your Creator, who made you and formed you?
The Lord saw this and rejected them because he was angered by his sons and daughters. (That is the warped and crooked generations of them.)
