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.)
