Jesus tells us that angels don't marry Matt 22:30. The arguement is, but fallen onse that don't respect that can. Which is man's opinion. Not in the the bible. Where does it say that animals don't live forever after they die? It doesn't. But just because it does not say that does not make it true that they will.
Genesis 1:25 God made the beasts of the earth according to their kind, the livestock according to their kind, and everything that crawls upon the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Does that mean "according to their kind" or "made them" that they cannot mate with other species? No it does not say that. But we see from general revelation they don't. So general revelation tells us it means in part they mate and produce their own kind. If that is how God created and there is no example of angels marrying (other than our seeing the verse Gen 6 in question) it is biblically "clear" that God's creation produces its kind. Angels being much further away than species. And further, God tells us in His special revelation that general revelvation testifies to His character.
Romans 1:20
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
And I will put hostility between you and between the woman, and between your offspring and between her offspring; he will strike you
on the head, and you will strike him
on the heel.”
God showed us in creation that he places barriers of species not to mate. I would imagine that would be an even greater divide with ontologically different creatures (far beyond a different species). So yeah, i'd say Gen 1 and Romans 1 plainly tells us this Goodboy.
John 1:12 is a fine verse. It means we are new creations in Him. What is your understanding of Psalm 82:6? Are those angels? Do angels die? Are angels on probation? They are mere men because they die like mere men. These in Psalm 82:6 show us that sons of God don't have to be holy in Old Testament use, but seem to charactorize special authority over others (leaders, judges, nobles). In new testament, yes. It is godly according the Christ likeness. In the old testament they can be oppressors. Because Psalm 82:6 were. So what seems to be the use in Gen 6?
So Psalm 82 gives us license to see that Sons of God in Gen 6 are mere men. Strong ones. But men. And apparently not very godly ones (although it would appear to be from the line of Seth--i will touch on that in a moment).
To me brother, the bible makes it very very clear why He would call them sons of God:
The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled.(Gen 6:6). Right there in the context. He did not say he was sorry about making angels which would be the violators. Since God provides us His word Gen 6:6 to guide us, "sons of God" would likely mean this in that context:
God: "These [relatively] new creation of mine, men. These sons of my creation. These male creations of mine after my own image, inheritors of my image, these men i have created in leadership capacity with mighty gifting, and in the line of His seed to strike Satan's head, lust after women. Their hearts are turned towards their lust."
In that sense "sons of God" depicts not so much their godliness, but the godly line. It could be said that to make Gen 6:2 angels corrupts Gen 3:15:
And I will put hostility between you and between the woman, and between your offspring and between her offspring; he will strike you
on the head, and you will strike him
on the heel.”
To make "sons of God" angels suggests the lineage (even though clearly stated in Gen 3:15) is not as important as seeing angels falling and mating with humanity. Having a godly lineage in mind would set this group of men grouping above "your seed," as "His seed." The lineage through which Christ comes. Even those distinguished for the linease, "these very sons of mine" lust after women.
They were killed because they changed the gene pool? It says God was upset because of this: Gen 6:5:
5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of mankind was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of [
f]their hearts was only evil continually.
Now if the reason why God flooded the earth was because of fallen angel dna changed, that would have been the place to say it. But the bible very "clearly" says in very obvious plain sense fashion that God wiped them out because of their evil thoughts...like...lusting after women.
Lust may not seem that big a deal these days as porn is piped throughout the planet 24/7. But in early civilization that was cultivating, God's creation lusting after women all over the place would in theory be kind of a new thing. So it looks like God is pointing out Himself watching the fruit of the fall play out...and describing it from His heart and lineage sense. We could ask this qustion: Which is more a theme throughout scripture plainly: Lineage, or fallen angel residue? If you ask a man Heiser, he would tell you both. But to the common man and woman it is clearly the lineage BY A BILLION CONTRAST MAGNITUDE. And we look at Gen 6 and say, "Nah...can't be that. Must be more exotic...must be fallen angels." I think it is much more soberly in line with God rolling out Gen 3:15 concern and focus. From how God is telling the story, that would be its plain sense though, i believe.
If we look at Gen 4 we see Lamach's boastful heart. Boasting he will do more evil than Cain. In Genesis 5, do you know what funny term that is all about leading up to Gen 6? Lineage. Gen 4:23, 24 = Lamach's poem. Gen 4:25-26, lineage of Seth. So Gen 5 is just a lineage bridge. Gen 6 seems to pick up narrative from the end of Gen 4, with a lineage (chapter 5) interrupt. The ones marrying in Gen 4 were not angels but men. The context of Gen 6 uses marriage. Which in context would cement the sons of God to being men, contextually. Is how i would understand that. Hope this helps provide sense upon my view. Thanks for challenging me in. For i prayerfully consider where and how to look (honestly) to see what pans out most from context. The winners: Lineage, and sorrow unto making men. And the flood came because men had evil thoughts...not angelic ones. Yeah meant that as a outtro punch line. Feel free to reply as you might. Bless you dear brother.
