Question: Brother, We read in Job 1:6, God's sons and Satan stood before God in heaven. Here God's sons denote God's angels. We read from the Gospel that angels don't marry. In Genesis 6th chapter, verses 1 to 5, we read God's sons married human women and begot giants. How these God's sons could marry women on earth?
Answer: Greetings in Jesus wonderful name!
Yes we see in the Book of Job which is the first Bible Book that is ever written as an inspired Book within the Canon (Jam 5:11; Ezek 14:14), which is way before the Book of Genesis and the succeeding four books which were written by Moses the Man of God and through Joshua his assistant trainee (Deut 29:1; 6:1; 5:1; 4:44-49; Acts 7:22; Exo 17:14), in its beginning itself we see a cosmic conference in heaven that regularly took place where Satan and his angels came along to participate and get instructions regarding the purpose and will of God to be fulfilled through them on earth. These angels were all guarding the earth as a watcher, going to and fro around it to keep the spiritual climate intact through executing the judgment and justice of God (Job 1:6; 2:1; Dan 4:13, 17, 23; Eze 28:14). So the very context in the Book of Job, supports the idea of truth that angels were called as the sons of God, Satan being one of them also came among them to present himself before the Lord (Job 2:1). There is not a iota of doubt that God's sons here denote God's angels.
Turning to the New Testament, when Jesus was speaking the truth regarding the purpose of marriage, he explains clearly that it is there because in the beginning of humanity itself it was institutionalized by God for humans to co-habit and produce and multiply children for the Glory of God (Gen 1:28; 2:20-25). He in fact was saying that in reference to earthly marriage, in heaven when humans begin to live in the sphere of heaven, through resurrection on the judgment day after their physical death because of knowing God (John 5:28-29), or even in hell fire because of dying in unbelief with the fallen angels (Matt 25:41, 46), there in heaven or hell they do not marry at all because they do not have the potential to have sexual intercourse and produce kids as they are all heavenly beings who were created for the purpose of watching over the earth and executing the Glory of God (Gal 3:19; Heb 2:5; Matt 22:30; Mark 12:25).
Having found that there is no loop hole to say that angels could have sex and produce children unlike the humans, in the whole of the context of the Old and New Testament Bible, let us delve in to the problem verse of Gen 6:1-5, which was misinterpreted by humans who do it out of context to produce unhealthy doctrine that produces confusion instead of clarity to the children of God within the Church. The best way to avoid wrong doctrine is to know the correct one. Praise the Lord!
Gen 6:1-5, 6-7 - "1 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. 3 And the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. 5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 7 So the LORD said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.”"
1) Humans Were In Context And Never Angels - We see in the above verse 1 that "when men began to multiply on the face of the earth", which means this context is all about increasing human population on earth that God is speaking about, it does not speak about angels at all. We know that when God created man in His own image (Gen 2:7), He created him "male and female", which means God has united both "male and female" as one in His own image and sees them as one in him who is Adam the son of God (Luke 3:38). In other words, only when Adam operates in unison through faith with Eve, God could see them both as "being heirs together of the grace of life", so that humans prayers may not be hindered by walking out of the will and purpose of God ( 1 Peter 3:7). Every man who walks in the will of God to marry another woman who is a believer (1 Cor 7:2, 5; 6:13-15, 16-20; 2 Cor 6:14-16, 17-18), does the will of God not only for his own life but for the generation that is being produced by him that God wants in faith (Gen 6:9-10; Malachi 2:15-17; 1 Cor 7:14).
2) So Who Are The Sons Of God? - We know that the preceding Chapters deals with the generation of believers verses the generation of unbelievers produced through Cain (Gen 4-5). In Genesis 3rd Chapter we see the fall of humans in to sin from innocence, then in Chapter 4 we see the works of faith and works of sinful flesh get separated in Cain and Abel, towards the end of this chapter 4, even though Abel was dead in faith (Heb 11:4), his blood was asking God for justice and vengeance upon the wicked (Heb 12:24; Gen 4:10), which made God to separate the righteous through faith from the unrighteous through their unbelief, thus making way for the sons of God and sons of the evil one to be identified (1 John 3:10, 12; John 8:44).
3) Noah's Grace Of Marriage Through Salvation Faith Within - Even though we see the works of people externally, which is rooted in their belief system within their heart internally (Jam 2:18, 26; Prov 4:23), the true connotation speaks of the internal spiritual life that is hidden behind the external physical life (Gen 2:16-17; 3:11). Thus Noah found grace in the sight of the Lord because he married a believer which was the work of faith expressed through his life (Gen 6:9-10; 11:10), though it might have taken him a long time to find her, and the same happened to their three sons which might have taken a long long time to find the right bride for them (1 Pet 3:20), yet their faith was made perfect through their work of faith in marrying believers which then led them towards building the ark of God together in faith which saved the believing world from the eternal and also physical destruction of the ungodly men of the world (Jam 2:22; Heb 11:7). The brides for their sons could have been converted through the exemplary lives of faith that this family lived before their very eyes, as we see that the brides families were not part of the people saved through the ark. Hallelujah!
4) What Wrong Did The Sons Of God Do? - The sons of God who were having faith within their heart, was waylaid by Satan through the external beauty of braided hair and jewels and beautiful faces of the unbelievers just like Balaam who used the same technique to completely destroy those believers in the nation of Israel (Gen 4:20, 21, 22; 1 Peter 3:3; 1 Tim 2:9-10; Rev 2:14; 2 Pet 2:15; Jude 1:4). The same is happening in our generation too just as it has been prophesied by Jesus (Matt 24:37), thus through the Media of television, internet and social media....the sons of God have begun to lust after the beauty of the daughters of unbelieving men to finally marry them and produce children who are struggling to keep faith, and thus they sadly have begun to continually produce the works of the flesh through unbelief in their lives, just as those who are in the world (Gal 5:19-21; 1 Cor 10:11, 14-22; Rom 15:4). Wake Up and Repent Saints! Every believer should choose what God requires which is a believing marriage partner, and not as they want especially in the area of marriage (2 Cor 6:14), which has the ability to make God feel sorry and let them go on to be judged along with the world through the works of the flesh that they have been involved in (1 Pet 4:17; Gen 6:3, 6), like the world within their heart which has become the idol of their life instead of the place where God should be the only one enthroned (1 Cor 10:22; 1 John 2:15-17).
5) Giants On Earth? - The Bible says, "There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown," what do we really incur from the above verse? Giants were not only huge and blessed physically in the days of Noah, but mentally they were very sharp enough to identify and solve problems that humanity faced. When the sons of God who were believers who had faith internally married with the daughters of men who were beautiful externally, they bore children who were giants, who were not only physically strong, but also had a inclination and a sanctified desire to build faith internally (1 Cor 7:14). These mighty men of old, were men of renown skill to bless the humanity as a whole physically because of a little faith as a mustard seed size within them that made them the sons of God (Matt 17:20), yet they did not have faith to overcome the flesh, because of which they were not able to bless the humanity spiritually unlike Noah in their generation (1 John 5:4, 5). Giants were children of believer and unbeliever mixed parentage. The violence within the unbelieving Cain race (Gen 4:23-24), spread within the mixed parentage of believer-unbeliever families who produced giants [(i.e.) Nephilims in Hebrew root words] of both physical and soulish skills, heroes, violent warriors of great fame and reputation in those ancient times but without spiritual thirst for God and his righteousness (Mat 5:6, 10; 6:33; Eccl 12:1). Thus God found no righteous man on earth whom he could shower his grace upon except Noah and his family who were the true spiritual giants who condemned the whole world without vengeance and violence through their living testimony which they preached through their lives (Heb 11:7; 2 Peter 2:5).
What was the message that Noah Preach? When God beheld the corruption of the earth and determined to destroy it, he gave Noah divine warning of the impending disaster and made a covenant with him, promising to save him and his family. As a righteous man, Noah “found favour in the eyes of the Lord” (Genesis 6:8), this was his message he gave to them all, that the reason he is building the ark was because God is going to completely destroy the world once it is over. He built a ark to save him and his household from the disaster of flood through faith, of which the whole world that have seen no rain during their times because God supplied water to the plants and trees through "a mist [that] went up from the earth and watered the whle face of the ground" (Gen 2:6), made them mock his work of faith which was the ark, which later saved him and his household without fail when the flood of God's judgment came upon the whole world (2 Pet 3:3-6, 9). Giants with all physical strength and height and skill of renown to let loose violence on earth and control it were destroyed by the flood completely, but the spiritually meek giant Noah and his household survived it all and entered in to the new world order of God!
GLORY TO GOD!
6) The Giants Were Not Human-Angelic Hybrid - The great question for many are, 'We read God's angelic so called supernatural sons married human women and begot giants. How these God's sons [(i.e) if they really were angel-human hybrid giants] could marry women on earth?' Remember, God has no sons except through faith (John 1:12; Rom 8:14; Gal 3:7), if these so called human-angelic hybrids were really giants, then there is no salvation for them because Christ came to help only the sons of Abraham which is of faith (Heb 2:16). But we know from the New Testament, that all of these sons of God who had faith but did not take pains through trials and tribulations willingly during Noah's time to perfect their faith through their works (Jam 1:2-4; Heb 12:5-6, 7), lived a fruitless lives with no difference in their character except the name they held as believers (1 Cor 3:15; John 15:2-3; Heb 6:8; 1 Cor 11:28, 29-30, 31), they were judged by God in the flesh through the flood but were saved by Jesus in their spirit through the Spirit in advance even as he later preached to them the Gospel of salvation in the prison in which they were kept (2 Peter 2:4-5; 1 Peter 3:18-20; 4:5-6; Rom 4:5-8; Rev 3:16). By the way, they were all taken with Him to heaven after His resurrection, who were all resurrected along with Him (1 Pet 3:18-21; Matt 27:52-53; Isa 26:19; Eph 4:7-10). So according to the Word of God, there were never any human-angelic hybrid ever. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! GLORY!
7) The Lord Judged The Earth Because Of Continual Wickedness And Evil Thoughts - Finally, God judged the earth not because there was a human-angelic hybrid that he could not control as though He is no more omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent, but rather he saw "the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually". The giants were not the cause of the destruction of the generation who lived during Noah's times, but their violent behavior and demoralized selfish character made the earth become a living hell (Gen 6:11-12, 13), as their thoughts were continually evil and the wickedness of man was great in all the earth. Woe to the sinner for he cannot escape the judgment of God! Angels can never be able to marry human women, because they do not have physical bodies, and also they do not have the sexual ability to procreate children as they are all spirit beings. Only humans with dust made physical bodies, can be able to marry, have sex and procreate children for the Glory of God. Hallelujah!
From what we have seen expounded in context, I appeal to you to make a healthy judgment to deny false doctrines of the times we live, and repent for the sins we have been involved in by turning to God and overcome it all for the Glory of God to live a life of holiness as a testimony to our generation like Noah and his wonderful family. May we build a family just like Noah did through faith. Praise the Lord!
Much Blessings....
