Howdy "faithful servant",
Greetings. Looking at your article on "End Times", the article states:
"Many competent and prominent Bible scholars of today believe the "sons of God" are of human lineage."
"Ultimately, this position simply does not "hold water" under even casual study. It is only by the Divine specific act of creation that any created being can be called a son of God. "
"The only thing referred to as a son of god (besides The Son of God) in the Bible is angels, Adam (not his descendants, who were after Adam's kind), and those having the new nature of Christ. Since the verses in Genesis 6 are not talking about Jesus or Adam and the Messiah has obviously not come yet, that leaves angels."
Jesus talks concerning the usage of the term "gods" as applied to those to whom the word of God came.
John 10:34-35 (KJV): "34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods ? 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came" This is speaking of the judges in Israel. The parallel phrase that explains and expands this phrase shows that the term son of God can be applied to those who have been set apart by God to accomplish his work.
Psalm 82:6 (KJV): "I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High." A careful examination of Psalm 82 will show that these "gods" or "children of the most High" were ready for judgment by God if they did not repent. Similarly the sons of God in Genesis 6 were those of the descendants of Shem, who should have been faithful to God and his ways, but they became corrupt by seeking marriage to the ungodly descendants of Cain.
The same theme is revealed throughout all the Scriptures, of the need to be sanctified unto God and this is by means of God's word.
John 17:17 (KJV) Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
1 John 3:1-3 (KJV): "1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure." Kind regards
