AN ANSWER
by
Keith Hunt
Five readings were given (this was on an old Forum many years
ago) to support this idea. The five readings I could not find in
the Bible. No books or authors by those names last I looked at my
Bible index.
The LXX(Septuagint) is very unreliable at times and should be
taken with a pinch of salt, sometimes with a whole bag of salt.
Josephus and the Pharisees (he was one of them) ..... well you
know what Christ thought about them... I need say no more.
The other three are all just as faulty, some truth, much error.
That's the way it is with the evil one. He can quote scripture,
knows it very well, can even appear as an angel of light. He is
very cunning and deceptive.
Now you want to see now FAR OUT this above idea can become, then
see COMPANION BIBLE; APPENDIXES 23 etc. I now handle the
Companion Bible with kid gloves and reservation. It blows my mind
with unthinkable nightmares to imagine that God would create
Spirit beings (angels)to be allowed and able to have sexual
relations with physical women - produce off-spring. It is one of
the weirdest, strangest, mind bending, doctrines and teachings I
have ever heard of. Thee ramifications of such an idea can hardly
be contemplated. Well it has been. For yesterday and today
people are still going around teaching - to the point that they
say some physical persons on this earth are very "seed of Satan."
It leads to all kinds of crazy racist teachings and propaganda
against some nationalities and peoples.
Look, the Bible is full of direct teaching and examples that
fallen angels (demons) can "influence" and even come and dwell
"within" physical humans. The Bible talks about this over and
over again, leaving us in no doubt whatsoever that this is so and
does happen. God wants us to KNOW our enemy and how the enemy
works. He even tells us that they can appear as angels of LIGHT,
as WOLVES in SHEEP'S clothing. Now, if angels (good or bad ones)
had been given the power to re-produce through physical women,
with all the consequences it would have on human kind, the BIBLE
WOULD BE FULL OF THIS TRUTH, TO TEACH IT TO US, TO WARN US, TO
HELP US BE ON OUR GUARD, TO KNOW THE WILES OF THE DEVIL AND HOW
HE WOULD WANT TO USE SUCH POWER!!
BUT THE BIBLE IS ABSOLUTELY SILENT ON THE MATTER!!
Moses did not talk about it. David did not talk about it. The
prophets never mentioned it. They sure talked about all other
kinds of evil God's people could get into, but never a word about
women having sex with fallen angels and producing children from
them.
Jesus never mentioned such a sin, and He did talk about the human
heart and its sins. Peter never mentions the idea. James does
not. And Paul......in all the things he wrote about...... does
not come close to ever saying it can be done, fallen angels
reproducing through physical women, nor does he come close to
saying that it DID HAPPEN once, even if it does not today. And
Paul was famous for quoting the OT.
If the world before the flood became so evil because fallen
angels had reproduced so much off-spring through women, that that
was the main reason God had to destroy the earth (according to
some who teach bazaar doctrines of demons), then you can bet your
life that Paul would have spoken about it somewhere in his 14
epistles. It would have been one of the greatest evils and sins
to have ever been on this earth, but Paul is completely silent
about any such historic happening,as are all the other of the
books of the Bible.
One of the main purposes God created man and women was so
they could reproduce. This is clearly seen from the words of the
open chapters of Genesis. God invented sex and marriage. He
brought woman to ma to be his partner, and sex and reproduction
was tied together in the original design for marriage. When Jesus
said to the Sadducees that they did not understand the Scriptures
nor the power of God in regards to the resurrection, concerning
her that had 7 husbands in this life time, He went on to give
them a give truth about angels.
They were created NOT to marry!
And marriage comes tied together with sex and reproduction. In
the resurrection this woman will not be married to any of her
previous seven husbands.
She will not enter a marriage with them as on this earth.
There will be no sexual union with them, no children born to
them. And she will be AS THE ANGELS in that regard. They are and
were never created to have sex with anyone and reproduce. They
were not created with a sex drive, or sex hormones. If they were
then you can bet your bottom dollar they would be as busy as bees
reproducing themselves with our women. If this idea was true then
God would plainly tell us, so our women could be "on their
guard." It would be frightening to be a woman.
Angels were created to be servants, to be sent forth to serve
them who shall be heirs of salvation (Heb.1:14). They were not
created to reproduce themselves through physical women.
So what about Gen.6? Let's look at it and just read it as it is,
simply, with a child-like mind. Let's ask a few questions.
Who is the main focus on? Verse one says "MAN began to multiply."
Verse 3, "My spirit shall not always strive with MAN..." Verse 5,
"God saw the WICKEDNESS OF MAN...." Verse 6, "it repented the
Lord that He had made MAN...." Verse 7, "....I will destroy MAN
whom I have created...." Verse 12 says it was ALL FLESH that were
corrupt upon earth.
Back to verse one, "man began to multiply.... daughters were
born..." Verse two, the sons of God, men who were multiplying(all
men are sons of God via creation) took wives as they chose based
on the physical (fair) and not on the ways of the Lord. We are
not given all the details. Obviously God had His ways and laws
and commandments governing all walks of life, including marriage.
We are not given the details of how man was messing up marriage
but he sure was, for God in verse 3 says He would only give 120
years to man before He would bring that age to an end. The family
is the bed rock of civilization. Strong Godly families following
and living according to the laws of the Lord, will produce Godly
persons and a fine society, well pleasing to the Lord. The world
we see here in verses 1-3 was far from God, because marriages
were based upon only the physical and not the spiritual and
whatever other ways God had laid down at that time, which we are
not specifically told about.
Now verse 4. The original Hebrew had no punctuation. The first
part is only telling us a FACT, no more and no less. "There were
giants in the earth in those days, and ALSO AFTER THAT." So we
had at that time some giants in the earth, and also some giants
after that time, after the flood. Moses was writing this after
the flood and knew there were still some giant persons living.
The Israelites came across some when entering the promised land.
David killed one called Goliath. No big deal, we have some people
today who are giant in size, many play for the NBA, some for the
NFL. But they are probably small to the GIANTS in mind when Moses
wrote this.
Start a new sentence. "When the sons of God came in unto the
daughters of men (we have seen this was humans marrying in such a
way as to displease God), and bare children to them (that is one
result of marriage) the same became mighty men which were of old,
men of renown." In what way were they "mighty" men and of
"renown"? Was it in a good way or bad way? You can be mighty and
renowned for either GOOD or for either BAD. Hitler was mighty and
renowned for EVIL! The answer is given in verse 5. "And God saw
that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every
imagination of the thoughts of his heart was evil continually."
Nimrod in chapter 10 was a "mighty one" - "a hunter" and he was
evil.
There it is, the answer. The children born to marriages that were
based not upon God but only the physical, produced over time,
people who were not following God but only their evil thoughts
and the way that seemed right unto them, but ended in sin and
death. Do you remember the Proverb that says that? It is Proverbs
14:12.
God saw how all this family structure of society had perverted
the mind and heart of man form the Eternal's way of life to utter
wickedness and evil continually. He was sorry He had created man
on the earth (verse 6). God was determined to erase all this evil
and wickedness of mankind (verse 7).
Correct Godly marriages, based upon much more than just "they are
fair" to look upon, is vital for any nation to keep from
eventually being overtaken in all out wickedness. But this
society and world of Genesis 6 had left God out of the picture,
they were "doing their own thing" and they were entering marriage
based upon lust of the flesh and the physical only. Soon the
"earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with
violence ..... for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the
earth"(verses 11,12).
Could anything be plainer? This was not the result of some
demonic angels not controlling their sex hormone drive, and
coming to co-habit with physical women, so producing "devil-men"
and "devil-women" as some demon influenced minds would have you
believe.
The wickedness of the earth became so great because men and women
"did that which was right in their own eyes." They threw God out
of the window; just as we are doing today. They did not take God
into their marriages, but looked only to the physical. They did
not train their children in the "fear and admonition of the
Lord." Their schooling system was based on the physical with no
spiritual content. All the working of their lives was without the
Lord and so hence wickedness grew and grew, until all the earth
was corrupt before God and full of violence.
Some want to argue that Noah being "perfect" meant that he alone
and his wife etc. had not succumbed to demon sex, hence had no
half-man half-fallen angel offspring in their generations. They
like to quote you where the Hebrew word "tahmeem" here used means
"without blemish" for the physical perfection of "sacrifices" in
the Israel community.
What they do not do is quote you the rest of the passages in the
Bible where this same word is used, which would SHATTER their pet
idea about this doctrine of demons having sex with women.
To see the WHOLE TRUTH about this Hebrew word, I refer you to
works like the NELSON'S EXPOSITORY DICTIONARY OF THE OLD
TESTAMENT, page 287, and the ENGLISHMAN'S HEBREW AND CHALDEE
CONCORDANCE OF THE OLD TESTAMENT, page 1350, where every place in
the OT is given where this word "tahmeem" is used.
Noah and his family of all the families on the earth were the
only ones to have not corrupted themselves into wickedness and
evil and violence, hence Noah found grace and was saved. Ah,
being saved by grace is not, and was not, just for the NT
believer.
As Jesus said, just as it was in the days of Noah, they were
eating and drinking, MARRYING and GIVING IN MARRIAGE (but as we
have seen, the kind of eating and drinking and marrying - devoid
of God and His ways and laws, so they became full of wickedness,
evil thoughts continua and violence) until the day that Noah
entered into the ark, and they were all taken away by the flood
(Mat.24:36-39).
So it will be when the Son of man comes again. The world will be
eating and drinking, they will be marrying (having sex and
reproducing, but NOT with fallen angels), they will be doing
their own thing, doing it their way" or "my way" as a well known
song was called. They will be again full of wickedness, evil
thoughts continually and violence. When the Son of man comes they
will not know it.
So as Jesus told us saints of the light, we are to "Watch
therefore for you know not what hour your Lord does come."
