Hi MikeBecause they didn't. Your claim is conjecture and ambiguous because it is believed that the sons of God were men from the line of Seth who had corrupted themselves through fornication with the daughters of wicked men.
Jesus claim that there is no giving of marriage for us in that day is proof that there will be no gender for in Christ there is neither male nor female.

Read 1 Cor 15 yourself for it clearly says that Christ has not yet subjected himself nor the Kingdom back to the Father!
Plus the scriptures clearly teach that Jesus has been given all things including all authority and power and even all judgement. Jesus rules as King of Kings and Lord of Lords in the Throne of God so he is n longer the servant messiah for all things have been committed to him.

Wow Jack,Good work…………I did NOT know a scripture like this existed.
Now that we both know it does, let's honestly and intelligently discuss what it means.Do you think this scripture means that David and Solomon and all the kings who followed were literally sitting on the throne of God Himself? Because according to Keith, one must BE God Himself to sit on the throne of God. And that would mean that David and Solomon and all the others were actually God Himself. Is this what you believe……….that they were all God?
Or do you think that maybe it means that Solomon sat on the throne designated BY YHVH as the throne of the HUMAN kings of His nation?
Psalm 2:6
6 “I have installed my king
on Zion, my holy mountain.”We could also understand this scripture to be saying God Himself has a King over Himself. You know, like God is a subject in this person's Kingdom. But we know that's not the case, right?
Similarly, we know that Solomon did not literally sit on God's throne in heaven.
But if you want to understand this to mean that Solomon literally sat on the throne of God, then your scripture disproves Keith's claim that one must BE God in order to sit on His throne, right?
So Jack, in keeping with the discussion Keith and I were having, do you believe that the throne of David really IS the throne that God Himself rules from?

February 19, 2011 at 4:49 pm#236310mikeboll64BlockedHi Keith,
Matthew 20:20-21, 23
20 Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him.
21 “What is it you want?” he asked.She said, “Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom.”
23 Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father.”
Psalm 110:1
Of David. A psalm. YHVH says to my lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”Acts 5:31
God exalted him to his own right hand as Prince and Savior that he might bring Israel to repentance and forgive their sins.1. Keith, based on what these scriptures teach us, is the right hand position of a ruler GRANTED by the one who is in power? YES or NO?
2. Based on the obvious and honest answer of “YES” to the first question, does being EXALTED or GRANTED the position of “right hand” imply equality with the one who EXALTED or GRANTED another TO that position? YES or NO?

Keith, I just counted 41 scriptures that call Jesus the “Son of God”. NOT the “Son of the Father”, but the “Son of GOD”. And that's not even counting the ones that says he is the “Son of THE Living God”, or the ones that refer to him as “God's Son” or “His Son”.In light of these 41+ scriptures, and the 6900+ times that God is referred to by a SINGULAR pronoun such as “He” and “Him”, could you answer my question with a simple YES or NO?
2. According to MANY scriptures, is Jesus the Son of the SINGULAR BEING called “God”? Yes or No?

MikeIt is ambiguous and inference at best to say they were “Angels”.
For one that would be contrary to the seed bearing principle of every seed bearing after its own kind or for instance a spirit being having sex with a human\flesh being.
This is how the opinions go…
Genesis 6 – two interpretations There are effectively two views[16] regarding the identity of the Nephilim, which follow on from alternative views about the identity of the sons of God:
Offspring of Seth — The Qumran (Dead sea) scroll fragment 4Q417 (4QInstruction) contains the earliest known reference to the phrase “children of Seth”, stating that God has condemned them for their rebellion. (Nonetheless, a few commentators dispute the interpretation of this reference.)[citation needed] Other early references to the offspring of Seth rebelling from God and mingling with the daughters of Cain, are found in rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, Augustine of Hippo, Julius Africanus, and the Letters attributed to St. Clement. It is also the view expressed in the modern canonical Amharic Ethiopian Orthodox Bible.
Offspring of angels — A number of early sources refer to the “sons of heaven” as “Angels”. The earliest such references[17] seem to be in the Dead Sea scrolls, the Greek, and Aramaic Enochic literature, and in certain Ge'ez manuscripts of 1 Enoch (mss A-Q) and Jubilees[18] used by western scholars in modern editions of the Old Testament Pseudepigrapha[19]. However, “Angels” in this context has sometimes been considered to be a sarcastic epithet for the offspring of Seth who rebelled (see above). The earliest statement in a secondary commentary explicitly interpreting this to mean that angelic beings mated with humans, can be traced to the rabbinical Targum Pseudo-Jonathan, and it has since become especially commonplace in modern-day Christian commentaries.
Others do not take either view, and believe that they are not historical figures but are ancient imagery with questionable meaning. WikipediaQuote (mikeboll64 @ Feb. 19 2011,10:21) Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Feb. 19 2011,03:05)

Paul says “in Christ there is neither male nor female” which implies if we are going to be like the Angels that do not marry it is because they have no gender.Where is the scripture that calls an angel of God a she, or her? Like God they have no gender and are referred to as a he.

My hope is not to be a brother of Jesus for I am now a brother and a son of God by adoption.
You are a BROTHER of God right now?Romans 8:17
Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ……..Galatians 4:6
Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.”SONS of God, and joint heirs of God along with His firstborn Son, Jesus.
Romans 8:29
For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.BROTHERS AND SISTERS of Christ.
Keith, the above are actual SCRIPTURES. They say that we can be SONS of God and BROTHERS of Christ. Where did you find the scripture that teaches you that you are a BROTHER OF GOD?

You misunderstood me. By Jesus humanity I am his brother and a Son of God.WJ

MikeNo it doesn't because the prophetic scriptures of the “Throne of David” on earth was a type of the “Throne of God” in heaven and is proof that Jesus will sit in the “Throne of God” forever and rule forever with the Father.
Blow that straw man down.

MikeIt is ambiguous and inference at best to say they were “Angels”.
Keith, please just answer my question. WHY do you think Moses distinguished between “sons of Elohim” and “daughters of adam”?Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Feb. 20 2011,02:59)
No Jesus claim is we will be as the Angels of God who neither marry nor are given in marriage.
Yes. I believe we've established this. Where does that say angels don't have genders?Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Feb. 20 2011,02:59)
Paul says “in Christ there is neither male nor female“
What is the context of Paul's teaching here?Galatians 3:28
There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.I don't think this really supports your claim. Especially when Jesus himself says, “For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”
What do you make of this verse:
Revelation 12:10
Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Feb. 20 2011,02:59)
Where is the scripture that calls an angel of God a she, or her?
Zechariah 5:9
9 Then I looked up—and there before me were two women, with the wind in their wings! They had wings like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between heaven and earth.
These sound like angels to me.Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Feb. 20 2011,02:59)
You misunderstood me. By Jesus humanity I am his brother and a Son of God.
So you are both a brother AND a son of God? Please explain, because to me it brings to mind an old Carol Burnett show, where Tim Conway sang a hillarious song about how he ended up being his own grandpa.peace and love,
