THE SONS OF GOD

THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS IS LOADED WITH SIGNS AND SYMBOLS. AND MUCH OF THE BOOK HAS MAN WARING AGAINST MAN,  ENDING WITH THE DIRECT ACTS OF GOD AGAINST MAN. BUT  REVELATIONS IS NOT THE ONLY PLACE LIKE THIS. THERE IS  BIBLICAL ACCOUNTS  IN  GENESIS OF GOD  ACTING AGAINST THE ACTS OF MAN..  

That the sons of God saw the daughters of men

that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.Genesis 6;2,4;Jude 6;1 Peter

Nephilim Who were the Sons of God? What Was Their Sin? What Happened?

 Genesis 6 1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

 2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

 3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

 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 only evil continually.

Numbers 13 33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

ONE VIEW OF THIS SCRIPTURE

The sons of God in Genesis 6:2,4 were men from the godly families of the righteous descending from Seth to Noah. Their sin was to break their covenant with God and lustfully marry into the wicked families on earth descending from Cain and others. The offspring were famous men in the antediluvian world, and God drowned the earth for this sin and the wickedness of man. 

Speculators, rejecting even elementary hermeneutics, assume the sons of God to be angels, which they say came to earth for sexual liaisons with women, resulting in a mongrel super race, which they call the Nephilim. 

Though God destroyed all living creatures with the Flood in Noah’s day, the consistent speculators find the Nephilim again in Canaan from Numbers 13:33. Nephilim is a transliterated Hebrew word, occurring in corrupt Bible versions in two places, and subsequently used by some as a name for the mongrel creatures resulting from angels copulating with women according to a false and foolish interpretation of Genesis 6:1-4 and Numbers 13:33. Genesis 6:4 (RV, ASV, RSV, NASV, NIV, NSRV, ESV, WEB, HSCB, GW, NCV, NIRV). Numbers 13:33 (RV, ASV, RSV, NASV, NIV, NSRV, ESV, WEB, HSCB, GW, NCV, NIRV, BBE, CEB, The Message, Young’s)

But not only has God decreed judgment upon those who rebelled against Him; He has moved into action with a plan to provide redemption from the curse of sin for all men who have put their faith in Him.  

3:16). (This inclination to rule phrase "and thy desire shall be un to thy husband.")

For Satan's involvement and all those who followed him have been judged and all will be one day be consigned to a place of eternal punishment (Gen. 

BIG BANG -- WORLDVIEW

Big Bang Theory -
Any discussion of the Big Bang theory would be incomplete without asking the question, what about God? 

WHAT ABOUT GOD?
Oh yeah--that's philosophical, and it's unfair to allow that--right!

In fact,  it's not fair EVEN if it makes THE ONLY sense or logic
.  
Even allowing intelligent design is too close to saying God.  

WE CALL IT A SINGULARITY! Tell me that we can only consider it a singularity (we don't know-but-something-will-show-up SOMETIME and it's other than God) isn't saying our faith-belief thereby claiming this making "(singularity--we don't know but something will show up other than God) " our philosophy or religion?

SO What About God?
 This is because cosmogony (the study of the origin of the universe) is an area where science and theology meet. Creation was a supernatural event. That is, it took place outside of the natural realm. This fact begs the question: is there anything else which exists outside of the natural realm? Specifically, is there a master Architect out there? We know that this universe had a beginning. Was God the "First Cause"? We won't attempt to answer that question in this short article. We just ask the question:

 What about Intelligent Design?

Physicist Dr. Stephen Hawking is regarded as one of the most brilliant scientific minds of this age. Although he declares himself an agnostic, he is clearly also an evolutionist, since he said:

“We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star.”

Stephen Hawking (quoted), Der Spiegel, October 17, 1988

In an apparent turnaround, however, Hawking said:  “It would be very difficult to explain why the universe should have begun, except as the act of a God who intended to create beings like us. The whole history of the universe can be said to be the work of God.”

Stephen Hawking, The Theory of Everything: The Origin and Fate of the Universe, Agawam, Massachusetts: New Millennium Press 2002, p. 117.

In a similar vein, Hawking conceded:

“The odds against a universe like ours emerging out of something like the Big Bang are enormous … I think clearly there are religious implications whenever you start to discuss the origins of the universe.”

Stephen Hawking, A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes, New York New York: Bantam Books 1998, p. 128.

Richard Dawkins is the leading evolutionist and spokesperson for evolution today. In his famous book The Blind Watchmaker, he says:

“Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose.”

“Natural selection is the blind watchmaker, blind because it does not see ahead, does not plan consequences, has no purpose in view. Yet the living results of natural selection overwhelmingly impress us with the appearance of design as if by a master watchmaker, impress us with the illusion of design and planning.”

Richard Dawkins, The Blind Watchmaker, New York, New York: Penguin 2006, pp. 1, 21.

SAYING IT HAPPENED BY CHANCE IS A FAIRY TALE. CHANCE HAS NO CAPACITY TO SEE AHEAD OR MAKE PLANS TO SELECT GENES.

The following quotes are from Dawkin’s book, The God Delusion:

“One of the greatest challenges to the human intellect, over the centuries, has been to explain how the complex, improbable appearance of design in the universe arises.”

“The natural temptation is to attribute the appearance of design to actual design itself. In the case of a man-made artifact such as a watch, the designer really was an intelligent engineer. It is tempting to apply the same logic to an eye or a wing, a spider or a person.”

Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion, Boston, Massachusetts: Mariner Books 2008, p. 157-158

SO TO THE QUESTION, TRY BELIEVING IN GOD? 

 NO!  YOU SAY, I CAN ALWAYS BELIEVE IN GOD LATER--RIGHT?


NO,  HEARING ABOUT IT AND PUTTING IT OFF MEANS YOU'VE DECIDED 

"EXCEEDINGLY STRANGE DEVELOPEMENT" IN SCIENCE.

Why Don’t These Evolutionists Respond To What They See?                    

Professor Robert Jastrow, founder of NASA’s 

Goddard Institute, now director of the Mount 

Wilson Institute and its observatory. observed:                                                                                      “This is an exceedingly strange development, 

unexpected by all but the theologians. They 

have always accepted the word of the Bible: 

In 

the beginning God created heaven and earth… 

[But] for the scientist who has lived by his faith 

in the power of reason, the story ends like a 

bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of 

ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest 

peak; [and] as he pulls himself over the final 

rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians 

who have been sitting there for centuries.”                             Robert Jastrow, God and the Astronomers, New York, NY: W.W. Norton and Co., 1978, p. 116.

 Leading evolutionists have concluded seeing is not believing.

They fully acknowledge that the universe and life appear to be designed, but unscientifically and irrationally conclude it was not designed.

While special creation by God is evident and 

in cases the only logical and reasonable conclusion.

        Instead of reasoning from observed evidence to the logical and scientific conclusion that there is a designer of the universe and life, evolutionists refuse the idea of a designer.                                      , Instead they force fit all observed evidence into their idea, and ignore the obvious. 

To support this materialist notion, they even imagine that there must be vast numbers of additional universes and dimensions without the barest shred of observational evidence. 

It is profound how far people will go to avoid God’s existence.

Simply put, there can never be enough evidence to convince someone of something they don’t want to believe.   so how can people believe otherwise with infinitely more complex and purposeful machinery throughout the entire inorganic universe and in every form of life?

                                                                                                                                                                       More information doesn’t help 

if one isn’t open in advance to go wherever the evidence leads. Knowledge is vital, but when it comes to knowledge of God, Pascal said it well:  “Human knowledge must be understood to be loved, but divine knowledge must be loved to be understood.”

Many claim they don’t have enough information to believe in a Creator, and cling steadfastly to the hope that conclusive evidence will eventually be found for evolution. 

This kind of belief without a single working example is blind faith in the ‘religion’ of evolution, not science.

Richard Lewontin,  a world leader in evolutionary biology, atheist, and self-proclaimed Marxist, wrote:                                                                                                                                                                              “We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism.                                                                                                               It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but,                                                                                                                                       ON THE CONTRARY,

Richard Lewontin, Billions and billions of demons, The New York Review, p. 31, January 9, 1997.

People can gain substantial information intellectually, but when it comes to God the Bible says our natural minds are devoid of truth and our understanding darkened. We are alienated from new life in God because of ignorance, but the root cause is hardness and callousness of our hearts.

WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT

 IN MY WORLDVIEW, OBVIOUSLY, THERE ARE MULTIPLE THINGS I ACCEPT BY FAITH.  EVERYONE MUST HAVE THIS POSITION.  THE ABSOLUTE FACT OF MY EXISTENCE OF MY EXISTENCE ONE THING  THAT I VIEW 

I'VE ALREADY DEALT WITH RELATING TO THE LORD WAY BACK IN 1950, I MADE MY OWN DECISION, AND I WON'T SAY THERE WAS NO LABOR OR SORROW.  I WILL SAY, AT 83+ YEARS, I'M VERY VERY HAPPY I DID.


I believe with advanced age, a person has the advantage of having lived through many of the good and bad decisions of life--what is truthful and what isn't.21

  

OBVIOUSLY, TRUTH DOES NOT COME WITH THE MORNING MAIL.  WE NEED SOMETHING ELSE TO GUIDE US

Sadly many contributing elders are automatically dismissed because of age.  Maybe at 83, I'm going into senile dementia when stating an arguing point--especially in reaching a faith-based conclusion.  

I might add here, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding."  Proverbs 9:10

I’M CONVINCED THAT THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE IS INTERESTED IN US.  THAT OUR CREATOR HAS COMMUNICATED WITH US (THE WORLD)THROUGH WHAT WE HAVE CALLED THE BIBLE.

SO I'M GOING TO PRESENT MY TAKE--MY SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN--ON RELEVANT EVENTS AND ISSUES AND USE THE BIBLE (GOD'S WORLDVIEW) IN REFLECTING ON IT. 

                                                     MY SIDE

                                     OF THE MOUNTAIN

RELEVANT ISSUES IN THE BIBLE

SO I WOULD LIKE TO  PRESENT ON THESE PAGES, AMONG OTHER THINGS, A BIBLE STUDY ON RELEVANT ISSUES.

ACCORDING TO GOD

DANIEL AND GOD'S PLAN

FINAL DAYS ACCORDING TO GOD

SEX IS REALLY GOD'S CREATION 

OUR IMMORTAL SOUL

DEATH AND AFTER DEATH 

ANTI--CHRISTIAN

CHRISTIANITY  HAS ITS OPPONENTS.
Arguments and debates have been made since the beginning of Christianity.The Apostle Paul wrote a letter to the Galatians--THEY WERE TURNING BACK TO WORK-ORIENTED BELIEFS.  YOU MUST BECOME A JEW--MUST KEEP THE LAW.   SEE PROOFS PAGES

APOLOGETICS--which  really is mainly a defense for the gospel
THE LETTER TO THE GALATIANS IS REALLY for the beliefs of salvation  to tell the nation by grace you are saved. The Law brings a curse that you must keep it all--not just a part.  However the Judizers who claim that the believer had to become a Jew to be saved.  Peter also dealt with opponents.

1.       1 Peter 3:15.

15	but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: [being] ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear:	kurion de ton criston  agiasate  en taiV kardiaiV umwn etoimoi aei proV apologian panti tw aitounti umaV logon peri thV en umin elpidoV alla meta prauthtoV kai fobou
16	having a good conscience; that, wherein ye are spoken against, they may be put to shame who revile your good manner of life in Christ.

Verse 15 Sanctify

(agiasate). First aorist active imperative of agiazw. This instead of being afraid. Christ as Lord (kurion ton Criston). Ton Criston, direct object with article and kurion predicate accusative (without article). This is the correct text, not ton qeon of the Textus Receptus. An adaptation to Christ of Isaiah 8:13.

Obviously the
letter is addressed to the "Saints at Ephesus." (v. 1)           The Apostle their Paul was addressing the Ephesian Church that the "eyes" of
