We are Sons of God
60
Be not deceived
The amount of information out on the Internet, has made it possible for the word of God to be spread, but also with it comes the lie and is also being spread just as quick.
My intention here is to clear up another one of those least " Understood" truths that belongs to true believers in Jesus Christ.
This truth is our inheritance because of what Jesus Christ has achieved for us.
Not at any time ever were angels or fallen angels considered sons of God, the idea started from false religion and mis-interpretation of scriptures.
God originally designed Man to live forever and " be fruitful and multiply" on the earth, he was an immortal being that was able to procreate and spread his off spring likewise. This is also why he is called son of God.
"Ben Elohiym" is the Hebrew name for sons of God, and expresses man as from God , hence man created in Gods image and Likeness, unlike Angels
Ge:6:2: That the sons
of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they
took them wives of all which they chose.
Job:1:6: Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves
before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

Satan was accusing Jobs sons of doing evil which they were, but because of Jobs righteousness, before God, in offering sacrifice for sin. Righteousness covered his family, hence why they were called sons of God.

Thanks, I felt that some believers were giving our glory as sons of God away, to angels.Beside this were are the ones that suffer persecution, daily and overcome, so we have the right to be sons of God, because of Jesus Chists completed works.
The funny part to it all was the fact that I actually believed that the sons of God were the angels that saw and knew the the daughters of man that produced the giants. There are scripture references to them. I have them written. When I retrieve them, I'll be sure to post them. Hummmmm...
