Lion king, thanks for taking the time to reply to my comments. But your responses are lacking any substance, no offence meant.
I wrote, "Do I believe that demons can possess men? Yes! Through this possession, can they cause people to do evil against God and their fellow man? Yes! Now do I believe that demons can take on human form, and function as humans? No! This was a miracle accomplished only by Jesus Christ, "God manifest in the flesh."
Lion king replied, "Angels can and sometimes, do take human form. For instance, the angels that visited Abraham and Sarah took human form and even ate food with them."
Phil replies, "To your comment I am in full agreement: but your proposition has nothing to do with answering my proposition which was, "Can these fallen spiritits take on human form, AND function (procreate) meaning furtalize a woman, and reproduce as would a mortal man? There is not one shred of evidence in Scripture that would verify this.
And by the way concerning the three that Abram saw. I agree that he saw, Gen.18:2, Abram saw three men, because Abram calls them men. But we also know that one of them was the Lord, because Abram calls him Lord, not upper case "L".
But this human form that God took on to himself was not a one time event. Example, the Lord was seen in the burning furnace, "One like the Son of man." He was seen in heaven by Daniel, and John, "One like the Son of man." He wrestled with Jacob; seen by Manoah and his wife, and throughout both the old and N.T. But this was God who can do all things.
But were the other two men, that Abram saw angels from heaven? First, they are called men in Scripture, for they ate, walked, talked, etc. They were also called angels, meaning messangers because this is what they did; they delivered a message.
Only when they left for Sodom were they called angels, meaning messanges, because this is what the Lord had instructed them to do, deliver a message. In no way does it mean they were spirit creatures. In [FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']Rev.1:20, the angels of the seven churches, were probably the bishops or pastors of these churches, who were the delegates, messengers, of the churches to God in the offering of prayer, etc. [/FONT]
The two may have been men like Elisha, Elijah, Moses, or whoever, men who were given power by God to accomplish His will. Its not unusual for mere men to do miracles. Elisha made fire come down from heaven, Moses opened up the sea, etc. but these were mortal men doing God's will. We have no absolute evidence thee other two Abram saw were angels from heaven. Lot in Gen.19:2, calls the lords, not lower case "lord." What we are sure of, they were called both men and angels.
Phil wrote, "Who are the sons of God?" And who were these evil people that God was about to destroy in the flood? Were they mere men, or were they some form of hybrid creatures. The first clue comes from Luke 3:38, it is simple in its wording, and very clear in its meaning.
"Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God." Scripture calls Adam, "the son of God." So the Scriptures clearly represent the first man as, "the son of God," as did the line of Seth, the son of Adam up to the flood, including Noah."
Lion king replied, "Angels are referred to as the "sons of God" in the book of Job (Job 1:6; Job 38:7)."
Phil replies, "Again, I agree with your proposition, but it has nothig to do with my question. It has nothing to do with the sons of God that you believe are angels (spirit creatures,) who you claim turned themselves into mortal men and had children by mortal women.
Now concerning the words "sons of God." It also means children, or sons of. If someone is called the "son of God," it is said they partake of the things of God, as in "Children of the kingdom, Children of the light, those subject to the privileges and blessings of God. Sons of peace, sons of consolation, etc.
Then there are the sons of, or children of, (children is a synonym for son) the wicked one, meaning subjects, vassals of Satan, "Children (sons) of the devil." There are sons of this world; Children (sons) of disobedience, Son of perdition, etc. These partake in the things of the wicked one.
Conclusion, in no way according to the Hebrewism of the Scriptures would fallen angels be called "Sons of God,"
If I am incorrect please give me chapter and verse using the Hebrew word, "ben = son, sons, children."
