Let’s look at just some of the problems with this false “sons of Seth” doctrine.
1. No mention of Seth or Cain in Genesis 6
2. No reference anywhere in scripture calling the lineage of Seth “sons of God”.
3. If the linage of Seth were Godly why take so called ungodly women as wives?
4. Was Enoch, the son of Jared a descendant of Cain Godly?
5. No mention of Cain’s entire line being cursed.
6. No commandment in scripture forbidding marriage between the line of Seth and Cain
7. There is no link in scripture between the daughters of men and the line of Cain.
8. Ezekiel 33:2 Ezekiel was called oh son of man. Was he wicked?
9 Matthew 8:20 Jesus was called the son of man.
This whole Sethite view does not pass the scriptural smell test. It is false doctrine.
1. Correct.
Genesis 4:25-26.....
"And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD."
2. Genesis 4:26......
"And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos:
then began men to call upon the name of the LORD."
At this point in time there was 2 lines of humans. The line of Seth and the Line of Cain.
Seth = the Saved.
Cain = the Lost.
3. Bible does not say "ungodly line of women".
Genesis 4:16...........
"And Cain
WENT OUT FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD and lived in Nod and there he knew his wife."
This is the beginning of the ungodly line of Cain.
4. Yes.
Genesis 5:22.........
""A
nd Enoch walked with God and God and he was not, for took him".
5. Genesis 4:11-12.....
"
Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 12 When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.”
6. Sons of God took wives of the daughters of men. (Genesis 6:2) While we cannot be sure as to the meaning of this statement, it is evident that a contrast is made between the "sons of God" and the "daughters of men." Adam Clarke suggests that some believe the "sons of God" are the descendants of Seth, while the "daughters of men" are the descendants of Cain, who had rebelled against God and turned unto his own ways.
Sons of God took wives of the daughters of men. It seems clear to me that there it is evident that a contrast is made between the "sons of God" and the "daughters of men."
Notice that the marriage of the sons of God unto the daughters of men is mentioned specifically in connection with mans turning from God and failing to do Gods will.
7. Yes there is.
Genesis 6:4...
"The Giants were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the
sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown."
8. LOL! Is that what YOU think????
In Ezekiel, “son of man” means “human being.” It’s a poetic Hebrew expression that’s used with that same meaning in several other places in the Old Testament, for example, in Psalm 8, where the ESV translates the Hebrew terms literally: “What is man that you are mindful of him, and the
son of man that you care for him?” The NLT expresses the meaning of these terms: “What are mere mortals that you should think about them,
human beings that you should care for them?”
Since “son of man” means “human being” in Ezekiel, in the Common English Bible, that prophet is addressed as “human one”; in the Good News Bible as “mortal man”; in the New Century Version as “human”; and in the New Revised Standard Version as “mortal.”
9. Correct! I almost feel like I am teaching Sunday School again.
In the gospels, “Son of Man” means something different. It’s an allusion to the Old Testament, though not to the book of Ezekiel, but rather to the
book of Daniel.
This expression comes from a vision the prophet Daniel had of
“one like a son of man” who was given “authority, glory and sovereign power” by God. Jesus chooses this expression to describe himself because it communicates his divine mission without having the nationalistic and militaristic overtones of some of the other titles that were used for the Messiah at this time (such as “Son of David,” which he’ll be called later in the book). The title Son of Man particularly highlights the humanity and humility of Jesus. He will invoke this title repeatedly in the second part of the gospel as he speaks of his coming sufferings and death. But here it captures the authority he has, as a divinely-appointed representative of humanity, to forgive sins and determine how to make appropriate use of the Sabbath.
