Have faith in God! A poem

Oct 192012

Have faith in God!
When you have faith in him, the cares of this world grow dim. When you have faith in God above, you will be filled with his love. Troubles may pursue, but he will take care of you! Life can be rough; I’ve seen it all and had enough. By the eye of faith I see, all that Heaven holds for me. Love not this world with all it’s treasure, God will give you much more and that without measure. His grace you will see, not just for now but for all Eternity! He is just not by your side, for in you he does abide. Through faith we see the promises of God, with the Holy Spirit, it’s not hard. My yoke is easy said he, I do the work, you just follow me! Great things I will show to you, things the world has not a clue. You and me walking together, my Spirit I give to you without measure. I will never leave you, never let you down, I promise one day with me, in Heaven you will be found.
Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28 NLT

A cursed earth, but with hope, a poem.

A cursed earth but with hope!

What beauty the first man did see, it is not

seen today by you and me.

What happened to it all, it disappeared in

one day, lost in the fall.

God had said; “Let there be light” in this

he did delight!

Tend to my garden the Lord said to Adam

and Eve to do, enjoy the life I gave to you.

Satan said; in no way this will stand,

I will possess their land.

Your will they will not do, they will obey

me and not you.

What you told them I will twist and deceive,

I will overcome the woman Eve.

She will believe the lie I tell, she will

convince Adam as well!

Where is your beautiful garden now, God

has ejected you with a vow.

A curse he has given, no more peaceful living.

Now the bee does sting, there is enmity between

you and everything.

Cain killed his brother, gone was the love for

one another.

It was by Satan, who told the first lie,

and through that, Able did die, when sin came, man had the blame.

Woe is me is all we can say, but God loved his

creation, by the way.

To Adam he did say, Satan through your sin,

had won the day.

I will send my Son; he will plunder your Kingdom,

many souls will be won, by the way!
After my Son’s 1000 year reign on this earth,

a new Planet and Heavens will have its birth.

Note: At this time the earth is still cursed, as the Apostle Paul wrote; “The whole creation groans

waiting for the lifting of this curse” (Paraphrased).

After Adam and Eve sinned, God pronounced a

punishment that is still in effect today. Adam no longer

was the constant Gardner, hard work and sweat was his

to stay. Eve would have increased pain in childbirth

along with her husband having domination over her.

In the Lord’s 1000 year reign, this punishment will be lifted, in Christ men and women will be equal, as it was in the Garden before the fall. Today, God’s will for the believer is marriage should be one made in Heaven as Paul stated in the Book of Ephesians, the husband loving his wife as Christ loved the Church and gave his life for it and the woman honoring and respecting her husband as if he was the Lord Jesus himself! We do not see this in the unbelieving world today and should not expect to as God’s ways are not our ways. The Father is over Christ, Christ is over the man and the man is over the woman. “But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ” 1-Corinthians 11:3 NASB.

Clouds are cool, a poem.

Some are brilliantly white, the cream colored ones add to my delight.

Sometimes in them, faces and shapes you see, as you point them out to the kids with glee.

Up into the blue they rise, great mountains in the skies.

Do you realize that God made them for you and me?

Did you know their power comes from the sea?

At times the clouds grow dark, the lightning in them are stark.

The mighty whirlwinds that descend from the storm with force, will take you away, even your horse!

The birds flee when those angry clouds they see.

Who can stand before them at the height of their power?

Those who are caught outside in its fury, in fear wonder, if this is their final hour?

Our daughter always loved the clouds when with us she lived.

In her new home far away, the sky has few to give.

I dedicate his poem to our daughter Kari.

Listen!

As I listen to the rhythm of the falling rain; I love the lyrics of that old

tune, it is a sweet refrain.

When cascading from above its sound is like a melody

from God’s love.

When the rainbow appears, it comforts me like a hand in a glove.

It is God’s sign saying; “Fear not, I will never send another Flood”.

As I sit here looking over the grassy plain, the mist rising to meet the sun, I am awed by the beauty you created and the souls you have won.

The dew glistens, I hear his voice and he says;”Be still, I reveal deep

secrets to those who listen”. I give my rain to the good and bad, sadly, it only makes those who love and praise me glad.

The flesh stinks!

The flesh stinks!

There are not many of us who like unpleasant smells, bad body odor is not appealing but dead things are the worst, like “Dead Works”.

Did you know that according to God’s word the works of the flesh performed outside of faith is like “Filthy Rags” in God’s sight, they stink!

“Roll the stone aside,” Jesus told them. But Martha, the dead man’s sister, protested, “Lord, he has been dead for four days. The smell will be terrible.” John 11:39 NLT.

The above scripture is what I have based this blog upon, it is the awesome account of Jesus raising his friend Lazarus from the dead.

He had been dead for four days in a sealed Tomb so you can understand Martha’s concern about bad the smell would be.

Then Jesus shouted, “Lazarus, come out!” John 11:43 NLT.

The rotted stinking flesh was restored to the way it was before his death.

His spirit returned from Paradise giving life to his body. The body without the spirit is dead.

The Book of James confirms this; for just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead. James 2:26 NASB.

In Romans chapter 7 Paul the Apostle reveals his personal warfare against his flesh, saying; for I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. Romans 7:18 NLT.

So Paul agrees, the flesh does stink because nothing good dwells in it! When we read all of Romans 7, it reveals the “Warfare” every believer faces, the New Nature through the Holy Spirit wars against the flesh, the *corruptible body that was not changed at conversion but will be in the future.

Paul is so troubled by what he experiences through the flesh, that is, doing the very thing he hates. This is a paradox, because he says he is not doing it, the flesh is! He then explains that in his “New Man”, the “Inner Man” he loves God’s Law. For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man. Romans 7:22 NASB.

This conflict between his flesh and (His saved) spirit causes him to cry out that he is a rotten man and asks who can deliver him from his body of death (Paraphrased).

His answer is found in Romans 8, those who have faith in the Lord Jesus will never be condemned! So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus Romans 8:1 NLT.

All Christians, like Paul are in a struggle against sin which God hates and says; because it is written, “YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY.” 1-Peter 1:16 NASB.

The good news is that when you first believed you were “Sealed” by the Holy Spirit, and despite your sinful corruptible flesh, you are Holy, your body being the Temple of God. As we are Holy in our inner man we are to “Work out” what God has worked in, that is to do the “Good Works” he has ordained.

I must note that in all Paul’s struggle with sin, none of it was “Willful”, that being the case he received “Grace upon Grace” and the Lord helped him keep his body under subjection. Willful sinning brings God’s faithful correction upon his children, it is a sign that proves his love for us!

If God doesn’t discipline you as he does all of his children, it means that you are illegitimate and are not really his children at all. Hebrews 12:8 NLT.

As Christians we are Light and Salt to the world but to some we stink and smell like death but to others we smell like the sweet aroma of Christ.

Our lives are a Christ-like fragrance rising up to God. But this fragrance is perceived differently by those who are being saved and by those who are perishing. 2-Corinthians 2:15 NASB.

To those who are perishing, we are a dreadful smell of death and doom. But to those who are being saved, we are a life-giving perfume. And who is adequate for such a task as this? 2-Corinthians 2:16 NLT.

Devotion to Jesus should be the Christian’s goal. Jesus told us to ask our Father for more of his Holy Spirit, He is the key to the power to live the Christian life. I believe obedience to God’s word brings the infilling of the Holy Spirit and through him you will be yoked to Jesus, things become easy as he is pulling the load!

*The Born Again believer no longer has an “Old Nature” as some have taught, that old nature was their dead spirit, when saved it is replaced by God with new nature and is a “New Creation, the old has passed away. This new nature cannot sin, loves God and his word and is joined to Jesus through the Holy Spirit, thus “One” with him as Jesus did pray at the Last Supper. I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as we are. John 17: 11 NASB Paul the Apostle in Romans 7 explains his personal experience with this warfare going on in his body, he finds that even though he loves God and his Law in his saved spirit (Heart) he still sins but not willingly! His comfort comes from the knowledge that he never will be condemned by God-Romans 8: 1 NASB.

“For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:30 NASB.

The perfect Law, the perfect Man

Uncategorized No Responses »

The perfect Law, the perfect Man.

Can anyone keep God’s Law today, is there someone to show us the way?

God gave his Law for two purposes; the first is to show to the world his perfect righteousness, the second is to show Man’s total depravity from the Fall of Adam.

For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are. Romans 3:20 NLT. It is like a mirror that shows us that we need a shave but can’t shave us!

In John 3:16 we read of God’s love of his creation, the earth and the universe but specifically Man whom he had created in his own image and likeness.

No one can keep the Law and be justified in God’s sight because Man is flawed, having a fallen nature, trapped in darkness, unable to save himself and is a slave to Satan. We know that we are children of God and that the world around us is under the control of the evil one. 1-John 5:19 NLT.

Their spirits are dead to the things of God but alive to sin. The “Good News” was first preached to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden by the Lord himself, he told them that the “Seed” of the woman (Mary) would be their redeemer. That seed is Jesus! (Genesis 3:15).

God had his plan for our salvation before he created the earth, Adam’s fall did not take him by surprise.

Who could save us from our sin and helplessness before God? A perfect Man, sinless and who would not only keep all God’s Law but magnify it before those who had received the Law through Moses.

God told Abraham to stop, do not sacrifice your only son, I will sacrifice mine! The word of God who is God the Son, laid aside his attributes and equality he always had in the Godhead. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Philippians 2:6 NLT.

Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form Philippians 2:7 NLT.

He became Jesus, born not of the seed of Adam but of the seed of the woman, the Virgin Mary.

He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, he is fully God and fully a man but without a fallen nature.* He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. This perfect God Man did as the Prophet had foretold, that is Jesus would magnify God’s Law which he himself kept perfectly! He put the self-righteous Pharisees to shame and guilt. He magnified God’s Law by telling them that if you even thought evil you have done it in God’s sight. How tough is God’s Law? Jesus said you would have to pluck out your eyes, and cut off your hands if that’s what it would take to keep you from going to Hell! We know as Christians that God’s purpose was never to have us to be saved by keeping the Law. It is through faith in Jesus Christ who fulfilled the Law for us and then gave us his righteousness for our justification before God.

For the law was given through Moses, but God’s unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ. John 1:17 NLT.

This is the perfect man, Jesus who kept God’s perfect Law then offered himself on the cross as a ransom for our sins, the Just dying for the unjust!

It stirs my soul when I read in God’s word that Christ died for us while we were his enemies. How many would give their lives for their enemies? For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son. Romans 5:10 NLT.

What a wonderful God we serve, he had prevented Abraham from killing his only son. Jesus became the sacrificial Lamb of God, an act of his pure love! We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. 1-John 4:16 NLT.

I love that Hymn which includes the words; “I had a debt I could not pay,

Jesus had a debt he did not owe; I needed someone to wash my sins away.

And now I sing a brand new song, Amazing Grace, he paid the debt that

I could never pay”.

*Jesus is the “Second Adam”, the first had fallen through sin, Jesus the second Adam could not sin as Jesus was not of Adam’s fallen seed, he did not have a fallen nature! He was tempted in all ways as is common to man but he COULD NOT SIN! His temptation by Satan was to show us, who he is, the Second Adam from God who would defeat Satan no matter what he threw at him. When you test a diamond you expect it to cut glass to prove that is a real diamond. Jesus was tested to show us he is the perfect diamond and the perfect sacrifice!

Jesus is joined with God the Son (Forever) he has the sinless “New Nature” through the Holy Spirit. We are joined to him through faith and have this same sinless New Nature in our regenerated spirits. (The inner man, the “New Creation”, the Temple of God, not made by hands.). Some say that Jesus could have sinned, this is false, as it would go against God’s Will which no one can resist! It would have God’s Will a failure, he would cease to be our Sovereign God! Jesus always did the Father’s Will perfectly, even going to the cross.

I remember thinking as a young man that the God of the Old Testament was hard, and always angry at us. I was very afraid of him. I knew that I was a sinner that could not live up to what my religion had told me I would have to do to be right in God’s sight, so I gave up. I now know that Jesus didn’t give up on me!

God is love and always has been love, from the fall of Adam to this day and beyond. In both the Old and New Testaments he is the same, he does not change! “I am the LORD, and I do not change. That is why you descendants of Jacob are not already destroyed” Malachi 3:6 NLT. Jesus sought me out, delivered me from my darkness and sin even though I was his enemy. “For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.” Luke 19:10 NLT.

Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28 NLT.

Can a person who has faith in the Lord Jesus Christ lose their salvation?

Can a person who has faith in the Lord Jesus Christ lose their salvation?

*The answer is no! How can you lose that which is not yours?

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? 1-Corinthians 6:19 NASB.

You are the purchased possession of God; the Father gave you to Jesus, he bought you from Satan’s slave block of sin with his own blood. Just as the Lord had Hosea buy back his wife from the slave block. God used Hosea and his wife to show us how he would save us. He would send his only sinless Son to give his life for us on the cross, purchase us from the slavery of Satan, a pure act of love!

He also said, “I will put my trust in him,” that is, “I and the children God has given me.” Hebrews 2:13 NLT.

Jesus is not ashamed to call us believer’s brothers and sisters because we are ALL from the same Father and at the cross he purchased us with His own blood.

So now Jesus and the ones he makes holy have the same Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters. Hebrews 2:11 NLT.

*Some Churches preach a false doctrine denying “Eternal Security”, that is they deny the Lord’s own words of; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. John 10:28 NASB.

I have personally heard in one of those Churches someone say; “You can take yourself out of God’s hands”. Talk about twisting scripture! The word says “No one will snatch them out”, doesn’t the “No one” include themselves?

Or are they saying that they are greater that God? It seems to me that this doctrine is just one of Satan’s many deceptions in some of our modern Churches.

I believe the following scripture explains these people very well along with their own self-righteousness which comes through the Law and works. (Legalism) Avoid them as God’s word tells us to do! “They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!” 2-Timothy 3:5 NLT. Don’t let these fakers steal your joy with their lies and twisting of scripture, for the Truth (Jesus) has set you free! The following two scriptures refute their pet doctrine of salvation by works. (Good works will come as a result of salvation proving that the person had received the free gift of faith and that faith without works is dead, being by itself!) For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; Ephesians 2:8 NASB. Not as a result of works, so that no one may boast Ephesians 2:9 NASB.

Those who offer their own “Good Works” for salvation rather than the completed work of our Lord Jesus

Christ on the cross are in for a rude awakining. Read what God thinks about their Good Works!

We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags. Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall, and our sins sweep us away like the wind. Isaiah 64:6 NLT.

Only faith in Jesus can save you! Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. John 14:6 NLT.

I pray that what I have shown from God’s word will strengthen my brothers and sisters in Christ. My hope is that they will reject false doctrines, legalism and grow to maturity in their walk with the Lord being led by the Holy Spirit.

It is said in God’s word that in the last days that there would be “Apostasy” in the Church. Indeed today we do see false teachers/preachers who have crept into the Church. There are also the “Tares” (Fake believers, they talk the talk but don’t walk the walk. You will know them by their rotten fruit, they live as religious Church going people, take communion, but they love their sin which comes from their lusts within. They are devoid of the Holy Spirit) whom **Satan places in the Church. Satan had learned that after killing many Christians that they only grew stronger so he decided to join the Church in order to subvert it from within. Be on your guard my fellow Christians.

**and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one Matthew 13:38 NASB.

I dedicate this blog to my “Ace” brother Mike.

Wrestling with God

When our Lord Jesus returns to the earth and begins his 1000 year reign,

there will be those who survived the Great Tribulation still living. They are the

lost, those without faith in Jesus Christ. The curse on the earth will have

been lifted, their life spans extended. The Devil will be out of the picture for the

Millennial period. They will still sin even without Satan’s prodding them as he does today. If one of them dies at 100 years old, it will be said that they were like a child; their death will have come because of sin.

Those who return to the earth with Jesus are the redeemed from the Garden of Eden to the Great Tribulation. The Tribulation Saints are not the Bride of Christ as the Church will have been raptured before the wrath of God is poured out during the Great Tribulation. God’s grace is shown even during the Great Tribulation. Through his Chosen People who he redeems in one day, Israel becomes the light to the world through the Jewish Evangelists who preach Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. The Saints that come out of the Great Tribulation will be the last to be saved with God’s plan of salvation. The lost that remain alive after the Tribulation will enter the Millennium; they will be witnesses to the perfect government rule of God on the earth. (It will be a stark contrast to Man’s failed rule today!) Jesus will rule the Nations with a “Rod of Iron”, no wars, only submission to His will, those who are disobedient will not receive any rain for their crops.

In Revelation chapter 22, I wrestle with God’s word in order to better understand what is said regarding the “Deeper Things” of God. Peter the Apostle wrote that Paul said some things concerning salvation which were hard to understand, I don’t have a problem there. Revelation 22: 1-2 Is difficult but we know that this Book does use symbols to convey the truth. I think the River of life, clear as crystal represents the Holy Spirit who is pure, coming from God himself! I also believe it is a literal River. Remember, the word has told us believers that out of our spirits would flow “Rivers Of Living Waters”. This is the Holy Spirit who given as a gift to all who believe. The “Tree Of Life” is a tough one, I also believe this Tree is a literal one as it was in the Garden of Eden. If Adam and Eve in their fallen condition had been partakers of it they would have remained in their fallen state forever? An Angel was positioned to guard against that! But now the Tree is found in the Holy City with its fruit that it bears every month, and the leaves are for the healing of the Nations. This scripture is hard to understand but in verse three it states that the curse on the earth will be lifted. My thoughts about this is that it occurs during Christ’s Reign, the Saints with him do not need any healing as they are exactly like Jesus, perfect and for all eternity! It must apply to the unsaved living during the 1000 years. During that time there will be planting and harvest with the earth yielding an abundance, (No Curse) the Lord Jesus supplying the rain always on time. The Tree is literal as it yields its fruit monthly and its leaves give healing to the Nations. It seems to me that the leaves of this Tree benefits *those who have human bodies that would be subject to sickness and death (Due to sin) and the Lord showing them kindness with healings from the Tree? The word tells us today that God is kind to the evil people even today. He gives them rain for their crops the same as he does for his loved ones in Christ.

Verse 5 tells us that there will not be any night or darkness upon the earth, only light. His Saints will shine like the Stars and reign with Christ forever.

*At the end of the 1000 year Reign of Christ on the earth with its

curse lifted, Satan will be loosed from the pit. He will lead the fallen humans

**that are dwelling on the earth in a final rebellion against Christ and his Saints

who are in the Holy City of God, the New Jerusalem. The Lord destroyes them all

along with Satan, who will be forever punished and tormented. All the humans that are killed will join the rest of the lost at the Great White Throne Judgment which occurs after the Millennium and before the New Heavens and earth are created. God wins!

**What a clear picture of fallen man without Jesus, in total darkness. They witness the perfect rule of God through Christ for a thousand years. They had been enjoying Paradise conditions, peace, abundance of food, perfect weather, no darkness of night, all the creatures friendly, long lifetimes! When Satan is loosed and leads them in rebellion against God we see the great darkness in them, they again follow their

Father Satan to their own destruction. God has proved the truth of his word. Jesus knew what was in fallen man, darkness so great, dead to God and in need of the Lord to raise them from their spiritual death.

So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free. John 8:36 NLT.

What does God’s word say about killing?

Uncategorized No Responses »

Oct 012012

What does God’s word say about killing?

There is much misunderstanding on this subject; God is Love and perfect in every way! He cannot sin or lie. He allows evil (Cannot do evil, is long suffering towards us and will bring perfect justice according to his own will and time-frame) and through evil he always brings good. Samson’s Riddle revealed this fact; So he said to them, “Out of the eater came something to eat, And out of the strong came something sweet.” But they could not tell the riddle in three days Judges 14:14 NASB.

Samson was attacked by a young lion which he tore in two. The lion represents the evil that comes at the believer through Satan, honeybees built a nest in the carcass. In this Samson saw the Lord turning around Satan’s attacks in order to strengthen his faith and give him spiritual food. The Lord does the same for us today through our trials in which we are more than conquerors. But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us Romans 8:37 NASB.

Did you know that there is an incorrect translation in the King James Version of one of the Ten Commandments? The King James says; Thou shall not kill but the true translation is found in the New King James version which correctly says; “Thou shall not MURDER”.

If kill was the correct word then we could not kill anything according to God’s word. God directed David’s armies to kill the enemies of Israel, in the Bible we see God allowing Armies to kill not murder.*

In Romans Chapter 13 we read that all Authority is set up by God for our good, those who break the Law suffer the consequences. I must note that fallen man hates the rule of Law. Today we see the evidence of what the Lord calls; “Lawlessness” in our Nation at the highest level. The Lord warns those in authority that to whom much is given, much is required! Some men’s sins are evident, some follow after (In the Great White Throne Judgment of the lost) And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds. Revelation 20:12 NASB.

Soldiers asked Jesus a question- Some soldiers were questioning him, saying, “And what about us, what shall we do?” And he said to them, “Do not take money from anyone by force, or accuse anyone falsely, and be content with your wages.” Luke 3:14 NASB.

Jesus confirms God’s word that it is lawful to serve in the Military.

To kill when ordered to do so, but he added that even as a Soldier they were to be moral, serving with honor. (It is my belief that these Soldiers had faith in Jesus, this is why they came to him asking what to do) We have seen throughout History those in Armies who have been immoral and have murdered prisoners and civilians thumbing their noses at the Geneva Convention’s rules. The moral Soldiers in these Armies refused orders to murder innocent civilians or prisoners, they honored God over their own lives.

*God kills, only man murders, fallen man is under the power of the evil one Satan, who is a murderer from the beginning. He caused Cain to murder Able, and he is behind all those who take up the sword against those at peace in the world. We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one 1-John 5:19 NIV.

God is the one who defeats those who take up the sword, they are defeated by the sword through the Armies he blesses and helps to obtain victory. The evil sword is repelled by God’s righteous sword! “Whoever sheds man’s blood, By man his blood shall be shed”, For in the image of God He made man. Genesis 9:6 NASB. This is God’s warning to all murderers, it is God’s will that they be killed. That is not always carried out by those who reject God’s word. Fallen mankind has substituted their own commandments over Gods. Jesus mentioned this when he rebuked the unrighteous Pharisees, even saying that Satan was their Father. You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44 NASB.

Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword Matthew 26:52 NASB.

Who are the sons of God that married the daughters of men?

Who are the Sons of God that married the daughters of men?

That the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose (Genesis 6:2).

They are not fallen Angels as some believe, they are those who have faith in God. I believe the term: “Daughters of men” refers to those of the fallen line from Adam. Jesus made this type of distinction when He spoke on two different occasions to women (“And this woman, a daughter of Abraham as she is, whom Satan has bound for eighteen long years, should she not have been released from this bond on the Sabbath day?” Luke 13:16 NASB). But Jesus turning to them said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, stop weeping for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children (Luke 23:28 NASB). Please note Jesus did not tell the woman who was weeping and washing His feet to stop, she too was of the seed of Abraham (Through faith). The Daughters of Jerusalem were not. They were the “Other” children of the flesh, descendant’s of Abraham.

The woman referred to as a Daughter of Abraham is one of God’s Elect ones, the promise to Abraham that in his seed all the earth would be blessed (For assuredly He does not give help to angels, but He gives help to the descendant of Abraham Hebrews 2:16 NASB). Being descendants of Abraham doesn’t make them truly Abraham’s children. For the Scriptures say, “Isaac is the son through whom your descendants will be counted,” though Abraham had other children, too (Romans 9:7 NLT).

It is not those born of the flesh that are given the promise, it is through Isaac the promise came, the seed of Abraham. Jesus knew this woman was of the Godly line (Sons of God) from Abraham. Those the Lord called: “Daughters of Jerusalem” were not of the seed (Promised ones from Isaac) of Abraham. Now we can understand the term: “Sons of God” being those chosen of God and the: “Daughters of men” not the Godly line of faith. The Lord refutes this belief that Angels had sexual relations with humans. Also, if that were true, Jesus could not represent fallen Adam, the descendants would have been changed by a new “created” sperm (How could the fallen Angels through Satan duplicate God’s creation of Adam and the seed he passed on to all humanity? They can’t!) “For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven (Matthew 22:30 NASB).

I have included a link below that goes into greater detail regarding this subject.
