Strengthening families through biblical principles.
Focus on the Family addresses the use of biblical principles in parenting and marriage to strengthen the family.

If these angels are being so directly related to Noah's time then why do you think the translators of the text you quoted use a semicolon between the angel example and Noah's example AND Sodom's example.
It is a list of three examples is the reason.
And anytime a verse starts with a "for" you might want to step back and see what the verse is there "for".
It's evident you read my post about as thoroughly as you have 2 Peter 2 (the whole chapter at least). I never said that the reference to Noah is not linked to the ancient world. They appear inside the semicolons in the sentence which you only quote a portion of.
And they are all related to the angels and the flood and the sexual immorality.
Nephilim are called people.
(Edited. Obadiah.)The sons of God produced the Nephilim.
That is why they were Giants of abnormal size.
Yes, JLB. Peter does link them together. Just like he also links Sodom and Gomorrah with them also in 2Pet 2:6. They are linked by the repeated phrase, "If God spared not..."
Peter tells us that God also knows how to preserve the righteous (giving another example: Lot) in verses 7, 8 and 9. Then he picks up where he left of and continues to describe characteristics of MEN (false prophets). That's the topic. Take it from me, a moderator, well practiced in delivering reminders to stay on topic, Peter was not talking about angels directly. They were mentioned as examples of judgment, showing that God will also judge the false prophets.
- Verse 4 tells us that God didn't spare the angels when they sinned
- Verse 5 tells us that God didn't spare the old world (but saved Noah)
- Verse 6 tells us that God didn't spare Sodom
The main topic is False Prophets that have crept in unawares. Subtopics include those that have forsaken the right way (including angels, men other
than Noah and his family, Sodom and the cities surrounding, and later another example of those which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam (see verse 15).
Trying to change what Peter was talking about to Nephilim (who were not mentioned at all) fails.
Oh BoyAngels that sinned.
There sin was having relations with the daughters of men.
Unless you can show another sin that angels committed during the time of Noah, then you really have no argument that works.
Peters letter sinches it for sons of God being human.
There is just way to much unanswered scripture that I have presented that you need to honestly address Brother.
God bless you.

It is not anything I am going to take to seriously.I am a believer and I am going to heaven....period.
If someone doesn't believe demons had sex with women, is their salvation in jeopardy?
Just for fun why
Common sense against the sinsationalism of angels having sex...
The whole topic is weird.We don't know for sure.It is all speculation in my opinion.

In Gen 6, these "Sons of God" are said to have taken "wives". Think about the definition of a wife.
Genesis 6:1-2 When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose.
Ask yourself, would God refer to a woman having sex with an angel (who, BTW is only appearing as a man) as a marriage to a "wife"? I say no, as that contradicts His definition of a wife given just a few chapters previously.
And I certainly don't think an angel appearing as a man produces semen carrying actual DNA with human X and Y chromosomes. It's one thing to appear as a man in form, on a sanctioned mission from God, yet quite another to be a real DNA carrier. Or is that DNA just appearing to be real DNA as well? At some point, molecules must be real molecules, not manifestations of them.
Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.And what is this verse there for?
“This at last is bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called Woman,
because she was staken out of Man.”
This idea of angels and humans having sex all starts with a false premise that "sons of God" always mens angels. The fact is, sons of God is a term that does not always refer to angels. Therefore, the argument fails.
God (thru Paul) defines sons of God as He sees fit.
Romans 8:14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
Adam being an example of God calling a human a son of God way earlier than Paul.
Plus, the term appears not to be referring to angels at all in Gen 6, if you really think about it. Notice how everyone arguing that Gen 6 is talking about angels must first state a premise (sons of God always = angels) or you don't get angels from the text at all. The problem is, the premise is false to start with.
Angels don't have flesh (or fathers and mothers, BTW) to unite to wives. As has been admitted, they appear/manifest as men, sure.
But men do have flesh including DNA. Manifestations don't have DNA that produce offspring! Angels don't make babies. Small ones or tall ones.
God defines a wife as a female who becomes "one flesh" with a male, not as a woman becoming one flesh with a spiritual "manifestation" of flesh.
The sin here in Gen 6 is about a Rom 8:14 person sinning by taking any ole attractive wife He chooses, not angel DNA come to Earth.
Yes, I know. Some people think that means she was a four time divorced (or widowed) woman. I don't. I think Jesus revealed to her that He knew the secrets of her sex life.How many husbands did the woman at the well have?
Five I believe.
My wife is an angel and we have 3 kids.
