Yeah...I know it's too long and he does hand distraction..still
A man "who teaches with his fingers" Not one to listen to. Proverbs 6 12:15
The sons of God are NOT angels . They are the righteous line .Mixing with the ungodly line .
Jesus taught that there is no marriage in heaven and there is no male or female. Then angels have no sex either and are neither male or female.
They cannot then procreate children.
Though even as Lucifer was once an angel of light and can project himself as an angle of light . So we hear of the seed of the serpent .
If the seed of the Woman is the Jesus Christ who was the Word made flesh.
Then the seed of the serpent is the word of the devil .
and as Jesus was then the truth and God the father who begat Him.
Then the seed of the serpent is the lie and the devil the father of all lies also.
The devil always seeks to duplicate the truth as closely as possible so as to deceive .
Thus it was "while men SLEPT that his enemy came and sowed tares" Jesus spoke of the kingdom of God .
It is not unreasonable to suppose that Adam was asleep in one way or the other .Either physically or spiritually or both while the serpent was sowing doubt .,confusion and lies in the mind of Eve .
All I n the midst of a religious 'debate' . Many a called Christian forum has such 'debates' where the initial poster appears to be a seeker after light with a question that is of the same nature as the first one ever asked "Yea hath God said............." and in the midst of those debates sows the same seed .
You do then have two seeds though . The wheat and the tares.
and according to the law of the seed which is each seed will bring forth after its own kind "
In the parables of the kingdom we have it sown as a kingdom. One the kingdom of God and the other the kingdom of the devil.
The one producing children of God the other producing children of the devil.
If we understand this parable said Jesus we will understand all parables .
The seed is the Word. The field is the world.
What was sown in Genesis has its fruit or fulfilment in Revelation. Understand the first book and by the same measure you will or can understand in the same measure the last .
Thus we have to root of understanding to the doctrine of predestination.
Not that any are born to one end or the other as some do so wrongly teach and preach.
For ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God .Who then is excluded form the judgement>? and if as Paul says in Ephesians to those who say they are saved ;were we not as all men born or by nature "children of disobedience"?
Who then is excluded from the condemnation?
For what difference is one lump of clay from another taken from the field? There is no difference at all .
It is the potter that makes the difference .Not the clay. If then it is the potter who chooses the lump of clay .In what then does the clay boast in ?
Is it not written the God is a "Husbandman"? Does not a farmer or a good gardener know the difference between one seed or another? and know what the harvest will be of each? if it is sown.
How much the more then does God know the end from the beginning . and is it not written "God is not mocked whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap ?"
If then every seed is predestined to brign forth fruit after its own kind .Then man who was CREATED in the image of God but "BORN in the image of Adam " Gen 5:3.
Then we are born of a seed that is subject to sin and death and corrupted . Thus we are "born in sin and shapen iniquity ."
The consequences is that we are therefore predestined to bring forth corruption unto death. For the wages of sin is death.
Who then is excluded? None .
Thus the imperative "ye MUST be BORN again . "Not of corruptible seed but of the incorruptible seed which is the Word of God "
Now if a corruptable seed is predestined to bring forth corruption unto death . So then by the same law an incorruptible seed is predestined to bring forth righteousness unto life.
For did not Jesus say speaking of himself "unless acorn of wheat fall into the ground and die ,it abideth alone but if it die it bringeth forth much fruit " John 12 :24.
Thus those who are truly BORNagain are not only translated from one kingdom to another but they have also been translated from one predestined end to another as well.
Even as one seed brings forth works or fruit so does the other bring forth another "SORT" and by their fruits shall ye know them.
When my first born son was born ,I looked at him and saw my image in him. He bore my image because I was his father and he came from me .
If I had not been his father he would not have born my image but the image of his true father . But with great joy and thanksgiving to God I picked him up embraced him and blessed him.
When men stand before God He will look for His image in them. That is to say have they received Jesus Christ who as it is written is the express image of the of the invisible God " Colossians 1:15. Or of Hebrew 1:3.
For "he that recieveth me receiveth Him that sent me "
The logic of scripture is that they who reject Him are rejected ..
For if a man finds himself in hell , it is not so much that they have sinned ;for all have sinned .But because they have not believed on HIm who God has sent and if you reject the mercy and the love of God .Then there is only judgement left .
The generation of Noah had no excuse . For Adam was still alive nigh on to the days of Noah and Noah preached righteousness for the 125 years it took to build the ark and by inference if nothing else also a coming judgement that going by the size of it would cover the earth .
But their own wisdom and experience told them ,Noah was a fool for up up to that point it had never rained .
Let alone their own hearts the imagination of which "was towards evil continually " That predisposed them to not believe God in the first place .For it was already too "full of their own ways"
Thus it is written that Noah condemned the world" Hebrews 11:7
For like the message that came to Lot brought him light and deliverance .At the same time it brought blindness and destruction to them that believed not.
Unbelief in God is not just not believing God .It is also believing another and the wrong message .
As it was in the beginning ,so it is now and shall be ,until " the knowledge of the Lord covers the earth as the waters cover the sea"
in Christ
