Son’s of God – Angel or Human?
Genesis 6 – Son’s of God – Angels, or human ? – E. Kantzsch, in “Gesenius’ Hebrew Grammar” (1922:41x), states that “ben” (of benei haelohim), properly means “beings of the class or tribe of elohim,” or “angels,” not “son’s of God,” because “son” actually refers to “adherents,” whereas “ben” denotes membership. The Jewish priests, who were totally opposed to pagan polytheistic stories about “gods,” translated the Hebrew “benei haelohim” (son’s of God) as “angels” in the Septuagint (Hebrew to Greek around 300 BC), because these beings were supernatural, and not human.
Pastor Gerry has been asked to bring the message to the Jewish community of Beit Ariel for Hanukkah this year. Pastor Gerry will be the first person to ever bring God’s message to the Jewish group for their Sabbath. This Hanukkah message was first given in 2006, and was discussed on nationwide radio, and later on Reno TV. For those of you that may have missed Gerry on nationwide radio last month discussing the book Science, Origins, & Ancient Civilizations, you can hear it on-line at swrc.com – click on broadcasts, and look for November 23 and 24, 2009. If you want to hear the discussion of the Hanukkah message, you can hear it on-line at swrc.com – click on broadcasts, and look for December 5, 2007.
