The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Demons and fallen angels

I don't know where you get the idea that the covenant people were called the sons of God. If you refer to the book of Job, you'll see that the sons of God referred to the angels. It "IS NOT" clearly about intermarriage between the covenant people and those outside the covenant. I have no problem with you believing that to be true, but I believe you are mistaken, it just does not make any sense in the whole context of the verses. Does it affect our basic beliefs? no, but for me, it gives me a better understanding of what is taking place in this fallen world. Something mentioned by a friend of mine, who doesn't accept this position fully, was that would explain ghostly sightings. Again, I'm just saying for me, I believe it to be true and because of that, I have a better understanding of the spiritual battle we are in.

Another thing I discovered, some times we lock ourselves into a form of thinking and we don't allow ourselves to be teachable. No, we don't want to allow heresy into our beliefs, but also, we don't want to become so set in our thinking that we can't grow in knowledge and understanding. I find that to be the mindset of the majority in the church today and I believe it harms rather than helps. Good intentions going awry. We end up putting ourselves in a box where we are unreceptive to further illumination of the Spirit.

Before you consider me a heretic or leaning that way, I hold to the election of the saints, justification by faith alone etc, etc. I just have a more open mind to God's work in the worlds, both spiritual and physical. We can bumps heads back and forth, but there are no valid/air tight arguments against what I have posted here and elsewhere on this discussion group.
