I don't know where you get the idea that the covenant people were called the sons of God. . . .

hisalone,

Robin's post was right on. Just because the scripture mentions the phrase "sons of God" as refering to angels that does not justify the conclusion that angels had sexual intercoarse with humans making a third race upon the earth. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/dizzy.gif" alt="" /> Matthew 22:30 says that angels "neither marry, nor are given in marriage".

God has spiritual children!

Before you consider me a heretic or leaning that way, I hold to the election of the saints, justification by faith alone etc, etc.

hisalone, no one here has even implied that you are a "heritic" we are only having a discussion.
