Sons of God

In reading Bible Gateway's daily passage the other day, about the good things that come from heaven, as recorded by James in chapter 3, I thought about the peacemakers that Jesus taught about in his beatitudes, when he said that they will become (sons) of God, and I realized that sons of God are not angels, as generally thought about from Genesis 6.4. This is a big revelation, and would turn the conspiracy community upside down. 

Major theologian players and saints have taught that sons of God mean angels, or even that they were descendants of Seth (Good), and that the daughters of men were descendants of Cain (Evil). This as well must be erroneous, for God does not choose favourites.

As Luke writes, sons of God are LIKE angels. We are not, in fact, angels. Many false paths could be dug up, if we as a society (for there are many of us, from New Age to Christian to possibly even Agnostic) would recognize that humans and angels are interspecial. I would like to be an angel, people have tended to call me one, in fact. But if anything, I am a prophet. We are humans, and the best that we can do, is aspire to be a peacekeeper, so that we might enjoy the fruits of the angels.

There is a reason why the peacemaker receives the highest award for his works, because to keep peace is to constantly come from a place of love, and as Paul said, the most important gift that we may give, and inso then receive, is love.

In the meantime, there is nothing wrong with being human. Yes, it is unglamourous and painful and at times even crude, but we who have been baptized know that we are the Lord's prized possession. And that, is certainly worth living for.
