As humans we are potential (begotten) sons and daughters of God. However we can be aborted. We are the called elect and are not the same category as the sons of God spoken of in Gen 6 or Job 1. Fact: Heb 1:1-5 & vs:13-14, God at no time ever called the angels His sons, they were created to serve the God family and His future offspring and to serve humans, tending them as a nurse or midwife tends an expectant mother and her babe both prior and after birth. The phrase "Sons of God" refers to one of two things. One is that ordinary human beings are called the "Sons" or the "Children" of God, {Rev.14, Matt 27:51-52, Heb 11; Rev. 7} The other group are created spiritual beings in heaven with a special rank that designates them as the "Sons of God" (though, NOT angels).

The word angel at times denotes usually a spiritual messenger but at various times it has also meant a human messenger sent from God with a warning. Strong's Concord anceaggelos: an angel, messenger Noun, Masculine Transliteration: aggelos. Definition: a messenger, angel: generally a (supernatural) messenger from God, an angel, conveying news or behests from God to men, a messenger or delegate – either human (Mt 11:10; Lk 7:24, 9:52; Gal 4:14; Js 2:25) or (a celestial angel); sent (by God) to proclaim His message.(ággelos) is used 176 times in the NT (usually heavenly angels), the context determines whether a human or celestial messenger is intended. For example, (ággelos) in Rev 1:20 can refer to heavenly angels or (perhaps prophets) of the seven churches. (ággelos) can refer to "a human messenger" (John the Baptist, Mt 11:10, quoting Mal 3:1; see also Lk 7:24, 9:52). /ággelos (plural, angeloi) refers to heavenly angels over 150 times in the NT, spiritual beings created by God to serve His plan. Rev 2, 3, "angels" seems to refer to heavenly angels that serve God in conjunction with these seven local churches. (Rev 1:2:) – "Probably 'the angels of the churches' (Rev 1:20, 2:1.). really angels, and not prophets." (DNTT, Vol 1, 103).

Rev 19:10 "And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, 'See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy' " The scene repeats in Rev 22:8-9, This is person was not an angel {Matt 27:51-53. Rev 14. Heb 11} But rather as he states I am your fellow servant someone who had been or was human, a prophet of old? An Elder of the first fruit First Covenant. From the Old Testament which is one of the two lampstands, the other lampstands is the New Testament Covenant and these two flocks will be brought together when Christ returns.

God, the Father of all, the Supreme being; Second is Christ his first born among many brethren and high priest of God known as Melchizedeck, Son of God. He stood with the Father as co-creator. Christ was the word, John 1:1 who spoke creation into being. Before Humanity there is the God family and the "Sons of God" or princes of God. This appears to includes females who were of the divine God family. Gen 1:26-27. This scripture shows they were spiritual implying both male and female. These are named; Melechizedek who is our high priest as well as Savior, King of King, Lord of Lords; Michael and the angels He had charge over (Michael is an Archangel a caretaker or overseer of angels) who fought a war in heaven with the dragon, (Lucifer known as Satan the devil and Satan and his 'angels the demons' were cast out of heaven. Rev.12:7, Gabriel another Son of God a messenger used such as announcing the birth of Christ. Luke 1:19, Gabriel was sent with the message to announce the arrival of the Messiah's birth. Most believe he is one of seven Archangels and he and Michael are the only two besides Melchizedeck mentioned in the KJV bible.

The Apocrypha books of Enoch & Tobit mention 5 other Archangels, Raphael, Urial, Raguel, Zerachiel, and Remiel. Michael and Gabriel are the only ones Mentioned in the KJV and other bibles. All Seven are believed to be the Seven Archangels of the end time who each in turn blows the trumpet in the last days. These are actually NOT Angels but overseer's care takers of the angels and have charge over all the angels of other ranks. Such as Cherubim, Seraphim. Arch Angels are "Sons of God," princes like Christ and Like Lucifer before iniquity was found in Lucifer. Michael and Gabriel are sons of God as is Lucifer/Satan. Job 1:1 & Job 2:1, Job 38:7, these scriptures show there are many sons of God and Satan was among them. Satan, like other angels, was created by the direct hand of God (Ezek 28:13), and therefore he too is a "son of God," (Job 1:6). Satan addressed Jesus as the "son of God," and yet Satan still believed that by tempting Jesus, he might cause Jesus to sin, and thus (like Satan) become a fallen son.

Satan failed due to his iniquity of coveting; and forfeited his position; given instead to Christ who qualified after Satan caused Adam and Eve to sin. Satan hates humanity and wants us all to fail. The bible speaks of other sons of God.

For centuries many believed the Greek, Roman, & Norse Gods as myths. However these "gods and their offspring" (half human/half god referred to as the Nephilim born via "The Sons of God" and human women were real and were drowned in the Flood in Noah's day.) Some names have carried into the days of our week. Woden's Day, Thor's Day, and Fria's Day. The Greek and Roman culture, Jupiter/Zeus, Ares/Mars, some of the offspring these "demi-gods", or semi-humans, names have withstood the test of time Hercules, Perseus, and Achilles. Females Diana/Venus Greek/Roman deities Viking/Norse Gods Zeus Jupiter King of Gods/ Odin,Woden, Frigg, god of war queen of heaven, Hera/Juno Goddess of Marriage Thor, & Sif, god of thunder queen of harvest; Poseidon /Neptune God of the Sea/ Baldur and Nanna god of light, queen of fertility; Cronos /Saturn Youngest son of Uranus, Loki an evil giant and Sigyn; Aphrodite /Venus Goddess of Love Aegir is married to Ran.

When people began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born, "The Sons of God" left their first estate (the spiritual realm). Jude 1:6. (CEV Gen 6:4) The children of the supernatural beings "Sons of God" who had married these women became famous heroes and warriors. They were called Nephilim and lived on the earth at that time. Num. 13:33, I Sam 17:4. The above "Greek/Roman" mythical gods actually existed in Noah's day, the stories were passed down from Noah's children. These created beings were not, angels but rather, "Sons of God." Hebrews 1:1-5, vs 13-14. The heavenly angels are not, nor ever have been called the sons of God. 2 Pe 2:5, "And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly." This is why God flooded the earth. The Hebrew words for the "sons of God" is B’nai Ha Elohim, these are Heavenly beings but not angels. Christ is not an angel, but was chosen to be the Messiah, the one promised the Anointed King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and Savior of humanity.

The "Sons of God," like Christ, are "princes" of God. Their "Fellowship" gives them a royal relationship with Christ. They are equals of Christ by being family members in the God family. Equals of Christ, Christ’s brothers in heaven, while Christ is the Firstborn, a designation rank over them because of His Firstborn position. Paul stated they were "Fellows" of Christ. Associated with Christ even before His birth in Bethlehem. They were His brothers as far back as: Psa 45:6-7, "Thou love righteousness, and hate wickedness: therefore God, your God, has anointed you (Christ) with the oil of gladness above your fellows. Heb 1:7 -9.

Michael was mentioned in Dan 10:13, then in Dan 21, Jude 9, and Rev 12:7-8. Gabriel in Dan 8:12, Dan 9:21 in the OT. In the NT, Gabriel announced John the Baptist’s birth to Zechariah in Luke 1, then Jesus’ birth to Mary. These other spiritual beings in the divine Family of God associated with Christ in heaven were His "Fellows," In many ways like Christ. In the KJV, the word "Fellows" in Hebrew is chaver; and means companions, being equal partners to one another. The word means to be "knit together" (chaver) in the same fellowship and appearing as "one man" in rank and position. (Jud 20:11).

There are other "Sons of God" in heaven. "Sons" of the Father and brothers of Christ. Christ, is the firstborn (legitimate) Col 1:15. He "has been anointed .above your fellows." Christ was created as a Firstborn "Son." Adam was created a firstborn physical "Son of God." Luke 3:38. The other Sons of God are NOT intercessors between humans and the Father. Only Christ is our mediator. 1 Tim 2:5; Rom 8:34. The "Sons of God" of the Old Testament are parallel to the "Morning Stars" in Job as rejoicing when the earth was created. They are not angels; they have the same designation as Christ. Christ is called "the Bright and Morning Star." A name that had belonged first to Lucifer, until iniquity was found in him. Eze l 28:15; Rev 22:16. Christ is called the "day spring." Luke 1:78 and "day star," 2 Pet:1:19. These "Morning Stars" (Sons of God) were with Christ at the earth’s creation, Job 38:7. Christ is called a bridegroom with the splendor of the Sun in His glory, Psa 19:4–5.

The "Sons of God" gather at scheduled times before God, sometimes for judgment. Psalm 82 shows a judgment of them for injustice. Satan appeared among them,because though fallen from grace, still a created son of God, Job 1:6 and 2:1. Though these other "Sons of God" are in existence, we know from later revelation, Christ is the One sitting at the right hand of the Father, Col 3:1. Christ’s rank was made higher still by becoming a human and then returning to His divine status after His resurrection. Christ is exalted in rank above His "Fellows." He was the only one legitimately allowed to become flesh by being born of a human female (Mary). It is by physical birth that potential human Sons of God are created, it is by their resurrection from the dead that humans acquire a divine status as spiritual Sons of God. They are princes and Christ their brother was chosen to be King of all. Not all princes become kings, but they are still part of the Royal family.

Christ at that time was, the "only begotten" Son of God, John 1:14, 18; 3:16, 18; 1 John 4:9. All others are created "Sons" spiritual. Not one of the other created "Sons of God" has ever been born of a human woman. Jesus gave up His majestic position in heaven to be born into this world. Philip 2:6–9, "Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also has highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name."

The other "Sons of God" are "Fellows." Heb 1:9. Spiritually created "Brothers" of Christ, part of the God family. Equal members of the Household of God. Christ has become our mediator. 1 Tim 2:5. Some of them are referred to in Gen 6:1–4 and Job 1:6, 2:1 and 38:7. They are higher in power than any angel. Angels carry the general name "stars." Rev 1:20. But angels are NOT the "Morning Stars." Not one angel has been elevated by God to be a "Son of God." Heb 1:4–14, nor to be a "Bright and Morning Star," Rev 22:16. Only those spiritual entities who reside within the Household of the Father are called "Sons of God" and designated as "Fellows" of Christ. Heb 1:9 and Psa 45:6–7. Like humans in appearance and function they are able to have sexual intercourse with the daughters of men and produce offspring.

"There were giants in the earth in those days [before the Flood] and AFTER THAT. "Gen 6:4. Those "Sons of God," were not angels but brothers and fellows of Christ Jesus, able to have sex with human females and impregnate them. They have the same body characteristics and somatic (bodily) functions as human beings. They look and perform like humans though their bodies are composed of spirit substance. They do not have the same earthly flesh humans presently possess. They resemble God the Father. God is described in scripture as having a body that appears like that of a human male. Scripture records that God has shape and form, and that we humans resemble God in His image. Gen 1:26–28. God the Father is a Spirit, He still has shape and substance. God has a body that occupies space, but it is a spirit essence (an aura) that extends outward to embrace the totality of space in the universe. Psa 139:7–12.

Humanity tends to limit our thinking of "spirit" as a gaseous state, such as air which we call wind, John 3:7–8. But the "spirit" can be liquid like "water," Acts 10:45."Spirit," can manifest itself in a solid state with form and shape. Rom 8:26–34, Christ shows that both entities occupy space (both sit on thrones); Christ sitting on the Father’s right hand. This shows even in heaven, the body of God is in a solid state. God has the anatomical appearance of a male human being. He appears expressly like Christ did, — Heb 1:3. John 14:9.

The "Sons of God," Genesis 6, have features identical to human males. God is the Father of the "Sons of God," they appear like the Father. They had regular meetings with God and Satan made his appearance with them. All of them counsel and speak with God, Job 1:6; 2:1. They have the same spiritual substance as the Father and Christ Jesus. Humans are promised at our resurrections from the dead, 1 Cor 15:52, we will be changed into that same spiritual substance. "Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body, according to the working whereby He is able even to subdue all things unto Himself." Phil 3:21. Our bodies will be raised in a non-deformed state and our spirits (brought back to life) will be placed in a new changed body, made whole and complete. Males will resemble the Father and Christ Jesus. Phil 3:20–21, who both have the appearance of human males (Stephen saw them in Acts 7:56). We will then have bodies composed of spirit with definite shape and form, occupying space. We will be like the Father and Christ who are both Spirits, Rom 8:26–27; John 4:24, yet they display precise shape and form so that Christ can be seen standing or sitting on the right hand of the Father when He makes intercession for us to the Father. Rom 8:34. One Spirit is groaning and crying before the other Spirit.

So much does the Father look like a human male, that if we would see God the Father undressed, He would appear like an ordinary human male in an anatomical and somatical manner — God is not ashamed of His body, as are many humans. Paul reveals God considers the genitalia of male and female humans to be unashamedly the most "comely" parts of our bodies. 1 Cor 12:22–24. Female humans will have their bodies resurrected from the dead and continue to be female in shape and form, made whole and complete without deformities. Dorcas was resurrected as a female with all her female anatomical characteristics, Acts 9:36–42. Women will still be women. However, NOT subject to men as their wives. Like angels we will not marry, but it does not mean we won't have gender or be unable to have sex if/or when God the father allows it to be something He wants done. The very fact "The sons of God left their natural estate in Gen 6 shows that in time that was possibly what God intended in the future.

MESSENGER The Greek word angelos and the Hebrew word מֲלְאָךְ (malak) are both masculine nouns translated “angel,” meaning a messenger from God (Strong’s 32 and 4397). This may be a human messenger or a messenger of God, an angel or one of the sons of God but they are always masculine. The context must decide the right translation. Hag 1:13 The prophet is called God's messenger; Job 33:23 changes the King James Version to "angel" (margin "messenger"); and Mal 3:1 suggests "angel" instead of "messenger." Mal 2:7 and Mal 3:1 (twice) have caused a great deal of comment. See MALACHI. The Greek apostolos, "apostle," is rendered "messenger," 2 Cor 8:23; Philip 2:25; 1 Sam 4:17. Translations literally, from Hebrew basar, "to tell good news," "he that brought the tidings." Gen 50:16 reads "message" instead of "messenger."

Those angels (actually sons of God; fellows of Christ,) were mentioned by the apostles in the context of rebelliousness in which the ungodly gave "themselves over to fornication and going after strange flesh [flesh that was foreign to them]," Jude 7. They were walking "after their own ungodly lusts"” 18 "Who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit." 19. Peter and Jude reveal the spiritual powers of these sons were the ones who influenced the humans to do those terrible deeds 6 As for the humans who participated in the rebellion, they were punished by the Great Flood of Noah, and later in scripture when the fires destroyed the region of Sodom and Gomorrah. These "Sons of God" erroneously translated in the NT (Angels) received a severe judgment. "For whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives. If you endure chastening, God deals with you as sons; for what son is he whom the father chastens not?" Hebrrews 12:6–7.

"The Sons of God" Due to their improper behavior are presently undergoing a punishment for a period of time for their rebellion, 1 Peter 3:19-20. By which also He (Jesus) went and preached unto the spirits in prison; 20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, where eight souls were saved by water. 2 Peter 2:4–5 (this should have said Sons of God not angels); Jude v 6 and 7. They have "chains" placed on their bodies that prevent them from movement in the space into which they are confined, 2 Peter 2:4. This is mistranslated as angels when it was the Sons of God who left their natural estate." These "angels" referred to as the "Sons of God" are incarcerated in an area similar to a region called the Abyss. 7 They were chained (shackled) and locked up with a key, Revelation 9:1; 20:1. Satan the Devil will be bound and confined with similar chains for a thousand years, Revelation 20:2, limited to the Abyss. Scriptural facts show rebellious "angels/demons" and Satan occupy space and time, and have chains (made of solid substances) placed on their body parts. They show that they are under restraint.

One of the times of rebellion of the "Sons of God" was at the time of the punishment on Sodom and Gomorrah. In preparation for this particular judgment we are informed in the Bible that three men showed up on Abraham’s doorstep to talk with Abraham and dine with him, Genesis 18:1– 33. One of these men bore the name of YHVH (the name of God )—He was likely Melchizedeck the one who became Christ the promised Messiah. Genesis 18:22–33. The other two were identified as being angels (messengers) and may well have been other sons of God rather than actual angels, Genesis 19:1. They looked like ordinary human beings. Paul cautioned we might entertain those indeed under normal circumstances because some had entertained angels unawares, Hebrews 13:2.

If these Spiritual beings that met Abraham had appear undressed, they would have been observed as male human beings in every way. The men of Sodom were so convinced they were like human beings, they demanded homosexual relationships with them (Angels) that were sent to Lot. Though those two angels were holy and did not participate in such sexual acts. The "Sons of God," other than having spirit bodies, are humanoid in shape and have emotions.

The "Sons of God" at times referred to as "Archangels," (Arch is being above or over angels) in their revelry were going after "strange flesh," after humans who were foreign or strange to them in their body substance, Jude 6–7. Christ Jesus said angels in heaven do not marry, Matthew 22:30. Angels are not meant to marry anything but were created only to serve God and His offspring. However The Sons of God, out of time sequence, sinned and took human women as wives without the authority or permission of God the Father.

In the new government of God when He makes a New Heaven and Earth. There will be children born who will not die. Isa 65:17-25 "I am creating new heavens and a new earth; everything of the past will be forgotten. Celebrate and be glad forever! I am creating a Jerusalem, full of happy people. I will celebrate with Jerusalem and all of its people; there will be no more crying or sorrow in that city. No child will die in infancy; everyone will live to a ripe old age. Anyone a hundred years old will be considered young, and to die younger than that will be considered a curse. My people will live in the houses they build; they will enjoy grapes from their own vineyards. No one will take away their homes or vineyards. My chosen people will live to be as old as trees, and they will enjoy what they have earned. Their work won't be wasted, and their children won't die of dreadful diseases. I will bless their children and their grandchildren. I will answer their prayers before they finish praying. Wolves and lambs will graze together; lions and oxen will feed on straw. Snakes will eat only dirt! They won't bite or harm anyone on my holy mountain. I, the LORD, have spoken!"

Rev 21:1-7 "I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth had disappeared, and so had the sea. Then I saw New Jerusalem, that holy city, coming down from God in heaven. It was like a bride dressed in her wedding gown and ready to meet her husband. I heard a loud voice shout from the throne: God's home is now with his people. He will live with them, and they will be his own. Yes, God will make his home among his people. He will wipe all tears from their eyes, and there will be no more death, suffering, crying, or pain. These things of the past are gone forever. Then the one sitting on the throne said: I am making everything new. Write down what I have said. My words are true and can be trusted. Everything is finished! I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will freely give water from the life-giving fountain to everyone who is thirsty. All who win the victory will be given these blessings. I will be their God, and they will be my people."

Many people have written articles on the "Sons of God" and have erroneously claimed that they were Angels. However Scripture shows us they are not and cannot be Angels, Why because although the New Testament in Jude verses 6 & 7 state the word "Angels" the person or persons who translated the words into English from Greek or Hebrew put their own "Opinion" in, rather than take the fact from scripture that as Genesis 6:vs 1-4, That the "Sons of God" saw the daughters of Men were fair and took them for wives. Vs 4 After that there were great or giant men born from the union of the Sons of God and the daughters of men. Jude 1;6, while it says they were "Angels" this scripture shows us that these spiritual beings "Left their natural estate, realm," who ever translated the word to "Angels" did so erroneously because "Angels" did not leave their "natural realm or estate" to take wives; however "the Sons of God" did, Genesis 6;1-4. They were along with Christ and Lucifer, created sons of God. They were likely ARCH angels, which are OVERSEER's, above the Angels; their Caretakers. Lucifer was a created "Son of God." He lost his position and glory due to iniquity after the war in heaven with Michael and the other sons of God (likely Gabriel and others not named). Satan had cared for and controlled one third of the angelic beings. Michael being the head captain (with the other Archangels and their charges two thirds of the angels) caused Lucifer/Satan the Devil to lose the War. Lucifer coveted God the father's throne and tried to overthrow the Almighty Father but was along with his angels cast back down to earth; his angels became demonic due to sin and evilness they became corrupt. The Catholic's dogma pervert the truth, because they want to sell a trinity of God the Father, Christ the son, and the Holy Spirit all rolled into one entity. This trinity lie would close the door on Salvation for the "God Family" to grow.

The Father and The Logo's who was chosen to become the Messiah and the Other sons of God were also there they when the Morning Stars that sang when The Father and the Logos/Word who became Christ spoke the Earth and its habitation of Men and animals into being and called it good. In making mankind, it shows that God made humanity to look exactly like the God family. They made both Male, men with sexual organs like the God family and female with sexual organs like the God family there were and are both male and female "Sons and Daughters" of God in the heavenly realm.

However some of them, once Mankind was created and Adam had daughters and Seth and Cain had daughters on the earth. The earth is the realm of Humanity where we reside and were we are born to live out our lives. Some of the sons of God looking down saw how beautiful the daughters of humanity mankind were and coveted them and without the Father's permission took the form of men and laid with sexually and impregnated those women. Genesis:1-4 tells us this, Jude vs 6 clarifies, they left their natural abode or realm and estate. These Sons of God knew it was wrong and out of time and sequence of God's plans. As a result there were "Giant's Born from this union and were Well KNOWN through out the earth and into the heavens." These were not Angels, as we know it is established in Heb 1:1-14. "In times past the word of God came to our fathers through the prophets, in different parts and in different ways; (2) But now, at the end of these days, it has come to us through his Son, to whom he has given all things for a heritage, and through whom he made the order of the generations; (3) Who, being the outshining of his glory, the true image of his substance, supporting all things by the word of his power, having given himself as an offering making clean from sins, took his seat at the right hand of God in heaven; (4) Having become by so much better than the angels, as the name which is his heritage is more noble than theirs. (5) To which of the angels did God say at any time, You are my Son, this day I have given you being? or, I will be his Father, and he will be my Son? (6) And again, when he is sending his only Son into the world, he says, Let all the angels of God give him worship. (7) And of the angels he says, Who makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire: (8) But of the Son he says, Your seat of power, O God, is for ever and ever; and the rod of your kingdom is a rod of righteousness. (9) You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil; and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head more than on the heads of those who are with you. (10) You, Lord, at the first did put the earth on its base, and the heavens are the works of your hands: (11) They will come to their end; but you are for ever; they will become old as a robe; (12) They will be rolled up like a cloth, even like a robe, and they will be changed: but you are the same and your years will have no end. (13) But of which of the angels has he said at any time, Take your seat at my right hand till I put all those who are against you under your feet? (14) Are they not all helping spirits, who are sent out as servants to those whose heritage will be salvation?"

Those fellows were created Sons of God (Not Angels) fellow princes and brothers of Christ the one chosen to replace Satan and become our Messiah, "King of Kings and Lord of Lords." They were princes and created sons of God. They were not Sons of Cain. Why because the Sons of Adam who were Cain and Seth who had children sons and daughters (grandchildren to Adam) only dwelled on the earth which is the same realm the same abode the current natural habitation and estate God made for us humans to dwell on. These created "Sons of God" Fellow Princes with Christ left the Heavenly Realm illegally without the sanction of God the Father; to take the daughters of men for wives and caused giants who were evil to be born and these giants were half men and half god. The were primarily all evil. This is why God the father found ONE man Noah to be righteous: Not Noah's sons nor his wife or daughters-in-law; though God spared those other seven people Only Noah was righteous. This is also why giants even today are found, because the genetic make up went into the ark with some of Noah's family via his sons wives who told stories of the "Men of Renown and the Gods who were their fathers." Which Gods, God the father, the Almighty incarcerated and bound with chains."

Christ visited and spoke to the Sons of God: Some of the "Archangels," His fellow princes, in prison and "preached to them," 1Pe 3:18-22. Because Christ once went through pain for sins, the upright one taking the place of sinners, so that through him we might come back to God; being put to death in the flesh, but given life in the Spirit. (19) "By whom He went to the spirits in prison, preaching to those (20) Who, in the days of Noah, went against God's orders; but God in His mercy kept back the punishment, while Noah got ready the ark, in which a small number, that is to say eight persons, got salvation through water: (21) And baptism, of which this is an image, now gives you salvation, not by washing clean the flesh, but by making you free from the sense of sin before God, through the coming again of Jesus Christ from the dead; (22) Who has gone into heaven, and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been put under his rule. Christ visited His fellow brothers those 'Spiritually Created.' "

Who are the Sons of God?
