\ Genesis 6
1. And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters
were born unto them,
2. That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them
wives of all which they chose.
4. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God
came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty
men which were of old, men of renown.

1. Many commentators and Bible teaches that sons of Gods are the angels
, however this is a theological opinion and not what the bible teaches.
2. The sons of Gods were the descent of Seth those who were following the
commands of God.
Who are the Sons of God and The
Daughters of men?
Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present
themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
Job 2:1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present
themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present
himself before the LORD.
Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God
shouted for joy?
It is true that the bible calls angels and being from other worlds are called sons
of God but these could be the sons of God that Genesis chapter 6 is talking
about for the bible clearly teachers that angels do not reproduce. Context is
also important sometimes one word can have more than one meaning.
Genesis 4 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a
man from the Lord.
2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the
ground.
3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto
the Lord.
4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had
respect unto Abel and to his offering:
5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance
fell.
6 And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
If The Sons Of God Are Not The Angels Who Are They Then ?

7 Ifthou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And
unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain
rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
9 And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's
keeper?
10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the
ground.
11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's
blood from thy hand;
12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a
vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.

13 And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and
from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the
earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
15 And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance
shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any
finding him should kill him.
16 And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of
Nod, on the east of Eden.

2. That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they
took them wives of all which they chose.
Jude 1:11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily
after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
Jude 1:12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding
themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees
whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
Jude 1:13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to
whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
\
For although they knew God, they … exchanged the glory of the immortal God for
images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. 24 Therefore God
gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies
among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and
worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions.
Romans 1:20-28, ESV.
\
For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to
nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and
were consumed with passion for one another[4], men committing shameless
acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. 28
And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them
up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.
Romans 1:20-28, ESV.
THE FLOOD
Hebrews 11:7
By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet,
moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house
THE FLOOD
Genesis 7:7
And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’
wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
THE FLOOD
The origin of same-sex attractions significantly predated its rise to the epic
proportions apparent in Sodom four centuries after the flood. However rare gay
practice must have been at its beginning, we find men and boys (na’ar) from
“every quarter” of Sodom involved in the assault on Lot’s home.
As we have already mentioned, four centuries was long enough to lead to a
wholesale adoption of unnatural sexual experiences. Sodom and Gomorrah and
the cities of the same plain, were particularly guilty of immorality. And more
particularly, they were pursuing satisfaction of “unnatural” sexual desires,
Jude’s word for gay desires.
Jude 1:7 just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise
indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an
example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. ESV
Some persons have denied that gay lifestyles ought to be fingered as the leading evil of
Sodom. They quote Ezekiel as pointing to a different collection of sins. “They were proud,
obese, and lazy”, say they, “and unconcerned with social justice.” To this I would reply
that Ezekiel is not arguing with Jude and Moses. Rather, Ezekiel exposes another path to
homosexuality. It was a sinful self-indulging environment, something akin to our
western idea of prosperity, that led to the rise of Sodom’s violent gay mobs.
Ezekiel 16:49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread,
and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen
the hand of the poor and needy. 50 And they were haughty, and committed
abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.
The flames that consumed the cities of the plain shed their warning light down
even to our time. We are taught the fearful and solemn lesson that while God's
mercy bears long with the transgressor, there is a limit beyond which men may
not go on in sin. When that limit is reached, then the offers of mercy are
withdrawn, and the ministration of judgment begins. PP 162.3
The A sin-hating God calls upon those who profess to keep His law to depart
from all iniquity. Neglect to repent and obey His word will bring as serious
consequences upon God's people today as did the same sin upon ancient Israel.
There is a limit beyond which He will no longer delay His judgments. 4T 166.4
Someone says, “How do you divine sexual orientation from the word
‘abomination’”? That is a good question. The convergence of all three lines of
evidence points to this conclusion. Those evidences are the story (below), Jude’s
phrase “unnatural desire,” and the use of the same Hebrew word in the
catalogue of sexual abominations (Leviticus 18.)
In the story Lot entertains angels unawares. We pick up the story after their meal:
Genesis 19:4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom,
compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
Ge 19:5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which
came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
Their evil serves to demonstrate the moral character of the urban center. Moses,
who authored the story of Sodom, also very directly connects Ezekiel’s word for
“abomination” with homosexual practice in the catalogue of sexual perversions,
Leviticus 18. There to’ebhah (abomination) is first used for what God abhors.
(Earlier references are to what Egyptians abhor).
There God’s abhorrence of perverse sexual sin is offered as a leading reason why
God expelled the Canaanites from their land. Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with
mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. 23 Neither shalt thou lie with any
beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to
lie down thereto: it is confusion.
There God’s abhorrence of perverse sexual sin is offered as a leading reason why

mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. 23 Neither shalt thou lie with any
beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to
lie down thereto: it is confusion. 24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things:
for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: 25 And the land
Leviticus 18:24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these
the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: 25 And the land is defiled:
therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out
her inhabitants. 26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments,
and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own
nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
Leviticus 18: 27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which
were before you, and the land is defiled;) 28 That the land spue not you out also,
when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you. 29 For
whosoever shall commit any of these abominations , even the souls that commit
them shall be cut off from among their people.
Leviticus 18: 30 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any
one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye
defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.
When you considering these passages, when you think of Jude’s statement that the
Sodom dwellers were pursuing “strange flesh,” when you read the Genesis story
itself, it is not hard to identify Sodom’s notable sin. In view of these things there can
be no reasonable doubt regarding the meaning of the “abomination” of Sodom
mentioned in Ezekiel 16:50 as the immediate cause of their destruction.
Seven centuries after fire destroyed Sodom, history largely repeated itself
in an Israeli town of Benjamin. Again travelers are hosted. Again the host
is assaulted by would-be gain rapists with a same-sex preference. But no
angels are there, so a victim dies at the hands of the mob. The narrative
ends with the near extinction of the entire tribe of Benjamin.
God authorized and empowered this massacre of those who protected the wrong-doers.
See Judges 19-20. Only a few hundred Benjamite males survived the war. The genocidal
solution to the Benjamite abomination assured that the particular perversion would come
to a dead end. Nevertheless, less than two centuries later, homosexual activity appears
again. The Bible again reminds us that it had been homosexual religious rituals that
warranted the expulsion of the original inhabitants of Canaan.
1 Kings 14:22 And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him to jealousy
with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done. 23 For they
also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every
green tree. 24 And there were also sodomites <qadesh> in the land: and they did according
to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
Two of the next three generations sought to remove the homosexual prostitutes from the land. Asa
“took away the sodomites <qadesh> out of the land,” and his son removed “the remnant of the
sodomites <qadesh> which remained in the days of his father Asa.” 1 Kings 15:12; 22:46. Much later,
the last good king of Judah again took up this work of removing abominations that threatened national
stability. Josiah removed the “houses of the sodomites” that were in the vicinity of the temple. But it
appears he was unable to uproot the gay practitioners from the nation generally.
2Kings 23:7 “And he brake down the houses of the sodomites <qadesh> that were by
the house of the LORD, where the women wove hangings for the grove. 24 And there
were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of
the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.”
Josiah’s children witnessed Babylon’s complete victory over the forces of Judah and the
scattering of the people. The heathen had been cast out of the land for abominations earlier.
Now Judah was cast out for its abominations. The two that are mentioned repeatedly
throughout their history were idolatry and ritual homosexuality.
21For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give
thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart
was darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged
the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible
man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so
that their bodies would be dishonored among them. 25 For they exchanged
the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather
than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
1. Sodomite practices
-Antonio Bernard
“…and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who
practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the
same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice
them.” (Romans 1:32)
26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their
women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27
and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the
woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men
committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due
penalty of their error. (Romans 1:18-27)
SEX AND DISEASE
“ and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function
of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men
with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own
persons the due penalty of their error.” --(Romans 1:27)
WHY OPPOSE SAME-SEX RELATIONSHIPS
Same-sex marriage should be opposed because
homosexuality so inverts God’s design it leads to physical,
mental, emotional, relational, and spiritual ruin.
2. Sodomite practices are
unsanitary, spreading
terrible disease.

“Lesbians can get the same sexually transmitted infections (STDs) as heterosexual
women. Lesbians can give each other STDs by skin-to-skin contact, mucus membrane
contact, vaginal fluids, and menstrual blood. It is important for sexually active
lesbians to be screened for STDs by a health care provider.”

Author: Tonia Poteat, MMSc, PA-C, MPH, PhD. Revised May 2012.
“Women can catch STIs such as herpes, genital warts and chlamydia when
exchanging bodily fluids," says Hunt. "Any one-on-one contact, such as oral sex or
using the same hand when touching yourself and then your partner, can put you at
risk. Two women that are both menstruating are at a higher risk, too.”

Citing a 1999 report released by the Institute of Medicine, an
arm of the National Academy of Sciences, the homosexual
newspaper The Washington Blade notes:
that “various studies on Lesbian health suggest that certain cancer risk factors occur with
greater frequency in this population. These factors include higher rates of smoking,
alcohol use, poor diet, and being overweight.” Elsewhere the Blade also reports: “Some
experts believe Lesbians might be more likely than women in general to develop breast or
cervical cancer because a disproportionate number of them fall into high-risk categories.”
-Rhonda Smith, “Childbirth Linked with Smaller Breast Tumor Size,” The Washington Blade (December 17, 1999).
Monogamous heterosexual activity was created in Eden as God’s plan
for mankind. The couple’s joint worship of their Creator fulfilled the
second of two of the purposes God had for the human body. The first
was to be a physical complement to a spouse. The second was to be a
spiritual complement to the indwelling Spirit of God.
“SAME-SEX MARRIAGE” before The Flood
But from Eden things went downhill fast. God’s plan for marriage gave
way to bigamy (Genesis 4:19), and then to widespread disregard of God’s
wishes even by the descendants of Seth (Genesis 6:1-7.) Then came the
flood. Jewish sources mention same-sex marriage as existing both before
the flood (and also in Moses’ time in Egypt.)
Whether or not these are reliable, we know that by the time of Lot, same-sex
lust was highly prevalent in Sodom. Jude styles homosexual desires as
“going after strange flesh.” Jude 1:7. Men did not want to retain thoughts of a
holy God. So they escaped feelings of conviction by honoring images. God
punished this unnatural worship attraction by an equally unnatural sexual
orientation. Men and women were abandoned to same-sex attraction.
What God illustrated by the destruction of Sodom, Moses spelled out in Leviticus
18 and 20: God condemns homosexual activity and classes it with the deadly
abominations. Soon after the days of Moses, homosexual practice reared its
head in the tribe of Benjamin. The tribe harbored the violent sexual offenders to
their shame and nearly to their tribal extinction. Thus was rewarded their bravado
in facing the wrath of the whole church over their protection of the sinners.
. The gospel adds to Moses’ prohibition a promise of pardon to those who will
turn away from their sin. Joh 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace
and truth came by Jesus Christ. While the gospel offers pardon, it does not
condone the sin. Sexual evils are pointed out and condemned in the epistles.
Among those described are homosexual activities.

those who take the Bible as their rule of life have no reason to be confused
regarding God’s view of same-sex attraction.
THE BIBLICAL PROMISES
It is unnatural. And they have no reason to doubt how God regards
homosexual fantasizing and practice. It is evil. And they have no reason to
hate or despise those who sin sexually. The whole world sins sexually. But
Christians that sin sexually and openly are not to be fellowshipped lest the
moral values of the church be misrepresented. (Disfellowshipped persons
should be loved and cared for. As part of the world, they may be treated with
the same grace extended to other worldly persons. See 2 Corinthians 2.)
COMPLETE VICTORY OVER
EVERY SIN IS ASSURED TO US
“Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of
God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,
nor [a]effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor
drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such
were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but
you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the
Spirit of our God.” - I Corinthians 6:9-11 (NASB)

whosoever looketh on a woman to lust
after her hath committed adultery with
