Contradiction with Matthew 22:30
This verse states that in the resurrection people neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven, suggesting that angels do not engage in earthly relations, contradicting the implication that "sons of God" (seen as angels by some interpretations) took human wives in Genesis 6:2.
Matthew 22:30: But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
Contradiction with Hebrews 1:14
This verse describes angels as ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation, indicating a solely spiritual role that contradicts the physical interaction implied in Genesis 6:2.
Hebrews 1:14: Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
Contradiction with Mark 12:25
Similar to Matthew 22:30, this verse says that when people rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, and are like angels in heaven, contradicting the idea of angels participating in marriage in Genesis 6:2.
Mark 12:25: For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
Contradiction with Luke 20:34-36
Jesus explains that the people of the resurrection do not marry because they cannot die anymore and are like angels; this suggests angels do not marry, contradicting the action of "sons of God" in Genesis 6:2.
Luke 20:34-36: And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
Paradox #1
Genesis 6:2 discusses the "sons of God" and the "daughters of men." A potential theological conflict arises about the identity of the "sons of God." Some interpretations suggest they were angels, which conflicts with other parts of the Bible stating angels do not marry or reproduce. Other interpretations propose they were descendants of Seth intermarrying with the descendants of Cain, or powerful human rulers, leading to different theological implications. This variance in interpretations creates inconsistency in understanding the text.
Paradox #2
Some people see a contradiction in Genesis 6:2 because it talks about "sons of God" marrying "daughters of humans." The conflict arises over who the "sons of God" really are. Some people say they are angels, which seems odd because angels and humans are different beings in other parts of the Bible. Others think they are just descendants of Adam's son Seth, which could fit better but isn't clearly explained. This unclear identity leads to different interpretations and potential inconsistencies with other scripture passages.
Paradox #3
Genesis 6:2 talks about the "sons of God" marrying the "daughters of men." The contradiction or conflict might arise from different interpretations of who the "sons of God" are. Some might see them as angels, while others think they are descendants of Seth. This difference in understanding can lead to debates about the nature of these beings and their role in the biblical narrative.
Paradox #4
The concept of "sons of God" intermingling with "daughters of humans" could be seen as conflicting with modern scientific understanding of human reproduction, which doesn't recognize non-human or divine beings as part of the process. Science supports human reproduction occurring solely between humans.
Paradox #5
Genesis 6:2 might be seen as morally conflicting because it portrays the "sons of God" taking "daughters of men" as they chose, which could be interpreted as unequal relationships where consent and autonomy may not be clear or respected. This raises questions about power dynamics and the integrity of personal choice.
