Hi Patti,

 

In your post called The Limits of Satan's Power at http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/march2012/pattic331.htm you stated the following:

 

"If Satan, the head of all fallen angels, cannot hurt a hair on your head without God’s permission, it is a GREAT DELUSION, to think that God would give the fallen angels permission to mate with human women!!!"

 

I don't think that God gave the fallen angels permission to mate with women either.  The fallen angels sinned by mating with women through their own free will just like we sin with our own free will; otherwise, we (both angels and humans would all be obedient to God, and sinless with no free will to choose between remaining obedient or becoming disobedient to God.)  If angels didn't have a certain amount free will, they would have all remained holy angels which means none of them would have sinned and been chained up under darkness until the Judgment Day (Jude 1:6-7), and the lake of fire wouldn't have been prepared for the devil and his angels (Matthew 25:41).

 

Although I previously pointed out to you that Satan is called "the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan" in Rev. 20:2, I know you think that Satan entered into the body of the serpent and had sex with Eve according to your post at http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/march2012/pattic329-2.htm  So what's the difference between Satan, who is the Serpent, having sex with Eve, or Satan entering into the body of the serpent and having sex with Eve?  Satan is still a fallen angel, and according to your statement above, "it is a GREAT DELUSION, to think that God would give the fallen angels permission to mate with human women."  Based on your statement, wouldn't it also be a GREAT DELUSION to think that God would give the fallen angel Satan permission to mate with the human woman Eve by entering into the serpent's body to have sex with Eve?  God doesn't give anyone permission or a license to sin although both angels and humans have free will or the free choice to sin.

 

Actually I don't think that Satan entered into the body of the serpent to have sex with Eve because it's not written in the Bible and Satan is not chained up with some of the other fallen angels although Satan did enter into the body of Judas according to Luke 22:3 & John 13:27.

 

As for "the sons of God" in Genesis 6:2, and 6:4 that came into the daughters of men, and produced children that were giants, I think they were some of the same "sons of God" in Job 38:7 who were with God before the foundations of Earth were created who were the angels.  I think all the angels were all called the sons of God before any of them sinned.  Using their own free will, some of them sinned with human women and produced the giants; and are presently chained up in darkness until the great judgment day.

 

God doesn't want us to sin, but He allows it so that we have the choice to be obedient to Him which shows Him that we love Him or we have the choice to be disobedient.
