Hi Patti C...I know that the Book of Enoch is not part of man's "canon" of the Bible, but I believe God specifically pointed out to us in Jude 1:14 that we should pay attention to what Enoch wrote about.  Without that information, little is known about the fallen angels and what happened during that time.  We are also told to pay attention to the Book of Jasher...see Joshua 10:13 and II Sam 1:18.  I also found out in the Book of Jubilees that God "shut the mouths of the animals"....and that brought to my mind how the "serpent" in the garden could actually communicate with Eve.  People determined those books weren't "inspired"....but what did God say about them?  By the way, Strong's Concordance is not "inspired", but we sure do use it a lot, don't we?

I love the detail you include in your studies...especially about the Garden of Eden.  However, when you say that the "sons of God" are the same in the OT ! and the NT, I feel I must correct this error.  We all know about the "sons of God" in Job 1:6, 2:1, and 38:7.  And basically, it's very simple to define them correctly.  In the Bible, the first "son of God" in this present world was Adam, as he was directly created by God.  The next "sons of God" in the Bible were the fallen angels, as they were also the direct creations of God.  Then, in the NT, the "sons of God" are those who are saved by the Blood of Jesus.  They are an "indirect" spiritual creation of God.  Anything thought out very basically is closer to the truth.  Sons of Cain, or Seth, or any mortal man cannot be called "sons of God" because they are sons of Men at birth.

Otherwise, you are doing great research work, and I really enjoy reading all those posts....

YsiC,
