Genesis 6:2-3 Display Chapter and Footnotes   2 That the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair, and they took wives of any of them that they chose.1 3 And the LORD said, "My spirit shall not always remain in man or strive with him, for he is flesh; his days shall be only a hundred and twenty years." |
1 the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair, and they took wives of any of them that they chose. From George Fox's Letter# 246:
Marriage is a figure of Christ and his church, as the apostle instanced in Ephesians. And therefore they were not to be unequally yoked, believers with unbelievers. The law of God forbade it; they were not to give their sons and daughters to the heathen, or marry with them, for it grieved the Lord in the old world, and brought destruction upon those bad marriages. When the sons of God saw the daughters of men were fair, and they took them wives of all which they chose, who corrupted the earth, and filled it with violence. But such as mingled with the heathen and unbelievers, and followed strange flesh, they went from the spirit, they lost the sonship; through such the earth was corrupted and filled with violence; and such could not know God's joining, who went from the spirit, and from the law and gospel; and such are mingled among heathens and unbelievers, and follow strange flesh, and corrupt their own, who go from the spirit, by which they have been sanctified and led into the sonship.
And such as marry with unbelievers and heathen, go contrary to the law of God, and grieve him and their righteous parents.
But if you are already married to a non-believer, you are to remain married to them as long as they continue to live with you:
The supposed Book of Enoch is 99% fiction because among other false statements, it claims the reference to "the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair, and they took wives of any of them that they chose" were angels that married human women, who then gave birth to giants; and according to the Word of the Lord within: "demons do not have sex with humans," (and neither do serpents for that matter).
