Bible Question:
prayon, Would you please provide some scripture to support your answer? I have always been taught that the "sons of God" in this case were fallen angels, Gen 6:4. THANK YOU! Cyclist |
Bible Answer: Exceuse the interuption. She said "SOME people believe that the "sons of God" were fallen angels, however the "sons of God" were probably not angels because angels do not marry or reproduce. SOME scholars believe that this phrase refers to the descendants of Seth who intermarried with Cain's evil descendants ("the daughters of humans"). This would have weakened the good influence of the faithful and increased moral depravity in the world. The result was an explosion of evil. "Nephilim" refers to a powerful race of giants. (footnote from the Life Application Bible)" (Capitalization mine). She also cited her source "(footnote from the Life Application Bible)" Finally, this has been discussed before.
