1 | The Sons of God in Genesis 6:1-4 | Genesis | Jesusman | 31907 | ||
Hello, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa ... I have never said that the Niphillim are the offspring of the "sons of God" and the "Daughters of Men" marrying each other, or of Cain's line marrying into Adam's Line. I have only claimed that the Niphillim are mentioned in this passage to give a time reference. No more, no less. I said that the "Mighty men of Old" and "Men of renown" are the offspring, and that they and the Niphillim are two different groups. Get you facts straight the next time you try to quote me. Now, as for Genesis 6:4 and the existance of the Niphillim in relation to Noah's Ark. It says that they existed before the time when the "sons" and "Daughters" married, and existed after that event. It also implies that the event took place well before the time of the Flood. The story of the Flood concludes that all life on the earth, except those in the ark, died. So, the Niphillim could not have survived the flood, unless they were on the Ark. That means that Noah and his family were Niphillim, which is NOT supported anywhere in the Bible, or that the Niphillim were animals, or that they died in the flood, in which case it is a moot point.

2 | The Sons of God in Genesis 6:1-4 | Genesis | The Disciple | 32647 | ||
Jesusman, I sent this to our Brother...Tim: If you would please indulge me some: Gen 4:16, Cain LEFT the presence of the Lord and went to start his own family. Gen 4:25, Adam and Eve had a son, named him Seth. Gen 5 now starts the NEW (?) lineage of Adam. And goes thru about a couple thousand years or so?? ( i didnt do the math ...so please dont make a deal of this ) Gen 6 now starts a new and expanded view of what was just read. Very much like Gen 1 - a whole lot of work is done...Gen 2 explains in greater detail what was done. So is Gen 6 an expansion - explanantion of things that took place in the previous Chapter. Since - CAIN has been disowned in chapter 4...all references to "men multiplying" vs 1 of Chap 6 is very likely the line of Seth. Breakdown: Gen 4 Cain is disowned...then Seth is born. Gen 5 ...lineage of mankind is now the topic. Mankind is seen as being specifically the line of Seth. Gen 6 ...is now Cain brought back into the picture?? Or is Gen 6 still following the pattern set up as Mankind (chp 5) from Seth ? I have to conclude that Mankind multiplying is the line of Seth. If daughters are born to them (mankind) then these daughters are in the line of Seth. So now comes the hard stuff? The "sons of God" (line of Seth) came into the daughters of men (line of Seth) ?? Quite the conundrum, ya think? Would love to hear your view on the previous chapters and the context therein. *shalom* D |
