I have been reading Genesis 6. The phrase sons of God is mentioned twice. Once in vs. 2 and again in vs. 4. Who is this referring to? It seems that they are not talking about the men of the human race. If that is true then who are they talking about? | ||||||

Greetings Misch I believe that the sons of God refer to the godly line of Seth. It would appear as the population of this line of people "who called upon the name of the Lord", that the godless line of Cain also mutiplied. It appears that this marriage between the two lines was grievous to the Lord. I do not think that these are fallen angels "who kept not their first estate (Jude 6) Angels are usually sexless in gender and marriage is unknown among them (Matt. 22.30) The sinful state of the earth of that time was very great and was destroyed by the flood except for 8 souls.

Robert If it was humans then how did their offsprings become giants. vs. 4 In those days, and even afterward, giants lived on the earth, for whenever the sons of God had intercourse with human women, they gave birth to children who became the heroes mentioned in legends of old. (New Living Trans.) Nothing says that Seth's line were giants or any other special characteristics. |

Greetings Misch. I agree that gaints could be heros. I am going to paste a commentary by Jamison, Fausset, and Brown: . "the sons of God saw the daughters of men--By the former is meant the family of Seth, who were professedly religious; by the latter, the descendants of apostate Cain. Mixed marriages between parties of opposite principles and practice were necessarily sources of extensive corruption. The women, religious themselves, would as wives and mothers exert an influence fatal to the existence of religion in their household, and consequently the people of that later age sank to the lowest depravity. 4. giants--The term in Hebrew implies not so much the idea of great stature as of reckless ferocity, impious and daring characters, who spread devastation and carnage far and wide." I have noticed that the gaints of scripture are never referred to in a positive way. |
