Genesis 6:2,3 speaks of "the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair ;and they took them wives of all which they chose." Who were these sons of God. And also verse four I don't understand at all. Thanks if anyone can help me understand this better. I've heard rumor of strange things here. | ||||||

The reference for Genesis 6:2,3 at 2Peter 2:4 where it says: Certainly God did not refrain from punishing the angels who sinned... This is the most clear definition of who were being spoken of in Genesis chapter 6. Going by the context of chapter 6 the Nephilim were the sons of the angels who disobeyed. |

Hi, Source... Christian scholars see the Nephilim of Genesis 6:4 as a prediluvian people who were descendants of the sons of Seth and the daughters of Cain. There is an old aphorism that I heard from one of my hermeneutics professors: when the plain sense makes good sense seek no other sense (see post #156918). This aberrant interpretation concerning the Nephilim being some sort of hybrid, has resulted from folks leveraging a single word in a single verse, unsupported by any genuine scholar of scripture since the time of Moses, does not lend itself to a serious exegete. What is clear in the account of Genesis is that the author of the parasite kingdom (Satan) had intentions to disrupt the evangelium of Genesis 3:15. But God, in His sovereign providence, dealt with all of that decisively in the flood. To say much more would be speculative at best. We should teach what the Bible reveals, and all that the Bible reveals, but when the Word falls silent (Deuteronomy 29:29a) then so ought we all. (cf Deuteronomy 4:2; 12:32; Revelation 22:18-19) In Him, Doc |

Hi Doc, you may have been confused I was not asking a question in reference to Genesis chapter 6 I was answering from the Bible. In the Bible is where it gives the context for who the Nephilim were in the same chapter where it talks about disobedient angels taking human wives and those women bearing children. I would think that common sense would tell us that these Nephilim which name means "fellers" being mention in this chapter is not haphazard. They were different hybrid beings by the description and their conduct. The Bible being silent as you said is not a reason to create ideas. I am not concerned with Christian Scholars belief of the Nephilim since in a lot of instances opinions are given as facts to push a person's specific ideology instead of harmonious Bible truth. Ecclesiastes 12:12-14.The Bible does not tell us that our Creator approved of these hybrid men that bully others which is the what came they did during the preflood era.So your effort to draw attention away from the Bible or discredit my referring to it is not Christian nor is your obvious condescending sarcasm. I request if you are not the moderator of this site that you focus on answering questions instead of using using your knowledge to belittle what i had said. If you are a moderator then you should allow everyone to have a say instead of seeking an opportunity to target. | ||||||

Hi, Source... No, confusion here. I followed what you were saying. If you look through the archives, you will see just about every theory you could imagine -- and even some you could never imagine -- mentioned in the forum. There are a lot of the hybrid-man-angel posts. I think there were some folks who thought they were extraterrestrial aliens, too. People can build such gigantic edifices to rest on such a tiny foundation. Yes, we all want a diversity of opinion in the forum -- so long as that opinion is expressed within the confines of our host's Terms of Use. Over the years, however, some dead horses just aren't worth beating anymore. In Him, Doc |
