wjohn, Hi You will get your answer in Genesis 6 starting at verse 1. Verse 2 says the sons of God. Sons of God here is Angels. Angels are called spirits in Ps.104:4, Heb.1:7,14 for spirits are created by God. Verse 4, specifies Giants after the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. But verse 2 tells you their lust for the daughters of men, and they took wives of all which they chose. They are Nephilim meaning fallen ones from naphal (to fall). I hope this helps.

Angels? Sorry, doesn't fit. Look at my note on Genesis 6:1-4 about the identity of the Sons of God. It will explain most of this for you. As for the Niphillim being the children of the Sons of God and Daughters of Men, you need to read the passage again. It clearly says that the Niphillim were on the earth when the Sons of God came to the Daughters of Men, and that the Niphillim continued to exist after that. So, the Niphillim weren't the offspring, they are given as a time reference so that you may know when this even took place. The original audience for Genesis would have clearly understood the reference. The offspring were the Mighty men of Old and Men of Renown, Not the Niphillim. Jesusman |

Jesusman, My mistake on the fact that Giants were already there in those days. It clearly says that in Gen.6:4, They became Mighty men after the Sons of God came unto the daughters of Men. Thanks for showing me that. In the Love of the Father, Serenetime | ||||||
