Bible Question: Based upon my original question concerning people being on earth before Adam and Eve, I would like your insight concerning Genesis 6:1-4, particularly the part concerning "the sons of GOD, vs. the daughters of men." |
Bible Answer: "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." --from A Commentary on the Old and New Testaments by Robert Jamieson, A. R. Fausset and David Brown |
