Bible Question: Is it possible that the nephillim where offspring of the fallen angels? I saw this in a book at the library and Im wondering what you all think. |
Bible Answer: Some people believe that the "sons of God" were fallen angels, however the "sons of God" were probably not angels because angels do not marry or reproduce. Some scholars believe that this phrase refers to the descendants of Seth who intermarried with Cain's evil descendants ("the daughters of humans"). This would have weakened the good influence of the faithful and increased moral depravity in the world. The result was an explosion of evil. "Nephilim" refers to a powerful race of giants.
