Bible Question: I would like an explination of Geneis 6. |
Bible Answer: The 'sons of the elohim' (God/angelic beings) were fallen angels, evil spirits with whom women involved themselves in demonic marriage. They were 'the angels who kept not their first estate' (Jude 6). They cannot be 'the godly line of Seth'. Otherwise why were they all destroyed? Their progeny were powerful asnd evil beyond the norm and had to be destroyed. Thus the flood to wipe them out. |
