Bible Question:
Dear Sir Pent I was referring to Genesis 6. One of them says something like the sons of God married to daughters of men, etc. However, the other version says the Nephilim (angles) married the daughters of men and another version says they were giants. In my mind I mainly just look at other versions and come to my own conclusions (which are usually like most christians). I was just wondering how I would approach my husband since he says I HAVE to stick to that exact version. |
Bible Answer: My answer......................................... Hi dat, Thanks for giving an example of what you are talking about with versions disagreeing with each other. The passage that you talked about is a rather confusing one and has actually been talked about quite a bit on this forum in the past. I'll just give you one interpretation that is a commonly held belief amoung Christians. The versions that you mention are all correct. The word "Nephilim" is simply a title for these particular people talked about in this chapter. "Sons of God" is another name for them, and "giants" is simply a description of them. It is similar to if I said, "The Bronx Bombers played a game yesturday" or "The Yankees played a game yesturday" or "The guys in pinstripes played a game yesturday". All three sentances are true and don't contradict each other. Does that make sense. |
