Genesis 6:4 There were Nephilim (men of stature, notorious men) on the earth in those days--and also afterward--when the sons of God lived with the daughters of men, and they gave birth to their children. These were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown (great reputation, fame). [Num 13:33] |

Bible Note: Yes, I agree with JVM that the 'sons' of God were from the line of Seth who intermarried with the daughters of Cain. I respect granma's position on this, though, because my roommate in college had the same view: that the sons in Gen. 6:4 were angels. But I am a firm believer that the 'fall' of Lucifer and his angels was not in this episode, but much earlier when Lucifer rebelled in heaven because of his envy of God's Throne. I just added the mention of the Nephilim to stir up a discussion, I knew it was not referring to the Dinosaurs even though I believe that the Dinosaurs ARE mentioned in the Bible. And the Zondervan NASB Study Bible is a very good Bible by the way, the same one that I own and use! |
