Bible Note: Granma_ota, you must forgive me! I have obviously made a mistake when I said "daughters of Cain". I should have said "daughters of men" like the verse says. I thank you for pointing this out. I have proven my 'imperfectness' once again. :)However, I still disagree with you about the 'sons of God' issue, and I am prepared to voice my point of view, either on this discussion or on another, stemming from Isaiah 43:6. I do respect your point of view, though, even though we don't see eye to eye on this issue.But I am afraid that we have seriously gotten off topic and away from your original question, which was about Greek mythology and how the origins of that may have had their beginnings in an early understanding of Gen. 6:4 as being 'angels of God'. For an in depth reasoning on the origins of Greek and/or Roman mythology, I am an ill-suited an unprepared person to help you regarding that. Is anyone an English major/professor that can help us? |
