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: I have a degree in literature, but the origins of mythology are obscure. That is what made me think this might be it. In ancient times, story telling was the main way of teaching, recording history, and passing time. Mankind embellishes stories - like the game of 'Truth' played as a child. Since this happened 120 years before the flood, the stories of these children could have been told to the children of Noah's sons as part of the history of mankind and so on down the line of humanity. They were probably embellished to illustrate various morals, explain works of nature, and teach what is basically psychology. This is something else that makes me think that the 'sons of God' were fallen angels. We know that there is no other God, but to the humans at the time, fallen angels would have been gods. The children, 'mighty men of valour', would have been more like Hercules and Achilles. We know that Noah was righteous, but we also know at least one of his sons was not and we know nothing of the sons' wives or what they believed. |
