Bible Note: I find this kind of reasoning intriguing! I feel that this could very well possibly be the origin of the concept of gods co-habitating with women. If such a story was handed down through generations, then this would lend support to the credence that not only was the story known, but the Bible must have been known also! I have never really considered this passage from this angle, and I appreciate you for bringing this topic up. I for one agree that if the concept of Zeus (for instance) having relations with human women had any originality at all (any 'kernel' of truth), then it must be here in Genesis 6:4. So, even though we may not agree on the actual history of this verse, we can agree on how this verse has had an effect on mythology and history through the ages. We will have to ask our precious Lord about our theory when we see Him.. This was an interesting discussion!As for our other topic, I may post as a new question my view of Genesis 6:4.
