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 Question: I have had someone ask me a question recently. Are there or has there been "souless" beings on the earth. i think she is talking about genesis Chapter 6. but i was under the impression that the "fallen ones" refered to fallen angles. ? |
Bible Answer: Genesis 6:2-6, 2Peter 2:4,5 - angels are sometimes referred to as sons of God in scripture and, yes, 6:2-6 refers to the fallen angels who had children with the human women creating a race of giants. I've heard it suggested that Goliath may have been one of these, remember he was 9' 4" tall - a pretty big guy - and mean (1Samuel 17). As far a souless, I find that scripture says animals have no souls which keeps them from heaven. Since angels are in heaven and hell because they have a choice, just as we do, do they not also have souls? Although, once they make their choice to turn away from God, there is no turning back for them. Jesus died for us, not them (John 3:16). Thus, our redemption comes from Him. They have none. Lucky us. Thank you God. |
