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: Greetings Lee! Genesis 6:4 is not referring to fallen angels, but it is referring to the Godly line of Seth that intermingled with the daughters of men. As far as "soulless" beings, the Bible speaks at length on depravity, of humans acting like animals (Deut. 28:53-57, Isaiah 59:14, Matt. 15:19). Depravity is described in Romans 1:28-32 and it is 'enslaving' in 2 Peter 2:13-22. I presume that this depraved malignancy (1 Peter 2:1 [Amplified]) would help to describe someone who seems to be "soulless." We can only pray that the spiritual demonic bondage would be broken in someone with this spiritual condition! Even with that said, purity cannot come from impurity (Job 14:4; 15:14-16) except by the grace of God (Ephesians 2:8). Blessings to you, Nolan |
