Subject: The Sons of God in Genesis 6:1-4 |
Bible Note: Hello, I must disagree with parts of what was stated. As for your insight into Genesis 4:24, I have not come across that before. I'll check into it. As for Seth's line perishing in the flood, this is incorrect. Noah, being a decendant of Seth, carried on the Line. The Line of Seth continued. As for Genesis 6 not referring to the line of Seth, there is stronger support for the line of Seth than there is for the possibility of it being angels. As I have shown throughout this thread, the thought that Angels married humans is not only not supported in Scripture, but goes against the Scripture as well. Then you have the fact that angels are never identified directly as the "sons of God". As for the Niphillim, the text reveals that they existed at the time. Nothing, other than it being a time reference, can be concluded from the text of genesis 6. The only other usage for "niphillim" is in Numbers 13. Due to the great flood separating the historical context of these two passages, it is highly unlikely that the two passages are of talking about the same group of niphillim. At best, the term "niphillim" can be descriptive in nature. As for Matthew 24:37, the point Jesus was trying to make is that his coming will be unexpected, as he explains in the following verses. This isn't connected to the topic at hand. At best, the idea that Angels came to earth, against God's will, mated with humans, and produced superhumans is pure conjecture and is not, nor can be supported in any fashion. The only explaination for this passage is that it is referring to the Line of Seth which will ultimately bring the Christ to us, as is noted in the Geneology in Luke. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |
