Subject: The Sons of God in Genesis 6:1-4 |
Bible Note: Dear Tim, I am confused by your response, "If the line of Seth was unable to survive past the flood, would not the same be true of the Nephilim? So, no matter who the Sons of God were, their offspring must have perished during the flood!" I read what Discipled wrote and he didn't say Seth's line was unable to survive the flood. We do know for sure that Seth's line survived the flood, in the being of Noah. He is asking Jesusman to support his position that instead of angels taking wives of men, Jesusman has chosen to believe that the giants are a by product of the descendants of Cain and Adam mixing blood lines. Discipled also addressed your question regarding whether or not the Nephilim(giants) made it through the flood by quoting Gen 6:4 Gen 6:4 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. NAS The above verse says Nephilim were on the earth in those days(Noah's days before the flood) and also afterward (this implies after the flood) as Discipled already stated. By the understanding of Gen 6:4 it appears there were two irruption of angels and the after the flood trace is also stated in Gen 6:4 by the fact that they became the mighty men(gibbor), men of old is how we can find them(giants) after the flood in Scripture.
