You are assuming that the angels procreated naturally. The Bible says in the times of Noah so shall be in the coming of the Son of Man. If we look today scientists are talking about producing test-tube babies, having gay couples use their DNA to produce children... In the times of Noah the Angles did the same with their own DNA, human DNA, and animal DNA. This was done NOT by sexual relations (tho their offspring could have I suppose) but by advanced knowledge. The book of Enoch quoted in Jude as well as 2Peter tell us they were angels, not man. We see the same name again in Job when it talks of the sons of God and satan came before God. The Bible is really clear about this topic, ANYONE who does not believe Genesis 6 was speaking of Angels should not be teaching others its that simple.

When Lucifer fell he ended up with a physical body, maybe the Angels who fell with him also had a body in the earth and looked like a race of people, bible says we can entertain Angels unaware when entertaining strangers, so they can change into human form, I use to think Gen 1 was another creation before Adam vs Vrs Gen 2 but even if it was the fall didn’t happen yet so they wouldn’t have been falling Angels if the Gen 1 creation is another from Gen 2, giants showing up again maybe offspring of giants in the sea, only earth creatures were destroyed, but what about sea creatures or maybe even flying creatures that might have survived, very deep topic, till this day there’s some people with an unknown blood type, they contain 2-9 % of unknown neg blood type, they have lots of spirit effects as well

Never heard it explained this way, good explanation!! I do not believe angels are the sons of God in Genesis 6 Hebrews 1:5-7 5 For to which of the angels did He ever say: “You are My Son, Today I have begotten You”? And again: “I will be to Him a Father, And He shall be to Me a Son”? 6 But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says: “Let all the angels of God worship Him.” 7 And of the angels He says: “Who makes His angels spirits And His ministers a flame of fire.” Here it is clear that God does not refer to angels as a son and He makes angels spirits. This Passage in scripture seals the deal!!!

Job 2:2, God lost son's to Sa-tan Revelation 12:4, 12:7-11, the main purpose of Man's creation Gen.1:26-27, I s to restore the priesthood of the fallen son's of God, to bring offeriñgs of Love In Righteousness, the fallen son's rebelled and followed the serpent took the seed of a lie, Isa 14:12-15, was a anointed Cherub Ezk. 28:12-19, Ezk.31:1-11, pride and wickedness and covenant breakers, remember they refused to Love Him and followed the vain person, now we have a "New High Priest Matthew 3:15-17, Hebrews 5:5-14, Hebrews 8:1-28 , 9:1-28, 11:12-16 and much more.

Genesis 6:4 is not about fallen angels. The context of the passage never implies angels. In chapter 5 was about Seth offsprings and Cain offsprings. Second, Genesis says that the Nephilims already existed before the sons of God and the daughter of man had their thing. Third, Job 1:6 and Job 2:1 is not about angels presenting to God because Jesus said in Matthew 18:10 that angels are always in the presence of God. The only time sons of God is about angels is in Job 38:7, and the verse explains it to us that there are angels because before it says sons of God, says morning stars. Fourth, king David said that God forms every person in womb and every human is created in the image God. Angels are not created in the image of God, so by saying that fallen angels had sexual relationships with woman is contradicting what God said that every human is created by his image. And my final point is that the book of enoch is not proof of that because that is a false book, is pseudo epigraphy and has contradictions.

Explaining the Nephilim (Hebrew) Nephilim, a Hebrew word meaning 'those who have fallen' or 'the fallen ones. Strong's Concordance for Nephilim (Hebrew) is H5303 and is derived from the word Nephal is H5307. Nephal is to fall, lie or cast down.Naphal is a Hebrew word.Using the Hebrew word Naphal which you get the Hebrew word Nephilim. Job1:20 "Then Job arose, tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he FELL to the ground and worshiped." The word "FELL" in Job 1:20 when translated to Hebrew is the word Naphal. Job also presented God with burnt offerings found in Job 1:5, which is fitting Job 1:5 is right before Job 1:6. Job 1:6 mentions "sons of God" Hebrew use is the Nephilim would fall (Naphal) to the ground like Job 1:20 mentions, so it would be in a state of worship, probably on their knees. In Genesis 6:4 the Nephilim (Hebrew) are in a position of worship or falling to the ground and worshiping. Man has twisted the meaning of the word and changed the meaning of the word "Nephilim" to some a giant form of hybrid. That is how deception works and many are mislead and deceived. By twisting and changing the word Nephilim which is a state of worship towards God,it is now a word that takes away the worship to God and how man worshiped and was presented before God in that day or time period. Man also mixes in the Greek/English word "Gigantes/Giant" to make this sound believable with this giant hybrid. With using both Hebrew and Greek/English there is more than one meaning or use of the words Nephilim and Gigantes/Giants. There is a DOUBLE meaning or a play on words on how the words Nephilim and Gigantes/Giants is used , because of Hebrew, Greek and English or to say which language is used. What Man has done done is remove what God says about years in verse 3 and ignore the giant life spans mentioned in Genesis chapter 5. Man has replaced Years and Giant life spans with height, no different how the Hebrew word Nephilim was replaced and was meant to be a Hebrew use of the word for worshiping God. When a person reads Genesis 6:4 using the words Gigantes/Giants (Greek/English) or Nephilim (Hebrew), the verse is pointing to Genesis chapter 5. Genesis 5 is a Genealogy line from Adam to Noah. Father and son are listed over and over. Genesis 5 is an OFFSPRING list. Genesis 5 is also the "sons of God". Genesis 6:2-4 "2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. 3 And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 4 There were giants (nephilim) 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. When applying Genesis 5 and Context of scripture a person can read and understand Genesis 6: 2-4 more clearly. The "sons of God" took wives and had offspring. When it mentions they took wives could just mean just that, not just the line of Cain's daughters as wives. Although the Seth view does defend marriage between a man and a woman, just how God instituted marriage and is a theme in the Bible that believer should not marry an unbeliever, but never includes burnt offerings. The beginning of Genesis 6 is just basically summarizing the Genealogy line in Genesis 5. It is very fitting that a Genealogy line or a Offspring line is mentioned right before Genesis 6. That same Genealogy line that is written in Genesis 5 can also be found in Luke 3. Luke record the Genealogy line or to say the blood line to Jesus, Who is the Son of God. Luke 3 is a list and many translations in Luke 3 lists the line as "sons of God". The "sons of God" mentioned in Genesis 6:2 and 6:4 are men, Not angels. The "sons of God" are mentioned in Genesis 5. They are "sons of God" because they presented Burnt Offerings to God. Sons would be a theme in Genesis 5 and years would be a theme in Genesis 5. Burnt offerings started with Abel in Genesis 4:4 "Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the Lord respected Abel and his offering," The offering Abel presented to God was probably a burnt offering. These kinds of offerings probably were handed down. Seth stepped in the place of Abel. Seth's name in Hebrew means appointed, a substitute, anointed or compensation. Genesis 5 is the list of the "sons of God" who presented burnt offerings to God. Adam is a direct creation of Adam. Seth is next on the genealogy line all the way to Noah. Noah presents a burnt offering to God in Genesis 8:20 "Then Noah built an altar to the Lord, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. The only way Noah would have known about a burnt offering is that his father would have presented burnt offerings to God. Noah's father was Lamech (Gen. 5: 28,29). Burnt offerings is how man worshiped God, how sin was dealt with and how God made man righteous in His sight. Burnt offerings was the relationship between God and man. The Hebrew "bene elohim" when translated is "sons of God" fits perfectly when a person apply's burnt offerings. Burnt offerings are a foreshadowing of what Jesus did on the Cross. Jesus dealt with SIN on the Cross, that is why believers of what Jesus did on the Cross are "sons of God" or to say children of God. Jesus sacrifice on the Cross supersedes the burnt offerings that were presented in the OT. This all basically comes down to is how God provided a way for the "sons of God' in both the OT and NT with a sacrifice/substitute for sin. A person needs Faith in how God dealt with sin so believers can be called the sons of God or a child of God.

Romans 5 is talking about those that sinned before the law came, from Adam to Moses (by whom the law came). It’s says that “sin is not imputed where there is no law yet death reigned” Adam transgressed a direct commandment of God, up untill the law came by Moses there was no commandment given to those who had already died. Even though they hadn’t directly transgressed like Adam, death ruled over them anyway as part of the curse and fall of man.

You have some good points but also some misconceptions about verses. It's easier to explain if you just do the obvious and take apart the scriptures misquoted. Questions: 1) Why was Cain's lineage recorded? Not in details ( with ages). Didn't Adam and Eve have more sons and daughters? 2) Why such details in Seth's lineage? Who was the father of Adam? What does in the image of Adam mean? See Luke lineage of Christ. Adam the son of God. 3) How many times is the word Man or men used in Genesis 6? Why no punishment given to angels in Genesis 6? 4) Why does Jude and 2 Peter equate Noah flood with Sodom and Gomorrah? Were fallen angels responsible for that? 5) What does Hebrew 1:5 mean? Why was Satan among them but not counted as one in Job? 6) Does man 120 years mean his lifespan or the 120 years it took Noah to build the ark? 7) Where actually does the word Nephilite come from? Was it original Hebrew word? 8) How many times does the words Son or Son's of God refer to men in the entire Bible?

Job 38:6 & 7 explaining the "sons of God" The "sons of God" have never been angels. In the OT how man presented themselves before God is with burnt offerings. Seth and other patriarchs probably presented burnt offerings to God. Burnt offerings dealt with sin, was a form of worship and was the relationship between God and man. Job 38:7 “When the morning stars sang together And all the sons of God shouted for joy? -Morning stars are referring the heavens and the Celestial, meaning what God created in the heavens. -sons of God refer to man or to say God's Terrestrial creation on the earth. This verse shows 2 groups in 2 locations. Heavenly realm and those on the earth. Also in Job 38:6 they sang and shouted because the cornerstone was laid. The cornerstone is Jesus. It is a reference of Jesus. John 1:1-5 " In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it." Jesus existed before creation and existed in the beginning like John chapter 1 says. Job 38:6 "what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone," A person needs to apply the preceding verse, Jesus is the cornerstone. Job 38:7 is in response to the cornerstone which was laid. Since the cornerstone is laid it has to deal with eternity, not just the beginning of creation, even though Jesus was present when creation begin. A person can say it deals with past, present, and future. Time is wrapped up in Eternity. Basically this deals with all of eternity for all of the ages. Most people just focus on Job 38:1-5, and IGNORE Job 38:6 The morning stars refers to the heavenly, probably angels in Job 38:7, sons of God refer to those on the earth in Job 38:7. The reason the heavenly sang and those on the earth shouted for joy is in reference to the Cornerstone (Jesus) and His Eternal Presence. Shouting for joy in the Bible usually refers to man. Leviticus 9:24 (NKJV) and fire came out from before the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. When all the people saw it, they shouted and fell on their faces. Leviticus 9:24 (NIV) Fire came out from the presence of the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar. And when all the people saw it, they shouted for joy and fell facedown. The NIV uses "shouted for Joy", the sons of God presented burnt offerings. More verse about Shouting for Joy and Rejoicing Always refers to MAN. Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Psalms 51:12 David cried unto the Lord, "Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit." When a person reads the OT, the animal sacrifices that were presented is just a foreshadowing of who and what is to come. The who is Jesus and the what is His Living sacrifice. Jesus was a Living sacrifice on the cross for sin, no different than the animal sacrifices presented before YHWH were sacrifices for sin. Jesus is now the New Covenant, no need for animal sacrifices for sin. We all should shout for Joy for righteousness and salvation that only God can provide.

My take on this subject is that it was not already fallen angels mating with the women but rather Holy Watcher angels that had the ability to take on human form to interact with the humans on earth. They were fine until Satan enticed them to desire the women for themselves and they fell from their position at that time. Satan also enticed the women to ' lure ' them in. I believe Satan, Lucifer, could not perform the act himself so he got others that could to do it for him. All for the purpose of destroying the seed of the woman to bring forth the one who would ' bruise his head '

Excellent discussion. I agree with you and have had this view for many years. Adam and Eve being perfect fulfilled God's command to be fruitful and multiply (to procreate) so they had children before the fall as these were the sons of God in Genesis 6. Great explaining this view compared to the other views. Very fair and balanced and I believe this will encourage other Christians to study God's word more and to get them thinking.

Do not believe so. Why can't we just go by the Bible? Why list Cain's lineage? Didn't Adam and Eve have other son's? Why lineage of Seth with such detail? ( Ages) . How many times did God warn the Hebrews or Israel not to intermingle with other cultures? Was this command directed to men more than women? Also see lineage of Christ in Luke. Adam the son of God. Seth in Adams image...etc.

Yahshua walked this earth in His corruptible flesh and blood body for 33 and a half years according to Moses law. Yahshua fulfilled Moses law perfectly. He came on the Appointed day and died on the Appointed Day according to Moses law. Yahshua was born on the 14Th day Tishri at 3PM and died on the 14Th day of Nissan at 3PM. So says Yahweh. Yahshua died on the 14Th day of the first month and was RAISED from the second death at 6AM on the 1ST day of the week. Yahweh was in the second death for 39 hours according to Moses law. Absolute perfection from a perfect God. Yahweh RAISED his SON from the second death and gave Him His incorruptible flesh and blood body back and took His SON back to the 3RD heaven. Rom. 10: 9.

Genesis 6:4 is not about fallen angels. The context of the passage never implies angels. In chapter 5 was about Seth offsprings and Cain offsprings. Second, Genesis says that the Nephilims already existed before the sons of God and the daughter of man had their thing. Third, Job 1:6 and Job 2:1 is not about angels presenting to God because Jesus said in Matthew 18:10 that angels are always in the presence of God. The only time sons of God is about angels is in Job 38:7, and the verse explains it to us that there are angels because before it says sons of God, says morning stars. Fourth, king David said that God forms every person in womb and every human is created in the image God. Angels are not created in the image of God, so by saying that fallen angels had sexual relationships with woman is contradicting what God said that every human is created by his image. And my final point is that the book of enoch is not proof of that because that is a false book, is pseudo epigraphy and has contradictions.

A prophet of God, the prophesied return of Elijah, speaks: GOD'S ANGELS CANNOT AND DO NOT "FALL." And if you think angels can fall, "You do err, not knowing Scriptures nor the power of God." Furthermore, absolutely all intelligent beings in this Universe are the "sons of God, " be they from this planet or another. ("Is it not written in your law, 'I have said ye are gods'?" "I have said ye are gods and all of you are children of the Most High.") BUT MOST ARE UNAWARE OF THIS FACT. And when the Bible speaks of "the sons of God" it is simply referring to beings who have advanced far enough spiritually that they ARE fully aware of what they are. And the "sons of God" mating with the "daughters of men" were spiritually- advanced beings from elsewhere that were "backsliding," and mated with less spiritually-advanced Earth women. But know this: absolutely EVERYTHING is part of God's perfect plan, without exception. (I don't receive KZbin comment notifications, but those who seek can easily find how to contact me.)

Explaining the Giants/Nephilim in Genesis 6:4. It actually is a play on words with the Nephilim (Hebrew) and Gigantes (Greek) and Giants (English) when describing the sons of God, meaning that there is a play on the words Nephilim (Hebrew) and Gigantis/Giants (Greek/English). Genesis 6:3 & 4 (NKJV) 3 And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 4 There were GIGANTES/ GIANTS 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. Genesis 6: 3 & 4 (NIV) 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.” 4 The NEPHILIM were on the earth in those days-and also afterward-when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. NOTICE the NKJV translations uses the word GIGANTES/GIANTS (Greek/English) in Genesis 6:4.Other Bible translations that use "GIANTS" are the KJV, MSG, JUB 2000, GNV 1599, DRA 1899, 1611 KJV and other Bible translations no need to mention. NOTICE in Genesis 6:4 and the NIV translation uses the word NEPHILIM (Hebrew). Other Bible translations that use "NEPHILIM" are the ESV, MEV, AMP, NASB, RSV, ICB, NET, and other Bible translations no need to mention. With English speaking and writing language translation some Bibles will use the Greek/English or the Hebrew. In Genesis 6: 4 the English/Greek word "Giants" is used and in Hebrew it would be "Nephilim". It is plural use of the words (Giants,Gigantes/Nephilim), not singular use of the words (Giants, Gigantes/Nephilim). In verse 3 God said about man that his days shall be 120 years.Years is a theme in Genesis 5 the previous chapter.Years is emphasized over and over in Genesis 5 and is mentioned again in Genesis 6:3. In Genesis 6:4 the word Giants or Gigantes (English/Greek) is used. The word Giant or Gigantes (English/Greek) is primarily referring to YEARS. God NEVER mentions height in Genesis 6:3. When translated into Greek as gigantez, gigantes, or 'giants in Genesis 6:4. That is how we get the English word Giants. The use of this Greek/English word Giants in CONTEXT is referring to Years, probably not height or stature, but the people of that day since they had such a longevity of life might have had a different physical stature. Genesis 5 has a genealogy list that tells of individuals that lived these enormous/Giant life spans. Genesis 5 is probably the "sons of God". The word Giants is just explaining the and how it used when explaining the "sons of God". Even Noah and others still lived a Giant and enormous life span after the flood. Life spans started to Shrink after the flood up until today.

The position that angels ("sons of God") married female humans ("daughters of men") and produced a super race tends to be a widely accepted view; probably due to Josephus, the famous Jewish historian, who popularised this position in his writings. Of course, there are serious problems that undermine that view. One problem is, "For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven" (Matt. 22:30). Since angels are genderles kis, the "sons of God" could not have been angels (although some link Genesis 6 with Jude 6-8). A more plausible and scripturally consistent explanation would be that "sons of God" refers to a godly race of people who intermarried with a race not so godly. Many believe the "sons of God" are from the descendants of Seth (Gen. 4: 25-26 & Ch. 5). In contrast, the "daughters of men" would be the pagan descendants of Cain (Gen. 4:16-24). But why this would result in giants is not clear because they would only become so if God ( who knits us in the womb - Psalm 139:13) wanted such offspring. Maybe the term giant is hyperbole for unnusually tall people (such as the Dutch are today where the average height is almost 6') which would have seemed all the more fearsome if they were also warriors of reknown. But it really doesn't matter compared to the Oneness heresy.

One thing is certain: the phrase "sons of God" does not refer to angels, that is, messengers. The phrase is a Hebrew idiom, and in the context of Genesis 6, it refers to humans, likely the descendants of Seth, or the "righteous." The nephillim is mistranslated "giants" (Greek GIGANTES) in the Septuagint. In Hebrew it means something like "mighty warriors, or men of renown." There was no "superhuman" race that resulted from the marriages of the "sons of God" and the "daughters of men." Neither idiom refers to marital unions between freshly beings and spiritual beings.

You are assuming that the angles procreated naturally. The Bible says in the times of Noah so shall be in the coming of the Son of Man. If we look today scientists are talking about producing test-tube babies, having gay couples use their DNA to produce children... In the times of Noah the Angles did the same with their own DNA, human DNA, and animal DNA. This was done NOT by sexual relations (tho their offspring could have I suppose) but by advanced knowledge. The book of Enoch quoted in Jude as well as 2Peter tell us they were angles, not man. We see the same name again in Job when it talks of the sons of God and satan came before God. The Bible is really clear about this topic, ANYONE who does not believe Genesis 6 was speaking of Angels should not be teaching others its that simple.

Brother the text says that the giants were a result of the sons of god mingling with the daughters of MEN.. it does not say the sons of god were giants it says the offspring became giants. Jude clearly says that the angels went after strange flesh and gave themselves over to fornicating , making a comparison to that of sodom and Gomorrah. I don’t know exactly how the angels procreated on earth but that is what the Bible says loud and clear. This is where u get Greek mythology from and also the story of the anunnaki from ancient Sumerian that spoke about genetic engineering and pre dates the Bible.

"I have said ye are gods and all of you are children of the Most High.") BUT MOST ARE UNAWARE OF THIS FACT. And when the Bible speaks of "the sons of God" it is simply referring to beings who have advanced far enough spiritually that they ARE fully aware of what they are. And the "sons of God" mating with the "daughters of men" were spiritually- advanced beings from elsewhere that were "backsliding," and mated with less spiritually-advanced Earth women. But know this: absolutely EVERYTHING is part of God's perfect plan, without exception.

You Do present an interesting possibility however.. when you mentioned.. Adam and Eve possible procreating in the garden before the fall... I had never thought of that...we all realize.. that God preserved for us to read.. what He deemed necessary in order for us to come to salvation.. so we definitely do not have a minute by minute or even a year by year event list.. of what occurred.....since creation...interesting thought...

The heavenly sons of God noticed the daughters of men, and some forsook their own proper dwelling place, Jude 6 when they put flesh upon themselves, and took human wives for themselves. Genesis 6: 4 The children of these unions were giant men, the Nephilim. At the time of Noah's flood the Nephilim all died. But the angels that were their fathers put off their flesh, and became the demons. The demons still exist, but they are no longer permitted to do this, even though its not written anywhere. But the demons influence men and women, and they continue to be wicked. When Satan is thrown into the abyss Revelation 20: 1-3 the demons will also be thrown in. When Satan, Gog of Magog is executed Revelation 20: 10 the demons will be executed. The 'Gog' that is buried in Ezekiel 39: 11 is the leader of the warring armies, 'the chieften of Meshech and Tubal.' Ezekiel 38: 2. This one is the visible leader of the warring armies 'like clouds to cover the land', Ezekiel 38: 16 but the real leader is Satan the Devil, invisible to the eyes of men. [Revelation 20: 1-10]

You are assuming that the angels procreated naturally. The Bible says in the times of Noah so shall be in the coming of the Son of Man. If we look today scientists are talking about producing test-tube babies, having gay couples use their DNA to produce children... In the times of Noah the Angles did the same with their own DNA, human DNA, and animal DNA. This was done NOT by sexual relations (tho their offspring could have I suppose) but by advanced knowledge. The book of Enoch quoted in Jude as well as 2Peter tell us they were angles, not man. We see the same name again in Job when it talks of the sons of God and satan came before God. The Bible is really clear about this topic, ANYONE who does not believe Genesis 6 was speaking of Angels should not be teaching others its that simple.

MISUNDERSTANDINGS OF BIBLICAL TEXSTS Why is it so necessary for some to interpret something if they do not have the basic knowledge base? First of all, angelology begins with: In the beginning, God created heaven and earth. The earth was empty .... but for heaven it does not say !!! Job 30 clearly states that the sons of God sang as He made the earth! Yes Adam was created in the image and thus the son of God but we know Paul writes that everyone led by the Spirit of God is the sons of God !! so there are angels and there are various angels! Angel means servant of God but who can claim that angels are exclusively invisible beings ?? There are parallel actions of invisible beings who are in service here but there are also distant worlds primordial before the earth. This does not mean that they are invisible: They are invisible to us because of distance and weavers can appear here when God allows it either by teleportation, aircraft, or bilocation. These worlds are older and more advanced, but it is only the obscure center of Naum's Creation of Special Meaning. This does not mean that the earth is the Geocentrum of the universe, but it is the center of God's Naum, which has caused jealousy to such an extent that they have left their abode and have sinned. It also means the fall of fallen heavens. The sin of the angel is not the same because it has more weight on the principle: Who knows more or who is given more and is asked for more responsibility so that it is a fall in return as opposed to a small limited man who had grown up and outgrew angels for incarnation The only begotten Son of God. The punishment found an irreversible decline and permission to act and attack until the final judgment when there was an eternal and complete rejection in the image of a lake burning with sulfur forever. On the other hand, man is punished otherwise, and a general deluge is punishment for human sin for the constancy of obstinacy and not for polygyny! as some claim. Sin comes as a temptation from evil spirits, fallen heavens who are punished in a different way and in the service of temptation that God allows to tempt human faith. The decision of the punishment of all men is clearly stated, and heavens

Angels are not the sons of God in the OT God had the OT written in Hebrew, but the NT was written in Greek. For this to happen the Greek language had to become popular, how that happened is with the Greek Empire (332-146 BC) influenced the Jews (Hebrews). When the NT was written, it was written in Greek. Since the Greek empire influenced the Jews, so the Greeks language impacted how the NT was written. What also happened is Greek mythology crept in as well. The angel view suffers the same way the Roman Catholic Church suffers with Mary. Both the angel view and the Roman Catholic Church are victims of mythology. The Greeks believed that Zeus one of their pagan gods came down to earth and impregnated Alcmene a mortal human women and she gave birth to Hercules, sounds like Genesis 6. Even way back to Christ pagan and mythological beliefs existed. The Jews always were effected with pagan beliefs and practices. When Josephus a early Christian in the first Century is the person who is credited for the angel view, when it came to Genesis 6, a person can tell what his thinking was with who the sons of God are. Josephus was in ERROR and his thinking triggered a domino effect. No such thing as angels producing offspring with humans, it comes from Greek mythology and probably some Roman mythology. Look at Roman Catholicism with Mary, the doctrine of Mary in the RCC came out of Ephesus. The Council of Ephesus in AD 431 decreed that Mary is the Theotokos. Ephesus was known for a pagan god called Diana. In Roman Catholicism Mary is also linked to Isis, Artemis, Cybele, and Demeter. A person can see how paganism and Mythology affected Josephus and the council of Ephesus.

The sons of Seth were not sons of God, they were sons of Adam, made in Adam's image, not God's. The God image in man, and mankind's sonship relationship with God, was broken at the Fall of man. Also, the Hebrew phrase "the sons of God" is used in only two (2) other places outside Genesis 6 in the Old Testament (Job 1, and 2). In both those instances, the phrase refers to angels- including Satan, who is an Angel- standing before the Throne of God. It is simply incorrect Bible Exegesis to assign one meaning of that phrase in Genesis 6 (men), and a totally different meaning (angels) in Job 1 and 2. Finally, two different groups of HUMANS (the sons of Seth and the daughters of Cain's descendants) do NOT produce mutant, 10 foot tall, six fingered Giants! But such mutants would be produced by mixing the Alien seed of Fallen angels with the ovum of human women! Remember, Genesis says the sons of God (angels) took wives of ALL which they chose- meaning BOTH from the Sethite gene pool AND the Cain-ite women. Later in Genesis (chapter 18) the Lord came to Abraham with two (2) angels. They ALL looked like MEN, and they sat, ate, and talked with Abraham quite naturally. Assumedly, Fallen angels would have the SAME ability to assume human characteristics and apoearance, even to genitals and bodily functions. Hebrews 13 says, "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for some in so doing have entertained ANGELS UNAWARES."

The Niphlims were fallen angels, it was time that the angels were able to transform themselves into men, therefore, they were able to reproduce in their kind. If you were able to transform yourself into men, wouldn't you have men's reproduction organs and capacity to reproduce in their kind? God didn't even put his trust in his own angels. Once a Man makes love to a woman, this would mean that woman is his wife, because they have become one, they didn't need a priest to marry them, once a Man got to know the woman sexually, this would be the same as marriage in God's eyes.

He who is wise admits when he doesn't know. He who is presumptuous knows everything. A prophet of God, the prophesied return of Elijah, speaks: GOD'S ANGELS CANNOT AND DO NOT "FALL." And if you think angels can fall, "You do err, not knowing Scriptures nor the power of God." Furthermore, absolutely all intelligent beings in this Universe are the "sons of God, " be they from this planet or another. ("Is it not written in your law, 'I have said ye are gods'?"

The Bible tells us over and over that Cain was the seed of Satan. So knowing this and understanding that Satan was and angel and when angels have children with human women the offspring are not of normal size. Then with this knowledge just maybe Cain was much larger than Able and God of course knew his father was not Adam and did not except Cain's offering. God knew Ables heart and knew Cain was proud and had disobied the rules of offering. Cain thought his offering was better than Ables but God wanted a blood offering. In a jealous act of anger he killed his brother. Later offspring of Cain were ordered to be killed by God. They all had the heart of Satan. They had evil believes. So God wanted them gone so they could not corrupt the other people that obeyed God. I think Cain was marked because he was half fallen angel and half man. I also believe angels are not small like we are. I think they built the megalithic structures on this planet. We have been lied to for a very long time. But now skeleton remains are found everywhere and the story is now told. The Bible now makes perfect sense. There were Giants in the Earth in those days. Well now we know the Giants began with Satan, in the garden. Cain was sent away to live away from the other people. But maybe the good people began to find the people of Cain and we're being corrupted by the people of Cain. So to keep all the people of God from falling into sin God had Cain's people wiped out. But then fallen angel began to have more and more children with women and knowing how Satan wants to distroy God's creation Satan's offspring are so sinfilled God had to drown all who lived on Earth except Noah and his small family. So sad for God to have His world ruined by a black heart like Satan ,His own creation. A Fallen Angel.
