Who Were The "Sons Of God" Who Married The Daughters Of Men by Nobody: 7:03pm On Oct 29, 2017 |
scholars debate and disagree
over the meaning of the
obscure reference to “the
sons of God” in Genesis
6:1-4. Some people read into
these verses the idea that it
refers to angelic beings
marrying women and
producing a race of giants.
Christ explained that is
impossible, teaching that
angels are neither male nor
female (Luke 20:34-36)—that
is, they are incapable
of reproduction.
Humans are clearly the
subject in Genesis 6—not
angels. God said, “My Spirit
shall not strive with man
forever, for he is indeed
flesh” (verse 3, emphasis
added throughout) and, “I will
destroy man whom I have
created from the face of the
earth” (verse 7). If angels were
capable of reproducing as
mankind does, their offspring
would be spirit, according to
the principle of “according to
its kind” portrayed in
Genesis 1.
The Bible labels the offspring
of these marriages
“giants” (Genesis 6:4),
meaning simply people of
giant stature. Similar people
are spoken of in later times,
most notably Goliath and
his family.
How, then, can we understand
Genesis 6:1-4? Human beings
are also sons of God. We’re
not referring to becoming
spiritual sons of God through
conversion, but to the fact
that all people are sons of God
by creation (Luke 3:38). The
attitudes and actions of these
“sons of God” were so wrong
that they provoked God to
send the Flood.
Halley’s Bible Handbook raises
the possibility that these sons
of God were the descendants
of Seth. Seth, the Bible
records, was made in the
image of Adam, who was made
in the image of God (Genesis
1:26; 5:1-3). Speaking of
Seth’s descendants, Genesis
4:26 adds, “Then men began
to call on the name of the
Lord,” a phrase that could also
be rendered, “called after the
name of the Lord”—that is,
the “sons of God.” If so, the
women, “the daughters of
men” whom these “sons of
God” married were the
descendants of unrighteous
Cain. By marrying these
women, the sons of righteous
Seth turned from God, leading
Him to say that the entire
world was then corrupt
(Genesis 6:5-7, 12).
An alternative explanation is
that “sons of God” in Genesis
6:2 refers to self-willed men
who called themselves “sons
of god,” not in worship of the
Creator, but of pagan deities.
Their marriages were in
defiance of the Creator God,
as they lived contrary to His
will. In light of God’s
characterization of society
riddled with violence (verses
11 and 13), i surmise that
the men forcibly took the
women as wives.
Regardless of which
explanation is accurate, the
idea that a half-spirit, half-
human race resulted from
angels marrying women is
impossible. What do u think? |

Here are their names: Yahweh, Allah, Moloch, etc. They are just too many back in those days. Yahweh married Asherah. I will give you the Doctufos reference. Doctufos: Danyal 3:14 2 Likes |

ugoswaggz: I am talking about the sons of God Almighty who married the goddesses. Yahweh, Allah and the rest of the gods married the goddesses and even the Trinity of Yahweh, Allah and Yeshua impregnated Maria, who was an homo Erectus. |

angels are neither male nor female. because the are supernatural beings. but angel Gabriel,Michael, Rafael to mention but a few were all seen as males. angels are neither male nor female but they take form of man when on assignment. Angels have the ability to transform into various forms. I guess that was how they were able to lay with the daughters of men |
