Hey,
I was curious. What do you all think the sons of God and the nephilim in Gen. 6 are? I've done some reading online and found that opinions are very varied and in some cases way out there. I'm not really sure what I think about them yet. How do you interpret this passage?
Gen. 6:1-4 -
Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose. 3 Then the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless F91 his days shall be one hundred and twenty years." 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.
