Were The Nephilim really offspring of the sons of God and daughters of men
The sons of God and daughters of men Who were the sons of God?
Gen 4:26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
To come up with an interpretation of the sons of God and daughters of men referring to fallen angels, having sexual relationships with earthly women, is simply ludicrous.
Deut 14:1-2 Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead. For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.
The sons of God and daughters of men, also represents the children of God, and all others who were not the people of God (Exodus 6:7).
Job 1:1-2 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
The notion that fallen angels would be able to present themselves before God is ludicrous.
Hosea 1:10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.
To understand the sons of God and who this endearing term refers to, we only need to look at God’s own description of which people He considers His children.
Ex 29:45 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.
There is a clue early on in Genesis. The sons of God call upon the name of the Lord.
Most who subscribe to the sons of God and daughters of men theory, also believe in two separate creation events. The first creation is to be found in Genesis 1:1 thru 2:3. The second creation is apparently found in Genesis 2:4, and following.
Gen 4:17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
The fairy tale continues. Cain went and found his wife who was of the people of this first creation.
Gen 4:25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
The genealogy of the generations of Adam, Noah, Abraham and David do not include every one that is born. Out of these generations God would choose faithful men who were declared righteous through Christ (Luke 1:5-6, Rom 1:17, Heb 10:38).
Matt 1:17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
The lineage of Cain who was taken by evil resulting in works of wickedness, is found in Genesis 4:16-23. You shall know them that are of the wicked one by the fruits they produce ( Math 7:17, 1 John 3:12, Jude 1:11).
Gen 5:1-3 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth.
The sons of God and daughters of men, represent two very different genealogies. The generations listed in the above verse do not mention Cain, but his lineage would refer to the daughters of men.
Gen 5:21-22 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
Enoch walked with God, so he was a child of God, and could also be referred to as one of the sons of God. The sons of God and daughters of men, represent those faithful to God, and those who rejected Him.
Noah found grace in the eyes of God, he was justified by and walked with God (Gen 6:7-13).
Gen 6:1-2 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
The sons of God and daughters of men, clearly define two opposing spiritually minded people groups. The sons of God were not to take the daughters of men, that did not know the only true God.
Ex 34:14-16 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God: Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice; And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.
Gen 24:3 And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
Gen 28:1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
The sons of God and daughters of men, do not represent fallen Angels creating a demonic hybrid group of people. The sons of God represent mankind that God created.
