Confused by this verse!

[NoelAsa]

Fallen Angels mixing and mingling with humans. That is what the scripture is about. The masons do play a role in this issue. You will just have to watch them Asvin and if you like, I can get you the info to email my pastor. He will answer your questions.

I watched the first four parts, and then jumped to the sixth one because you said it contained what I was looking for.. I am kind of confused.. he says the union of the sun and the earth produces children.. aka.. trees.. and whatever hangs off of it shall not be eaten? Deep stuff there.. I'm only 19.. help? LOL

I was also very confused by the videos. Just4Jesus posted her reply to what the video is supposed to mean. I had a hard time figuring that out of the video. It also would have been very nice to have had her put video 6 up instead of having us wade through 1 to 5 to get to her point.

Please do not be offended. It was just rather difficult to go through all of the videos to number 6 as they were rather long.

Hey.. Take it easy.. I asked a question, you responded... no harm no foul.. I would definitely like to ask questions to the pastor.. can I get that email?

So the angels and ordinary women produced titans? Is it because angels are good and women are sinful that their offspring were titans? Does the bible mention this?

Not all angels are good.

In my actual bible (Older NIV) It refers to the offspring of the sons of God and the daughters of men as titans. So does our family bible (KJV)

Oh ok.. thanks for the reply

 

[solarwave]

I have also wondered about Genesis 6: 1-4

My bible which is the Quest Study Bible, NIV states:

Some suggest they were supernatural beings such as angels. Other say they were godly men descended from Seth who married sinful women descended from Cain. A better interpretation may be that they were human rulers who emerged as heads of city-states in the ancient Middle East and flaunted their power by having large harems. Ruler and judges are sometimes called gods or God in the Hebrew text.

I like this answer

I come from an entirely different school of thought on this topic.

Sons of God = good men.
Daughters of Men = bad women.

The good men fell in love with the bad women, and the bad women corrupted their offspring to produce bad men and bad women.

I believe this because the whole concept of demons having sex with women runs completely counter to what the Bible actually teaches us about Satan and the demons, about God, and about the Nephilim (who have been referred to as titans).

This myth of demons copulating with women attributes the idea to not Satan, but one of his underlings. But Revelation 12:3-4a tells us that Satan is the leader of the rebellion in Heaven. Hence, he would be the smartest, most powerful, and most evil of them. But this myth doesn't have him as a participant in this enterprise. It teaches that the plan itself was both wicked and effective - but why didn't the devil himself participate? Why did he choose to tempt Eve with the fruit rather than have his way with her sexually (Genesis 3:1-8)? And how is it that these fallen creatures didn't get everybody? Certainly they would have had a numerical advantage over the first and second generation of humans.

This myth also claims that God chained up the participating demons during the flood so they couldn't do this anymore, and the flood's purpose was to wipe the Nephilim out. But the Bible teaches us that there were Nephilim in the land of Canaan when the Israelites were moving in there (Numbers 13:33). I frankly do not believe that God would be so careless as to let it happen again, even on a limited basis. I don't believe God would be so careless or so incompetent as to miss so much of one of these demons. And if he did, then I'm sure one of them would be able to bag 3-4 women (the wives of Noah, and his three sons) easily - but that didn't happen. No, the Nephilim must mean corrupt, yet powerful men of fully human descent.

Peace and Blessings Asvin,

Genesis 6:4 is talking about the fallen angels.

4. The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of the nobles would come to the daughters of man, and they would bear for them; they are the mighty men, who were of old, the men of renown.

ד. הַנְּפִלִים הָיוּ בָאָרֶץ בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם וְגַם אַחֲרֵי כֵן אֲשֶׁר יָבֹאוּ בְּנֵי הָאֱ־לֹהִים אֶל בְּנוֹת הָאָדָם וְיָלְדוּ לָהֶם הֵמָּה הַגִּבֹּרִים אֲשֶׁר מֵעוֹלָם אַנְשֵׁי הַשֵּׁם

The Nephilim were the result of the offspring when the fallen angels took upon themselves the daughters of men. Which resulted in the flood to destroy them. There is archaeological evidence to support the Nephilim, who were also giants. I'd recommend that you read the Book of Enoch. Although most Christian denominations don't accept it, I believe it provides the missing link with Genesis 6:4.

While this is reasonable, it is not what the Bible teaches. Every one of your objections is answered plainly in Scripture. Note that these 2 sides of the coin give our OP good reason to find this verse confusing! The answer to that is to understand both sides of the story thoroughly, not dismissing one or the other due to bias. This requires humility, and also causes it to grow
