Genesis 6

[naomi24]

I can’t find the thread I saw fleetingly earlier where Theland said that Genesis 6 confuses him but that a Christian apologist(?) had explained the content. I assume Theland means the first part of the chapter which is, indeed, curious, so here you are Theland, a special thread.

// And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.//

What was his explanation?

Over to you - and to anyone else who would like to have a little ponder on it.

Apologies to naomi,
not my thread, but cant help getting involved in something that interests me...and this chapter is something that has interested me since being a teenage believer and has interested me ever since,
Never did work it out, either as biblical 'fact' or as mythology (or anything else).
Would actually like to view one of Theland's legendary YouTube vids to explain it ;-)

Blimey, Im ripe for conversion....
(Not really)

They were giants. When the flood came they just walked about on the sea bed with their head stuck out above the surface.

How tall were Neanderthals?
Just a thought.

Theland, you really can’t expect everyone contributing to this thread to spend almost an hour attempting to ascertain your thoughts on this. The written word works for all. What did your man say?

[Theland]

He explains the terms used in the scripture.
Sons of God = Angels.
Nephillim = offspring from humans.
A lot of translation to follow backed up by other bible passages.
Lots more also.

[Theland]

I can't do justice to it in a few short posts.

[naomi24]

So much for the discussion you say you crave, Theland.

naomi; I'm waiting for your verdict on, 16:11 Mon.

[naomi24]

Haha! Probably the less said the better, Khandro.

^^ I thought you might consider it for a new avatar :0)

[naomi24]

Haha! If it's all the same to you, I'll stick with the innocuous custard pie thanks.

[nailit]

Right, Im going in!
Going to watch Thelands vid. All of it. Wish me luck!
I may not be the same person when I return...

[nailit]

Thats handy. Lost me sound. Seriously...

[nailit]

Got it back.. :-)

[Theland]

Noah was righteous in his generations.
That is genetically pure, unsullied by the nephillim.
The world was suffering genetic pollution.

What are they up to, now, theland? Is this to reduce the population, by natural selection? Or what is the point?

I started to watch the link but at 2:30 minutes got the warning "Take heed that no man deceives you" so I switched off.
