The Sons of God.

The subject of the Nephilim is one which there are two different view points. Obviously one is true, the other false. There are many today believing doctrines that are not grounded in Scripture. These teachings, some call 'Jewish fables' others, downright lies. The Bible interprets itself and we should ever follow this principle. There is nothing wrong with the study of extra canonical writings, but we should never try to formulate Biblical doctrines from such sources. There are Bible teachers and pastors that are teaching things that are now in the realms of science fiction, they have no place for God's people, only in that cesspit known as Hollywood. How long will it be before film makers start to call on these teachers?

Reading through the 4th and 5th chapters of Genesis, we see clearly the genealogies of the Sethites and Cainites. They did not intermingle until Genesis 6.2. There was a 'fatal attraction'; the 'Son's of God' 'saw the daughters of men that they were fair'. That the lineage of the 'Son's of God' sprang from Seth, is verified by Scripture; Genesis 4.25: 'God hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew'. And what of the lineage of Cain, the worlds first murderer? Is he not 'of that wicked one'? 1 John 3.12. Which wicked one?

Undoubtedly the 'Sons of God' is clearly referring to angels in Job 1.6 and 2.1. But this does not follow that this term has the same meaning in Genesis 6.2. John 1.12 teaches; 'as many as received him, to them he gave the power to become the son's of God, even to them that believe on his name'. God undoubtedly created humankind and the angelic host, they have both been termed as 'Son's' in these respective passages.
One may ask, 'How could the intermarriage of the seed of Seth and the seed of Cain produce giants?' To which our reply would be, 'How could the  intermarriage of angels and men produce giants?' In the Bible, when angels have assumed the form of man, no superior physical stature has ever been mentioned, read Genesis 18.2 and 19.5 for example. The Lord Jesus said that angels are not 'given in marriage'; Matthew 22.30, Mark 12.25. The Lord says   that angels do not procreate, they do not have children. Is this not the contextual teaching of these two Bible verses?
The inter mixture of Sethites and Cainites however was very likely to produce a race of superior bodily constitution  These two races continued separately for long ages, and they intermarried with near kindred, so they must have degenerated greatly; and therefore the inter mixture of the two would have given rise to a stronger race.
We read that giants were after the flood when Israel intermarried with the Moabites. If inter marriage with angels was required to produce giants in the time of Noah, it must have been needed again afterwards to produce them in the time of Israel. Anak must have married an angel and his sons Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, who are called Nephilim, must have been semi-angels. Then, some of Anak's ancestors must have also married angels, seeing that it is said that the 'Nephilim' were sons of Anak (Numbers 13.33), but he himself was of the same race, being half an angel and half a man. With this in mind Anak's wife must have been a female angel, whereas in Noah's day the angels that descended to earth must have been male. And these created beings are asexual, if the teachings of the Lord Jesus are to be understood aright?
Throughout the 6th of Genesis we are informed that it was man's sin that was so great in the earth; that it was on account of man's sin that the deluge came. But if as many today would have us believe the old 'Jewish fables' then it was not man's sin that wrought the evil but the sin of angels. To to any right thinking person it is clear that they are the guilty parties in this transaction, if they were parties at all! If the 'Sons of God' were angels then is mankind to be judged for the sin of angels? If on the other hand the 'Sons of God' were the Sethites, the representatives of the patriarchal Church how natural is the whole scenario! The Sethites were the 'salt of the earth' (Matthew 5.13), and once the salt had lost it's savour, then was the world ripe for God's judgment?
An old time writer asked 'What sort of creatures could the offspring of men and angels be?' 'Would they be men or would they be angels?' And could they produce offspring? From my very limited knowledge of science, I understand that different genera cannot breed offspring. If when it does happen as in the case of horses and donkeys which produce mules, the offspring becomes sterile.
Where exactly would these 'half angels' stand in relation to Christ as regards salvation? Being semi man and semi demons? Could they believe on Him who took not on Him the nature of angels, but who took on Him the seed of Abraham? Hebrews 2.16. Could they be washed in His blood? Could they be condemned for rejecting Noah's message about the promised seed of the woman? What was the seed of the woman to those who did not belong to the human race?

The ramifications of this horrid doctrine end I know not where. The Saviour when speaking of the 'days of Noah' said 'they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage', so He said it will be in the days of the 'coming of the Son of man'. There is wholesale and ever increasing widespread apostasy in our age.
As believers we should warn the ungodly of the wrath to come, of the eternal burning that awaits those who reject the gospel. As Noah a preacher of righteousness proclaimed salvation to the then lost world, kept himself separate and undefiled from the world, we should do likewise.
