1. The some of God are those who were from Adam and the daughters of men are some sort of underling species of hominid.
1. The some of God are those who were from Adam and the daughters of men are some sort of underling species of hominid.
This is a view that is more modern and is an attempt to talk away the creation narrative and evolution.
2. The sons of God are ancient kings and the daughters of men are their royal harems.
2. The sons of God are ancient kings and the daughters of men are their royal harems.
This is is difficult to believe because we are introducing a who other group o people that have not yet been mentioned.
This also doesn't make real scents because this would mean there are only a select group of people the kings or rulers who where truly deserving of the punishment that was see about to be poured out on man and animals. While this sin impossible it is unlikely . We do see things things like this taking place.
David took the Census 7000 died:
2 Samuel 24:15 “15 So the Lord sent a plague on Israel from that morning until the appointed time, and from Dan to Beer-sheba seventy thousand men died.”
3. The Sons of God are Angles
3. The Sons of God are Angles
The sin is the cohabitation between super natural and natural beings.
Beings form the spirital realm and the physical realm.
Try to support this from:
Jude 6–7 “6 and the angels who did not keep their own position but abandoned their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains in deep darkness for the judgment on the great day. 7 Likewise, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns committed sexual immorality and perversions, and serve as an example by undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.”
If the purpose for Jude 7 is to compair the unnatural relation that were taking place in Sodom and Gomorrah with the similar unnatural realtions taking place with Angles and Humans then it could make sencese
But if the the purpose is to show that God is going to intact his divine judgement on the fallen Angles that follow Satan and the People who follow Satan and live in sin this doesnt work.
Gensis doenst apper to show any signs of any un wanted realtions or crazy lust but of marrgie
It is the establishment of a marital relation ship that is not propper.
The punishment for all these are for human being there is no mention of non humans
Nephilim- Giants
Numbers 13:33 “33 We even saw the Nephilim there—the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim! To ourselves we seemed like grasshoppers, and we must have seemed the same to them.””
Nephilim is not an ethnic designation but a description of a particular type of individual. In Numbers 13:33 they are identified, along with the descendants of Anak, as some of the inhabitants of the land of Canaan. The latter are described as giants, but there is no reason to consider the Nephilim to be giants. It is more likely that the term describes heroic warriors, perhaps the ancient equivalent of knights errant.

ENOCH CHAPTER VII.
1. And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants. 2. And they became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells: 3. Who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, 4. the giants turned against them and devoured mankind. 5. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood. 6. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.
1 Timothy 1:3–4 “3 As I urged you when I went to Macedonia, remain in Ephesus so that you may instruct certain people not to teach false doctrine 4 or to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies. These promote empty speculations rather than God’s plan, which operates by faith.”
They Were Powerful Men
The Famous Men
Man and Mankind
IT is possible for a word to take on diffrent meaning within the same chapter in understading the broader context.
2 Samuel 7:5–7 “5 “Go to my servant David and say, ‘This is what the Lord says: Are you to build me a house to dwell in? 6 From the time I brought the Israelites out of Egypt until today I have not dwelt in a house; instead, I have been moving around with a tent as my dwelling. 7 In all my journeys with all the Israelites, have I ever spoken a word to one of the tribal leaders of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, asking: Why haven’t you built me a house of cedar?’”

The Victims and the Villains
The Sons of God
The Sons of God
Job 1:6 “6 One day the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them.”
Job 2:1 “1 One day the sons of God came again to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them to present himself before the Lord.”
Psalm 82:6 “6 I said, “You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.”
Daniel 3:25 “25 He exclaimed, “Look! I see four men, not tied, walking around in the fire unharmed; and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.””
The Sons of God are the individuals from the Line of Seth
The Daughters of man are the women from the line of Cain
Chapters 4 and 5 we see the contrast taking place
5 the had other sons and daughters
The line of Seth
The line of Seth
Luke 3:38 “38 son of Enos, son of Seth, son of Adam, son of God.”
Romans 8:12–23 “12 So then, brothers and sisters, we are not obligated to the flesh to live according to the flesh, 13 because if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die. But if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For all those led by God’s Spirit are God’s sons. 15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear. Instead, you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father!” 16 The Spirit himself testifies together with our spirit that we are God’s children, 17 and if children, also heirs—heirs of God and coheirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him. 18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is going to be revealed to us. 19 For the creation eagerly waits with anticipation for God’s sons to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility—not willingly, but because of him who subjected it—in the hop…”
Galatians 3:25–27 “25 But since that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, 26 for through faith you are all sons of God in Christ Jesus. 27 For those of you who were baptized into Christ have been clothed with Christ.”
1 John 3:10 “10 This is how God’s children and the devil’s children become obvious. Whoever does not do what is right is not of God, especially the one who does not love his brother or sister.”
Romans 9:7–8 “7 Neither is it the case that all of Abraham’s children are his descendants. On the contrary, your offspring will be traced through Isaac. 8 That is, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children, but the children of the promise are considered to be the offspring.”
Like the Angles
Luke 20:27–36 “27 Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came up and questioned him: 28 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother has a wife, and dies childless, his brother should take the wife and produce offspring for his brother. 29 Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife and died without children. 30 Also the second 31 and the third took her. In the same way, all seven died and left no children. 32 Finally, the woman died too. 33 In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For all seven had married her.” 34 Jesus told them, “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage. 35 But those who are counted worthy to take part in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. 36 For they can no longer die, because they are like angels and are children of God, since they are children of the resurrection.
Philippians 2:13–16 “13 For it is God who is working in you both to will and to work according to his good purpose. 14 Do everything without grumbling and arguing, 15 so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God who are faultless in a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine like stars in the world, 16 by holding firm to the word of life. Then I can boast in the day of Christ that I didn’t run or labor for nothing.”

Nose blind to the stink that we live in.
Dust in the air of a clean Room
A Child of God must not join to gether with Children of Devil.
2 Corinthians 6:14 “14 Do not be yoked together with those who do not believe. For what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?”
A Child of God must be willing and able to speak agianst the enil in the WOrld but know that God alone changes it.
A Child of God must not place their hope only upon what is seen.
All who desier to live a Godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
