Sons of God and the Daughters of Men
PatriotandLiberty ^ | 12/23 | Philip Bell

Posted on 12/12/2023 1:15:55 AM PST by spirited irish

The following article is essentially a review of ideas put forward in a book published nearly a century and a half ago but which deserve to be more widely known. What follows should be read as a supplement to discussion of the subject elsewhere, notably in the detailed appendix to Gary Bates’ book Alien Intrusion: UFOs and the evolution connection.1 A lightly-edited version of the latter is available here: Who were the ‘sons of God’ in Genesis 6? We strongly urge anyone who wishes to comment on the present article to read that latter link first.

CMI recognises that evangelical Christians (including biblical creationists) have varying opinions as to the identity of “the sons of God” and “the daughters of man” (Genesis 6:2,4). The purpose of this review of the arguments of a long-deceased writer is to stimulate careful thought. Such well-thought-through ideas are worthy of the consideration of any Christian with a sincere interest in understanding the intent of the author of Genesis who, ultimately, is the Holy Spirit.

That article was a good example of critical thinking (so rare in the world today and particularly rare at FR where everyone who has an opinion thinks he is an expert).

No one is sure what it means, but it’s not space people etc…

That’s looney pseudo-occultism. Much too much of that.

I'm a huge fan of Zacharia Stichin. This stuff fascinates me.

Angels, Aliens, Nephilim - all were created by God.
