She has a point Tim... of course the "offense" in this passage could be merely the fact that they left their "first estate," but still it could be the sexual interaction as well. Like I said we just don't know for sure, but let's face it; there remain some salient facts in this discussion that are still standing like 800 lb. gorilas in the room:
1. The word Nephilim means "fallen ones."
2. The Bible itself clearly defines who the "sons of God" are.
(see scripture in post 23 and 25)
3. To my knowledge, the Sethites were never called the "sons of God." |

Well...O.K. I'm getting very confused.
Not only did the angels leave "their first estate" they also left "
their own habitation". I'm tempted to do a word study. Sons of God=fallen angels naysayers please explain what else these verses could mean? Doesn't scripture always define/interpret itself?
