Are giants the offspring of angels and humans?

Well, he does hold to "King James version only". Some call that a cult.

I wouldn’t say that is a cult but just kinda strange that they don’t give any other translations a chance…especially like NIV or ESV.

Well, since you haven't retracted this calamity of a claim, I'll quote a few of your unbiblical "sticking points"...

None of those things is in Scripture, so clearly you are NOT "sticking with exactly what we know from scripture." Your extrapolations from the words of Scripture are not themselves Scripture. If you clearly distinguish the two, there won't be a problem.

I think I have an opposing view on the overall topic.
However, I completely agree you're dealing with a lot of bad arguments.

You always make a good case for your views, and I would encourage your opponents to step it up and bring their A game, lol.

Have a great week.

I have always believed this to be the case.

Genesis 6:4 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.

However I have come to doubt this theory now as i've actually read the book of Enoch and it contradicts the Bible in some details, not to mention just doesn't "sound right" Doesn't sound like its from the spirit of God. I can discern that its not. You may disagree thats fine but that is where we must agree to disagree.

Jesus says: Matthew 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

How could angels coming down and fornicating with women work if this is the case?

Is there any credible alternative explanation? In the OT, "sons of God" most often means angels, doesn't it?

Help a brother out here.

Angels in heaven are the faithful angels to God. "In Heaven."
They remain safe because God supplied them with an abundance of grace to be celibate.
Fallen angels, many are confined to earth....

The question I have yet to see be asked?
Why did God create angels with the ability to procreate in the first place?
There is an answer for that.


grace and peace .........

I see no real reason to think the "sons of God" were angels of any kind. The text seems pretty self-explanatory: When men and women began to multiply on the earth, the men took wives for themselves.

But, the Hebrew says nothing about marriage.

1~~Now it came to pass,​

when mankind {literally 'adam - came to be used for 'mankind'}​

had begun to 'become numerous'/multiply​

on the face of the ground {adamah},​

and daughters/'beautiful women' had been born unto them . . .​

2~~that the angels {beni ha Elohiym idiom: literally sons of 'elohiym/gods}​

kept watching the daughters of mankind . . .that they were very beautiful . . .​

and they took/'seized passionately' to them women {'ishshah} of all whom ​

they examined and selected. {here is a masculine plural suffix signifying ​

'it happened, but was irregular'}​

Vs 2.) They took and seized, passionately, the women....
It does not say, 'married' them.
Certain prudish translators shied away from that one.
