Hi Dreamdweller,
This is a false teaching regarding the Nephilim.
1. Angels were created by God individually and do NOT have sexual parts. They do NOT and can NOT procreate. Remember what Jesus said, " For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are LIKE the ANGELS OF GOD IN HEAVEN.` (Matt. 22: 30)
2. The Nephilim are just bullies, tyrants, warriors,. Heb. `Nephil,` a fella, a bully or tyrant, giant.
In the verse where it says, "
they neither marry nor are given in marriage...," we have to go back to verse 23 for context. When we get to verse 30, it is clear that Jesus is talking about men, not angels. If Jesus was talking about angels, there would be no reason to say, "
Like the angels of God in Heaven." Plus, remember it says,
For in the resurrection... In order to be resurrected, you have to have died. Angels never die. The fallen angels can be bound, such as Lucifer will be bound for 1000 years in Revelation. But an angel has never been killed according to the Bible.
Genesis 6:4 says: "The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the
sons of God came in to the daughters of mankind, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who
were of old, men of renown." If these "sons" were human, God would not have said that they "came into the daughters of mankind" because they would have already been human. The Common English Bible states Genesis 6:2 as saying,
The divine beings saw how beautiful these human women were, so they married the ones they chose.
I checked the KJV version against the NASB version. In the NASB version,
sons of God appear 7 times; 5 in the Old Testament and twice in the New Testament. The first 5 are in Genesis and Job. In the O.T. verses,
sons of God are clearly angels. In the N.T. verses, it says they are human. So I do agree that "sons of God" can refer to men, but it also refers to angels.
In the KJV, there are 11 times
sons of God appear. After contrasting the 2, the reason there are more in the KJV version is because the NASB version has the last 4 verses in the KJV as calling them
children of God instead of sons of God. These
sons of God I do believe are human.
Personally, I know of nothing in the Bible where God says angels don't have sexual parts (if there is a verse, please let me know). But God did give us the names of 2 angels...Michael and Gabriel. These are both male names. I can only assume that they have all the features of a male. After doing some research and contemplating, my personal opinion is that all angels are male. The other reason for my opinion is that
daughters of God never appears in the KJV of the Bible. The NASB version is the only version where
daughters of God appears (Romans 8:14, Romans 8:19, and Galatians 3:26), but it appears in italics. Most versions (not all) have the verses ending with sons of God or children of God.
These are just my thoughts.
