“When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in1 man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown.” Genesis 6: 1-4
The Sethite Theory of Genesis chapter 6 asserts that the “Sons of God” are mere humans (the sons of Seth), not angelic beings, despite all of the clear evidence to the contrary, and that the “daughters of men” really meant the evil daughters of Cain. This view is unfortunately the dominant interpretation and what is taught to most seminary students, which means the pastor of your local church was likely taught this errant view. It is in conflict with history, with sound hermeneutics and exegesis, and with the rest of the biblical narrative, and even conflicts with the views of Paul, Peter, Jude, and Jesus himself.
We’re joined by pastor and author Doug Van Dorn as he helps us unpack many of the details of why the Supernatural interpretation of Genesis 6 was the dominant historical view and the correct exegetical view, and that the “Sons of God” really are divine being that came to earth, procreated with human women, and bore the Nephilim, the “men of renown”, which are the Giants. We also discuss some of the weak reasons for why the naturalistic views (namely, the Sethite Theory) fail to pass muster when it comes to historical and biblical scrutiny, and that there was nefarious intent, whether on purpose or not, to discredit Jesus as the Messiah, and to profane the Just, Holy, and Loving God of the Bible as a murderous genocidal maniac when he caused the Flood and ordered the wars against the Giants in Canaan, when in fact, God was preserving the pure human genome of Noah in order to bring our Savior to earth to ransom us from sin and death.
