The Sons of God Marrying the Daughters of Men, Part 3 (Genesis 6:1–2)

Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church Season 5 Episode 19

Apart from the creation account, Genesis 6:1–4 are probably the most scrutinized verses in the book of Genesis. Even many Christians see these verses as describing spirit beings having intimate relations with human women and producing children that are sort of half-spirit, half-human. In this devotion, we finish seeing from the Scriptures why that interpretation cannot be correct.
