You may disagree with the above, but when it comes to the Bible, there are as many different opinions as there are students of it (the Bible).

I’m very familiar with the passage. And as I said there is nothing that necessitates the notion that “sons of God” are fallen angels in Genesis 6.

That said, exploring the Bible is like brushing away sand at an archeological dig...it may be a slow process but it occasionally reveals an amazing view into our distant past.

We need to be careful not to brush away too much and fall into rank speculation.

Can you give me one place in the Old Testament where the term "sons of God" is used to mean anything other than angels?

No wonder such silly assertions flow like the Mississippi in flood stage from some naysayers.

They can’t even accept plain simple Scripture as fact.

How preposterous that they expect us to accept THEIR view of Scripture!

Shocking. Utterly galactically shocking.

I had no idea “Calvinists” couldn’t/wouldn’t accept simple, straightforward plain Scripture as fact.

Oh, that’s right . . .

THEY know better than God, what the “facts” “REALLY” are! LOL.
