The daughters of men were fair not beautiful.
Genesis 6

1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

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.<

Use the King James Version.   All of these new age translations are parsed and perfumed hogwash.

The word, “fair”, in verse 2, KJV, means, in Hebrew, “beautiful”, according to Strong’s Concordance. Brown-Driver-Briggs further defines it as good, pleasant to the sight.
Please tell me that you’re not one of those KJV people who refuse to believe you can look to the original Hebrew word to see what a word really means.

I like the KJV because it doesn’t change. You have to learn the language it is written in- 16th century English. The words don’t change meaning with the times. The succession of modern translations are linguistically out of date by the time they are on the market.

The Serpent and his disciples have attempted again and again to thwart God’s plan... Those ‘fallen angles’ of Genesis 6 have been judged as the devil to death ... This flesh journey is for all souls the opportunity to chose life eternal or getting blotted out forever... The Scripture indicates, the ‘tree of knowledge of good and evil’ and his best preachers/priests, planted some seeds along the way .. Much higher than average intellect .. always stirring up some scam pretending to be what they never were.

I have waited for decades to see how the gods of science were going to evolve their myth to explain what the Scripture foretold. Time is not on their side...
