Perhaps you misunderstood my comment. David was not, Goliath was a Nephilim. The Nephilim were descendants of Satan’s fallen angels who mated with human women. It was satans attempt to corrupt the blood to Jesus Christ. Jesus could never have been the perfect sacrifice for our sins if His blood was corrupted by satan’s angels. Please read: Genesis chapter 6, Numbers chapter 13, Joshua chapter 11 & 13. There are other Scriptures as well. Hope that helps!
Oh, I’m pretty clear on the chronology. Wasn’t the Flood supposed to eliminate those of impure blood? Didn’t the Flood predate David’s little dust-up with Goliath? I wonder if David honed his sling skills by hunting dinosaurs.
Not the only way to square the circle.
sons of God can refer to creatures that in some way more closely resemble God than most.
Being a spiritual being is an option; participating in the supernatural//elevated activity of God is a second.
In this case I would (and have) argued for the descendants of Adam retaining a higher level of initial knowledge and coordination that was lost over time—talented folks in some ways, but a bit too inclined to think that by propagating themselves things will turn out fine.
Really talented offspring resulting, who lack paternal oversight. Bastards in multiple senses of the word
Think Elon Musk on viagra as far as the sons of God go.
(sorry for jumping in with an alternative take, SJ-—gundog is an old friend)
“The Nephilim were descendants of Satan’s fallen angels who mated with human women.”
Angels, fallen or not, lack bodies.
Angels are nit material beings and can’t mate with humans.
The sons of God are the Sethites and the daughters of man are Cainites
