"Sons of God" or in the Hebrew the BENI HA ELOHIM are also referred to as demons, not human. They came down and had offspring known as the Nephilim. All the human race had been contaminated except for 9. When Methusela died, there remained 8, or Noah's family. Then came the flood.

Well . . . I suppose if you want to read it like that, you can. The simplest, easiest, and most consistant with scripture interpretation of the "sons of God" as it realtes to the "daughters of men" is as I described before. The human race was contaiminated by false doctrines and unbelief, not some sort of strange "offspring". Only 8 were saved because only eight still had faith in the promises of God. We have always been saved by faith, and so were Noah and his family.

"(24) And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? (25) For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marrige; but are as the angels which are in heaven" Mark 12:24,25

Think on these things.

Not to disagree with you, quite, but could you give a Biblical passage where the b'nay Elohim, are identified with demons/ or as being demons/ demonic?

Strictly, the Nefilim are not the half-offspring, but the descending gods themselves! Nefilim means "descenders, those who came down."

I am not LDS, but "Nephi," a Mormon prophet, is a name meaning literally "from above," etc.

Jesus claimed not to be of the same descent as his followers. You came from below, but I come from above, he said.

Noah himself had a "god" for a father, so the contamination was not a matter of ancestry, but of sin and character. By contrast, his mother is called Bat-enosh, literally just "daughter of the Earthling," "earthling-woman."

"Matoshelah" literally means "airplane man," "man of the aerial vehicle," so I suppose he spent many of his 969 years fooling around with ultralights in his garage, much to the consternation of his wife.
