Yes, did you watch You Tube?
The Nephilim are returning
That's why you should stay away from computers, mobile phones and running water.
Job was written by a different author.
Jesus is also called a Son of God. In the New Testament, Adam, and, most notably, Jesus Christ are called “son of God,” while followers of Jesus are called, “sons of God.”

Cronos, you quoted Mark, not me. That said, I am not sure what your point is?

It is all God's Word; and from the book of Job we learned from the Lord that the Sons of God were with Him during creation week:
"Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding . . . When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?" -- Job 38:4,7 KJV
That rules out the Sons of Seth.

>>Cronos, you wrote, "Jesus is also called a Son of God. In the New Testament, Adam, and, most notably, Jesus Christ are called “son of God,” while followers of Jesus are called, “sons of God.”
That is true, but so were the Old Testament angels, according to the ancient Hebrew scholars who translated the Hebrew into Greek.
Are you familiar with this passage?
"Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee. When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel." -- Deu 32:7-8 KJV
When you really think about it, that translation doesn't make a lot of sense. The LXX makes much better sense:
"Remember the days of old, consider the years for past ages: ask thy father, and he shall relate to thee, thine elders, and they shall tell thee. When the Most High divided the nations, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the nations according to the number of the angels of God." -- Deu 32:7-8 LXX
But why did the ancient Hebrew scholars translate that verse to angels of God? Perhaps there was a scribal error in the "modern" Masoretic text. There is a Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS) fragment of Deut 32:8 (Scroll 4Q37) that reads sons of God rather than children of Israel.
The English Standard Version (ESV) translators tended to use the DSS when it conflicted with the Masoretic text; so their version reads:
"Remember the days of old; consider the years of many generations; ask your father, and he will show you, your elders, and they will tell you. When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided mankind, he fixed the borders of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God." -- Deu 32:7-8 ESV
My point is, there are many reasons to believe the Old Testament Sons of God are angels, and frankly, no reason to believe they were the sons of Seth, except perhaps that Augustine understood it that way.
