[Fruit of the Spirit]

"Why was there a flood?"

Genesis 6:1-8

When men began to multiply on the face of the ground, and the daughters were born to them, the sons (angels) of God saw that the daughters of men were fair; and they took to wife such of them as they chose. Then the Lord said, "My spirit shall not abide in man for ever, for he is flesh, but his days shall be a hundred and twenty years."
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came into the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. These were the might men that were of old, the men of renown.
The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. So the Lord said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the ground, man and beast and creeping things and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them. But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.

Yes and this is what is to reoccur again prior to the return of the REAL Christ. Has not happened yet.

Re: "the sons (angels) of God"

We do not know them to be angels. The phrase "sons of God" is used to refer to angels yes but also men such as Abraham. There is a school of thought this refers to marriage outside the Faith. Such as a Jewish man marring a Canaanite's daughter. Hybrid vigor anyone. Considering the height and weight of the average American male in comparison to a very inbred society (Japan) and you may have your giants. The United States is a very mongrel nation and is no doubt the giant among nations both in material wealth and power but also our very own personal size.

I do not know but I do know the phrase may not refer to angels nor demons (fallen angels)
