Genesis 6

4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.

Ya know, it's one thing being called a Neanderthal but now you're calling us Nephilim?



LOL!

I have often wondered about that passage in Genesis as well as Genesis 6:2. They puzzle me.

"The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair; and they took wives for themselves from those who were pleasing to them."

Who were the sons of God that they should look upon the daughters of men? It seems as if this sentence is saying that they were not men. Then who were they?
Quite a lot could be interpreted from that sentence.
