“…the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men…”  (Genesis 6)

 

It is a rare thing for me to say I am disappointed with John Calvin or Arthur Pink. But I must confess my disappointment with them on one (1) point.  Genesis six (6)  In Genesis six (6) the Scriptures are as plain and clear as they could possibly be yet commentaters like Calvin twist them and Pink avoids it altogether. Matthew Henry as well deceives us in what is clear. Reader, these men are very loved by this writer. I still love them, yet I am greatly disappointed in them.

In Genesis six (6) we are told plainly that the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men and the offspring were giants, men of renown. Could it be plainer? Fallen angels had relations with human women and the product of this intercourse was giants. This is where Goliath and other giants and “mighty men” came from.  Could this explain how David’s mighty men could kill eight-hundred (800) warriors with a spear?  I know not but it is a thought is it not.

Commentaters say that the sons of God were really from the “godly line of Seth.”  Others say, these were giants-sized men that had relations with women. And others say, they were not giant but greatly wealthy men that came in unto the daughters of men.  Good grief, Why would otherwise faithful and loyal commentaters wrest and twist these Scriptures? Reader is this not like saying 3+2 = 1  or 2+2= 5?

Am I the one (1) that is off or are these good servants of the Lord playing Holy Spirit and telling us what they think is best for us concerning Genesis six (6), pray tell.

Really, give me feedback if you will…what do you think?  Rob I know where you stand.
