The sixth chapter of the Book of Genesis has spawned a lot of speculation and doubt among non-believers and immature Christians. Most often, this speculation comes from defining the Nephilim and the so-called “sons of God” as angelic beings who begat super-humans or giants. This same speculation has led many to count Genesis as nothing more than mere mythology because other ancient religions have stories of demigods. Of course, Scripture is no ordinary story and certainly no mere mythology. The principles to properly interpret this passage will be used everywhere in Scripture. The first is to consider the cross-references, then—though more importantly—we must consider the context. Doing just that reveals an important truth and provides a logical and cohesive reason for the Flood.
