A DEBATE over the nature and identity of a shadowy group mentioned in the Book of Genesis has divided Christian theologians for the last 1,600 years.\xa0This month, our Iron and Myth roundtable discusses the \u201csons of God\u201d in Genesis 6:1\u20134. Were they divine beings or humans? And if they were just flesh and blood, how did their unions with \u201cdaughters of men\u201d result in the Nephilim (which we\u2019ll discuss next month)? Joining us to hash this out are\xa0Doug Van Dorn\xa0(www.douglasvandorn.com), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods, Dr. Judd Burton (www.BurtonBeyond.net), author of\xa0Interview With the Giant, and\xa0Brian Godawa\xa0(www.Godawa.com), best-selling author of the theological thriller\xa0Cruel Logic.\xa0Our discussion explores the interpretation of the phrase \u2018sons of God\u2019 in Genesis 6 and its implications in the Old and New Testaments. We delve into the Sethite view, the dynastic king view, and the supernatural view, examining the historical and linguistic context of the phrase. The Septuagint\u2019s role in clarifying the supernatural elements is also highlighted.\xa0\xa0We also address the fear of mythology and selective theology based on personal bias. The conversation also explores the divine right of kings, the nature of the angel of the Lord, the concept of the Nephilim, the cultural context of ancient beliefs, and the danger of interpreting ancient scriptures while projecting modern values onto the past.
