Also interestingly, that particular view was held by all Christian scholars for many, many centuries after Christ. Some have maintained the other major view--that the "Sons of God" referred to the line of Cain, and the "daughters of men" were from the godly line of Seth. However, criticism have been formed against this theory that there wasn't anything especially godly about the line of Seth, and, the view seems to discount predominant scholarship from many scholars of earlier times, who all embraced the interpretation that it was fallen angels involved with human women at the time spoken of in Genesis.An additional component to the interesting interpretation, is that the mixing of demons and human women corrupted mankind on such a vast scale, that that is the main reason that God is said to have destroyed the world with the Flood. It was done so because all of humanity was corrupted and wicked, and, following the Kinship Redeemer doctrine, understanding the need for an unblemished and perfect bloodline for Christ, that is why God had to destroy the world, so that Christ's line from Adam would be preserved. Of course, the only family, according to the Scriptures that were deemed righteous in God's eyes, was the family of Noah and his children. An interesting geneology can be traced from Christ, all the way back through to Noah, and hence to Adam and Eve.Still, fine biblical scholars have embraced both theories with passionate argument and persuasion. It is also interesting to note that Goliath, the giant that David killed, was believed to be 9-foot-six inches tall! Apparently God had sealed up the horde of demons involved with the mating with humans in the deep pit afterwards. Having said that, after the Flood, it seems that a few other demons decided to engage in the same activities as their brethren, thus giving rise to the groups of giants, including a giant city, in the Old Testament. Very interesting stuff.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Semper Fidelis,SHARK</blockquote>
