Sons of God (who are not human) had relations with human woman - thier offspring were the Nephilim - the spirits of the dead Nephilim are the demons.
I'm just pointing out that all it says is the "sons of God saw the daughters of men" and had offspring.The rest is conjecture. Especially the 'origin of demons' part.
EB, I know about them, the enlightening me part was does any one else.
I do not Get my ideas from others,though I believe that is what others would like to believe,But then again that is how we ALL learn,from teachers, friends family,etc.Even the disciples had to be taught! ...And Fund, they were from the Sons of God(The Fallen Angels)Who married the daughters of men.It is believed that the offspring were the demons that roam the earth seeking for food and water from the hunger they cannot fill and the thirst they cannot quench,and tormenting man from which they were born......But who shall tell me I am wrong And how are any of us to know who is right?
B
tx. for the "Get". i get the notion*.

Not if you read The Book of Enoch. Gen.6 makes sense in light of that teaching otherwise it seems out of place. If the readers/hearers of the books Moses understood that background then the minimal account given by him would be all that is necessary in getting the point across. This is why people come up with ideas about the Sons of God being men/kings ect. ect. because they do not understand the backdrop of Gen 6 in Intertestamental Jewish Literature. And this was the common understanding of the early Church Fathers.

I'm confused. Sorry if I'm asking for a repeat explanation. Do you mean that the book of Enoch says that the Nephilim are demons?
Yes I believe they existed as well. They were offspring of an unholy union of demons and daughters of men.
Traditional Jewish theology doesn't hold to that concept.
I've got a friend that will be doing a presentation on the Nephilim....I'll post back in a couple weeks with a summary of what he finds...should be interesting.
The modern nephilim are the beings we called "aliens" that travel in their flying machines (UFO's). They are not creatures from other planets but a breed of half human and half demon (fallen angel) living among us. They can't bear offspring so they abduct humans for reproduction!
The Bible warns that in the end time they will again over run the earth like in the days before the Great Flood. In ancient times they are grotesque in appearance but this time they have greatly advanced in genetic engineering that they look like normal humans. Many are probably the beautiful people the masses admire and idolize! I believe the nephilim will be the administrators and enforcers during the rule of the Antichrist in the coming Great Tribulation.
