Misconceptions About the Nephilim - Continue

 Misconception: The Nephilim were fathered by humans.

Fact: Their fathers are "called sons of the true God." (Genesis 6:2) The Bible uses this same expression to describe angels. (Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:7) Angels had the power to materialize in human form. (Genesis 19:1-5; Joshua 5:13-15) The apostle Petere spoke of "the spirits in prison, who had formerly been disobedient when God was patiently waiting in Noah's day.: (1 Peter 3:19, 20) Referring to the same circumstances, the Bible writer Jude explains that some angels "did not keep their original position but forsook their own proper dwelling place." - JUDE 6.
