Chapter 6

The sons of God marry the daughters of men—Men turn to wickedness, the earth is filled with violence, and all flesh is corrupted—The Flood is promised—God establishes His covenant with Noah, who builds an ark to save his family and various living things.

1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

Came to pass …… Daughters were born unto them. To make more children.

2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

Who were the Sons Of God ? Adam Seth’s lineage? Not Cain’s? Does this indicate other nationalities or people not of Adam on the Earth? Who were the daughters of men ? Non religious people? Non-religious daughters? Daughter’s not of Adam? Could this be the first sign of atheism daughters of men that don’t believe in God? Marrying the sons of God?

3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

Now we are back to the Lord said. Are God Lord God one and the same or different identities? My spirit shall not always strive with man…..

What is meant by spirit if We were created in his image and likeness what is the spirit of God? And why will it not always be with man?
