if sonhood is inherited from Adam, then both Cain and Seth are sons.

if the chosen cannot mix with those outside, there is no salvation to the Gentile.
Sonhood is a gift of God and given to those whom he chooses and who obey him. It has nothing to do with the flesh

It's really hard to imagine that some of you believe that the offspring of a believer and non-believer are giants in the earth, giants 9 feet to 12 feet tall, sometimes a whole nation of them. smh

It's really hard to imagine that some of you believe the fantasical notion that giants resulted from angels mating with humans when it's well known that a naturally occuring genetic defect causes gigantism.

btw Og wasn't 12 feet tall; his bed was; so that probably puts him at 10 feet or so. The tallest person in the US according Guinness World Records was 9 feet tall. Why don't you apply the same rule of causation in both cases?

Btw, his bed was more like 15 feet long. He may have been closer to 14 feet tall. We were as grasshoppers in their sight. A whole nation of gigantism. o_O

When one understands the battle over the seed line in Genesis 3:15, it would bring to light what's going on. It is very dark and wicked, not gigantism.

What are you talking about? This makes no sense to me. I don't know what you're going on about with races
in the days of Noah there was a great evil happening on the earth that has not been seen since that time, and it had something to do with marriages which produced a very special kind of offspring which does not occur outside of the evil that was taking place.

there are three general views of this topic:

  1. angels taking human women as wives or concubines
  2. interracial marriage between male descendents of Cain and female descendents of Seth
  3. God-fearing men marrying women who do not fear God

Such a demonic evil that God decided to kill all living things with a flood.

His bed was 9 cubits, or about 13.5 feet. It wasn't a whole nation; it was a tribe. Yes, if two with the genetic defect mate that defect could be passed on to the offspring, eventually producing a "nation" of giants. So that's way less far-fetched of an idea than aliens mating with humans.

You made this up because that's not stated in scripture

Sonhood is a gift of God and given to those whom he chooses and who obey him. It has nothing to do with the flesh
In all of creation only one creature is made in Gods image and likeness and given dominion on earth

“This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭5:1-2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭3:38‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Its mans purpose in being created God spoke it first showing man’s place in creation

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. …So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:26-27‬ ‭KJV‬‬

children are made of and in the likeness and image of thier father there’s no other creature in scripture who is made in his image and likeness

mans purpose in being created is to be the children of the Father made in his likeness and image to fill the earth

Adam was begotten in spirit through faith. That's why he was a son of God
That's not what Scripture says. It simply calls him "the son of God" with no qualifiers or causal process.

Luke 3:38 the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.

Which is the reasonable and sensible choice because it's ubiquitous throughout time
It doesn't account for the existence of giants, mighty men, or men of renown being the offspring of such unions. Your "reasonable and sensible" may work for you but it's not a convincing argument for me.

Look beyond the surface, beyond the letters. How can anyone be a son of God except through faith? They can't

Of course he did. Do you think God would have left him in the dark upon whom the future of humanity depended? The gospel was preserved and guarded by the sons of God until Noah carried it to the other side of the flood where it was taught to Abraham by Noah and Shem, who lived concurrent with Abraham 58 years and over 100 years, respectively
There is no biblical basis for that claim.

Where is that in Scripture? Nowhere. You claim to hold to Scripture but invent things that aren't there.
The prophets would have laughed and rolled their eyes at you. Do you seriously think God didn't fully inform the person upon whom the future of the human race depended about his and mankind's redemption? You really are getting to be tedious and trivial in your comments
