À propos de cet audio
This episode focuses on the overlooked strength of the Sethite view—the idea that the “sons of God” were from the godly line of Seth. The hosts highlight how this interpretation fits biblical themes of intermarriage, holiness, and covenant faithfulness, while staying consistent with the rest of Scripture.
This academic excerpt, "The Nephilim Myth: A Sethite View" by Samuel Delgado, challenges the popular "angelic view" of the Nephilim mentioned in Genesis 6. Delgado champions the "Sethite view," which posits that the "sons of God" who married the "daughters of men" were not fallen angels, but rather descendants of Seth intermarrying with the lineage of Cain. The text argues this interpretation provides a more consistent understanding of biblical themes like intermarriage—emphasizing spiritual separation over genetic purity—and highlights God's holiness in the contexts of the Flood and the Israelite conquest. Ultimately, the author contends that the Sethite view offers a coherent theological pattern seen throughout scripture, avoiding problematic implications of the angelic view regarding genetic heritage and God's character.
