Who were the Nephilim? Were the "sons of God" in Genesis 6 fallen angels, believers, or something else entirely?

In this episode of Christendom and the World, Pastor Andrew Preus responds to a popular discussion surrounding Genesis 6 and examines its claims in light of Scripture. Rather than relying on speculation or extra-biblical sources, he carefully works through the identity of the Nephilim, the role of the Book of Enoch, the nature of angels and demons, and what the Bible teaches about God's judgment before the Flood. Throughout the discussion, Pastor Preus emphasizes the importance of letting Scripture interpret Scripture and keeping the focus on Christ and God's saving work for mankind.

This episode is Pastor Andrew's response to the On the Line podcast episode, "The Nephilim: Giants, Demons, and the Unseen World of Scripture," featuring Bryan Stecker and Noah Hahn. Watch the full discussion here: https://youtu.be/TV5KvGNb8RY
