452: The Sons of God and the Nephilim (feat. Tim Chaffey)

<p>"The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—whenever the sons of God went in to the daughters of men, who bore to them children. They were the mighty men of antiquity, men of renown." — Genesis 6:4</p> <p> </p> <p>Few sections of the Bible have been as controversial and misunderstood as Genesis 6:1–4. Who were the Nephilim? Were they giants? And who were the sons of God? Fallen angels, godly men, or wicked tyrants?</p> <p> </p> <p>Wild speculations and sensational claims abound, generating more questions than answers. Regrettably, this misinformation leads many to adopt conspiracy theories while others either avoid the topic altogether or believe there is no hope of discerning the meaning of these verses.</p> <p> </p> <p>Tim Chaffey joins me on this episode to examine the biblical and historical data to help clear up the confusion.</p> <p> </p> <p>Get Tim's book <a href="https://amzn.to/2PDLEWa" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><em>Fallen: The Sons of God and the Nephilim</em></a>.</p> <p> </p> <p>For additional show notes, visit <a href="http://shauntabatt.com/452" rel="noopener" target="_blank">ShaunTabatt.com/452</a>.</p> <p> </p> <p><em>The Shaun Tabatt Show</em> is part of the <a href="https://www.destinyimagepodcastnetwork.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Destiny Image Podcast Network</a>.</p>
