Sources on the Son's of God in Genesis 6 being Angels!

[MAN WHO KNOWS THE SECRET]

Note that plural gods elohim' appears in the earliest Hebrew texts, even though it is translated as God (El) in modern texts.

"...The sons of gods (bene ha-elohim') saw the daughters of men that they were fair..." - Genesis 6:2a

"The sons of God (or children of God; 'bene elohim' and variants) are divine members of God's heavenly host...The title 'sons/children of God' is familiar from Ugaritic mythology, in which the gods collectively are the 'children of El'...The sons/children of God are also found in Phoenician and Ammonite inscriptions, referring to the pantheon of sub-ordinate deities, indicating that the term was widespread in the West Semitic religions." - Oxford Companion to the Bible

[RhetorTheo]

Although I consider that to be a possibility, I believe the "sons of God" to be angels, not lesser gods that are part of the godhead. The term "sons of God" was used a number of times throughout the OT, and the context makes it pretty clear that it means angels. Also, apocryphal/pseudepigraphical books such as the Book of Enoch allege that they were angels.

I think the book of 1 Enoch explains much of Genesis 6. Also there is quite an interesting website at alienresistance.org . Under main menu, check out "case for Enoch".

I know the name of the site sounds wierd, but it is interesting.

I've always been intrigued by this topic as well. Hugh Ross has some good/helpful material on it in his book, "The Genesis Question."
