聖經上說，神也有兒子，那神的兒子們指的是誰？

創世紀
6:1當人在世上多起來，又生女兒的時候，
6:2神的兒子們看見人的女子美貌，就隨意挑選，娶來為妻。
6:3耶和華說：「人既屬乎血氣，我的靈就不永遠住在他裡面；然而他的日子還可到一百二十年。」
6:4那時候有偉人在地上，後來　神的兒子們和人的女子們交合生子，那就是上古英武有名的人。
6:5耶和華見人在地上罪惡很大，終日所思想的盡都是惡；
6:6耶和華就後悔造人在地上，心中憂傷。



「神的兒子們」，是指塞特敬虔的後代（Godly Sethites），根據路3：23-38耶穌的家譜，神的兒子明顯指從亞當、塞特、以挪士…到耶穌一支特殊的譜系，特別是指著與救恩有關的譜系，也是原本專指屬於神、信靠神、聖潔的敬虔後裔（參創4：26）。從上下文來看，由於這些敬虔的後裔受到不敬虔後裔的女子美貌所誘，即該隱的後裔與她們通婚，這種婚姻導致道德上的墮落和腐敗，也產生了更敗壞的下一代，即「偉人」，這些「墮落的人」，罪惡越來越多…，「耶和華見人在地上罪惡很大，終日所思想的盡都是惡」（創6：5），最後導致神以大洪水來除滅地上的活物，只保存了敬虔的挪亞一家和那些與他同在方舟□的（參創7：23）。

謝謝弟兄分享。

我想塞特後裔的敗壞和後來以色列人的敗壞如出一轍，都是在心靈和行動上背棄神，因而也被神棄絕。

有一點不明白,既然是敗壞的,為什麼稱他們為"偉人"和"英武有名"的,而不稱為"大惡人"呢??

There are several theories concerning the identity of the sons of God (b'nei elohim, בני האלהים, contrasted with "daughters of men") identified in the book of Genesis.

When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. (Genesis 6:1-6:2)

[edit] Theories
One theory is that the sons of God are the descendants of Seth, the pure line of Adam. The daughters of men are then seen as the descendants of Cain. This is the view put forth by the pseudepigraphical work: Conflict of Adam and Eve with Satan.

A second theory is that the sons of God are angels who came to earth and had children with the daughters of men. This view is supported by the Epistle of Jude:

And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their own home—these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day. (Jude 1:6)
This view is also the basis for much of the Book of Enoch.

A third theory revolves around the fact that "elohim" literally means "powers" and is, at times, used in the Bible to refer to powerful human rulers. In the Hebrew "Elohim" is God's name but it is a plural word.

A fourth theory relates the "sons of God" to the 70 sons of El and Athirat in the Canaanite tradition of Ugarit, from whose marriage with a race of titanesses (the daughters of man), the 70 nations of the earth were born. Each city or people thus had its own divinity, with whom they had a special covenant (i.e. Ba'al Be'rith = Lord of the Covenant). This marriage of the divinity with the city would seem to have Biblical parallels too with the stories of the link between Melkart and Tyre; Yahweh and Jerusalem; Chemosh and Moab; Tanit and Baal Hammon with Carthage, and may have been celebrated annually after the new year with a hieros gamos or sacred marriage, in which a Qadeshtu (Holy One) took the role of the God's consort, representing the city[1][2][3].

One belief is that God provided wives to all men (as he created Eve for Adam), or at the very least appointed one woman to one man. Man, impatient for his wife, pursued other mens daughters instead and/or chose multiple wives instead of one. It is believed that the "sons of God" are not Angels due to the punishment of man for this iniquity (Genesis 6:3), as well as many biblical references to humans as children of GOD (Isaiah 43:6: "...my sons...").

Also, the "sons of God" are not believed to be the same as the nephilim due to Genesis 6:4, which is perceived to state: 'there were giants walking the earth while the "sons of God" came in to the daughters of men...'

Finally, Jude 1:6 is considered to be unrelated, as no direction is given to the Angels descent. This scripture is perceived (in this belief) to merely touch on the Angels who followed Satan. Also, the verse gives no time frame for the Angels to pursue women. It does not say they abandoned their home to live in frivolity on earth. Instead it is believed to state they abandoned their positions and (seemingly) were immediately punished. Notably, this final belief seems to provide solution to the conflict of early procreation without incest.

說到偉人，並不是偉大的人的意思。偉人是生的高大魁梧。英武有名是指能征善戰。

我比較同意第一種說法。謝謝轉貼。
