COMMENT: There is only one reason for Isaac and Rebekah’s grief of
mind and this was that their son married outside of his Adamic race.

7. Is this supported by what Isaac told Jacob, his other son? Genesis 28:1-
2.

COMMENT: The "sons of God" are therefore continuing to find wives out-
side of their race today -- and woe betide any who suggest this is defying
YEHOVAH God and should cause the grief of mind that Esau subjected
Isaac and Rebekah to.

This is labeled racist by most, and a racist is terribly vilified today. However,
the importance of understanding the difference between the two creations
of man in Genesis one and two cannot be over-estimated; and the failure of
the shepherds of Israel to draw attention to this difference has paved the
way for not only the so-called “Theory of Evolution” but also the lack of in-
terest in Scripture by our young people today. As a result, many people do
not believe the biblical account of the creation thinking that the world was
created only six thousand years ago.

8. Does Genesis teach that the world was created around six thousand
years ago? Genesis 1, Genesis 2.

COMMENT: A careful reading shows that Mankind (male and female) were
created, as stated in Genesis 1, and told to multiply, replenish and subdue
the earth. In Genesis 2 -- some unspecified time later when there was no
man to till the ground (Genesis 2:5) -- the "Man Adam" was created and
put in the Garden on his own to dress it and to keep it. In verse 18
YEHOVAH God takes pity on his being on his own and gives him Eve.

If all this truth were taught who would doubt the biblical version?

The "Sons of God" and the "Daughters of Men"

1. There is a text in the history of Bible interpretation that has aroused more
curiosity, animosity and divergence of opinion than most. Genesis 6:1-4.

COMMENT: It is at once tantalizing and deeply puzzling to those drawn to
its web. What is the most difficult and contentious is the identification of the
main participants in this short passage -- the "sons of God," the "daughters
of men" and the "Nephilim" (or "giants"). Down through the ages an im-
pressive array of scholars has backed up each of the three major positions
taken on the identification of these three groups of participants.
