The sons of God couldnt have been the sons of Seth or other godly men for the following 7 reasons: 1.) There were no men godly enough to save during the Antediluvian Age except Abel (Gen. 4:4; Heb. 11:4), Enoch (Gen. 5:21-24; Heb. 11:5), and Noah (Gen. 6:8; Heb. 11:7), as far as Scripture records are concerned. Shall we conclude that these three men were the sons of God who married the daughters of Cain and produced races of giants in the earth in those days before the flood (Gen. 6:4)? We have no record of any such marriage or offspring of Abel before he was murdered. Regarding Enoch, are we to believe Methuselah and his other children were the giants? Are we to believe Noahs three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth were giants? If so, where is our authority for this? Had this been true, there would have been nothing on earth after the flood but giants born of Noahs giant sons, for by his children the whole earth was replenished (Gen. 10:1-32). That would cause another unsolved mystery---how giants became ordinary sized men again 2.) The time of the marriages of the sons of God disproves the theory that they were sons of Seth. Marriage of Seths sons could not have taken place during the first 325 years, for he had only one son of marriageable age up to that time (Gen. 5:1-8), and he (Enos) was not godly (Gen. 4:26). To say there were no such marriages before Enos would contradict Gen. 6:1-2, which shows sons of God married daughters of men when such daughters began to be born. Shall we conclude that daughters were not born in the first 325 years? If so, then where did Cain, Seth, and others get their wives? Furthermore, such marriages between godly men and ungodly daughters were not born during the last 600 years before the flood, because Noah was the only son of God by righteousness during this time (Gen. 6:8-9; 7:1; 2 Pet. 2:4-5). His sons were preserved in the ark because of being pure Adamite stock and not because of personal righteousness. The foregoing facts then, would limit these marriages to the 731 years between the first 325 years and the last 600 of the Antediluvian Age; whereas sons of God actually married daughters of men throughout the entire 1,656 years of that age. Gen. 6:1-2 makes it clear that this happened when men began to multiply on the face of the earth 3.) Gen. 6:4 teaches that there were giants on the earth in those days before the flood), and also after that (after those days which were before the flood) as a result of the sons of God marrying the daughters of men. If, as is taught, the sons of God were the sons of Seth, we can account for them after that (after the flood), for the line of Seth was continued through Noah. But with the daughters of Cain (supposed to be the daughters of men), the story is different. Cains line perished in the flood, both men and women, which means there were no daughters of Cain after the flood, for sons of God to marry. 4.) The Bible gives us no reason to believe that the statement the sons of God saw the daughters of men and saw they were fair should be limited to Cains daughters. Other families had daughters too, thousands of families that made up the many branches of the race before and after the flood. These were daughters of men, too. In the 1.656 years before the flood (which is the period in which Seth and Cain lived), there must have been from 150.000,000 to 500,000,000 people. It is hard to believe that as many as half of these were godly and half ungodly; and we know they were not limited to two lines - the line of Seth and the line of Cain. Regarding Seths daughters we have reason to believe that they were as fair as the daughters of Cain - beautiful enough to attract men as husbands for themselves. The line of Seth alone survived the flood, so we know this is true. Gen. 6:1-2, therefore, cannot be said to refer to only the daughters of Cain; and the term daughters of men cannot be limited to mean only the daughters of Cain. 5.) The very expression, sons of God and daughters of men, indicate two different kinds - one the product of God, and the other the product of man. Seth was not God, so why call the sons of God the sons of Seth? 6.) It is a matter of record that Seths children were as ungodly as Cains. The first-born of Seth even started idolatry as proven in Gen. 4:26, 7.) With the exception of Noah and his family all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth, before the flood (Gen. 8:12), which means the entire race (besides Noahs family) had become a mixture of fallen angels and men, or giants. Only Noah and his family had preserved their pedigree pure from Adam; and this is really why they were saved in the ark. They were the only ones capable of giving the race a new, clean start after the flood. It was said of Noah that he was a just man and perfect in his generations (Gen. 6:9). The word for perfect in Hebrew is tamim, which means without blemish. It is the technical word for bodily perfection, and NOT moral perfection. Hence it is used of the sacrificial animals of the OT, which had to be of pure stock and without blemish (Ex. 12:5; 29:1, etc.), without spot (Num. 19:2; 28:3-11, etc.) The use of this word in connection of Noah means that he and his sons were the only pure Adamites left, and for such purity they (regardless of the sons position in personal holiness) were all preserved in the ark Nephilim before the flood AND after the flood It was the purpose of Satan and his fallen angels to corrupt the human race and thereby do away with the pure Adamite stock through whom the seed of woman should come (Gen. 3:15) This, he tried to accomplish by sending some of his fallen angels to marry the daughters of men as in Gen. 6:1-4, and producing the giant nations through them. There are TWO such eruptions of fallen angels taught in Gen. 6:4. There were giants in the earth in those days (before the flood); and also after that (after the flood), when the sons of God (fallen angels) came into the daughters of men, and they bear children to them (the angels). Satan almost succeeded in his plan during the first eruption, for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. (6:5). They were all destroyed in the flood, but this did not stop Satan from making a further attempt. Since God promised to never destroy the world again with a flood, Satan sent a second group of fallen angels to marry the daughters of men (after that: after the flood). Thats why more giants were produced. These were not survivors of Noahs flood, but new giants produced after that (after the flood: Gen. 6:4) https://youtube/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=b_-vWCY5lN0
