About this episode
Were the Nephilim supernatural beings... or simply the result of godly men marrying ungodly women?
In this episode, Jon Moffitt and Doug Van Dorn respond to Dr. Jordan Cooper's five arguments against the supernatural view of Genesis 6. Rather than attacking personalities, they carefully examine the biblical text, church history, and the arguments themselves to ask one question:
What does Scripture actually say?
The discussion covers:
• The meaning of "sons of God" and "daughters of men" in Genesis 6
• Why the Nephilim matter to the overall story of redemption
• The connection between Genesis, Jude, 2 Peter, and the New Testament
• The role of giants throughout the Old Testament
• Why the early church overwhelmingly held the supernatural view
• How later interpretations changed and why that matters today
Whether you agree or disagree, our goal is to model careful exegesis, charitable interaction, and confidence in God's Word.
