I’m writing this post to put my own opinions out there regarding the book of Enoch (which is intentionally NOT in the Christian Bible) and one verse that is in the Bible that some people want to use to build a theology about alien beings. That verse is found in Genesis, chapter 6, verse 4. “The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.”

First, let me say this. Anyone with a one-verse theology needs to take their verse and seek God with it. The purpose of the Bible is for us to understand relationship with God. Genesis 6:4 is in context with God wiping mankind from the face of the earth. So reading this verse in context, you must consider verses 7 and 8, which read: “So the LORD said, ‘I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.’ But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.”

“The Nephilim were on the earth in those days” may just be a statement declaring that those people were the cause for God’s wrath to remove people from the earth. It doesn’t mean that they came from another planet. The term “sons of God” throughout the Old Testament refers to the men of Israel or men of faith. “Nephilim” could just be a label to describe the men of Israel (or in this case the sons of Seth) who refused to exclusively marry women of Israel (women of faith or Daughters of Zion). It cannot be angelic beings or fallen angels because spirits do not have reproductive seed. There is no reasonable assumption that God would have chosen to give us only one verse of Scripture to identify that He made alien beings to live on other planets. We have absolutely zero scientific evidence to prove that there are alien beings even with mankind’s space travels. If you substituted the word “Nephilim” with the word “Democrats” and read the sentence again, you might have a closer truth than substituting the word aliens. You could insert the words “pedophile” or “human trafficker” and get another thought process. Wouldn’t we all want those people wiped off the face of the earth?

Listen! Please hear me. If you are spending time foolishly being led astray by the devil’s cunnings schemes, you are missing the heart of the Biblical message. God’s heart is for you to know Him, listen to His voice and obey Him. It’s simple if you want it to be.

I’m including a Gotquestions.org article and video link here so that you will understand that the book of Enoch is not from God. The book of Mormon is not from God. The book of Islam is not from God. Again, the book of Enoch is not from God. https://www.gotquestions.org/book-of-Enoch.html
