In this study, we'll talk about something big that may have been going on behind the scenes during the angel incursion of Genesis 6:1-4 - something that may also explain the genocides God later instructed Israel to commit in the Promised Land. We'll also look at how angels came to be on the earth after the Flood, why God may have let that happen, and why it's not still happening today. Lastly, we'll examine the popular Sethite View and explain why it simply doesn't make sense - especially in light of the rest of Scripture.

SMALL GROUP QUESTIONS:

- What do you think about the idea of God ordering the genocide of certain people groups in the Promised Land because their genetic lineage produced giants?

Does it change the way you view Israel's conquest of Canaan?

- How do we reconcile the idea of God commanding the annihilation of entire people groups with His loving nature?

- What conspiracies and schemes do you think Satan might be orchestrating in today's world in his vain attempts to thwart the plans of God?

- How should Christians approach passages in scripture that seem fantastic or hard to believe?

- While God is never the author of evil, we know He regularly permits it and sometimes even uses it to help accomplish His greater purposes and plans. Are you at peace with the idea of your life being used by God as part of His greater plans - even if it includes pain and suffering for you?
