March 23, 2018 21:19 - 43 minutes - 32.6 MBNot too long after Adam & Eve was created, some men called upon the name of the Lord, while many didn’t. Some were good, some were wicked.

Does the term ‘sons of God’ refer to angels or particular men who are faithful to God? Regardless of which view, in Chapter 6 we see the whole world turns to wickedness. This in turn brings about the world flood...
