Today I read Genesis 6 and found a very interesting verse that got me thinking!!
Genesis 6:4
New International Version (NIV)
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.
So I googled Nephilim to see who this interesting race was that existed at the same time as the human race
This is what I found :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephilim - very interesting reading if you like that kind of thing.
I just found it interesting that after 37 reading the Bible (maybe not all of those years all the time) I had not really thought of their existence. I had heard the thought that their were giants around a some point and maybe that Goliath was one of them but I had never thought of them has being another race and that 'the sons of God' might also be different to human beings.
Interesting stuff anyway and its not even New Year yet :)
