Views of Genesis 6 Nephilim

Fallen angels viewSatan and/or his fallen angels bred with human women and had offspring that were called Nephilim.
Fallen angels overtook men viewFallen angels and/or Satan possessed men and caused them to breed with women.
Sethite viewThe sons of God were the godly line from Adam to Seth down to Noah, and the Nephilim were fallen children who sought after false gods.
Fallen men viewGodly men (sons of God) took ungodly wives, and their descendants (Nephilim) followed after the false gods, rejected God, and fell far from God in wickedness.

Many respected Christians have commented on this topic over the years, and their work is to be highly regarded. This discussion is not to impugn their work in any way, but to build on it in iron-sharpening-iron fashion. In fact, in writing this, their research has provided great insights into what I now personally believe about the sons of God and the Nephilim, and I commend them for their work.
