Genesis

So Genesis will be the book we are reading this week. I read 14 chapters from "The Book" translation this morning. Pretty interesting stuff, especially the section about The Sons of God having relations with the women of the earth in chapter 6. It sounds like the results were Giants being born and walking the earth, then later being referred to as the Heroes of old. Any thoughts on that passage?

Also, any of you Crossroaders who didn't get to hear the message yesterday, you may want to ask someone else about the prospect of "Future Church" that we talked about before and after the coffee break. This is not necessarily our church future, but some ideas about what it will take for the CHURCH to be successful in the future, given that so many of our teenagers leave the church after they leave home. Anyone with comments about the small group/medium group/large group idea, please post them here as well. I look forward to some feedback.

GENESIS READING SCHEDULE
Sunday 1-7
Monday 8-14
Tuesday 15-21
Wednesday 22-28
Thursday 29-35
Friday 36-42
Saturday 43-50

AND NEXT WEEK'S BOOK WILL BE EXODUS for continuity's sake.

I had read Genesis a couple of months ago and also came across this short but interesting passage. I researched it online and many people have different opinions on what the Nephilim could be. The passage says that the sons of heaven had intercourse with the daughters of man. Which leads me to believe that these beings may have been angels bumped out of heaven. The passage distinquishes between heavenly sons and earthly daughters, not earthly sons and earthly daughters. Not positive of course, but I do lean to that opinion.
