Who are the sons of God in reference to in Genesis 6???
Genesis 6:2 says in the following versions/translations below:
Genesis 6:2 King James Version That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
Genesis 6:2 Good News Bible some of the heavenly beings saw that these young women were beautiful, so they took the ones they liked.

Here we have "sons of God" in the KJV and in most other versions/translations, however, there are two others in the above quote that uses the words "heavenly beings" and "supernatural beings" that has resulted in the creation of this thread, which tells me that there are those who believe differently about this from my understanding about this to the point that at least two versions/translations are using words other than the "sons of God."
Thoughts?
