Who were "the sons of God" in Genesis 6? Ask NT Wright Anything

Does God still love Israel today? Should Christians work in the defense industry? Who were the “sons of God” in Genesis 6? And should modern Christians practice Passover or foot washing? In this episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird unpack deep questions about God’s enduring love for Israel, the ethical challenges of working in defense and military industries, the mysterious “sons of God” in Genesis, and the ongoing meaning of Passover and foot washing for followers of Jesus today. The conversation wrestles with ancient texts, modern dilemmas, and how to live faithfully in a complex world. 00:36 Joel Chapter 3 Verse 20 and Hosea 11—do they imply an ongoing, unbreakable covenant with ethnic Israel?”  10:21 Should I take this job? 20:38 “Does the story of the sons of God and daughters of men suggest that spiritual beings had physical, male characteristics and carnal desires—and are they truly sexed? 29:14 Should Christians today re-enact the Passover meal on Maundy Thursday, and are foot washing liturgies still relevant in our modern, non-agrarian context?
