Who are the Nephilim (Genesis 6) ?

It is fairly simple where in the verse does the verse say the nephilim were on the earth after the flood.

There were nephilim on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

And also afterward

What is another telling part about the nephilim in Genesis 6. Is the union between daughters of men and sons of God only produced male births. No women of renown is mentioned to have been born.

A union between male and female produce both male and female. If the birthing of just males would have been allowed to continue eventually there would have been no females left for The Messiah to come into the world through.

That does not say afterward the flood. The afterward is addressing when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them.

 

[BPPLEE]

According to Genesis, it is said they were there before and after the flood. Most people over look the "and afterward" part.

What's to stop mating now? Genetic regression.

Jde 1:6 - And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

I think it’s pretty clear that it means after the flood. That’s only my opinion though and yours is just as plausible

There is also when the spies said the nephilim were in the promise land. when The Hebrews finally went into the land there is not a record of The Hebrews having to defeat them. The spies saying the nephilim were there, was just part of the lies they told and the reason God took their life.

I personally believe the antichrist may be a nephilim. Being that he may be the seed of satan and an unbelieving women.

Yes but other giants existed after the flood. Goliath and his brothers, Og, and other tribes who were giants.

But nephilim (Hebrew) means fallen one. The translations using giants came from the Septuagint. Which translated the Hebrew word Nephilim as the Greek word gigentes.

Nephilim
Word Origin: Derived from the root נָפַל (naphal), meaning "to fall."
Usage: The Hebrew verb "naphal" primarily means "to fall" and is used in various contexts throughout the Old Testament. It can refer to physical falling, such as a person or object falling to the ground, or metaphorical falling, such as falling into sin or judgment. It also conveys the idea of being overthrown or defeated, as well as the act of prostrating oneself in worship or submission.

In scripture it says a 'he'.

A movie?

Yes & so true to the real thing, you should watch it, it's really good.

I've always read it to mean afterwards.

I'm going to have to disagree with you on it being true to the real thing.

That's OK, there are some exaggerated parts like the Giants being rocks that come to life

The Remnants Of The Giants

The mountains and rock faces are what I believe to be the remnants of the Giants from the great flood of Noah, we see faces, animals, mushrooms etc.... Here are some great video's that gives proof of this.

Jde 1:6 - And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

So what about the fallen angels that didn't leave their own habitation?

There were nephilim on the earth in those days, and also afterward

It is a simple verse that says the nephilim were on the earth in those days and also afterwards.

This passage is juxtaposed to God's decision to kill off humanity with the flood.

So when it says "afterwards," it also means after the flood.

Also, since this is a disputable matter, it's something to let go.

I should've added unless you're saying it's close to the Book of Enoch and whatever else, which is cool. The way I look at it is, it's a movie. It wasn't meant to be a documentary.

Since it's a disputable manner, shouldn't it be disputed rather than let go? Personally I think it's fun to argue over this sort of thing. Whatever/whenever the Nephilim were, they're long gone now. Unless one wants to argue that they're still around masquerading as little gray aliens from Zeta Reticuli or whatever.
