I'm just wondering what you tell your students who ask you what the "sons of God" are?Of course... did you forget that I don't actually believe this nonsense ever happened?
You did, didn't you?
Put your Classical Greek away and try Koine.The word "gospel" means "good news."

And how do you answer a student if they ask: What is a siren?You asked me as a literature professor. I answered as a literature professor.
If a student asks, I preface that with "in my professional opinion..."

There was no rain, the earth was humid and warm. At night there was always a heavy dew. Also, evidence from encapsulated bubbles in amber have shown that the atmospheric conditions were much different. Higher O2 levels and higher barometric pressure...why do we just assume that everything 6000 years ago was exactly the same as it is today?
12 As a sign of this everlasting covenant which I am making with you and with all living beings, 13 I am putting my bow (rainbow) in the clouds. It will be the sign of my covenant with the world. 14 Whenever I cover the sky with clouds and the rainbow appears, 15 I will remember my promise to you . . .
If it had not rained until after the deluge then rainbows "in the cloud," would be a new phenomena.
They would not have existed pre-deluge since they are created by the refraction of light passing through suspended water (water drops).
It seems likely that God used the new phenomena known as rainbows as a 'reminder' to both him
Rain only happens when the dew point is reached. A heavy dew is not rain.Humid and warm would lead to more rain, not less. Dude, do you even meteorology?

Well, if that's the only response you have.......you don't understand the difference between the conflict of a one man with another, as the teaching indicates, and the contamination of all of human kind with the survival of a pure line of human DNA at stake.He didn't turn the other cheek? hmm...

A myth that constructed the stone at Baalbeck or stone of the pregnant woman, the sturcture at Machu Picchu,A myth, of course.

the sun gate near the the ancient city of Tiahuanaco in Peru, and others...
So, you kicked the 14 kids out of the house and got restraining orders on them so they couldn't come withing 100 yards of the farm, you , your wife or the one child that had a good heart....
That's what God did..... in His way.
No... those things were constructed by actual people.
So do I have this correct?"I believe it's a mythological creature thought to lure Greek sailors to their deaths with its hypnotic singing."
Yes.TLK Valentine said:Any other mythical creatures you want to discuss?
He isn't power hungry as He is all powerful. The fact is that the human race was going to be totally wiped out. God was disgusted with the humans. Noah found favor due to the fact that he still was a Godly man and of pure DNA. Who knows, maybe there were others with pure DNA but they were not Godly and had turned into the unrighteous people that God despised. So, God agreed to start over with Noah and his family.Isn't God supposed to be omnibenevolent? So instead of coming down and offering guidance, he decides to commit mass genocide. This doesn't sound like an all loving God. This sounds like a power hungry, violent human being.
How do you interpret this, then?It's also important to note that Bible never actually says that it didn't rain before the flood,
Do you have some examples of these options?Are we presuming that I have all the authority and powers of an omnipotent deity in this scenario?
If so, even with my limited imagination, I have a feeling I could come up with more options than "kill them all".
