Should I wait for the responses to the 3 & 4?
If we are to believe that the genesis text referring to Sons of God it would be the only text. No other time does an angel call his Son, Sons. My 3rd point was to validate that the Nephilim were very tall humans and the term used for giants is used both before and after the flood. So did angels come down again after the flood? No. The text makes more sense spiritual and rationally that they were the seed of Seth, a holy line. That holy line had descendants who saw the line of Cain as desirable and began to reproduce. Angels/Demons are spiritual being. Are we to believe that these spiritual demons laid with mankind, God's creation and God allowed it? I don't believe so. In against its completely acceptable to call Seth's seed the Sons of God as God references Jesus as the second or last Adam. In addition to that Man became a living soul having the breath of God in him. Man is the only created being with a soul (breath of God).
Again by passing point #3 again, Nephilim is used both before and after the flood. It is impossible for them to be half angel and human after the flood when only 8 souls survived. Even if you use Fallen it could easily be stating their spiritual status as no longer being of a holy seed. In any case the term is used again after the flood. Do you believe angels came down again? Also genitalia is for reproduction, angels don't have a soul nor do they have a seed nor a need to reproduce
herefore, the text actually says that these giants were 4,500 feet tall. Many supporters of the extreme figures argue this is a textual error and the verse should read 300 ells, or 450 feet.
So now your theory is that demons got with humans and that their dna is in the line of Noah and came out later? I think we're done here and will just have to disagree.
The spy's report was false and they were later eliminated ..despite hopeful theories, nephilim dna ended at the flood...a female could not have continued the DNA.Numbers 13:33
We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them."
Do you think that is metaphorically speaking or do you think the Nephilim were actually that tall, meaning probably hundreds of feet tall if you compare yourself to a grasshopper... I was glancing through a few crazy documentaries on youtube today, and one of them was saying the mount called the Devil's tower actually is the remnance of a Nephilim's foot ??? I was like ok, that person must be on crack or something, then that verse came up. Hmm... What do you think, were the Nephilim as tall as they make them to be?
The spies report was not false...The spy's report was false and they were later eliminated ..despite hopeful theories, nephilim dna ended at the flood...a female could not have continued the DNA.
Yes they were unappreciative..as to their aversion to going to a promised land, I honestly don't quite understand ..but it's recorded that the spies were killed for a false report ..and again, as to logic it's impossible that nephilim DNA continued..if it did, the flood account is incorrect.The spies report was not false...
God was angry because the Hebrews, after seeing all the wonders God did to get them out of Egypt... doubted Him... They had no faith..
Those giants were still there when Joshua showed up 40 years later.. But.. God defeated them.
So if Noah and his son's DNA was not corrupt what about their wifes?Again by passing point #3 again, Nephilim is used both before and after the flood. It is impossible for them to be half angel and human after the flood when only 8 souls survived. Even if you use Fallen it could easily be stating their spiritual status as no longer being of a holy seed. In any case the term is used again after the flood. Do you believe angels came down again? Also genitalia is for reproduction, angels don't have a soul nor do they have a seed nor a need to reproduce
Actually, I believe that Noah and his sons DNA was pure... It was the wives that had the corrupted DNA.So if Noah and his son's DNA was not corrupt what about their wifes?
Is there a reason that you believe that there could not be females? Or, as with the Ligar and Tigon... only the Ligar has the size limitation turned off while the Tigon doesn't keep growing..Nephilim were hybrid and so couldn't reproduce ..unless there were also female nephilim
Referring back to the OP on how tall the Nephalim were:
There are physical limitations to the size a human can grow to. The first such is known as the square-cube law. If a human were to be expanded to, say, three times his size while maintaining his same proportions he would not be three times heavier he would be three cubed or twenty seven times heavier. However, bone strength increases as the square of bone diameter so this hypothetical giant’s bone strength would not be three times greater, it would be three squared or nine times greater. This means that compared to a normal human being our hypothetical giant’s bones would be under three times as much strain. In other words such a giant would have difficulty supporting his own weight without his bones collapsing under him.
To illustrate, if a six foot tall man weighing 200 pounds were to be magnified three times, he would be eighteen feet tall and weigh 5400 pounds while his bone strength would only have increased enough to support 1800 pounds. Large creatures in the animal kingdom can compensate for this by having a much more massive bone structure to carry the weight.
Think here of animals like the elephant, the rhinocerus and the hippo.. Some animals can also compensate by spending a lot of time being bouyed in an aquatic environment. Whales are the largest creatures to have ever lived and they must spend their entire lives in water. In the event of beaching they eventually die of asphixiation because they lack the strength to work their own lungs without the support of water. Some humans suffering from genetic gigantism have grown as tall as 9 feet. Such individuals have mostly been “bean poles”. Almost all of them have been extremely frail and clumsy.
The clumsyness arises from the speed with which nerve impulses can travel from brain to muscle. In modern times the largest in proportion human being was Angus MacAskill who stood 7’9” tall and was 425 pounds. He seems to represent an upper limit to “normal” human giants.
I know fallen angels had sexual intercourse with women who in turn gave birth to Nephilim but don't know if the Nephilim themselves had sexual intercourse themselves. Good point though.
The Smithsonian collected many remains of large human remains and destroyed them because these remains did not fit the narrative.I'd assume their physiology was more like insect biology ..also a reason there's no skeletal evidence of them
