Were the Nephilim to blame? Were they evil?

Could you please explain how my view makes God "a failure and a baby killer"?

If the flood was a literal-historical event that happened, one in which the whole globe was flooded, that would mean a lot of dead children.

Which would not be the case if the flood wasn't a literal-historical event.

How does a non-literal flood make God a baby-killer?

How did Noah know which animals were clean and which were unclean? He must have had some knowledge of the law

My guess is God let Noah know which were which.

we miss this all when we obsess over the literal. half-angel super breeds is the common takeaway but has nothing to do with the goal of the account.



That's an excellent observation. The interbreeding story is a fantastic distraction. Contributes nothing to the reason that primordial history is Sacred.

Infinite increase of sin. Human life had entered an eternal state of sin. That's because Lamech launched a culture that will give eternal reign to sin and death. A culture that will eternally blaspheme God.A culture fit to judge.. er I mean cleanse.

.
  1. Sevenfold vengeance shall be taken for Cain: but for Lamech seventy times sevenfold.
  2. Matthew 18:22
    Jesus saith to him: I say not to thee, till seven times; but till seventy times seven times.
