Re: Nephillum????

Dearest Eileen,

You are very kind. I thank you for the warm welcome. I'm sorry I didn't respond earlier, but the world must have it's way after all. With regard to your question pertaining to the Nephilim, I am of the current understanding that they were destroyed at the time of the great flood. I find it difficult to accept that the punishment of the watchers, who abandoned their own homes, did not set an excellent example to the others that may dare to disobey the command of their Creator, not to go after strange flesh.

If we were to delve further into the Scriptures, however, perhaps we can see where this may bring us??? In Genesis 6 it states that" When men began to increase in number on the Earth, and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. Then the Lord said " My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days will be one hundred and twenty years". The Nephilim were in the Earth in those days- and also afterward- when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heros of old, and men of renoun. The Lord saw how great the wickedness on the Earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. The Lord was grieved that he had made man on the Earth, and His heart was filled with pain. So the Lord said " I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the Earth-men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air-for I am grieved that I have made them." But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord."

So sons of God procreated with the daughters of men, and the offspring were called the Nephilim. Now the sons of God had to be angels, otherwise the designation for them would be the sons of men, or sons of Adam. This can also be reasonably deduced because the offspring were superior to the sons of Adam, as they were heros, and men of renoun.

But this raises a huge problem, doesn't it??? After all our Lord Jesus is called "The Son of God" So how can this be reconciled??? Our Lord Himself is saying that Jesus was an angel. But wait!!! Adam is also refered to as a son of God.

What say you dear Eileen??? Christian love, Mr. Steve Tweet
