Then discard it when it suits your fancy and tickles your ears.

When Genesis 7 says that everything that had breath died except that which was with Noah, and yet that's not convincing to someone, they aren't putting their stock in the Bible...

Re: Were the Nephilim and the Sumerian mythical kings somehow related?

Rick, don't bother. Look, this is not a subject we will agree on and it isn't one that has been agreed on since about the 4th century. We have evidence that it was, at least, the majority view before and during the second temple. We all stated are cases and the evidence is enough for all 3 sides to...

Re: Were the Nephilim and the Sumerian mythical kings somehow related?

Paul, your own Wiki link on the subject shows it wasn't universally accepted like you want to claim. You're cherry-picking evidence. Ultimately it matters what the Bible says, not men; that's the core disconnect here. You want to defer your understanding to men, I defer my understanding to what's i...

Re: Were the Nephilim and the Sumerian mythical kings somehow related?

I wouldn't use God's name in vain just because you are a little frustrated. That's not His name, and it wasn't in vain, and I'm not frustrated. I deal with this emotional hard-headedness from people a lot. Taking the Lord's name in vain has more to do with tacking the Lord's name on your personal s...

Matt thinks Calvinism is the bible, the Bible says different. I don't base my theology on Matt Slick's opinions.

Re: Were the Nephilim and the Sumerian mythical kings somehow related?

You have not researched or dug into the angel hybrid theory to claim that because if you did you would understand how it does explain people worshipping fallen angels and their hybrid off-spring as gods.You have'nt done the research and so do not know. I think you should research it yourself and re...

Re: Were the Nephilim and the Sumerian mythical kings somehow related?

You are reading the NT and other passages BACK into Genesis, which isn't standard practice. Not saying you are wrong mind you, but you know what I mean. Yet, we must address ALL the other passages in which sons of god means divine beings and why here, in its natural reading, it means otherwise. The...

Re: Were the Nephilim and the Sumerian mythical kings somehow related?

As the Cram says too many opinions... Dude, you're repeating the very same addressed arguments. -Ripping two verses out of a greater context of Jude, which is a polemic against early apostasy, using examples of apostasy in the Egyptians, fallen angels, and Sodomites. Paul the Master of Theology als...

Re: Were the Nephilim and the Sumerian mythical kings somehow related?

And why this mating was so wrong that it brought the wrath of God on all people AND how giants ( one possible interpretation) came of out of it. Also how it the mating resulted in so much wickedness and then we have to address what Jude and Peter were talking about when the said that angels were pu...

You aren't grasping even the basic view of this argument, at all.
And you aren't even addressing the points I'm making, you're just arguing talking points that were addressed in my initial post.

Re: Were the Nephilim and the Sumerian mythical kings somehow related?

The funny part about you hammering on this is that you haven't yet explained how these angel-hybrids somehow escaped God's wrath . At least this part, we can agree is interesting. I assume by God's wrath you mean the flood, yes? Even in Genesis 6 is states: 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those...
