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

Your tone is disrespectful, period. It's not about thin skin, its about common courtesy. I addressed your points, I disagreed with them and stated why. Did you address mine? Here : Deuteronomy 29:26 Here: A Psalm of Asaph. 82 God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods h...

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

Yes, knock off the appeals to authority, and listen to PaulSacramento, because he's taken theology classes. Not sure if you are being fictitious or not Rick but I do NOT profess to be an authority simply because of I have my Masters. I haven't even quote any scholar or linked any article. I have si...

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

No heavenly or divine council? Well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_Council In the Hebrew Bible, there are multiple descriptions of Yahweh presiding over a great assembly of Heavenly Hosts. Some interpret these assemblies as examples of Divine Council: "The Old Testament description of t...

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

Dude, you post an opinion for a website, that is appealing to authority ! I simply gave you tit for tat. I suggest you watch the attitude though, I am not liking your tone. We are trying to have a civil discussion here and your tone is far from that. For every scholar that you can quote, I can quot...

Re: Church for introverts

Hana, I see no danger in it because the website is satire. :lol: Ridicule is not satire. Au contraire mon frère sat·ire ˈsaˌtī(ə)r/ noun the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and o...

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

You are not understanding that you must read the OT with OT eyes. We interpret the bible with the bible, yes, not with anything else. So much for book of not-Enoch then. Soooo ironic that Paul is doing the exact thing with Jude that he says not to do with what in the NT doesn't support his argument...

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

No sure what your issues are since you seem to be making this a clear and cut opinion that you are right and all those scholars are wrong. Not very conducive to a discussion. While not all scholars agree, of course, they do acknowledge the issues. Regardless of your view on 1Enoch, it was quote by ...

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

Lol there is no "heavenly council", that's a teaching of a modern kook with a degree looking to sell books on the sensational to gullible Christians. As for sons BY faith (get it right) it is not unique to me; it's a standard objection to the presupposition that it only refers to angels. A...

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

Btw Jude and Enoch both quote Deuteronomy. Regardless, Paul quotes a pagan work in Acts when evangelizing on Mars Hill, that doesnt mean the pagan work is where we build our doctrine. I think you're coming around.Don't resist because this explains so much from a biblical perspective that I touched ...

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

You guys are making arguments for the angel-hybrid theory that have already been addressed in my first post. Jude isn't equating fallen angels to the nephilim, and "sons of God" is a term used for all those of faith, angelic and human. Jude is not saying that the Nephilim are fallen angle...
