Evidence for God from Science

The other interesting thing for me is how those who hold to the angel-hybrid theory ignore the idea of angel hybrids in their eschatology as it relates to "the days of Noah". All of a sudden the warning relates to DNA manipulation via science and not horny angels. It's one more mark agains...

An example of how translations can vary: https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Numbers%2013%3A33 KJ21 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, who come of the giants. And we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.” ASV And there we saw the Nephilim, the sons of A...

it was consistent with other statements about "giants" ( like Goliath and Og). Ironically neither are referred to as "nephilim"; that's actually a mark against your view. In fact, Og in Deu 3:11 is called a "giant" using the word rapha' : https://www.blueletterbible.or...

Anyways, it's my bedtime. We can agree to disagree or we can continue this later.

It's ONE possible interpretation Stu. That is the point. All of the neighbouring civilizations had stories of "giants" and so forth, of them being "quasi-divine". Ironically, there are several flood stories throughout the ancient world, but you don't believe it was global, which...

Also you never answered my question - how did giants come to be on the earth if not through the mating of woman and fallen angels? It's not necessarily referring to physical stature as the word "giants" in English does: https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H530...

So much for it being the traditional view.

Orthodox Judaism is from Rabbinic Judaism which is AFTER the second temple Judaism we are talking about and the 1st centuries of the NT.

Oivay ! *facepalm*

Now read the rest of it instead of cherry-picking MY quotes.

The article just stated that it IS translated to giants in these tranlations: The majority of ancient biblical versions—including the Septuagint, Theodotion, Latin Vulgate, Samaritan Targum, Targum Onkelos, and Targum Neofiti—interpret the word to mean "giants". WTF dude?? Read the rest o...

I am not going to debate this with you since you have made up your mind. I will say this: It is unacceptable to insult and slander anyone, even more so a respected scholar. I suggest you stop it before we have to take action, understood? Disagree all you want with any scholar you want, BUT you don'...

Kooks :lol: You making a lot of friends on these boards hey. How about you tone down the holier than thou, know it all attitude, relax and just debate. Your opinion is one of many here.
