    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    Yes. The sentence is easy to understand. It would violate English syntax rules to make it apply to anything other than "the cities that surrounded Sodom and Gomorrah. My guess is that you could look at a few commentaries and they would all agree. I don't really feel like checking because I...

    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    The same way satan and his hordes do it now. Through people. But he can't just kill everyone himself by doing something like supernaturally picking up a kitchen knife that goes floating through the air and slaughters families by cutting off their heads without using a person that he influences...

    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    It does not say that the angels that left their first estate went after strange flesh. It says that Sodom did that and the cities that surrounded them in the like manner that Sodom did that also did it and were judged along with Sodom. King James Bible Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the...

    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    Excellent insight. That is spot on. To follow the story of redemption is everything in understanding the scripture. Adam was the son of God because he was created and had no earthly father also. It seems that Adam walked with God in the cool of the day in the Garden before he fell and...

    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    One interpretation, and the one I think is the one that is most probable so far in my understanding of the text, is that this is a reference to the fact that they were judged and bound in chains of darkness as a realm of darkness of which satan is the ruler of, and of which is the same as the...

    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    We are probably miscommunicating about the term. I could have said, "those who are expert in the original languages and manuscripts in extant, and who are born again and believe that the bible is inspired, and who have spent a great deal of their lives studying and discussing all the details...

    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    I am not sure if you aware of this but the majority of biblical scholars do think that is exactly what it means. The angel theory is a minute fraction, minority interpretation. It is gaining popularity on the internet using sensational videos and entertaining sci fi stories. But the...

    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    Then men began to call themselves by the name of the Lord (KJV Scholar Marginal Notes) The Hebrew can be translated either "on the name of the Lord" or "by the name of the Lord") And this calling themselves "by the name of the Lord" would be the reference to why he says the "sons of God" in...

    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    Interpreting Scriptures requires that you ask what the author who wrote it intended. When you answer that question you also answer what did the Holy Spirit who inspired the author intend. It is the same thing but the Holy Spirit used men and their own individual style of writing and use of...

    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    Yes even children know to look to see if the sons of God and daughters of men were mentioned before this statement and they are in Chapter 4. :) Chapter 4 is not going to go away. I have made a better case using context with Chapter 4 than the Jewish/Greek Myth so I will let it go for now.

    Probably Not Going to Heaven

    You brought it up. It seemed like your reason for doubting your salvation.

    Probably Not Going to Heaven

    It is hard to offer advice because there are too many questions that need to be answered first. Have you ever known the joy of salvation? Are you living in sin. People who practice habitual sin are going to feel like they are in danger of waking up in hell with eternal regret no matter how...

    Probably Not Going to Heaven

    I don't know enough to judge. However generally speaking you might have had a misunderstanding about true salvation. Read Luke several times with the help of a couple of modern evangelical commentaries. Luke does a great job of showing how Jesus made a clear distinction between those who...

    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    I understand you to be saying that "son of God" in Job refers to angels. Or that is your understanding about Job. And you are probably saying that in the new testament in John 1:12 it says " But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe...

    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    You said..."Had GOD not preserved Noah and his wife, satan would of won right then." That is a "What if scenario" But it doesn't matter. Moving on... I think you are claiming theories as settled scriptural doctrine and I would never be comfortable doing that. I see that you are digging in...

    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    Those "What if" scenarios are no way to establish theology but if you want to go there, certainly you understand that Adam and Enoch and Abel to name a few are in the number of the righteous by faith. They will have had the blood of Christ applied by now. This genome idea is a fantasy. It...

    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    Is this about those fake stories on the internet about the Smithsonian hiding giant Nephilim bones? Actually the interpretation I have been presenting about Seth's' seed being the sons of God and marrying the daughters of men in Cain's camp and falling away to depravity is a theme that is...

    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    This is all a great example of eisegesis. Reading ones own ideas into the text. The text does not state these things. This need to Ponder/Dwell/Meditate sounds good but not when it becomes the reason to violate other rules of hermeneutics and implement riddles that the author never intended...

    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    I don't know what you think about the KJV but it reads as follows: Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. If the KJV is...

    Were Nephilim (Gen 6) judged differently by God?

    I don't agree with that interpretation but I understand where they get it from. Many who pass it on are thinking it is credible. They have read a brief article from the original authors who started it and they thought it was credible. I would not judge them as being hardened over that bad...
