You brought up some good points but on the above; how could that be when all land dwelling animal life was extinguised in the flood except for Noah, et al and the animals on the ark? Both halves would have perished. They were simply the product of a sick genetic experiment where the demons imitated Jehovah's miracle of DNA and mated with human females. Of course, there imitation DNA was amped to give their sons gigantism. You can bet your butt that those hybrids would have not lived long if it wasn't for the flood. Kind of like modern day really big people. Their hearts generally can't handle the strain. God has built in limitations to what DNA is capable of. Physics plays a part too, I'm sure.
really good point and I have no idea why they'd bother either. Party at Solomon's?
Another really good point and viable explanation to people's experiences regarding "living in another age" (reincarnation).
I am not providing these quotations as any kind of appeal to authority but to indicate many in the first century thought all or most of the hybrids physical sides died long before the flood.
1 Enoch 10:9. And to Gabriel said the Lord: 'Proceed against the bastards and the reprobates, and against the children of fornication: and destroy [the children of fornication and] the children of the Watchers from amongst men [and cause them to go forth]: send them one against the other that they may destroy each other in battle: for length of days shall they not have. 10. And no request that they (i.e. their fathers) make of thee shall be granted unto their fathers on their behalf; for they hope to live an eternal life, and that each one of them will live five hundred years.'
1 Enoch 14:4. I wrote out your petition, and in my vision it appeared thus, that your petition will not be granted unto you ⌈⌈throughout all the days of eternity, and that judgement has been finally passed upon you: yea (your petition) will not be granted unto you⌉⌉. 5. And from henceforth you shall not ascend into heaven unto all eternity, and ⌈in bonds⌉ of the earth the decree has gone forth to bind you for all the days of the world. 6. And (that) previously you shall have seen the destruction of your beloved sons and ye shall have no pleasure in them, but they shall fall before you by the sword. 7. And your petition on their behalf shall not be granted, nor yet on your own: even though you weep and pray and speak all the words contained in the writing which I have written.
1 Enoch 15:7. And therefore I have not appointed wives for you; for as for the spiritual ones of the heaven, in heaven is their dwelling. 8. And now, the giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh, shall be called evil spirits upon the earth, and on the earth shall be their dwelling. 9. Evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies; because they are born from men, and from the holy Watchers is their beginning and primal origin; they shall be evil spirits on earth, and evil spirits shall they be called. 10. As for the spirits of heaven, in heaven shall be their dwelling, but as for the spirits of the earth which were born upon the earth, on the earth shall be their dwelling. 11. And the spirits of the giants afflict, oppress, destroy, attack, do battle, and work destruction on the earth, and cause trouble: they take no food, but nevertheless hunger and thirst, and cause offences. And these spirits shall rise up against the children of men and against the women, because they have proceeded from them.
The 1913 translation of R.H. Charles of the Book of Jubilees 7:21-25[15] reads as follows (note that "Naphil" is an alternative transliteration form of "Nephilim"):
21 For owing to these three things came the flood upon the earth, namely, owing to the fornication wherein the Watchers against the law of their ordinances went a whoring after the daughters of men, and took themselves wives of all which they chose: and they made the beginning of uncleanness.
22 And they begat sons the Naphidim, and they were all unlike, and they devoured one another: and the Giants slew the Naphil, and the Naphil slew the Eljo, and the Eljo mankind, and one man another.
23 And every one sold himself to work iniquity and to shed much blood, and the earth was filled with iniquity.
24 And after this they sinned against the beasts and birds, and all that moves and walks on the earth: and much blood was shed on the earth, and every imagination and desire of men imagined vanity and evil continually.
25 And the Lord destroyed everything from off the face of the earth; because of the wickedness of their deeds, and because of the blood which they had shed in the midst of the earth He destroyed everything.
@MuleJule it's been my understanding since I was a teen that Adam passed on the life force he received from the breath of life on to his offspring it's received by people from the father by their conception like a torch that for the duration of the fire can light other torches I don't remember the details but a decade ago I remember writing something in support of the blood doctrine and some other of our beliefs partly based on that. The nephilim did not have the same line of spirit/life force as people with human fathers but whatever that of a watcher is. I haven't read Seola though I've heard about that publication the society once promoted it may warrant investigation someday though given it was dictated from a demon via automatic writing I'd trust it about as much as the Quran. You are more than welcome to share anything.
