Bible Discussion Thread

Concerning your question of the Nephilim, I think I should expand. Read Genesis carefully. The Nephilim are not the ones who had children with the women, it was the Sons of God, and the Sons of God are not the Nephilim. God calls the "Sons of God" men in the very next verse saying they are but flesh. By Sons of God, the Bible is referring to the "long lived" direct ancestors of Adam, which God alters to reduce their age to 120 years. The Word Nephilim is mistranslated, and should be read as "Something that makes men to fall down". I am not totally sure on this, it could be giants as is usually translated but I think it is the context we must look at. The verses talk about the fact that the men of those days are men of valor, this is because they are living in the days when the "Giants" were still around. I believe it is talking about huge animals we now call dinosaurs. Go back and read it again. It will make more sense to you now.
