1 | The Sons of God in Genesis 6:1-4 | Genesis | Jesusman | 32214 | ||
Hello, Again, after several times of saying this, I have already explained this. However, I shall do so again. The Niphillim of Genesis 6:1-4 and the Niphillim of Numbers 13:33 cannot be related to one another. WHY? The Great Flood separates them. The Bible clearly says that all life on the earth, save those on the ark, was destroyed. So, the only way for the Niphillim to have survived the flood is that they were on the Ark. Therefore, either Noah and/or members of his family were niphillim, which is not supported in the Bible, or that the Niphillim were animals, which would mean again that the Niphillim of Numbers 13 are not related to the Niphillim of Genesis because Numbers is describing humans. Therefore, the term "niphillim" must be a term of description. Thus describing someone or something that is Giant in stature, fierce in actions, and has a possible tendancy to stomp on their prey or enemies. The only group I know of that would fit that description that also would've existed during the early chapters of Genesis are the Dinosaurs. Place that meaning in the passage in Genesis, along with the meaning that the mentioning of Niphillim in Genesis is to provide a time reference, you then have the author saying the the time when the "Sons of God" married the "Daughters of Men" happened when Dinosaurs where on the earth. Now, am I saying that the Niphillim of Numbers 13 are Dinosaurs also? No, the Bible clearly says that they are men. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |

Hello, To place the context as the Bible was not what I was asking. That's like asking, "Out of all the foods across the Globe, which tastes the best?" While we may have a favorite food, we cannot objectively say that this particular food tastes the best until we have sampled every single dish from across the Globe. As for the context, I was asking for a particular passage in the Bible to examine. As I said before, the meaning of a phrase is directly dependant upon it's usage and context. Let me clarify with an example from the english language. Let's take the phrase, "I love you!" Now, if I were speaking to my girlfriend, that phrase would have a different meaning than if I were to say it to my dog, parent, or whoever. Do you see my point? From one perspective, Yes, Jesus is the Creator of all things. From the perspective that Jesus is also God in human form. However, we must also remember that the God-head consists of more than Jesus alone. There is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Now, when examining the areas in which creation is being discussed, it is God the Father that is being focused upon, not Jesus Christ. So, from that Perspective, No, Jesus is not the creator of all things. So, the answer to your question, until you narrow it down, is "Yes and No". Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |
