AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 6:4 There were Nephilim (men of stature, notorious men) on the earth in those days--and also afterward--when the sons of God lived with the daughters of men, and they gave birth to their children. These were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown (great reputation, fame). [Num 13:33] |
Subject: Are the Nephilim descendants of Adam? |
Bible Note: Hi Tim I think you misunderstand what i’m saying. There is a natural account and a spiritual (prophetical) account of the creation of man. The natural man was created in Gen.1:24 he is the living creature. Then in verse 26-27 God says lets make man into our image , these two verses are a prophesy of Christ and us in Christ. Then God shows us how the natural man is to be made into His image , by making a garden and putting man into the garden to be trained up in obedience to Him. As I am always finding that I have to defend my views I would like to ask A couple of questions to those who hold to the traditional view of the creation account 1) If the traditional view is right and Adam was created in innocents how is this in Gods image? 2) if you say he was perfect how then did he sin. 3) 1Co.15:45 says Adam was made a living soul (creature) Does this sound like he was made in the image of god? 4) 1 Co.15:47 says the first man is of the earth earthy is this the image of God? is God earthy? 5)1Co.15:48 as is thr earthy, such are they also that are earthy. If you make the first man Adam into God image are you not then saying Gods image is earthy as we can see clearly here that the first Adam was of the earth? The Adam and Eve in v26-27 is a prophesy of Christ and us in Christ. Look in the same scriptures 1Co.15:45-48 and see that Christ is the only one who was made into the image of God and now because of His death and resurrection we to can be made into the image of God. In answer to your question did you hear this interpretation someplace else first or is it your own? It is what God has shown me. The traditional view held to many unanswered questions or questions that could not be answered except by conjecture ,so I took it before the Lord and this is what He has shown me. I to used to believe much the same way as what was traditionally tought but because of the questions some of which I have asked those who would defend the traditional view to answer I had to go back to the bible. May God give us all a seeing eye and a hearing ear.Amen |
