If you keep mocking, don't expect our Heavenly Father to show you anything in His Word, for you are not mocking me, but His Word. His Word is absolute Truth, not me. All you need do is follow His Word. And that's all I am doing.

You don't really 'believe' The Bible as written, do you? You're more interested in following the modern textual critics who want to 'change' what God's Word says, aren't you? If not, then why would you NOT be able to understand the simplicity of the below Scripture you quote, because it is obvious that you have read some baloney from a Leftist liberal textual critic, because they are the ones pushing the idea you mention...

Jer 7:21-26
21 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh.

22 For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:


The Time when God is speaking of?: when God first led the children of Israel out of Egypt. At that time, God had not given the law and sacrifices yet. How could you MISS that point in that very Scripture?


23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, 'Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be My people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.

24 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.

25 Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all My servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them:

26 Yet they hearkened not unto Me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.

I have to think those who claim those Nephilim were simply bulies or tyrants failed basic English reading comprehension.

Gen 6:1-4
6 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

4 There were giants (Nephilim) in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

KJV


That event is also recorded in the Book of Jude, and by Apostle Peter...

Jude 6-7
6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, He hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
7 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.
KJV


2 Peter 2:4-5
4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
KJV


(It's sad that I am forced to directly show the KJV Scripture on that event of those fallen angels mating with the flesh daughters of men to produce a hybrid giant race, because of those who want to try and change... what that Scripture says in the manuscripts.)

Even in the Genesis 6:9 verse about Noah, it shows that Noah was "perfect in his generations", which that word 'perfect' in the Hebrew means 'without blemish' physically of the flesh, the same word used for the required sacrificial flesh purity of animals sacrificed per the old covenant. That reveals that Noah had not MIXED with those Nephilim. So it's IMPOSSIBLE the matter was simply about a bully or tyrant.
Noah was a sinner in Adamic dead sinful flesh. If Noah was perfect, it was because he was born from one of these sons of God, and not a direct descendant of Adam. Adam was a son of God, and then he disobeyed and was condemned into a state of death. No angels came to earth and peocreated with the sons of God. Giants are just perfect sons of God, compared to Adam's dead corruptible flesh. Nephilim was not a race of beings, just giants.

There you go with your WILD and CRAZY thinking!

The idea of Noah being 'perfect in his generations' per Genesis 6:9 is about his flesh purity all the way from the man Adam.

Why don't you actually READ... your Bible instead of just playing around? Noah IS... in the genealogy all the way back to the man Adam!

Luke 3:36-38
36 Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, which was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was the son of Lamech,


37 Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan,

38 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.
KJV

KJV
They all were sinners in Adam's flesh, no?

What set them apart? Surely not their genetic inheritance of Adam's dead corruptible flesh.

You should have went with faith instead of genetics.

IMO, IMU, and out & out-right what I think is this, first & fore-most find the origin of your thinking!

All scripture stacks up like this:
1. The Word TRUTH
Man. LIAR
2. Doctrine the WORD
Man. PRIVATE INTERPERTATION.
3. Flesh ENMITY
Spirit. LIFE


Anything else outside of thus saith the Word is man's and full of holes.
The Word of God is pure, holy, inspired, anointed, doesn't return void, cannot be false, sets those in bondage free, feeds the soul, transforms the believer and keeps followers on the right path.

YOu could believe that but the Scriptures say you are wrong.

Sons of God (bene Elohim) only appears three times in teh OT&- teh other two times (in JOb) are definitely angels, there is no warrant for this being the line of Seth.

1. Can't be very righteous if they are willing to be unequally yoked.
2. Were there no pretty daughters of Seth?
3. why would babies from humans be men of renown, the nephihlim and powerful?
4. I tis implied Seths line were all faithful- Scripture says nothing about that.

If we are to use words consistently the bene elohim would have to be angles.

Genesis 6
King James Version


6 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.


Seth and Cain were human and they both multiplied. Are you suggbesting teh word men here are only cains line?

Once again why would a normal union of tweo humans produice verse 4?
The sons of God were humans who still trusted and obeyed God. The daughters of men were daughters of unbelievers. Such as today. Paul said be not equally yoke with unbelievers. Thats all Genesis isaying.

No, the Sons of God were angels, and the daughters of men were human females. Their children were literal giants, seen by many including Israel.

Wow, the ignorance displayed in this thread is astonishing.

Christians have no problem in the world believing that Jesus, the SON OF GOD, entered the womb of Mary to incarnate.

And yet...

They refuse to believe that the Sons of God in Genesis were capable of doing the same.

Unreal.

Angels and Fallen Angels are two different things.

Those that conflate the two are not even worth responding to.

If the sons of God were angels, then Paul's argument in Hebrews is defeated.

No, there were actual giants and their origin is Gen 6.
David fought "Goliath the Giant", and his origin was in the lineage of Noah, where all human beings come from, Bible 101

Angels don't maintain human sperm, nor do they marry taking wives upon earth as the Sons of God did below

ewq1938 wake up, you have been having a bad dream again, must have been the Sci-Fi movies you been watching

Genesis 6:2KJV
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

Matthew 22:30KJV
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

It's sad to see you would promote a false teaching that angels maintain human sperm and procreate, add to that the morbid false claim that fallen angels are "The Sons Of God", way out in left field, earth to Davy!

The fallen angels aren't shown any place in scripture to be having sex with humans as you falsely claim

Angels don't maintain human sperm, nor do they marry taking wives upon earth as the Sons of God did below

Genesis 6:2KJV
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

Exactly.

The sons of God fell into immorality and it ended up like our world today.

There were no angel/babies born.

Everyone and everything was giant in those days.
