    The Nephilim | Episode 3

    Hello and welcome to the third episode of is this biblical? Each week Matt and Gio will go through a topic and looking at it from a biblical perspective. In this third episode we look at the nephilim with our good friend Jacob! So let's see if the nephilim are just giants or something more and find out is this biblical?  Research: https://youtu.be/HQQfCZfNtZY?si=gEwL1zLHk_w0WlyJ Michael Heiser against Sethite view of Genesis 6:1-4 https://youtu.be/rjMrE5yhhQU?si=jFLeffm63lXTuNvv Michael Heiser on Etymology of Nephilim Jacob Bowling has shared a file with you https://acrobat.adobe.com/link/review?uri=urn:aaid:scds:US:19c21419-70c9-3c40-a545-189b3600d037 Amar Annus Apkallu = Sons of God Reversing Hermon: Enoch, the Watchers, and the Forgotten Mission of Jesus Christ https://a.co/d/27k88Fo Michael Heiser 'Reversing Hermon' “Sons of God as Godly Descendants of Seth In the fourth century AD, Augustine argued that the sons of God are the godly male descendants of Seth. Here, the "daughters of men" represent the ungodly females of Cain's line. The sin is the intermarriage of godly and ungodly humans, and the offspring are humans. There are several weaknesses to this view. First, nowhere in the Old Testament are Sethites identified as the sons of God. Second, this view forces two divergent meanings on the Hebrew word 'adam in Genesis 6:1-2: the term would have to mean "mankind" in Genesis 6:1, but a specific group of humans—the Cainites—in Genesis 6:2. Additionally, this view implies that all the women of Cain's line were ungodly, whereas all the men of Seth's line were godly. While this might be averted by noting that no law existed prohibiting intermarriage of any kind prior to the great flood, this would in turn undermine the entire premise of the view. Also, since only Noah and his family were considered godly in the days of the flood, we can presume that the vast majority of Seth's descendants were far from godly; Seth had more than one descendant (Gen 5:7). Lastly, the daughters born in the previous chapter of Genesis were born to Seth's line, not Cain's-the precise opposite of what this explanation requires.” - Faithlife Study Bible Contact: Matt: matt@isthisbiblical.com Gio: gio@isthisbiblical.com Image by Freepik edited by Matt
