The following discussion took place when someone posted the question Could Noah’s daughters-in-law have carried Nephilim DNA? on the Quora site and a certain L. Budow replied—the self-description is, “Scripture Research & Answers The Oldest Known Scriptures”
If they were pregnant by an angel of GOD and not the sons of Noah, maybe.
Nephilim = female human and male angel DNA together
There were no female Nephilim and no female angels.
At the end of the day it would not change anything either way.
I, Ken Ammi, replied
Well, a Nephil on the ark changes plenty since it implies that God missed that loophole so the flood was much of a waste so He failed: fallacious Nephilology damages theology proper.
L. Budow
The word Nephil is not written in Torah
The word “Nephil” (נְּפִיל) never appears anywhere in Scripture in connection with the Ark of the Covenant (Ark of the Pact/Ark of the Testimony).
GOD misses nothing
GOD fails no one.
Theology is a made up concept of man.
Ken Ammi
The word Nephil is proper grammar in my sentence since I referred to a singular, “a.”
Friend, contextually, I wasn’t referring to the Ark of the Covenant but Noah’s ark.
Indeed:
“GOD misses nothing
GOD fails no one”
Yet, post-flood Nephilology implies that God missed that loophole so the flood was much of a waste so He failed.
As for, “Theology is a made up concept of man” what of it? You were theologizing.
L. Budow
Since we know GOD misses nothing,
then GOD missed nothing and has no loopholes He failed at.
GOD does not fail as He is perfect without fail.
GOD cares nothing for man’s theology which he makes up.
It is, what it is.
The half angel half human, Nephilim, remained after the flood as they are able to regenerate unless their head is separated from their body.
This is why King David ran up upon Goliath and removed his head as he was described as a Nephilim.
Some Nephilim may have suffered this fate during the flood,
but no one has documented this.
Anything else is speculation and questioning GOD.
This has never worked out well for anyone.
Ken Ammi
It’s odd, I’d think that your reply would have been, “Since we know GOD misses nothing” then of course any and all post-flood Nephilology is false and people who teach it should be rebuked.
Rather, you’re making excuses for them, you’re inventing tall-tales just to keep that un-biblical, theology proper, fantasy story going.
You merely asserted, “The half angel half human, Nephilim, remained after the flood” so the rest of what you say is a non-issue since your premise is faulty and there’s literally zero reliable indication in favor of it.
As for, “they are able to regenerate unless their head is separated from their body” that’s a pure fantasy for which there’s literally zero indication.
You asserted, “Goliath…was described as a Nephilim” but there’s literally zero indication of that. In fact, he’s referred to as a Repha, not a Nephil, every single time he’s mentioned: how did you miss that?
Why are you trying to support the view that God failed, missed a loophole, and the flood was much of a waste—especially based on made up stories?
Just how did you get Nephilim past the flood, past God?
L. Budow
When you know more than GOD,
please inform Him.
Hope that works out for you.
Ken Ammi
Sadly, you refused correction and when you found yourself literally incapable of defending your views by doing anything besides merely asserting you tapped out.
That’s no way to sharpen iron with iron.
Well, that was the end of that but I posted my own reply to the question itself which read
Please note that post-flood-Nephilologists always begin by throwing God and His Word under the bus.
If she carried Nephilim blood then she was a Nephilim by definition.
A survival of Nephilim past the flood, in any way, shape or form, contradicts the Bible five times (Genesis 7:7, 23; Hebrews 11:7; 1 Peter 3:20; and 2 Peter 2:5).
It implies that God failed, missed a loophole, the flood was much of a waste, etc., etc., etc.
Yet, literally all pop-Nephilology is premised on that: it’s un-biblical tall-tales sold to Christians.
Besides, there’s literally below zero reliable indication as to why any such fantasy story needs to be invented in the first place.
L. Budow replied
When one questions GOD’s integrity, they question everything about GOD.
This has never worked out well for anyone.
Ken Ammi
GREAT POINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Such is why, as I’ve noted MANY times: fallacious Nephilology damages theology proper such as post-flood Nephilology implying that God failed, missed a loophole, the flood was much of a waste, etc.
L. Budow
Theology is a manmade concept, not of GOD.
GOD has failed no one, only man has failed GOD.
Any other points are ego and the absence of GOD.
Ken Ammi
The moment that God started telling us about Himself, He was doing theology by definition.
Indeed, “GOD has failed no one, only man has failed GOD” but, again, fallacious Nephilology damages theology proper so everyone should reject it.
L. Budow
Only GOD corrects me with His Torah, not you or any man.
Ken Ammi – Budow set the discussion to, “Adding comments disabled” so Budow took a hit-and-run parting shot and relied on censorship: I didn’t know that’s how sharpening iron with iron works but then again, when we sharpen iron with iron, someone tends to get cut.
What I do in such instances (and a lot of people on the Quora site use that tactic) is to go to the original question, type @, type the person’s user name, and type a reply—they tend to ignore it but at least it’s on record.
My reply was
Sadly, you went full-blown worldly by taking a hit-and-run parting shot and relying on censorship: your reply was literally incoherent since the Torah is literally saturated of examples of man being corrected with His Torah by man.
If that’s your excuse to run away from your false teaching then please repent.
And that was the end of that.
