I’m unsure why the Grace Digital Network is advertising for Google but the title of a vid that was posted on their YouTube channel is This Is Why Everyone Is Googling “The Nephilim And Giants” which led to the following discussion when a certain @TodaysDante commented
Rob Skiba did fascinating talks on this. You can still find them on youtube.
I, @kenammi355, replied
Rob taught un-biblical Nephilology.
@TodaysDante
Technically, ALL of Enoch is “unbiblical,” since it was generally rejected to be part of the Bible. But his interpretations are interesting. Just don’t get hung up on calling them “Aliens” as opposed to “Angels.” It’s another word to describe the same beings.
@kenammi355
It’s no only unbiblical, it’s anti-biblical since it contradicts the Bible, at lot.
@TodaysDante
Hey don’t get me wrong, I’m not in the church of skiba or anything. Before he passed away, he became a flat-earther. But, out of curiously, what specifically did he claim that was anti-biblical? Admittedly, I don’t know everything the guy said.
@kenammi355
Gotcha. Well, he made a name for himself due to Nephilology but most of his Nephilology was just that, his, not the Bible’s. He really taught what’s typical modem Nephilology which is un-biblical neo-theo sci-fi tall-tales. For example, he taught post-flood Nephilim and that they were very, very tall but those aren’t biblical doctrines.
@TodaysDante
Doesn’t the Bible say that there were giants in the earth in those days, “and after that?” As for Skiba, yeah, he admitted he was a writer, so I imagine he liked to fictionalize things. Like I said, maybe not everything is Biblical, but it’s possible to extrapolate without being anti-Biblical.
@kenammi355
But, “in those days, ‘and after…’” when?
Before replying, please re-read the verse and note that it tells you exactly to what days it’s referring.
As for, “being anti-Biblical”: Rob implied that God failed by not being able to figure out a loophole that Rob figured out (or, that Rob parroted).
@TodaysDante
LOL – I didn’t know that about Rob (saying he knew something God didn’t). I’m not sure what you’re looking for here. I already said I didn’t know everything he said, and I don’t agree with everything he said. He was a flat-earther. I will say that, and this might just be the way it was translated from the original text, I always found it odd that the Bible said that the Nephilim was IN the earth in those days. So, maybe they still are IN the earth somewhere.
@kenammi355
Well, Rob certainly would not have put it as that “he knew something God didn’t” but such is the implication.
As for, “Nephilim was IN the earth in those days. So, maybe they still are IN the earth somewhere” well, all post-flood Nephilology implies that God failed, he missed a loophole, the flood was much of a waste, etc.
Also, Gen 6:17 states, “everything that is IN the Earth shall die.”
@TodaysDante
I’m not implying that at all. Nephilim may have survived the flood, if you accept the interpretation that the flood wasn’t to kill all Nephilim, but rather to keep the blood line of Christ pure and free from hybrid pollution. The flood succeeded in what it was supposed to do, keep the bloodline of Jesus purely within mankind (through Noah). No one is implying God “failed.” There are many interpretations of these texts. Just because you don’t agree with them doesn’t mean they disagree with God.
@kenammi355
You and Rob implied just that: a God that wasn’t as smart as you two since He missed the loophole you assert when He meant to be rid of them and you also imply the flood was much of a waste.
As for, “Nephilim may have survived the flood”: that contradicts the Bible five times, does that matter to you? Genesis 7:7, 23; Hebrews 11:7; 1 Peter 3:20; and 2 Peter 2:5.
Why would anyone “accept the [mis]interpretation that the flood wasn’t to kill all Nephilim” when only eight people and some animals survived by definition? Why MUST you have post-flood Nephilim—besides that the un-biblical neo-theo sci-fi tall-tales are just too juicy?
If God could keep the blood line of Christ pure with Nephilim being around then the flood was an unnecessary waste of time. See, you assert, “The flood…keep the bloodline of Jesus purely within mankind (through Noah)” even thought post-flood the very same problems were afoot in terms of Nephilim genetic pollution.
Thus, your and Rob’s misinterpretations are illogical, ill-biological, and ill-theological.
That brought the discussion to an end as no more replies were forthcoming.
