I honestly don't think it's either. Maybe they're a different kind of being that no longer exists or were a spiritual force other than demonic? Who knows. But I highly doubt they were just giants, as some of the translations have said.
 
Dont know, people say lots of stuff, ive chosen to stick to the important. God will reveal the truth when He sees that am ready.
 
It doesn't matter who fell..... When our mind/heart/thoughts seek evil..... whether an angel or human we fall down......

Ezekiel 28 : 13-18
 
It does matter, and it is important, because its in the bible.

I think they were fallen angel/human hybrids - I think that's the most common opinion. The bad angels bred with human women. The hybrids were wiped out in the flood.
 
Alright. To have a healthy argument to improve my knowledge and understanding. How does it matter?
In my opinion, it doesn't matter who fell. All it matters is why did angel/human fall down?

thanks..... but, I'm sorry.... I didn't understand........what do you mean by this picture?
 
I agree with Sharp. It matters because its in the bible. However, the whole angel/human hybrid is a bit hard to fully grasp. Angels aren't human and im pretty sure it takes two humans to produce another with the exception of Jesus of course. So did these angels take on a human form not just in image but actually become human, as this is crucial for the whole reproductive process.
Not trying to get hung up on things but I think its good to be able to explain certain ideas that are presented in the bible.

I kinda want to know the same thing. Were the humans decieved by the angels or did the willingly mate with them.
 
Hi everyone,
The Nephillims which you all are referring to, was a hybrid being, If you can recall in Genesis 6 verse 1, the sons of God,(angels) saw that the Daughters of men were fair, and these angels(fallen) took wives on the Earth and bore children. So the product of the sons of man + the daughters of men resulted in Nephillims or Giants. This creation, was evil , and have taught evil to other men on the earth.This is why we read in Genesis 6 verse 5 , that the Lord saw the evil which was upon the earth.etc and decided to destroy the earth because of the wickedness of man, their thoughts etc, by the flood. However, Noah as we continue to read, was just and perfect in his generations, meaning that he was not evil or a hybrid being.So God , used Noah and others** to start over a "pure generation" or blood line of man.(I dont mean pure as in sinless for Noah, he still came from ADAM)
Questions: Do you wonder , why GOD made it rain for that lengthy period?, Why Noah's ark was that big ? How much water will it take to drown a GIANT as well? I guess it answers itself. What we call too ,Demons today or Unclean Spirits, are actually "old" Nephillim's Spirits.This why we don't actually "see" a demon actual form.After the flood, when they died, their spirits left their flesh bodies and continues to roam the Earth,seeking who it may dwell in!

As for the question about how these fallen angels could have taken on a human form, its quite simple.It is not strange that angels could change their forms, for example, the Bible says that SATAN can transform to an angel of Light (2 Corinthians 11:14),and its not hard to grasp if the bible warns us on entertaining strangers ( Hebrews 13:2 ).
Dont take my word for it! All
the answers to this question are given in the Holy Bible!

God Bless!
