A couple months ago my PEERANORMAL Podcast focused on this modern myth. Here’s a pretty thorough-but-readable essay on the RH nephilim silliness. It’s very informative.
I guess at a time when people are willing to believe the earth is actually flat and all ISS / NASA photographs of the earth are fakes it shouldn’t surprise me that science ignorance would lead to this absurdity. But maybe it’s that I just don’t want to believe people can be this gullible. I can’t laugh at something so troubling.
I guess I am Nephilim … I have red hair, green eyes, and am O-
I am AB+ but one of my brothers is AB- … does that mean that my mum had an affair with a fallen angel? 😉
Actually, could well be, since my brother is 6ft 2in, so he’s practically a giant. 😀 But my other brother, who is 6ft 3.5in is actually AB+ like me, so that kills that theory. 😀
It doesn’t help that “respected” fringe writers such as Nick Redfern put out uncritical books about this goofiness.
Good stuff. I’m RH Neg, had to have shots during pregnancy, and we all turned out fine. No nephalim babies. : )
What a shame. My husband is rh negative and he and his brothers are about the most indestructible guys you’ll ever meet. My hopes are dashed. ????
If any scholars in the audience would take an hour of their time to look up the Hebrew word nephal and notice the word actually means to bow down and prostrate oneself and thus become dead (separated from Yah). Next one might reason if adding ym to the end of a Hebrew word makes that word plural. One might just make a connection: The verse was translated incorrectly in the Septuagint and this same mistranslation has been handed down until today we have the verse about giants walking the earth. Correcting this long standing mistake would have Yahowah disposing of a violent people who bowed in worship and these folks were a serious threat to Noah and his family. Now if we go were the words lead us; Who do we know that are again threatening the descendants of Noah who are violent and bow in worship? History repeats itself, only this time Yahowah is not going to use water to protect His children.
Or one could just keep repeating the same mistake and believe angels procreated with humans and bore giants.
naphal does not (inherently) *mean* to “bow down”; I’m a Hebrew scholar. The PhD in Hebrew Bible is a giveaway.
You are committing the fallacy of assuming the way a word might be used in one context = its meaning in other contexts. Hebrew naphal can be used of prostration, but the lemma does NOT have that inherent meaning. As always CONTEXT determines meaning. Context is king.
