The text does not say how they were formed.

Also 2 Samuel 21 talks of only one giant having 6 fingers and 6 toes. It does not say it was a characteristic of ALL giants. You cannot take a description of one and extrapolate to others.

The test in Gen 6 also says that God wanted all human beings dead except Noah. It does NOT say God wanted giants in particular to be dead. Let’s revisit the test

“5 The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. 6 The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.”

NOTE:god wants to wipe out the human race, not just giants and not giants in particular or even giants as a reason.

David killed many who were of the line of Seth in various battles in his life.

What was the last straw? The biblical text does not say what was the last straw, just that “”5 The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. 6 The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.”

Seth was the Son of man, Adam and of God.

The scripture in Genesis does not say the giants were collectively good or bad, it does not say they were the offspring of Angel’s and women, it does not say they were the reason for the flood.

Genesis says that
1. Giants were there at the same time sons of god were mating with women
2. Human beings became increasingly wicked
3. So God wanted to kill all human beings

Your statements are not supported by the text of Genesis

Angel’s are creatures of spirit. No material bodies.

So neither angels nor demons had intercourse with humans.

the “sons of God” were the offspring of Seth, the righteous son of Adam, whereas “daughters of men” are understood be the offspring of Cain, the immoral son of Adam. Thus, “fallen ones” could be understood as the fruit of succumbing to the corrupt Cainite culture.

Also the term Nephilum means great men. And they are not neccessarily the result from the union of sons of god and daughters of men

1 When human beings began to grow numerous on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God[b] saw how beautiful the daughters of human beings were, and so they took for their wives whomever they pleased. 3 Then the Lord said: My spirit shall not remain in human beings forever, because they are only flesh. Their days shall comprise one hundred and twenty years.

4 The Nephilim appeared on earth in those days, as well as later,[c] after the sons of God had intercourse with the daughters of human beings, who bore them sons. They were the heroes of old, the men of renown.

MAAG, that's a false statement by you that "giza is on the border of the two egypts"

Giza is clearly in Lower Egypt

Furthermore note:

  1. An altar to the Lord in the midst of the Land of Egypt


    AND

  2. A memorial stone to the Lord besides its (Egypt's) border

they are not in the same place

Furthermore So the Lord will make Himself known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know the Lord on that day. They will even worship with sacrifice and offering, and will make a vow to the Lord and perform it. -- this WAS FULFILLED by 200 AD -- Egypt was the CENTER of Christian belief and learning, along with Ctesiphon (now adjacent to Baghdad) from 200 AD to about 600 AD

The Egyptians were 100% Christian by the time of the Islamic invasions.

Egypt only became majority Muslim in the 13th century

Many have entertained angels, unaware. Yes they have bodies.

Angels are creatures of spirit - neither male nor female. We can't even call them hermaphrodite - it's just that the term male/female is like considering whether the breeze is male or female -- nonsensical.

The "sons of God" were the descendants of Seth and the "daughters of man" were the descendants of Cain

Ancient egyptian artists were not able to understand perspective. And their art doesn’t necessarily mean true to life - or you mean to say that there were really people with the heads of jackals?

Goliath’s stature is described in the Dead Sea Scrolls text of Samuel, the 1st-century historian Josephus and the 4th-century Septuagint manuscripts as “four cubits and a span” (6 feet 9 inches or 2.06 metres).

After Israel moved to the promised land anyone of giant stature was called a Nephilim

“ Genesis 6:1-7
6 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

————————————————————————————————

There is a theory or belief that God continued Creating Humans after Adam and Eve.

The sons of God are the Created humans, the daughters of Men are the offspring they had.

They took them as wives and they began to have offspring, “Men of old, men of renown.”
The genetic traits were passed down, the genes are the “Men of old”, the “men of renown” the DNA continued.

“There we’re giants in the earth in those days;……”

That is still unclear and debated often.
Some believe giant humans, some think giant beast, dinosaurs etc.

But this:
“…..and also after that, when the sons of God came unto the daughters of men,…..”

In addition to, “also”.

“……the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.”

Doesn’t say they were giants, but seems to indicate that along with giants “also after that” people began to reproduce with each other passing the genes and DNA on. “….men which were of old, men of renown.”

Old men, old people being born?
Or did God decide not to rush our knowledge and give us an explanation of DNA/Genes/Traits?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

“ And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.”
—————————————————————————————-

God was in the spirit and not flesh, how or why would fallen angles be in the flesh when they were spirit? Man was flesh, not spirit.

Jesus said, “What is of flesh is flesh, what is of spirit is spirit.”
Meaning it’s two different forms of being/life.
The two can’t mix, and definitely can’t reproduce.

When someone was possessed by demons, the spirits said they were many but Jesus casted them out into a herd of swine, they then went off a cliff……..even if the demons somehow convinced the swine to reproduce (if they didnt go off the cliff) the result would still have been swine, not a Demon-Swine hi-bred.
————————————————————————————

Just my thoughts.
Interesting read.
I have always thought the book of Genesis was/is not studied enough. So much fascinating information and facts.

Have a great day.

Depends on the context. Not Gabriel or Michael, who are not human.

Heb 1:7 AV: "And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire."

The "angels" who have bodies are living human messengers sent or appointed by God, as in Rev. 1,2,and 3.

More important they just found the oldest brewery in Egypt was rediscovered approximately 5000 years old.

Bushmills a couple of years ago bought the oldest distillery on the planet,(Ireland) and started making whiskey from the yeast in the still. TRUELY the oldest SCOTCH on the planet.
