I am curious to know your background.

Your intelligence and presentation of facts are quite amazing.

While I do not agree with you the Nephilim theory that they are offspring of Angels having sex with humans, I find your apologetic arguments to be quite lucid.

Thank you, I try to present a logical and reasonable argument, using scripture as a foundation. I have always enjoyed the art of debate. Unfortunately social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook would rather shut down an open public debate than to allow the audience to decide.

The origin of the Nephilim is open to interpretation. I was wondering what your thoughts were regarding this topic. These Niphilim were giants (earth-born), mighty warriors, heroes, men of renown, Odysseus? Achilles? Perseus? Hercules? My idea is that many of them were good but some were very bad. So bad that they led humans to think evil continually and threatened the bloodline of Christ. God had to bring the flood to restore the order of things.

The angels who “kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day” (Jude 1:6), and “For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment” (II Peter 2:4), that these angels were responsible for the Niphilim and for the flood, seems the best fit to me.

I have a BS in meteorology and an MS in physics with 30+ years of experience in research and data analysis. I enjoy studying the history of science, the Bible, Western Civilization and eschatology. Apparently my background allows me to learn about many topics of interest, most recently, epidemiology, immunology and virology.

I’ve spent my entire life filling my head with knowledge and hopefully a little wisdom along the way. I was never concerned with titles in this world, holding onto the promise of that which is to come. I am just another Christian waiting to go home. God has great things in store for us, of this I have no doubt.
