Originally posted by checkbaiterAccording to the bible, Noah was in danger of being killed as well. That shows that God intended to wipe out every living thing, Noah's family. This means that God wasn't only going to destroy the Nephelim, but all mankind as well.
Huh? Am I missing something here? These eight humans were the only ones saved from destruction. They were the only somewhat God fearing people left. The bloodline to Christ went through Noah.
Thus, claiming that God sent a flood because it was full of almost nothing but Nephelim is an invalid argument (as well as completely unsupported by the bible).
Originally posted by checkbaiterDid your God figure also wipe out people to whom he had not revealed Himself or his 'rules' or His reasons to be "fearing" Him ~ in parts of the world far away from where the writers of Exodus just so happened to live?

Originally posted by FMFCheckbaiter believes that there were no other humans on earth at the time besides Noah and his family. He believes all the others were half-demons. No, I'm not kidding.

Originally posted by vivifyWhich women did Noah's four sons procreate with and how did it result in the ethnic/racial diversity we see in the world today?

Gen 8:18-19
So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him. 19 Every animal, every creeping thing, every bird, and whatever creeps on the earth, according to their families, went out of the ark.
NKJV

Originally posted by checkbaiterBut you said "These eight humans were the only ones saved from destruction." Noah (one), his wife (two), four sons (that makes six). Did all the four sons sleep with the same two women? And Did Noah's grandchildren then later procreate with each other?
Their wives.
Originally posted by FMFNoah had 3 sons. Did Checkbaiter say 4 ?

How did the procreation of Noah's three sons result in the ethnic/racial diversity we see currently in the world?
Did Noah's grandchildren then later procreate with each other ~ 1st cousin with 1st cousin?

I have resources that go into much detail, but it would be hours of typing here or copy and paste and I know how displeasing this would be to many here. There are many video's and audio teachings I would have listen to again, and video's aren't appreciated by many of you either.
"Journey through the Old Testament" is my favorite, it is 24 hours. Would you like the link to listen to it?
Originally posted by checkbaiterWhy would you have confidence in a narrative that is so patently preposterous and whose explanation stumbles at the first obvious and common-sensical scrutiny? In the act of subscribing to ancient Hebrew mythology - or to folklore that appealed to the ancient Hebrew mind, like the Noah/flood story - do you perceive yourself as having to actively render yourself credulous in order to have "confidence" in it?

I do not see the bible as Hebrew folklore or any other mythology. I see it as truth.
Every day new discovery is found that corroborates the truths in the bible.
These discoveries do not surprise me, because I already knew they were true.
