Could you provide the scripture for us, please?
Originally posted by FreakyKBHThe great UT-D Bible scholar Darfius had a very complicated theory about the Nephilim. It's around here somewhere . . .
Genesis speaks of the fallen angels co-habitating with the women of the pre-Flood era. Any chance this may be the origins for our Greek/Roman/etc., mythologies?
Originally posted by FreakyKBHNo, but the Hebrews had neighbors. And those neighbors perhaps were around when the Greeks were spreading their "truth" all over. And if not them, perhaps their neighbors were, etc.
There were no Hebrews at the time in question.
Wait a sec. The Hebrews predicted the fall of Tyre, and Tyre was demolished by Alexander the Great, who claimed soverienity over the Greeks. Once again, when you consider that the Greeks had power right up to the time of the Romans, and the Romans ran things in the New Testament. Forget my first statement, please; It seems that the two cultures overlapped.
Originally posted by thesonofsaulOkay, I just thought that perhaps you were speaking about the time of Nephilim. In that case, you are operating under the assumption that there was such a time, and therefore you argument is biased and flawed. You can't use your conclusion as a premise--see Decartes' proof of God.

If not, what version are you reading, Halitose? Very worrying...
