So... you're an offspring of a Nephilim.
Nice...
Read that again:
"I think my mother in law might be Nephillim. She's 6 feet tall and really mean..."
:)
Let's do some math. I'm aboutr 182 centimeters, there are 2.54 centimeters in an inch and 12 inch in a feet. So 182/2.54/12= 5.97 feet. Well, I do some work outs so I might just be a giant! Fear me for I eat little guys who climb giant bean stalks!
On a side note:
65.6% of the Dutch men and 7.9% of all women are taller than 5.8 feet (1.5% of the men are taller than 6.4 feet). So we might just have a "giant" population here!
In the Buybull, the Nephilim were all men . Unless, of course, Candi is willing to admit that some of the "heavenly beings" who saw that "these young women were beautiful" (Gen 6:2) were Nephilim lesbians. Hmm?
Dante's V... Sorry to quibble hon, but the 'Sons of God' that came down and slept with all the hot chicks were the Elohim, their offspring was the Nephilim.
(Not sure how Candi's in laws survived the flood...)
Genesis 6:4.
(oh and today's transliteral comes from Genesis 6:2)

My stepdad is 6 foot one and really mean, but he's corn-fed, bible bred Norsky.
Too bad Some Chick couldn't inject some humour of her own. I happen to think the idea of a retard parade is amusing so I thank you.
Julian,
Elohim is one of the Hebrew names for God. The Hebrew phrase for "Sons of God" is Bene Elohim, which is used in that passage. I did a paper on that passage. Its posted on one of those "Nephilim" threads somewhere. Or I can email it to anyone who would like to read it.
OK, cushioned side of the paddle it is DV...
roadrunner. Interesting. The original Hebrew (Levantine) pantheon had El (God) married to Asherah and the Elohim as the sons of God.
Nice to see that with the gradual shift to monotheism (to gain power), and the holy wars and internal purges obliterating rival beliefs, that when it came to analyse the text written over the course of centuries, Gods was interpreted as another name for God.
(some of the Elohim - Elyon, Hadad, Adon, Anat, Arsu, Astarte, Atargatis, Azizos, The Ba'als, Baalat Gebal, Berith, Dagon, Eshmun, Kubaba, Liluri, Manuzi, Mot, Salem, Shaddai, Yarikh, Yam)
Julian,
In the OT, I know the different names for God included Yahweh, Elohim, El-Shaddai, Ummm...theres a couple others that elude me at the moment. Jehovah is not a hebrew name for God. Jehovah is just Yahweh translated into German, and then into English, so its like a translation of a translation.
roadrunner - you're the first person in this entire thread to mention 'Jehovah'. God has a lot of names, 'Jealous' was one of them you failed to mention too.
Exodus 34:14 - For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
And as I say - I listed the Elohim. They are the root of your monotheistic myth!
I was just mentioning Jehovah as a reference, I wasn't saying anyone said it.
I'm not sure where you get the Elohim = Nephilim thing, or why you feel the need to declare my God a "monotheistic myth". I mean, I don't know that I have insulted anyone elses beliefs here. Just trying to clarify a bit on where some of this stuff comes from in Christian teachings.
Duuuuude!
I never said the Elohim = the Nephilim, I said the Nephilim were the sons of the Elohim (NOTE THE PLURAL), just as the bible verse did!
The Abrahamic religions have become monotheistic and they are myths. Do you need to look up the meaning of the word myth before we go any further?
Monotheistic myth is not an insult. 'Stupid, irrational, monotheistic, myth' might be.
The only thing around here insulting your beliefs is the reality you're trying so desperately hard to ignore!
:-)
I know what myth means:
myth Pronunciation (mth)
n.
1.
a. A traditional, typically ancient story dealing with supernatural beings, ancestors, or heroes that serves as a fundamental type in the worldview of a people, as by explaining aspects of the natural world or delineating the psychology, customs, or ideals of society: the myth of Eros and Psyche; a creation myth.
b. Such stories considered as a group: the realm of myth.
2. A popular belief or story that has become associated with a person, institution, or occurrence, especially one considered to illustrate a cultural ideal: a star whose fame turned her into a myth; the pioneer myth of suburbia.
3. A fiction or half-truth, especially one that forms part of an ideology.
4. A fictitious story, person, or thing: "German artillery superiority on the Western Front was a myth" Leon Wolff.
And keep in mind, since it is often used by athiests to promote definition #3 its not to big a stretch to see why I thought you were insulting my belief.
I"m not sure what this reality is I"m trying hard to ignore either.
It might be fundiness-inspired, but I'm reasonably sure that this comment is just a mildly insulting joke comment about the poster's mother-in-law, not a truly fundie comment. If she were serious, surely she would never have married her Nephilim-derived husband.
