Can anyone explain the Nephilim If we were created in GODs image, how on the earth did these creatures appear?

Answer 1

IN THE IMAGE OF GOD IS WHO?

Col.1:15-17;
Jesus first creation created in image of God, by him all xist.
John 17:3,5,24;
Jesus was with God before the world was. John 8:58; Jesus was before Abraham.
Gen.1:26;
God said,"Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." NO ONE BUT ADAM.
Adam was a created soul. Adam lived 930 years after sin, as he lost eternal life.
All souls born from Adam, have imperfection of sin, a short life full of trouble to death.
Gen.6:2,4;
Angels did sin before the flood, they changed themselves to have children by females of humankind, the were giants, all them and the violence them was destroyed in the flood.
Jude 6; 1Pet.3:18-20; 2Pet.2:4; These angels are in tartus hell to wait for judgement.
1Cor.6:2,3; Judgement is by the saints.
Rev.12:3,4,6-11,12;
When Satan is cast out of heaven, one third of the angels are cast out with him, afterthe flood. Satan has a short time to Rev.20:1-6,12,13; SO THIS IS END TIME DAYS.
Acts 2:27-35; Matt.22:42-44; Heb.1:1-13; Rom.16:20;
End time days and enemies under feet on footstool earth, is all Jesus and the apostles are waiting for, SATAN AND UNHOLY ANGES DOWN, Michael and the holy angels remain and the heavenly are raised up to be with Jesus.
John 6:39,40,44 the raised up. John 14:3 Enemies down A PLACE IS PREPARED.
1Thes.4:15-17;
Michael is there to last at the caught up tp be with Jesus.

Answer 2

The Book of Genesis says that from the seed of the woman was going to come the Messiah. All through history, Satan has tried to stop that from happening. He did that when Christ was born by having Herod kill all the infants.

With Nephilim, Satan had his fallen angels marry the daughters of man to produce a polluted DNA in humans. The Nephilim were a very evil group, and Satan though if he could pollute the entire DNA line of humans, he would stop the coming of Christ. That's one of the reasons why God killed everyone with the flood. If you read about Noah, it says that Noah was pure in his generations. His bloodline hadn't been polluted, which is one of the reasons he and his family was saved.

Answer 3

The nephilim, according to judaic and christian mythology, were created by the union of fallen angels and wo/men.

It's an oddity to be sure.

Answer 4

Supposedly the angels mated with the human woman.....
God didn't expect that since everyone is suppose to worship him blindly....(baaah,baaaah)
And of course (as usual) god got angry, had a temper tantrum and destroyed them all.
RELIGION IS FARCE!

Answer 5

Well GOd is very powerful.We was by his own image which mean he made up the idea what we look like its like comics.The cartoonist made the character out of his own image.

Answer 6

According to some, it was a diabolical plot to pollute the human genome.

Answer 7

If the Torah-Bible-Qu'ran (in that order) are to be believed....

These are not 'humans' but angelic creatures.... and they come in all shapes and sizes..... but are without gender are are frighteningly beautiful to gaze upon.

By all accounts to look at one was to die in flames immediately....

Answer 8

Explain the what???? Nephilim???? What the #$^^%$ is that?

Answer 9

(Neph´i·lim) [Fellers; Those Who Cause [Others] to Fall Down].

This is a transliteration of the Hebrew word nephi·lim´, plural in its three occurrences in the Bible. (Ge 6:4; Nu 13:33 [twice]) It evidently stems from the causative form of the Hebrew verb na·phal´ (fall) as found, for example, in 2 Kings 3:19; 19:7.

The Bible account describing Jehovah’s displeasure with men in the days of Noah before the Flood relates that “the sons of the true God” took for themselves wives from among the attractive daughters of men. It then mentions the presence of “Nephilim,” saying: “The Nephilim proved to be in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of the true God continued to have relations with the daughters of men and they bore sons to them, they were the mighty ones [Heb., hag·gib·bo·rim´] who were of old, the men of fame.”—Ge 6:1-4.

Identity. Bible commentators, considering verse 4, have offered several suggestions as to the identity of these Nephilim. Some have thought that the derivation of the name indicates that the Nephilim had fallen from heaven, that is, that they were ‘fallen angels’ who mated with women to produce “mighty ones . . . the men of fame.” Other scholars, focusing their attention particularly on the statement “and also after that” (vs 4), have said the Nephilim were not the ‘fallen angels’ or the “mighty ones,” since the Nephilim “proved to be in the earth in those days” before the sons of God had relations with women. These latter scholars hold the opinion that the Nephilim were simply wicked men like Cain—robbers, bullies, and tyrants who roamed the earth until they were destroyed by the Flood. Still another group, taking into consideration the context of verse 4, conclude that the Nephilim were not themselves angels, but were the hybrid offspring resulting from materialized angels having intercourse with the daughters of men.

Same as “gib·bo·rim´.” Certain Bible translations adjust the location of the phrase “and also after that,” placing it near the beginning of verse 4, thus identifying the Nephilim with the “mighty ones,” the gib·bo·rim´, mentioned in the latter part of the verse. For example: “In those days, as well as afterward, there were giants [Heb., han·nephi·lim´] on the earth, who were born to the sons of the gods whenever they had intercourse with the daughters of men; these were the heroes [Heb., hag·gib·bo·rim´] who were men of note in days of old.”—Ge 6:4, AT; see also Mo, NIV, and TEV.

The Greek Septuagint also suggests that both the “Nephilim” and “mighty ones” are identical by using the same word gi´gan·tes (giants) to translate both expressions.

Reviewing the account, we see that verses 1 to 3 tell of “the sons of the true God” taking wives and of Jehovah’s statement that he was going to end his patience with men after 120 years. Verse 4 then speaks of the Nephilim proving to be in the earth “in those days,” evidently the days when Jehovah made the statement. Then it shows that this situation continued “after that, when the sons of the true God continued to have relations with the daughters of men,” and describes in more detail the results of the union of “the sons of the true God” with women.

Who were the ‘sons of God’ that fathered the Nephilim?

Who were “the sons of the true God” that were involved? Were they men who were worshipers of Jehovah (as distinguished from the general run of wicked mankind), as some claim? Evidently not. The Bible implies that their marriage to the daughters of men resulted in whipping up the badness in the earth. Noah and his three sons, along with their wives, were the only ones in God’s favor and were the only ones preserved through the Deluge.—Ge 6:9; 8:15, 16; 1Pe 3:20.

Hence, if these “sons of the true God” were merely men, the question arises, Why were their offspring “men of fame” more than those of the wicked, or of faithful Noah? Also, the question might be asked, Why mention their marriage to the daughters of men as something special? Marriage and childbearing had been taking place for more than 1,500 years.

The sons of God mentioned at Genesis 6:2, therefore, must have been angels, spirit “sons of God.” This expression is applied to angels at Job 1:6; 38:7. This view is supported by Peter, who speaks of “the spirits in prison, who had once been disobedient when the patience of God was waiting in Noah’s days.” (1Pe 3:19, 20) Also Jude writes of “the angels that did not keep their original position but forsook their own proper dwelling place.” (Jude 6) Angels had the power to materialize in human form, and some angels did so to bring messages from God. (Ge 18:1, 2, 8, 20-22; 19:1-11; Jos 5:13-15) But heaven is the proper abode of spirit persons, and the angels there have positions of service under Jehovah. (Da 7:9, 10) To leave this abode to dwell on earth and to forsake their assigned service to have fleshly relations would be rebellion against God’s laws, and perversion.

The Bible states that the disobedient angels are now “spirits in prison,” having been ‘thrown into Tartarus’ and “reserved with eternal bonds under dense darkness for the judgment of the great day.” This seems to indicate that they are greatly restricted, unable again to materialize as they did prior to the Flood.—1Pe 3:19; 2Pe 2:4; Jude 6.

Increased Wickedness. “The mighty ones who were of old, the men of fame” that were produced by these marriages, were not men of fame with God, for they did not survive the Flood, as did Noah and his family. They were “Nephilim,” bullies, tyrants, who no doubt helped to make conditions worse. Their angelic fathers, knowing the construction of the human body and being able to materialize, were not creating life, but lived in these human bodies and, cohabiting with women, brought forth children. Their children, “mighty ones,” were therefore unauthorized hybrids. Apparently the Nephilim did not, in turn, have children.

In Mythology. The fame and dread of the Nephilim, it appears, gave rise to many mythologies of heathen people who, after the confusion of languages at Babel, were scattered throughout the earth. Though the historical forms of the Genesis account were greatly distorted and embellished, there was a remarkable resemblance in these ancient mythologies (those of the Greeks being only one example), in which gods and goddesses mated with humans to produce superhuman heroes and fearful demigods having god-man characteristics.—See GREECE, GREEKS (Greek Religion).

A Report Intended to Terrorize. The ten spies who brought back to the Israelites in the wilderness a false report on the land of Canaan declared: “All the people whom we saw in the midst of it are men of extraordinary size. And there we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who are from the Nephilim; so that we became in our own eyes like grasshoppers, and the same way we became in their eyes.” No doubt there were some large men in Canaan, as other scriptures show, but never except in this “bad report,” which was carefully couched in language designed to strike terror and cause panic among the Israelites, are they called Nephilim.—Nu 13:31-33; 14:36, 37.
