Did God destroy the world with a flood because of man's evil or because of the nephilim?

Question

Genesis 6:3 "And the sons of God, (a reference to angels) beheld the women of earth (the sons of God are not of earth) and behold they were fair ( pleasing to the eye), and took of them, whom they would choose. And there were giants in the land and men of great renown. ( a reference to beings of superhuman stature and intellect) part human, part angelic supercreature.
These are called the "nephilim" in the Hebrew which means "the fallen ones" (a reference to fallen angels)
THIS WAS AN ATTEMPT TO CUT OFF A TRUE HUMAN BLOODLINE FOR THE PROMISED MESSIAH.
These are the angels of the bottomless pit in the book of revelation.
GOD DESTROYED THE WORLD WITH A FLOOD IN ORDER TO DESTROY THE NEPHILIM OFFSPRING AND PRESERVE A PURE HUMAN BLOODLINE FOR CHRIST.

IF GOD DESTROYED THE WORLD BECAUSE MAN WAS EVIL. WHY IS HE NOT DESTROYING IT RIGHT NOW???

Answer 1

There is a discussion about the deluge's possibly hidden purposes on this HP:
http://bythebible.page.tl/

the page specific to your question is named "The deluge--Why?"
http://bythebible.page.tl/The-Deluge_A-Hidden-Purpose.htm

The Bible itself gives only a brief direct reason. But apart from the account in Genesis, other reasons may be extrapolated.

As to why God hasn't destroyed the present world, please open you Bible to Matthew chapter 24 and read it. You'll see many things that already have happened and more that soon will.

Answer 2

1) God did not destroy the whole earth. The Book of Genesis, in Greek and Hebrew, simply states that the "entire region" was flooded and that the water covered the "high hills." The Bible dates the Flood of Noah to around 3000 BC - archaeologists confirm a massive flooding of southern Mesopotamia at this time.
2) The Nephilim were not the offspring of fallen angels and human beings. The Bible does not make this claim, and the very idea goes against the internal logic of Scripture. If fallen angels were capable of taking on human form, then Jesus would not have invited the disciples to touch him as proof of the resurrection. They already suspected that he was a spirit - his physicality assured them that he was not.
3) The Nephilim, according to many early Christian theologians, were the result of a union between the lineage of Seth (sons of God) and the lineage of Cain (sons of men). They were not wiped out during the Flood - the Nephilim are mentioned many times in the Old Testament, and survived at least until the time of King David (Goliath of Gath was a Nephilim).

Answer 3

The story of a Great Flood sent by a deity or deities to destroy civilization as an act of divine retribution is a widespread theme in Greek and many other cultural myths. The stories of Noah and the ark in Genesis, Matsya in the Hindu Puranas, Deucalion in Greek mythology and Utnapishtim in the Epic of Gilgamesh are among the most familiar versions of these myths. A large percentage of the world's cultures past and present have stories of a "great flood" that devastated earlier civilization.

Please prove that GOD exists - as far as I acn see, mankind is doing a very good job of currently destroying the world, nature is already fighting back, floods, drought, tornadoes and ice caps melting (nothing to do with 'god'!!!)

the nephilim are a made up story!!

Answer 4

If you read Rashi's commentary on 'Genesis', you will find that he calls he Refaim a group of giants, one from the time of the flood- children of the Nephilim and men, and one from the time of Abraham- just really strong people. Only one person survived the flood other than Noah and his family, and it was Og of the Refaim, who held onto the ark. This is all in the Rashi.
The world was destroyed because there was such widespread evil in mankind, not because of the Nephilim being on the earth. Read Parshat Noach to see that- Noach was the only good man left, so he was commanded to uild the ark, etc.
