The people that put me on ignore are people allergic to truth.
Unfortunately, there's very little hope for a cure.
Poor things.
Yeah. Benadryl doesn't work on that.
Whatever. Welcome to the club, Trout! Newbies buy. (You'll need to be quick about it because at the rate he's putting people on Ignore you'll be the newbie for about 20 minutes.)

Benedryl is horrible stuff. It puts Christians to sleep......to the truth.
"I kissed my girlfriend at my house and also afterward, when I kissed her at the soda shop."

King James Bible

International Standard Version
The Nephilim were on the earth at that time (and also immediately afterward), when those divine beings were having sexual relations with those human women, who gave birth to children for them.
NET Bible
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days (and also after this) when the sons of God were having sexual relations with the daughters of humankind, who gave birth to their children.
Og, a remnant [leftover] of the Nephilim..." remnant of when---before the flood or after the flood. Gotta be one or the other. Either way, the Bible says in no uncertain English that Nephilim were on the earth before AND after the flood. That's plain English. That's EXACTLY what the text says.
The verse reads that there were Nephilim AFTER THE FLOOD and also that the Sons of God went in to the women "AFTERWARD"----placing the presence of Nephilim at least AFTER THE FLOOD. We assume the Sons of God did this also BEFORE the flood although it doesn't specifically say so, because how else could the Nephilim have gotten on the earth before the flood if the Sons of God didn't have sex with the human women? So, sex with the women DEFINITEY AFTER THE FLOOD, and we assume BEFORE the flood.
Find a way around that!
The question is what does "Sons of God" mean? The text doesn't suggest they were angels or demons. Nowhere else in scripture is it even hinted at that angels or demons can mate with human beings.
