I don’t buy it.

Yes, something happens in our souls, but it doesn’t affect our genetic makeup, something which is necessary for us to pass this on to our children.
Then explain the concept of Original Sin. There is more to our makeup than materialist scientists claim. Scripture claims the consequences of sin is passed from generation to generation.
 
“I will make Your name to be remembered in all generations. Therefore the people shall praise You forever and ever” (Ps 45:17)
We have quite a responsibility to be pure of heart, not just for ourselves, but for all generations.

Original Sin is a stain on our soul. There is no gene with it. Let’s say two identical twins were born - one with Original Sin and one without it (by some supernatural circumstances obviously). Now, if genetic samples were taken from each one, you could not identify the gene that carries Original Sin with it, can you?

Now, going back to your original point, these Nephilim (or giants or whatever they were) would have had a gene in them that was different from the other ones, according to you.

(Douay-Rheims Bible) Genesis 6:4 “Now giants were upon the earth in those days. For after the sons of the sons of God went into the daughters of men, and they brought forth children, these are the mighty men of old, men of renown”

Commentary: ‘It is likely the generality of men before the flood were of a gigantic stature in comparison with what men now are. But these here spoken of are called giants, as being not only tall in stature, but violent and savage in their dispositions, and mere monsters of cruelty and lust.’

Are you looking for a material soul?

I think you’ve described many evil men today.
 
The world is all the richer for having the devil in it, so long as we keep our foot on his neck.
 
The story of the Nephilim is a fascinating one, they were the ‘son’s of God’ which meant they were angels (good or bad?). I’m not sure exactly how this could have happened…but they found the daughters of men fair and procreated with them, this is what the bible says. However, I do know that after this happened people where quite bad enough that God decided to flood the earth.
I’ve always wondered where would they be now? in Heaven or Hell?
As far as I know and have learned, angels themselves do not experience humanity. However fallen angels/demons do mimic humans. This information was revealed by our Lord in 'Direction for our times" and He tells us to be aware as they only want the ruin of our souls. It doesn’t mean God allows any procreation to go on, He wont allow that again.
Well just some more to contemplate…
Thank you for bringing the topic up 👍

According to the Bible God flooded the earth, repenting of having made man. Seems so unjust, what happened to the angels? God blames Himself, he blames man, blames everyone except the angels:shrug:
Noah is supposed to have been not only fair, but blond:thumbsup: Ancient ancestors of the surfer were blond:thumbsup:
How did you learn that angels do not experience humanity?😉
Last bit of your posting, speculation, “God doesn’t allow any procreation to go on”:rolleyes: Wishful thinking?
 
The dogma, doctrine, whatever, of angels and angelology has evolved over the centuries.Ihave postings in sacred scripture"myths and fairy tales" which describe that evolution.I would check out the whole article on angels at:www.jewishencyclopedia.com
 
The fallen angels were still supernatural beings and so perhaps had the power to create offspring just as Mary was able to conceive Our Lord by the power of the Holy Spirit.
NO!!! They do not have this ability!!! The Holy Spirit is God, not some mere spook. He is not subject to anybody, He is God. He can create life because He is God, He is life. He is the Lord and Giver of Life. Angels cannot give life; fallen angels try to take life. The Holy Spirit created those angels. God did not create the angels with sperm…or ovum. That is not the nature of an angel.

The fallen angels do not give life. In their depravity, they attempt to draw life energy from man.

At times angels may appear as human. Unaware we have entertained angels.

Thank you! :clapping:

Incidentally, Thomas Aquinas claims, and quite convincingly I might add, that each angel is a unique species of its own.

You obviously are one of those mimics, may God rebuke you +

Most ‘people’ would have realised I was talking about ‘procreation’ between humans and angels !!
Procreation is between God and humans, we pro-create little human lives together with God. +
p.s. can you Praise Jesus Christ?

I haven’t had sex with God, I’m sure I would have remembered that one:)

And I can’t praise Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit does that for me:thumbsup:, I don’t know how.
 
Come on Kevin. Your smug quip crosses the line between facetiousness and blasphemy. It’s quite offensive.
One has the right to be offended, just as I am offended by a comment which verges on blasphemy and one I find provocative. If my senses were not so appalled I would not have responded in such a sarcastic manner.

I did not mean to infer that angels can create life as God can. I simply meant that there must be some mechanism whereby angels and humans can have offspring as the Bible clearly states that the “sons of God went into the daughters of humans, who bore children to them.”

You are mis-reading “sons of God” to be angels, I think.

The Sons of God are the sons of the righteous son of Adam, Seth. The daughters of humans are the daughters of the fallen son of Adam, Cain.

In The Book of Job the phrase “Sons of God” is used for angelic or non-human beings (Jb 1:6; 2:1). In the New Testament “Sons of God” appears as a name for all who are born again into the family of God (Eph 3:14-15).

(There’s a whole gamut of varied interpretation for Genesis 6:))
