: If indeed the Nephilim were a hybrid race, is there really any reason to assume that the same type of hybridization wasn't taking place after the flood as well? --[[User:Ashcraft|Ashcraft]] - ([http://creationwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:ashcraft&action=edit&section=new talk]) 07:30, 30 June 2012 (PDT) | : If indeed the Nephilim were a hybrid race, is there really any reason to assume that the same type of hybridization wasn't taking place after the flood as well? --[[User:Ashcraft|Ashcraft]] - ([http://creationwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:ashcraft&action=edit&section=new talk]) 07:30, 30 June 2012 (PDT) | ||
That's a good question. From my understanding of '''Jude 6''' divine intervention occurred so that the demons are now "held" in "eternal bonds" or "chains." A parallel text said they have been thrown into "Tartarus" into "pits of dense darkness" "to be reserved for judgement. ('''2 Peter 2:4''') | |||
These wicked "spirits in prison" ('''1 Peter 3:19, 20''') would be now greatly restricted. How so? Since their still creating havoc today and according to the book of Job (written after the flood) Satan (a fallen angel himself) was still able to enter and interrupt a gathering in Heaven. (Job 1:6-12) | |||
This leaves me to the conclusion they were permanently restricted from materializing. Which seems logical to me since they were abusing a God-given ability. | |||
They are limited but they can still possess people and animals under certain circumstances. The Hebrew phrase at Genesis seem to connecting the two clauses into one thought. --[[User:Anaccuratesource|Anaccuratesource]] 14:06, 30 June 2012 (PDT) |
