Thanks. I also find Ron Wyatt's discoveries verifying Biblical history very interesting. https://www.youtube.com/@ronwyattcom Walter Veith also has good videos on creation vs evolution, amongst other things.

I don't think it's mental gymnastics. It's always been my personal view. HOWEVER, my recent discussion with ClaytonB has my rethinking my position here regarding Jepthtah. I'm preparing a post in response to ClaytonB... in how the context of Genesis 6 should be interpreted. It's making me...

... who look pretty much the same as other people, and can reproduce with other people. This in and of itself doesn't prove anything. In the early days Cain and his lineage split off from Seth and his lineage. It's not surprising that would result in two different groups of people with enough...

It's a legitimate thing in Hebrew. https://judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/11051/when-do-we-read-a-vav-prefix-as-or-rather-than-and It's not even the core of the argument, anyways. Context is. Context of this particular chapter, and the larger context of the Bible. I thought it was...

What does the DNA evidence suggest? That a particular group of people in the past that they refer to as neanderthals mixed with another group of people they refer to as "normal" people? That these two groups were able to reproduce together, and thus are of the same kind? Ok.

To be honest it was the first way I ever read it. I was surprised when I was told people interpret it the way you do. It really is the most straight forward reading. Nevertheless, you are free to interpret as you wish.

Thank you, here's a response I have regarding "sons of God". I might respond to other parts of your response later, depending on how this conversation goes. I really think the crux of the matter is with this phrasing. I also learned something new today about this, regarding Deuteronomy 32:8...

I couldn't find the original image :(

The AI summary of this video says .... "Explore how Neanderthals and early humans coexisted for over 200,000 years, challenging previous evolutionary models. New fossil discoveries in the Levant reveal a complex history of interaction and gene flow. This compelling documentary uses DNA and...

ClaytonB, thank you again for your replies. I'm not yet ready to respond. I promise I will, though.

Yes In Judges 11:31, Jephthah says: "shall surely be the LORD'S, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering." The Hebrew letter vav is usually translated as "and," but it can also mean "OR." Alternative Translation: Many scholars argue the vow actually meant: "It shall be the LORD's [if it...

Thanks for the replies, will read tomorrow. Have a good night!

Here's some additional examples where God intervenes in similar circumstances, suggesting he wouldn't allow Jepthah to actually sacrifice his daughter, if that is what he tried to do (big if). Just makes more sense she went into service at the temple. I'll rest my case here for now. 1. The...

Judges 11:31 in KJV reads Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD'S, AND I will offer it up for a burnt offering. Based on context should read OR instead of AND. This is...

So is your position angel/human hybrids or just genetic manipulation? I won't outright deny genetic manipulation could have occurred with animals back in the day. I am highly skeptical of entire races of humans having human/animal genetics though. But yes, animal breeding can be very harmful...
