Original Scripture? Or Hoax? (Part Three)
By: Seeker
There’s more in the Bible that bears a closer scrutiny. Put up your hands if you’ve heard of the Nephilim… Apparently, before the flood, some beings called the ‘Sons of God’ found human females to be rather attractive and they came to earth and had kids with them. These kids were ‘Giants’ who, it seems, were not quite what one would expect of the progeny of ‘Sons of God.’ Supposedly, the Flood of Noah took them out, leaving only the sons and daughters of Man.
Now, pardon me for asking, but if there is only one God, who the heck are these ‘Sons of God’ and just what was going on that their children got to be wiped out like that? If they weren’t meant to be on Earth spoiling the Creation, why wouldn’t God just say ‘No!’ and stop them?
This brings to mind the whole Lucifer story. Here’s a guy, second (apparently) only to the Lord God of All, who is described as the brightest and fairest in God’s Creation… and yet he is so stupid, he thinks he can somehow remove the Originator of All and take his place. I mean… come on people! Either he wasn’t very bright at all, (which would make all the other angels a pretty dim-witted bunch) or we are being told fibs.
Also, if God is so all-powerful, how is it that Lucifer gets to go play with the Creation, plotting and scheming to throw it all off track? Why would the One God, the Omnipotent, not be able to better care for his Creation than to let his arch-enemy get a free run at them all for thousands of years?
Even as a kid of eleven, I thought this sounded more like one of those palace revolutions I was reading about in the classic myths. Advisors or nobles only revolt if they think they have a chance, even in fallible Earth socities. If things are as we are being told, Lucifer had literally no chance of supplanting God and he would have to be certifiably moronic to attempt it.
