It appears the publisher of World Net Daily is worried that people might quit referring to the site as "Wing Nut Daily". In addition to the regular practice of uncritically running anti-evolution screeds masquerading as news articles, we now have an article on "The Nephilim".
The what?Published by Xulon Press, "The Nephilim and the Pyramid of the Apocalypse" presents an explanation for an unusual verse in the first book of the Bible, Genesis 6:4, which reads: "There were giants (Nephilim) in the Earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men and they bare children to them."
Oh.
...continued in full post...It seems the giants were the result of angels who came to earth, mated with humans women, and fathered offspring of unusual strength, size, and intellect. These folks were responsible for building pyramids in Egypt and in South America. (And you thought it was Ancient Astronauts.)
But wait, there's more! The nephilim were not fathered by just any angels...
The result of the unions, Heron says, were the Nephilim, Hebrew for giants, that are mentioned in verse 4. The fathers, also are referred to as Nephilim, which also means "the fallen ones." The author says the fathers were malevolent spirits, or demons.
Go ahead and read the rest of the article if you're interested. But let me call your attention to a couple of passages:
Perhaps the most famous biblical Nephilim [sic] was Goliath, the man who stood over 13 feet tall and was slain by shepherd boy David.
And
Heron says the earthly pyramids were Satan's attempt, via the Nephilim, to try to exalt himself and imitated [sic] God.
Whoever wrote this apparently didn't pay too much attention to the fact that "nephilim" is a plural in Hebrew, nore did he care to make sure the tenses of compound verbs agreed with each other. The latter is something a good grammar check should have caught.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm seeing a Satanist conspiracy to make Christianity look as stupid as possible.
