@ Jon Ericson - Thanks for the reference, there is not a lot of info on that point of view!

comment Is there an English equivalent for Nephilim of Genesis 6:4?
@BobJones - They may have been alive still at the time of Gen 6:4, but they were clearly not alive for the reference in Num 13:33. For the Gen passage to be refering to Adam, Eve and Cain in the context doesn't read smoothly for me. I suppose there could be a sense that they were alive when the "Sons of God" were marrying the daughters of men. I have always read it to say that the Nephilim were being equated with the "sons of God" which wouldn't make sense with Eve in the group. thanks for asking.

comment “Until they see the kingdom of God” in Luke 9:27 and parallels
@ Caleb -- I was following up on the previous answer and noticed that this possible interpretation was omitted from the list. As I figure out how these SE sites work better I will try to provide more complete answers.

comment What does “Jealous” mean in Exodus 34:14?
The KJV and NKJV do use Zealous in verse 13, The NASB and ESV use Jealous in the same place. The meaning is a nuance I think and I see your point, perhaps my language was more black and white than I intended it to be.

comment What's wrong with cooking a kid in its mother's milk?
RJ Rushdoony in his Institutes of Biblical Law vol 1 Pg 300 says "The Ras Shamra tablets indicate that such seething was a Canaanite sacred ritual. It would appear that the fertility cults believed that they could either stimulate or destroy fertility at will, since it was under their control."
