The SOULS of the Nephilim?

Hello All.  This question has been bothering me for a while, and I welcome your ideas.  I understand and accept the concept of Genesis 6, as outlined by Marzulli, Missler, Hamp, Skiba, and many others.  I understand the concept of the hybrids.  However, I do NOT understand where the SOULS of these hybrid Nephilim come from.  I do NOT believe they come from God... so where DO the souls that animated the Nephilim (and now roam about as demons) come from?  I was led to a conclusion that I don't like, but I'd like to hear your comments first.  Thanks.

 Enoch knew much when talking about Nephilim....


Demons According To Enoch


Much of the belief surrounding the origin of demons being tied to the Nephilim that were killed in the flood, comes from the following verses in the book of Enoch:

Quote :

“And now, the giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh, shall be called evil spirits upon the earth, and on the earth shall be their dwelling. Evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies; because they are born from men and from the holy Watchers is their beginning and primal origin; they shall be evil spirits on earth, and evil spirits shall they be called. [As for the spirits of heaven, in heaven shall be their dwelling, but as for the spirits of the earth which were born upon the earth, on the earth shall be their dwelling.] And the spirits of the giants afflict, oppress, destroy, attack, do battle, and work destruction on the earth, and cause trouble: they take no food, but nevertheless hunger and thirst, and cause offences. And these spirits shall rise up against the children of men and against the women, because they have proceeded from them.” – Enoch 15:8-12

The problem with accepting Enoch, for many Christians, is that it does not appear with the other 66 books referred to as canon. However, failure to appear as canon in the English Bible doesn’t mean that its not useful for historical context. After all, Montezuma, Columbus, and the great majority of world history does not appear in the Bible.


According to Enoch, the demons are the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim that died in the flood. Being part human and part angel, they became something different and evil. The Bible does not say this directly, but there are two pieces of evidence contained within the Bible which may validate the verses in Enoch.

Thank you Colonel.  But...  where did they come from at conception?  Originally?  What animated them originally?  From the text above, I am understanding they are "spirits of the earth", as opposed to us, who received the breath of God, and are therefore "spirits of heaven".  That means that if they are "spirits of the earth", they would be akin to the animals?  Like animals, but evil and unnatural and highly intelligent.  So, they are "spirits of the earth"?
