"The Canaanites Were Not Salvageable --- They Had Sunk To The Very Bottom On The Immorality Scale"

Several months ago a FReeper made a comment about Michael Heiser and the Genesis 6 conspiracy. I wasn't familiar with either, but I was curious, so I started doing a little research and it all ties into this thread pretty neatly.

"The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them." Genesis 6:4

Some believe the Nephilim were directly responsible for the earth being so corrupt that God ultimately sent the Flood, destroying all life, except for Noah with his wife, his three sons and their wives, and the animals on the ark. And yet, the Israelites encountered the descendants of the Nephilim, among the Canaanites, when they entered the promised land much later on. How did the Nephilim survive the Flood?

"... Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his time; Noah walked with God. Genesis 6:9

The Bible says Noah, was righteous and blameless, but Genesis 6:12 says "all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth." It seems reasonable that if all flesh was corrupt, except for Noah, then someone else on the ark must have been the source for the post-Flood appearance of the Nephilim.

Shortly after the flood, Noah cursed his grandson, Canaan (it's a long story), the ancestor of the Canaanites. The Canaanites represented a continuation of the corrupt line that led to the Flood, so it makes perfect sense that God would want that very specific line destroyed, because permitting them to continue on would only result in the earth becoming utterly corrupt again.

The Canaanites didn't sink to the bottom on the immorality scale, they were at the bottom from their very beginning.

I think I am in agreement with about 99% of your post. I do believe the Flood, was brought on the earth, SPECIFICALLY to kill off the Nephilim. There was a second, smaller outbreak of the Nephilim in the promised land. Once again, like with the Flood, God ordered their complete destruction. They were Nephilim, hybrids.
I would only digress slightly, in that I think the second outbreak of Nephilim, was caused by alien abductions, just like it is today. 🤗 Or, it might be like you say. We just don’t know for sure. Either way, they were there. 🤪😂😆🤣👍
