Demons are NOT disembodied spirits of dead nephilim

THE CASE AGAINST DEMONS BEING DISEMBODIED SPIRITS OF DEAD NEPHILIM - "No suggestion is found in any of the texts of the Hebrew Bible that the Rephaim/Nephilim might be regarded as 'alive' or 'living' or otherwise as having some form of 'personal existence' after they were killed. Isaiah 26:14 says "Dead -- they live not, Rephaim, they rise not, Therefore Thou hast inspected and dost destroy them, Yea, thou destroyest all their memory." Isaiah 26:14 YOUNG'S LITERAL TRANSLATION. Isaiah here prophesies that the Rephaim will not rise in the resurrection because God has wiped out all remembrance of them. So if the prophet thought that the only way that the Rephaim could exist again was through bodily resurrection, they could hardly exist again by posessing an immortal soul. Isaiah 26 is pointing out the contrast between the outcome for the dead Israelites and the dead Rephaim. God destroyed the Rephaim, which means that they can't then be existing in some other form. To quote Isaiah 26:14 from the Hebrew Bible, the Tanach, the Stone Edition: "They are dead, never to live, lifeless, never to arise. Therefore You punished and destroyed them, and eradicated any memory of them." The Nephilim had half human half angel DNA, this does not equal an immortal/disembodied soul. Death does NOT transform the mind of a Nephilim into an independent entity which no longer needs the brain to function. The dependence of mental states on the brain during life strongly implies that when the brain dies the mind dies with it, otherwise your contradicting the words of Isaiah which support the extinction hypothesis". Regarding the poetic texts of Job 26: 5-6 Biblical scholar Joel B. Green writes Quote - "No suggestion is found in any of these texts that the Rephaim might be regarded as 'alive' or 'living' or otherwise as having some form of 'personal existence'. Nor do we find in these texts any speculation regarding what transpires between this life and the life to come, or with regard to what transpires between death and resurrection.
