1. AER: im not sure if my previous one got through but i listened to a pod cast on theology in the Raw talking about the toxic war on masculinity, and the lady in their talked about how gender roles were not subject to what we think now. Families used to work in the home together doing the family business. It was after the Industrial Revolution that men started to really work outside of the home without the rest of their families.

2. I was reading though Genesis i ran into the word "Nephilim" chapter 6 v4. I was hoping you guys could provide some background on who they are. Because if the verses before and after the bible talks about the sons and daughters of God I can only assume they the Nephilim's are different. My assumption with quick research is that they are giants possible like Goliath.

3. Did god make a mistake when he made people inter-sex? because if god created man and woman, what is to be said about people who are born this way?

4. In 1 Sam 15 we are introduced to David. In 1 Sam 16 David is introduced to Saul, and it is clear to Saul who David is and who his father is. In 1 Sam 17:12 the author of 1 Samuel introduces David to us again, as though he was never introduced in Ch. 15. In 1 Sam 17:55-58 it seems as though Saul has no idea of who David is. What is going on here? It feels like 1 Sam chapter 17 was an insert from another author added after the original book was written.
