Did Nephilim Really Help Noah with Building the Ark before the Flood?

As I know, Noah built his ark to save his family and other animals from the Flood. This is actually mentioned in the Bible. But I have not heard about Nephilim helping something with it.

So, what do you think about Nephilim in this book? Did Nephilim actually do that in the Bible, or is this just the author's opinion?

I think that this is just the authors opinion. I've never seen biblical backing to confirm that theory.

I believe it's just the author's opinion. I have not read of Nephilim during my own Bible practice.

It's a thin line to tread. The Nephilim in my studies refers to a rank of Angels. There is belief that Angels lay with humans and giants were created. As to if they helped with the ark its a concept that makes sense.

We already know the author wrote so many things from his opinion—this is just one of them.

The author just tried to fill gaps that were left in the biblical stories. This one is one of the fillers that the author uses through his perception and imagination.

The bible never reported that Nephilim helped Noah in building the ark. To the best of my knowledge, Noah built the ark to save his family and the animals from the flood. nothing was mentioned about Nephilim.

This was the authors opinion. The bible doesn't really account for Nephilim helping Noah build the Ark.

An extremely thin line to thread, especially because in subsequent books they mat be considered enemies of Gods plan, even in the way of their birth.

Yes, but most Christians may be offended by this perception or imagination

Yeah this is interesting. The author maybe used his imagination to write about what could probably happen.

Yes, I thought so too. The Bible has never said that.

It's the author's opinion. The account in the Bible shows that the Nephilim didn't help Noah to build the ark. They were rogue giant beings that influenced violence on earth.
(“The mighty ones who were of old, the men of fame” that were produced by these marriages, were not men of fame with God, for they did not survive the Flood, as did Noah and his family. They were “Nephilim,” bullies, tyrants, who no doubt helped to make conditions worse. Their angelic fathers, knowing the construction of the human body and being able to materialize, were not creating life, but lived in these human bodies and, cohabiting with women, brought forth children. Their children, “mighty ones,” were therefore unauthorized hybrids. Apparently the Nephilim did not, in turn, have children.")

I could be wrong but I'm fairly certain that it's not in the original biblical texts.
