Paul warned about giving heed to βJewish fables.β The fables about supernatural hybrid nephilim are bunk.
The governing institutions of Christendom are the 'nephilim' or 'fallen angels.'
The 'giants' of Genesis are empires and tyrants created by Christianity.

From Genesis to Malachi the Bible is very poetic. The Psalms are top-shelf poetry.
Much of the New Testament uses the same poetic emblems of the Old Testament.
God the Father is the master of poetry.

To 'see the face' of an authority figure or ruler is a turn of phrase, or idiom. It is not necessarily literal. In the ancient near east, Orient, and Mesopotamia, 'the face' of a ruler meant his representative or authorized agent. If you see the king's ambassador, you are seeing the king's 'face'. Jesus even said,
"He that hath seen me hath seen the Father."
Jesus was not claiming to be the Father. He was claiming to be his 'face' or representative.
'Jacob' means 'supplanter'. He supplanted Esau in the birthright of the older brother, in the same way that Christ and the Apostles supplanted Judea with the new body of Christ. Paul the Apostle explains this:
"For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all."
The story of Jacob versus Esau and Isaac and Ishmael are prophecy of the struggle between fleshly Israel and Christ, who supplants the kingdom of Judea with the new body of Christ, the people of the new covenant. Thus Paul said:
"Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. [note: The Jews who persecuted the Nazarenes are Ishmael.] Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free."
Judea was cast out and supplanted by the new covenant believers. This is Jacob, or Israel, taking Esau's birthright, as prophesied in Genesis. The New Covenant people supplanted the Old Covenant people. This is Jacob supplanting Esau and becoming Israel. Paul directly identifies the ancient Judeans as the Hagar or Ishmael of the Old Testament, contiguous to the Esau of Genesis:
"For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children."
Thus the ancient Jews were not Israel:
"Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed."
In this same vein Paul elaborates that the Jews of his day are actually Esau rather than Jacob:
"It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated."
The flesh is Esau. The spirit is Israel. The spiritual are counted for the seed, while the flesh is counted for the elder who is rejected and supplanted by the younger Jacob / supplanter.
'Israel' means he that rules with God or as God, and means that Israel is God's new 'face'.
Jesus is the head of Israel. The believers are the body of Christ or Israel.
Anyone who sees a true Nazarene minister who knows and speaks the truth of Christ's gospel without lies or hypocrisy, is 'seeing the face of Christ.'
"Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life."
"For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous."
"Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:"The Father gave the Law of Moses to snare everyone in sin, so everyone would be covered by the final sacrifice for sin. Without the Law making the world cognizant of sin, the sacrifice could not cover them. With the Law causing abundance of sin and making iniquity abound, then all are covered by the Lamb.
God is orders of magnitude beyond genius. But sadly Christians don't seem to think God can save on account of man's "omnipotent" free will thwarting God's plan.
The problem with the Christian religion is that their religious leaders think God needs their help to 'spread the gospel' and 'save souls'. In truth, God has been spreading the gospel in spite of the Christian religion perverting it for sixteen plus centuries.

I am doing some research on the nativity of Jesus of Nazareth. I am looking into the many sectarian traditions and scholarly opinions on this subject.
I would like to get hermeneutic opinions and off the cuff opinions on some groundwork questions.
1. What actual year do you think Jesus was born?
2. How old was Mary when she was married?
3. How did Mary conceive?
4. What is the significance of his birthplace?
5. What is the significance of the Magi who sought him after his birth?
6. Why was it necessary or significant for an angel to tell Mary she was going to conceive?
Where possible, links or citations would be useful for particular opinions or traditional explanations.

He said, "Of course I may be wrong,
But I wouldnβt be surprised
If this were the greatest Christian church
That ever man devised.
Our organ is the very best
Our choir stays on key.
Our stained glass windows β priceless
Our pulpit β the best youβll see."
But only the wealthy were welcome there,
I heard slanderous gossip galore,
And from that pulpit so highly prized
The preacher glorified war.
"Is there anything more you could want in a church?"
In pride, he said to me.
"Just one thing," I made reply β
"Christianity!"
