“The Bible describes the Nephilim in several places,” Landa said. “The main commentary of the Nephilim happens in Genesis chapter six. Most people cruise right over that passage. The Nephilim were the offspring of heavenly beings who were placed in the spiritual realm to watch over the earth in those days. They were principalities in the heavenly realm.”

Sorry that his QUOTES here will tend to make some folks think what he said was in the Bible.

It ain't.


 
 

Genesis 6:1-8

When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”

The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.

The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them. But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.


It does NOT say the GIANTs  mated with the Humans; it merely says they were on the earth.

???

So; just WHO are the sons of God and the daughters of humans???

 

The BOOK says: Let Us create Man in Our image.   So there you get some 'sons of God'; right??

The BOOK also says, in Genesis 5:3-4

 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters.

 

These things happened BEFORE Genesis chapter 6....

Well thought out bro. Chuck Missler said, there is something that will absolutely guarantee one won’t learn the truth, and that is condemnation before investigation. He was right.
Yes, I do believe some of these Titans (maybe first generation Nephilim) were up to 450 feet tall. After they were killed in the Flood, their gigantic bodies, just became part of the landscape. Does that mean every mountain, is a dead Nephilim? No, but some are. I watched “the rocks were alive,” on you tube. I saw one of these monstrosities up close, before it was destroyed in an earthquake. It was the old man of the mountain, in New Hampshire. I was utterly stunned, seeing it. I think Goliath and King Og, were pip squeaks, compared to some of these behemoths. Then I started studying this.
In addition to those guys you mentioned, other good authorities, are Trey Smith, Michael Heiser, and Gary Stearman.
Keep up the good work bro.

Hey bro, I forgot to mention, another guy, who is very knowledgeable about the Nephilim, and the fallen angels who fathered them, is Allen Nolan. He is as good as any of them.

8-18ft, to 35ft to even 450ft heights of these beings have been documented by secular sources,

They just MUST be true, because I've seen pictures of bones on the internet!


I've even seen pictures of fossilized dinosaur s#|+

I can't wait until some rock solid giant poop is revealed!

Scripture became the transcendent supreme standard for obedience and testing and establishing truth claims

"No."

Well,.. it plainly did, as is abundantly evidenced, regardless of your vain assertion, as you can only wish an alternative had that functional supreme position.

God uses all for His purposes, he knows of all our possible choices,
If we take Christ word literally we get ,
The birds of the field don’t sow or reap for food why does man, in a non accurate quote, so if that’s the reality he called us to, the only examples are When Israel was being trained in the desert, manna, water from the rock, is a sign of the spiritual alpha omega circle, back to Eden where we came from knowing to follow God is number 1, as deviation from a being who creates as he speaks would leave us far behind..don’t eat that fruit means that..

That’s man’s level of knowledge and he doesn’t get that..

Although I know there is evil influences, God controls all, nothing that prayers through Christ can’t handle..so even though sin brings death and subsequent hell, I believe His will be done, and it is his will none should perish..
How to get man believing in God’s presence in all does not come from study, the fallen thought knowledge was ultimate, knowledge is given by God to those he chooses to..he calls all, who seeks it more than a read and end up agreeing with those who have never seen, and do not apply the commandments to their Christian walk, this is one of the the evils, man thinking he knows..
It brings on so much bs and hate..

Instead of seeking Eden as the vision, earth becomes a dump for the stupid..
God will clean it up..looks like this time to be born into the Heavenly realm..

Let some other planet do the embryo shuffle in the dead realm..for those that eat the fruit, still in kindergarten..

Have fun..

“How else to explain the FACT that there are so many different versions of the Bible - even containing different numbers of books?”

I assume by “versions” you are talking about translations. Last I heard there were maybe 50 different “versions” or translations available.

As for numbers of books contained in them, different sects of supposed christianity as a whole have adopted some extra source materials and added them to their Old Testament. Perhaps the extra material is worth reading, but is certainly not provable to have been written under the influence of the Holy Spirit when compared to the rest of scripture.

For them to conceed that the narrative pertaining to Giants is real would destroy the Darwinian paradigm.

Democrat = party of treason: So you are saying that you believe the Holy Spirit incapable of making certain that the written word of the living God is exactly what it claims itself to be?

Thanks for answering your own question!

So the Holy Spirit has apparently seen fit to allow scores of different versions and translations of the Bible to come into circulation. Or the Holy Spirit was "incapable" of "making certain" that no corrupted versions - some containing extra books - came into being to mislead poor laypeople.

Thanks for clarifying this.

100% correct. I thought I implied that. Sorry if I didn’t make that as clear as I should have. 😀😆🤗

Maybe, but if His Word says it, why doubt it?

Numbers 13:33

We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.”

Extrapolate at will.
