humanity’s weight of sin was responsible for the flood.
the “rocks were alive” fails as many of the structures are a few centuries old and all are weather beaten.
The whole Nephilim were products of unions of men and angels fails as man is of dust and angels are non-corporeal
JohnHuang2 used to post a ton of articles. I wonder what ever happened to him.
I disagree bro, but I doubt if there is even one issue that I agree with you on. I am TOTALLY ok with that. I do agree with you on one thing, and it probably is the ONLY thing we will ever agree on. That is, I hope Trump is elected again. Other than that, we will not agree on anything. There is no reason to communicate with you. Have a nice eternity, if you make it. Now, let me read all the other responses.
Problem: a cubit is the length of a forearm of a normal Hebrew man. Why didn’t nephilim use a cubit measure of a man rather than their own forearm measure?
“The author says the fathers were malevolent spirits, or demons.
“The Nephilim, then, were ‘a hybrid of demons and men. They were evil and wicked by nature and could not be rehabilitated and made good, for the evil was in their genes.’”
We now refer to them as Democrats.
Pyramid dimensions were measured by the Royal Cubit rather than the ordinary cubit
LOL. You might be on to something there. Maybe someone inadvertently left off the “n” and maybe it should be “demon crat” instead of democrat. 😁
I have been studying this for about five years; and it appears the interpretation you are presenting -- that the "giants" were the descendants of Cain and Seth -- did not exist until about the 4th century AD. Prior to that, it was almost universally accepted that heavenly angels rebelled, came down to earth, adopted the bodies of earthly men, married earthly women, and procreated hybrid offspring ("giants".) The spirits of the hybrid offspring became "demons" upon their deaths. The angels themselves were bound in "chains of darkness" until judgment day.
The angel rebellion was briefly mentioned in these passages from the New Testament:
"For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;" -- 2Pet 2:4-5 KJV
"And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day." -- Jude 1:6 KJV
One must visit the intertestamental literature of Enoch, Jubilees, and Jasher to grasp the full meaning. Recall that Jude wrote:
"And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him." -- Jude 1:14-15 KJV
That passage is found in the book of Enoch, as expected:
"And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones To execute judgement upon all, And to destroy all the ungodly: And to convict all flesh Of all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed, And of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him." -- Enoch 1:9
Enoch also wrote of the angels marrying the daughters of men:
"And they have gone to the daughters of men upon the earth, and have slept with the women, and have defiled themselves, and revealed to them all kinds of sins. And the women have borne giants, and the whole earth has thereby been filled with blood and unrighteousness." -- Enoch 9:8-9 KJV
There is also a passage in the book of Jasher that possibly explains the enormous number of species that were not led to the ark by God, and therefore ended up as part of the fossil record. It states the animal kingdom was corrupted by the the hybridization of the animal species:
"And their judges and rulers went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons of men in those days took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke the Lord; and God saw the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon earth, all men and all animals." -- Jasher 4:18 KJV
The canon concurs by stating that ALL flesh was corrupted (not just mankind,) which caused God to sent the flood to destroy all flesh -- both man and land animal -- along with the earth:
"And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth." -- Gen 6:12-13 KJV
But Noah found grace.

Selah ... pause here, readers, to hear what the Spirit says.
And it will happen again - or it’s happening (now) again.
Luke 17:26
Matthew 24:37
This is why we keep repeating ourselves that you know squat about the Bible.
Your premise is false because you don’t care to look outside your little Preterist Catholic box.
Jude 1:6
Genesis 6 (specifically dives into that very subject).
If you still want to believe your nonsense then I will say there is none so blind as those who refuse to see - even after the evidence in God’s Holy Word is presented before them.
Your loss for not wanting to learn or even open your eyes.
R WarCriminal - making such statements is against the forums rules - you know “no personal attacks”
MHG - again, the “you spittle” - really against the rules of the forum.
I don’t know, he may have passed.

I would suggest reading a Bible - you may not have one, but I’d suggest getting one and reading it.
Angels are purely spiritual beings - which is why the Gnostics believed that Jesus was a phantasm
Different spacetime coordinate system - err... you do realize that the coordinate systems are in the same four dimensional construct, right?
Perhaps stringing together random words without the knowledge of what they mean isn’t the best idea for your posts, eh?
Bro, putting your own spin on what the Bible says is pretty wrong.
Angels are non-corporeal beings - beings of pure spirit.
I do suggest re-checking what you may watch on youtube bro - it is not the thing to base your faith on, bro
book of enoch in KJV?
>>book of enoch in KJV?
Perhaps you should read my post before asking questions about it.
