The "Ancients were not giants.

It's amazing how some try read into the bible what isn't there.
What book tries to reference, is the population following Adam in Genesis, but still the time when they lived in the garden of Eden before the "flood". Enoch was one of the ancients, who had followed God's ways, and one of the few who ascended into Heaven after a very long life. It's thought by some that this was a time when God's creation still lived in the initial form God created us as, his own image or spiritual form, the one that Adam was created as before "God gave him clothes of skin" If you look in the Gospels, it was Some of those ones who Jesus went into the other realm to preach to just after he was crucified and before his assent ion. Jesus said "He was there from the beginning".

This "land of the giants" is obviously a much different approach. Maybe it's something being spread around by people wishing to destroy Christian and Jewish beliefs in order to promote another belief, a belief in a ridiculous cult called Islam, where it's "Prophet" used a sword for "Profit", and told fabulous stories of Adam, being a "Giant" who was so tall that his head was in heaven, where he liked to listen to the angels sing. The Angels got upset about this, and complained to Allah, who then reduced his size. Even then, Adam's stride was such that every footprint he made while roaming the earth turned into a city, and the distance between them became a desert.
Adam fell on day, and bumped his head against heaven, rubbing of his hair creating a bald spot. He passed this gene down to all mankind of his lineage. ("falling" and thus bumping his head against "heaven", gives us a good idea where the Islamic heaven is).

Another question comes to mind (many do when reading the Hadith) is if Adam was the only man on earth at the time, who built these cities, and for what purpose were they when Adam was the only man on earth. Plus he was WAY WAY TO TALL to ever live in such tiny places.

Anyways, I think I've shed some light as to where this "land of the giants" bible interpretation is leading suckers toward.

Land of the Giants? Where did you get that? The Bible is clear, it says there were giants in those days meaning this was a peculiarity. It also says what caused there to be giants, who they were the offspring of.

Truth is truth, if someone wants to take the truth that the Bible says and then squeeze it and stretch it and pervert it, that is a big mistake. Genesis 6 only speaks of the sons of god who had children by the daughters of men, the offspring being giants. It does not say anyone was like them before this time. Those who stick to what the Bible says, rightly dividing the Word, will be much better off and will not let their vain imagination correct the bible.
