A soon-to-be-released docu-series will present a rare and researched look at one of the most perplexing Biblical topics: Nephilim (giants).
Produced by The Inspiration Networks, a faith-based family entertainment network, “Angels & Giants, The Watchers & Nephilim” presents four one-hour segments that are a serious investigation into the theories behind the Biblical giants.
Rudy Landa, a senior producer and director at The Inspiration Networks and company CEO David Cerullo decided to make the film three years ago, their enthusiasm for the subject fueled by their love of the Bible.
“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.”

You are reading into statements things that are not there.
LOL
But there are also many other things that Jesus did; which, if they were written every one, the world itself, I think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written. (John 21:25)
Many other signs also did Jesus in the sight of his disciples, which are nit written in this book. But these are written, so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God: and that believing, you may have life in his name. (John 20:30-31)
And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: A power is given me in heaven and in earth. Going therefore, teach ye all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you... . (Matthew 28:18-20)
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures, the things that were concerning him. ... And they said one to the other, Was not our heart burning within us, whilst he spoke in the way, and opened to us the scriptures? (Luke 24:27 and 32)
..all to say that tradition, what Holy Mother Church has taught at all times and in all places, certainly includes pre-biblical, verbally-conveyed TRUTH that, unsurprisingly, does not appear anywhere in the New Testament.
YW.

Jewish explanations interpret them as hybrid sons of fallen angels.
Thanks.

Lot of people here mentioning that they "remember reading" where "they" found some unspecified paleontological or archeological finds somewhere.
Yeah, I think that I read that same article in a magazine in my dentist's waiting room in November of 1979.
Conveniently vague and ambiguous so as to be conveniently unfalsifiable (not capable of being debunked).
Regards,
Enoch is not inspired.

Now it also says very clearly not to add or subtract from scripture. And a heavy penalty is stated. What do you do with that? If God wanted us to know more, he would tell us. We have enough and can’t even do that right, what are you going to do with more?
Deu_4:2 Do not add to or subtract from these commands I am giving you. Just obey the commands of the LORD your God that I am giving you.
Deu_12:32 “So be careful to obey all the commands I give you. You must not add anything to them or subtract anything from them.
Deu 29:29 “The LORD our God has secrets known to no one. We are not accountable for them, but we and our children are accountable forever for all that He has revealed to us, so that we may obey all the terms of these instructions.
Rev 22:18 And I solemnly declare to everyone who hears the words of prophecy written in this book: If anyone adds anything to what is written here, God will add to that person the plagues described in this book.
Rev 22:19 And if anyone removes any of the words from this book of prophecy, God will remove that person’s share in the tree of life and in the holy city that are described in this book.
We are given what we are given. To add or subtract what we are given is dangerous territory.
Are we on the same page, just saying the same thing differently? John 21.25 is the lead in to a lot of mischief if taken in isolation. It is the verse Gnosticism camps on and RC with tradition.
... followed by... “what’s a cubit?”
PeterPrincipal, we are, I regret to inform you, not at all on the same page.
Some say that, to me, you are among “our separated bretheren”.
Such a sad term.
If you have to ask...
That is not what historically occurred, for by the time of Christ , a body of authoritative wholly inspired writings had been manifestly established by the time of Christ, as being "Scripture, ("in all the Scriptures") " even the tripartite canon of the Law, the Prophets and The Writings, by which the Lord Jesus established His messiahship and ministry and opened the minds of the disciples to, who did the same . (Luke 24:27.44,45; Acts 17:2; 1828, etc.)
And Catholic restrictions on reading actually came later in its history, partly due to souls reading what you presume was off-limits. And the later restrictions was not on the content, but the manner of persons allowed access to the relative few copies available, yet it was not restricted to the priests but to those whom priests felt could be trusted with reading them.
And while after Luther died then the church of Rome finally ended sanctioned disagreements on some books, yet the Protestantism canon was settled rather quickly, and which is larger than Luther's and smaller than those of Catholicism, all without a central supreme magisterium decreeing such (though confessions such as that of Westminster defined their accepted canon).
But which is actually that of ratifying the consensus of the faithful. And which church councils are to recognize and ratify this, the establishment pf writings of God, as with men of God, was essentially due to their unique enduring profound Heavenly qualities and attestations. But there are always those who for reasons of their own let themselves be seduced by Rome or Joe Smith and the like, along with their distinctive "revelations" and doctrines, to their own hurt.
" certainly includes pre-biblical, verbally-conveyed TRUTH that, unsurprisingly, does not appear anywhere in the New Testament"
But while men such as the apostles could speak as wholly inspired of God and also provide new public revelation thereby (in conflation with what had been written), church leadership cannot claim the same. And as abundantly evidenced, as written and established, Scripture became the transcendent supreme standard for obedience and testing and establishing truth claims as the wholly Divinely inspired and assured Word of God. Thus the veracity of even apostolic oral preaching could be subject to testing by Scripture. (Acts 17:11) For God manifestly made writing His most-reliable means of authoritative preservation. :Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever." (Isaiah 30:8; cf Exodus 17:14; 34:1,27; Deuteronomy 10:4; 17:18; 27:3,8; 31:24; Joshua 1:8; 2 Chronicles 34:15,18-19, 30-31; Psalm 19:7-11; 102:18; 119; Isaiah 30:8; Jeremiah 30:2; Matthew 4:5-7; 22:29; Luke 24:44,45; John 5:46,47; John 20:31; Acts 17:2,11; 18:28; Revelation 1:1; 20:12, 15; Thus the written word is the assured infallible word of God.
Maybe Enoch got that quoted section right.
It looks pretty correct to me.
The rest of Enoch . . . not so much.
Paul quoted the title of the statue “To the Unknown God”, as an example of quoting from ‘secular’ sources.
He was just using that as a comparison to show that even their own sources had referred to a god they did not know.
I believe the fallen angels did indeed bring technology to the earth. What I don’t know, is what motivated the fallen angels, to leave their first estate (Jude 6) and go after strange flesh? Were they just horny for human women? Did they just want to contaminate the royal bloodline, or maybe all of the above? Whatever the reason, God was, shall we say, more than just a little bit displeased with them, and He killed the Nephilim in the Flood, and locked up those fallen angels, responsible for this, in Tartarus.
“Scripture became...”
No.
Did you ever see or hear that Cosby bit?
Concur.
There are many a useful idiot who reject Scripture when it doesn’t comply to their thinking. They read into scripture, rather than allowing Scripture to flow into their minds and understood spiritually to edify our scarred souls.
All the occupants of the Middle East who were given by God to the Hebrew nation for complete an total slaughter in the OT, also fall into a grouping of those whose genetics had been fouled by the Nephilim.
Even our word “giant” comes from the Latin work “GIGANTES” as used in Gen 6.
8-18ft, to 35ft to even 450ft heights of these beings have been documented by secular sources, with incredible efforts made by occultic worldly authorities to remove all evidence once exposed.
Since they were not made by God, but possessed a body, soul, and spirit as offspring of fallen angels, their spirits do not have the same destiny as humans upon death. Instead, those not sentenced to Tartarus, are condemned to roam the land without bodies, and are known as evil spirits. Many are in the deserts and remote places so as not to interfere with man and God’s Plan.
It is also interesting how those who reject God, scoffing that anybody would believe in Him, such as Wiccans, also demand nobody ever attract these evil spirits. (They believe in spirits, but reject God.) Many covens also promote intercourse with such disembodied spirits in their rituals. So don’t believe pagan arguments that they can’t interact with the physical domain.
Nearly every Ancient Historical society had evidence they were led by the Nephilim. Their size, worship on pyramids, affinity for human sacrifice, cannibalistic tendencies, an inexplicable use of perhaps technology, is a trend in monolithic construction and ancient culture.
