A Nephilim festival??

[ciicii]

I try to stay away from news at this point because I don't' think we are meant to be seeing so much at once. But what are your thoughts on this. Sometimes I feel like maybe the end is closer than we think because there is so much depravity world wide.

Like how do they not see how demonic this is? If they are praising this is there even a point to say anything at this point. (I know we are called to fight back and bring people to the Lord, 100% but it can be daunting at times, and in this case it is just because I am at a loss for words).

It is definitely demonic, but practices similar to this have been taking place on the globe for thousands of years, so I don't know if it's a clear sign that we are close to the end. However, I do believe that we are pretty close to the end for other reasons.

Yeah I can't tell anymore because what trends are the disturbing stuff online. So it may look like more than what it actually is (not the demonic part but occurring more and more I mean). I know people in paganaism (i guess technically all of sin we are born fallen) come to Christ. I would love to see some people get saved and hear their testimonies.

As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of man. Matthew 24:37

It just looks like the Hindu festival where they pierce each other with needles etc.
Thaipusam

IDK I don't really bother watching those kinds of you-tube videos. I'm just basing it on the pic I don't actually bother watching most of them.

They are alarmist about things that have been going on for thousands of years. Just because other people celebrate a festival, doesn't mean you have to.

Also you don't have to click on everything you-tube recommends you. Actually it would be better if you didn't.

Nephilim is a term properly translated giant in the Traditional text.

There are a lot of speculative theories started by popular old Christian commentators that mystify the term and make entire histories they try to embellish outside of sound Bible doctrine. I remember conversations as a teenager around the kitchen table with the adult and her open Dakes study Bible. We'd have been far ahead studying a plain Bible without some guy interrupting the Holy Spirit's guidance. It took years to get a clear understanding on certain teachings after those impressionable years.
There's a lot about giants.
There's no clear verse in the entire Bible that we can find that teaches that one kind of creature can reproduce with another kind. However that IS a common theme in paganism/satanism. They really push the sexual perversion themes.

Yeah, i grew up with the same kind of conversations on the table. I view nephilim as whatever the children of the angels or whatever. I am not sure 100%.

I do know that it means giant though, I am just shocked because it looks so demonic and people still praise it.

The common pattern of paganism mixing reproduction between man and beast is disturbing though. or any other 'kind'

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I know that our knowledge is limited, which means we don't' really need to know since God did not provide that information. But I do still wonder. XD

Don't get your news from you-tube

My dad always got confused when things would come up on there like when it says a famous singer/artist had died when they hadn't.

He said he had to go on Wikipedia to find out the truth! lol

Daniel 2​

43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

XD I wouldn't call this news, just a a starting place for discussion.

the nephilim are still a real topic for discussion, but not a serious one. But the festival is real and concerning enough. I agree though to always double check your resources. My dad is actually the same way. It cause him a lot of grief and anger tbh

Wikipedia don't always tell the truth either though is the problem. I think it's all important to take in information from all of sources whether books. TV. Internet. The main thing is to test it for actual truth because most things can be proven to be true or false scientifically. Like Jesus and the cross, and the Shroud of Turin. God has given us the power of discernment, reasoning and rationality naturally as human beings. What I try to always do is test everything I think might be relevant to my life biblically.
So any talk of giants and idolatry should be taken seriously, because God warns us that at the end times the nephilim will be back like the days of Noah so it's important that we prepare mentally for everything that's about down because like the also say no-one knows the hour or day not even the son.

Neither is there a clear verse in the entire Bible that we can find that teaches that one kind of creature cannot reproduce with another kind.

In fact, why would that phrase even need to be mentioned if it was impossible for unlike kinds to mate and reproduce?

Here are all the appearances of the phrases that represent the same word:

after their kind
after his kind
after her kind
according to their kinds
- source: 18 verses

Groups of living organisms belong in the same created "kind" if they have descended from the same ancestral gene pool. But what if they have not?

The common pattern of paganism mixing reproduction between man and beast is disturbing though. or any other 'kind'

Yes.

So any talk of giants and idolatry should be taken seriously, because God warns us that at the end times the nephilim will be back like the days of Noah so it's important that we prepare mentally for everything that's about down because like the also say no-one knows the hour or day not even the son.

This is key.

True dat!
Why are Christians so susceptible to this stuff I will never understand, maybe you know?

Rather, they are susceptible to the fear of man because they don't read their Holy Bible.

If Christians read their Bibles they would have avoided teachers like Missler, imo.

 

[Mem]

There are certainly "great" men that take wives of whomever they choose even to this day.

Missler was a liar - not by slur but by scriptural definition.

There are certainly "great" men that take wives of whomever they choose even to this day.

Certainly, but "great men" is not what the Gen. 6 episode details.

Great men fallen into the basest of habits.

Rather,

And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose....[which upset God]. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men [gibôr] which were of old [ʿôlām = everlasting, perpetual, ancient, always], men of renown [šēm = famous, infamous]. (Gen. 6:1, 2, 4)
