Has anyone else heard of Bashan? Supposedly the Giants that were spoke of in the bible, this is one of the places that they built and lived. Do you believe that there were Giants? Supposedly the Giants were offspring of the Fallen Angels mating with human women. But the Citys they built were huge. I was going to add a photo but it has told me that I have reached my photo upload maximum, I only uploded 2 pictures ever, but whatever, if you want to see the pictures then let me know.

This tale is a Jewish "fable". The word for giant in the old testiment in Hebrew actually means "bullies". This word is "nephiylim". This is written about in Genesis chapter 6. This chapter is talking about "sons of God" which are his elect children and "daughters of men" which are the heathen people who worshiped false gods. I hope this was helpful. Agape.

I appreciate your opinion, and understanding that most people don't believe in things they haven't seen - that would be a nice explanation, and I have heard that one many times but, if that is true that would be the ONLY account that God calls humans Sons of God. The only other human called Son of God is Jesus, and he didn't come from man sperm, but from a etheral/spiritual/whatever you want to call it, being, God (depending on your religon). Every other account of him talking about humans we are called sons of man, even the ones that followed God, in the line of Seth. So thats a pretty fragile reasoning to stand on.
If they never unearthed a dinosaur bone, would you say those were just mystical creatures too? You have less proof angels exist than you do giants. Anyways, back to the point, they have unearthed skeletons that were 15+ feet tall, what was Goliath? If you believe in the bible, it does say he was a Giant. It also says that the children of the "sons of men" and human women were, great men of stature, it doesn't say that about anyone else in the bible. Plus if it ment heathen women, then why wouldn't it just say so? Or say, women in the line of Cain, it has pages and pages written on geneology, why not add that if it is truth? When it talks about "scandalus women" in the rest of the bible it makes it VERY clear what they were.
(and whos to say that the rest of the bible isn't just as much as a fable as you think giants are?)
What about The Book of Giants, written by Enoch, or does that not count to you because it wasn't in the bible? There is also nothing about jewish mysticium in the bible, but that doesn't mean it isn't still believed and practiced today.
Yes they were called nephilium, and also annunaka, or "the watchers," as Enoch calls them in his book of Giants, and since their first duty was to watch over and bring guidence to all humans. There are stories about giants in all cultures even the american indians. I am sure all these cultures didn't get together and say "hey thats a good idea, lets make fables about really large men." (but hey thats my opinion), I have so much more to write but my aol is messing up and I can't copy and paste this for later (since I can't past on here) so I will finish it tomorrow.
To be continued...
