Giants of Afganistan

[Raccoon1010]

Well I haven't really seen any proof from the bible that it talks about giants. Can someone point out any scriptures that talk about giants. And I'm not looking for scriptural symbolism or metaphor regarding men of great stature.

 

[Raccoon1010]

How so?

Marks is a doubter when it comes to the book of Enoch clearly. But I had a vision of God the Father in Heaven and he talked to me and taught me to worship Jesus, he was very kind and loving and it was a very pleasant experience. And the Second Book of Enoch describes the exact imagery I saw regarding the Father.

It contains factual error. And while subjective, it just doesn't read like the Bible. I think it's because it's not a spiritual book.

Much love!

I don't think we can deny Enoch due to supposed factual error when those and contradictions are present in the inspired canon.

Justin Martyr and Irenaeus recognized Enoch as scripture.
Also,Jesus and his Apostle,brother, Jude referenced a teaching in Enoch 1 by way of Jude 1.

Whomever wrote the book of Enoch wrote that the sun rose in the east and descended into the west, where it entered a portal which returned it to the east by way of the north. And they described a similar pattern for the wind, that it would blow across the earth, then enter a portal by which it would return from whence it came, to blow again upon the earth.

Much love!

Psalm 19:1-6
[1](To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.) The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
[2]Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
[3]There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
[4]Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
[5]Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
[6]His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

Ecclesiastes 1:5-6
[5]The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.
[6]The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.

Earth has foundations so that it will not move and is set on pillars
At earth's creation, God laid a circle on the face of the deep and set up it' foundations. Circle and sphere are different words in Hebrew. Heaven is also a circle, meaning it has boundaries.

Psalm 104:5
You who laid the foundations of the earth, So that it should not be moved forever,

1 Samuel 2:8​

He raises up the poor from the dust; he lifts the needy from the ash heap to make them sit with princes and inherit a seat of honor. For the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s, and on them he has set the world.

Psalm 75
We praise you, God,
we praise you, for your Name is near;
people tell of your wonderful deeds.

2 You say, “I choose the appointed time;
it is I who judge with equity.
3 When the earth and all its people quake,
it is I who hold its pillars firm.


Isaiah 40:22
He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.

Job 22:14
Thick clouds cover Him, so that He cannot see, And He walks above the circle of heaven.’
I have been established from everlasting,

Proverbs 8
From the beginning, before there was ever an earth.
24 When there were no depths I was brought forth,
When there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains were settled,
Before the hills, I was brought forth;
26 While as yet He had not made the earth or the [e]fields,
Or the [f]primal dust of the world.
27 When He prepared the heavens, I was there,
When He drew a circle on the face of the deep,
28 When He established the clouds above,
When He strengthened the fountains of the deep,
29 When He assigned to the sea its limit,
So that the waters would not transgress His command,
When He marked out the foundations of the earth,
30 Then I was beside Him as [g]a master craftsman;
And I was daily His delight,
Rejoicing always before Him,
31 Rejoicing in His inhabited world,
And my delight was with the sons of men.

Good stuff, and incredibly important in this day and time to know the truth. Who will we believe? God, or man?.
