Quote from: Rella on Sat Feb 24, 2024 - 07:34:16I just yesterday was reading and looking at this subject...

You are going to have few takers on this as most here... as Amo will tell you... are not holding to Giant ideas... even when they come from the bible.

Your quote of Genesis 6:4
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters...

King  Jimmys translation of giants, where others state Nephelim does not exactly have the same umph...

NAS95 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

For some reason this seems appropriate and we do have those other mentions of giants...

Numbers 13:33
And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

Deuteronomy 2:20,21
(That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims; ...

Deuteronomy 3:11
For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.

But I never related it to Adam until I saw it yesterday and now from you.

And see even Got Questions backs you up.

Good find... and thanks for posting.

Quote from: Texas Conservative on Mon Feb 26, 2024 - 07:45:43The bible makes no mention of the height of Adam.  Being that there were giants doesn't prove the height of Adam.

Without the SOP, a type of Book of Mormon for the SDA's, this discussion would be moot.  You get Eisegesis in these discussions.

Ellen White and other false SDA prophets lay out a belief, and then its adherents search the scriptures to support the lies from their false prophets.  That is eisegesis. 

Exegesis is when you look at the text to interpret the text.  Not the SOP.

TC.... goodmorning.

Do you believe that there ever were giants at sometime in history?

If your answer is no, then what is your belief of what we have read in the Bible regarding the Nephilim.... who David slew... and King Og?

I have read more then enough comments from those here and elsewhere who shrug and say they may have been giants but 8 or 9 feet tall does not a giant make.

My friend who was 4' 9 or 10" tall was married to a man about 6'2" before age has him shrinking ( like me).

When they would stand together he looked like a giant next to her.

So please.... in your opinion... were there or were there not giants?

No law NBA not allowed  .... WHAT? What does this mean?

Quote from: Rella on Wed May 13, 2026 - 14:25:03Let me simplify this. Did Ellen White write a paper on the Nephilim? That is all I want to know before I do a deep dive.

Not that I know of. She addresses the larger size of the antediluvians in some of her writings. I don't know of any works specifically regarding this subject though.

No gospel height requirements--- foolishness

A baseless evangelical myth.

You do not believe in the new glorified body? Or do you not believe it is as garee portrayed?
