Appreciate your teaching Pastor. Goliath would be considered (strength/height.warrior)as one of them or rather offspring from fallen angels(demons) and human females. 1. Are there still 'them' roaming around in our times? 2. During the middle east war Afghanistan, there were claims of red haired gaint/s saw or encountered by the US army and them. Then there's a possibility of their DNA mixed still roaming around. 3. Devil plays catchup, copycat - wanting offspring 'seeds' and corrupted AND we believers know The Seed. Shalom.

[@Joshgats20]

There are people that believe the Elites of the world are distant descendants of the Nephilum. When Joshua won the battle of Jericho and other battles many of the Nephilum defendants fled to an Island called Sardinia. Those folks became the Phoenicians. They through supernatural intervention invented the alphabet, algebra, money manipulation and the free Masons. The same group of people want to create a new world order, the mark of the beast that can change your DNA and make your soul irredeemable. It’s a conspiracy theory but some of it does make sense.

[@curtprousalis5390]

Let me be very clear. I highly respect this evangelist. I’ve listened and learned a lot. My 50+ years studying Gods word does not support this current teaching which violates scripture and is pure conjecture. The sons of God mentioned is referring to chapter 5, which lists the righteous lineage from Adam to Noah. It is a condemnation of that righteous lineage choosing for themselves daughters of men who would eventually lead these men into all kinds of sin, hence the flood to come. Angels do not have any way of reproduction outside their creation by God Himself. There is no desire of a sexual nature of fallen angels to the daughters of men. They have no “plumbing”. The nature of fallen angels or demons is to seek,kill and destroy any image of God. Not to have children. It’s a total violation of Gods word to say something in scripture that is clearly not true. The New Testament references only refer to the issues that the angels (1/3) fell from Heaven and were banished to the earth as punishment to be reserved for the Lake of Fire. No where in scripture is it found that the now demons have any procreative abilities. Nor do they have human DNA to be corrupted. Please refrain from teaching pure conjecture and not truth. Please don’t fall into the false prophet arena. You have a beautiful ministry. Please don’t bring it to nought. Curtis Prousalis.

[@jalphonso1515]

You're absolutely right. It is a doctrine of demons to preach that angels can procreate.

[@shirleymckeithen9960]

I have always believed angels do not have the abilities to procreate and were male. Where can I find scripture in the Bible that says that. I know many people believe otherwise

[@curtprousalis5390]

Anytime you read in scripture about angels and their ministering to a believer, they are very quick to make sure we as the church do not worship them. They to worship God only. Anything else is demonic. Jesus himself when asked about who a woman would be married to, after having married all the brothers as they one by one passed on. Jesus said she wouldnt be married in heaven but would be like the angels. All throughout scripture all the appear as males. Strong and fierce. Matt. 22: 24-32.

So Mr. Shuttlesworth, if God cleaned the earth of the fallen angels, and He did because we clearly read that, what happened to the Nephilim? Would they not have warped DNA that they then passed down through the generations? Could Goliath have been a Nephilim? Just a thought to ponder.

If all the nephilim was dead during the flood were is nephilim come from when the spy reported to moses that they were nephilim in the land?

[@Joshgats20]

Very good Biblical teaching. Sound doctrine a lot of scripture etc. Here’s another question. Since the fallen angels that bred with woman are chained up in hell. Is it possible the dead spirits from the Nephilum offspring could be demons and in-clean spirits? Also I’d like to see Jonathon teach on this. He has a big pool of young people that need to know the truth on this.

Could the Antichrist come from the genes of the fallen angels.

Hi. Thank God for Jesus Christ his Son who died to save us from sins. 1. If the sons of God are fallen angels in Gen 6, they married to the daughters of men at the time. So why satan the leader of all fallen angels does not do the same thing today? 2. If the bible say that spirit does not have flesh and bone, so the teaching of angels that married to daughters of men is wrong. 3. If JESUS say in Matthew 22:30 "at the resurrection people will neither marry not be given in marry, they will be like angels in heaven", so we need to believe what Jesus say, not what man say.

Could Goliath and his brothers be Nephilim? since they were giants too

Yes. 2 Samuel 21 says the Phillistines were defendants of the Raphium which were sons of the Nephilum. Goliath was a phillistine so Goliath would have been a defendant of the Nephilum.

[@keelybrewer113]

A disobedient son is still a son. A disowned son still actually has a father. So if the fallen angels were cast down, God is still their father although they have been condemned and cast down for their unruly behavior.

[@megaescapetv431]

@@keelybrewer113Thank you for your opinion, but I disagree with you, a disowned child or a disobedient son who refuse to repent from the wrong ways, deceptive life and a lying tongue, and then continue in disobedient works is already given over to a reprobate mind. Jesus said these people are of the devil their father because the devil their father is a liar from the beginning, these fallen angels called the sons of God who are not of God Almighty, because they rebel alongside with the devil the enemy of the Lord Almighty and God's family from the beginning. As many that are led of the Spirit are the sons of God. As many that receive Jesus Christ to them He gave Power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe in His Name. The Sonship of Jesus as Son of God and God the Son, makes us sons of God, His Father is our Father in heaven and His God is our God in heaven. So we are now qualified through Jesus Christ by the Power of the Holy Spirit to be called the Sons and Children of our Father God in heaven.

[@rossdaboss1959]

For salvation, we just need to follow the way they did it in Acts? They were baptized in water for the removal of sins and filled with the Holy Ghost. Here's why! The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. If we are to follow him, we must do the same thing. Death= repentance, Burial = baptism, and resurrection = being filled and rising again from the dead. That's what Acts 2:38 is. We must obey the gospel, 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL of our Lord Jesus Christ... Matthew 7:21-23, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER which is in Heaven. St John 3:3-5, EXCEPT a man, be born of WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter into the kingdom of GOD. We can't come up with our own gospel. Galatians 1:6-9, But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Don't be cursed. One way for all people. Jews, Gentiles, and Samaritans. Our salvation has to match up with the scriptures and no scriptures on the subject can be taken away. Eternity is TOOO long to be WRONG! st, John 5:39, Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. The gospels show what Christ has done on the cross for us. The book of Acts shows us the beginning of Christ's Church and how to enter the Church, obeying Acts 2:38. The letters were written to the Church to show us how to behave now that we are born again into the Church. It's better to walk alone than to walk with a crowd going in the wrong direction. Are we supposed to follow the teachings of the apostles? Acts 2:42, And they continued steadfastly in the apostle's doctrines. Ephesians 2:20, We are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. Don't get Titus 3:5 mixed up with James 2:14-26, about WORKS. One is a WORK of your OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS OR GOOD DEEDS and the other is a WORK OF FAITH OR OBEDIENCE TO GOD. One is letting you know that there are no Works we could have done to make Christ want to die on the cross for us. Romans 5:8, But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. The other is about believing and being obedient to God because you believe. Faith without WORKS OR OBEYING GOD IS DEAD. James 2:14-26. Noah believed and then OBEYED OR WENT TO WORK BUILDING THE ARK. Now that Christ already paid the full price for our salvation we have to attain it by obeying his way to receive it, Acts 2:38! There is no sinner's prayer. Nowhere in the bible in this church age does it state to accept the Lord Jesus as your savior and you are saved. Mark 16:16, he that believes and is baptized shall be saved. FAITH WITHOUT OBEDIENCE TO GOD WILL BE IN VAIN. God bless you!

[@timhaley3459]

To help a sincere person to grasp that at Genesis 6:1-3, "the sons of the true God" were angels that had rebelled against God and left their proper place in the heavenly or spirit realm to have sex relations with women (Jude 6, 7), is that of Job 38:7.(Note: "the true God's" name is Jehovah, Isa 12:2, KJV) Job 38 describes the ' founding of the earth ' (Job 38:4), being transformed from a "bare rock" covered with water (Gen 1:1, 2), to the point in which Jehovah God fashioned it over the course of six "creative" days into a "living home".(Gen 1:3-31; Note: each "creative" day was some 7,000 years long, see Heb 4:1-10 that shows that God's "rest day" or 7th "creative" day [Gen 2:1-3] was still ongoing in Paul's day some 4,000 years after it began) The "sons of God" seen at verse 7 could not be human, for at this point, no material life existed when the ' earth was founded ', but the angelic "sons of God" were there and able to watch as the earth took shape, perhaps it being revealed to them that this would "home" for humans and the rest of material life as its "cornerstone was laid", so that they "began shouting in applause", though they could only imagine how all of this would look when completed.(Note: "Sons of God" at Job 38:7 is the Hebrew beneh´ ’Elo·him´; The Jewish Targum reads, “the bands of angels”; LXX (or Greek Septuagint) reads, “my angels") At Genesis 6:2, these could not be human worshippers of Jehovah, for Genesis 6:5 says that "the sons of the true God" marriage to the daughters of men resulted in whipping up the badness in the earth, in which Noah and his three sons, along with their wives, were the only ones in God’s favor and preserved through the Deluge.(Gen 6:9; 8:15, 16; 1 Pet 3:20) So, here are some questions that can assist in "getting to the bottom": If these “sons of the true God” were merely men, why were their offspring “men of fame”, standing out as way different than other "offspring" ? Also, why mention their marriage to the "daughters of men" as something special ? Marriage and childbearing had been taking place for more than 1,500 years. And when a person understands that the word Nephilim means "Fellers; Those Who Cause [Others] to Fall Down" in death, and that this is from the base Hebrew word naphal that means to "fall", as in cutting down a tree (see 2 Kings 3:19), then the Nephilim were the sons of materialized angels that were "giants" (Gen 6:4, KJV), much stronger than other humans, killing any man who contested them, and whereby the 10 faithless Israelite spies called the "sons of Anak" as "the Nephilim" and said that "in comparison we seemed like grasshoppers".(Num 13:33) To further show that at one time, Jehovah's angels did materialize as humans, is that of Genesis 18, in which it says that "afterward, Jehovah (or Jehovah's representative angel, see Ex 3:1-4) appeared to him (Abraham) among the big trees of Mamʹre while he was sitting at the entrance of the tent during the hottest part of the day. He looked up and saw three men standing some distance from him. When he saw them, he ran from the entrance of the tent to meet them, and he bowed down to the ground."(Gen 18:1, 2; actually the first appearance of Jehovah's angel materializing is in the garden of Eden, see Gen 3:8-13) Then Genesis 18:22 says that "the (other two) men left from there and went toward Sodʹom, but Jehovah (or Jehovah's representative angel) remained with Abraham", and then at Genesis 19:1, it states: "The two angels arrived at Sodʹom by evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodʹom. When Lot saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the earth." And then consider Jude 6, 7, in which Jude wrote that "the angels who did not keep their original position but forsook their own proper dwelling place, he has reserved with eternal bonds in dense darkness for the judgment of the great day. In the SAME MANNER, Sodʹom and Go·morʹrah and the cities around them also gave themselves over to gross sexual immorality and pursued unnatural fleshly desires." Hence, the disobedient angels left their heavenly position to come to the earth, materialize as men, and commit sexual immorality with women, "in the same manner" as did the men of Sodom and Gomorrah, pursuing "unnatural fleshly desires".

[@the-hollywood-dog-says-6072]

The true name of God is Yahweh

[@timhaley3459]

@@the-hollywood-dog-says-6072 In Hebrew, yes, God's name is Yahweh, at least that is just one of the six ways the Hebrew transliterated letters YHWH has been rendered, but is NOT as a translation. Apparently, you are not aware that the four Hebrew letters יהוה (YHWH) have been transliterated in six different ways by Hebrew scholars, as (1) Yahweh at Ex 6:3, (2) Yehowah at Gen 3:14, (3) Yehwih at Gen 15:2, 8, (4) Yehwah at Gen 2:4, 8, (5) Yehowih at Judges 16:28, or even (6) Yahowah, according to professor George Buchanan of Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, D.C., so that even Hebrew scholars are divided as to which is more accurate. But when the Hebrew letters יהוה (YHWH) is translated into English, they are JHVH, so that the name Jehovah is an acceptable rendering. Perhaps you know people with the name Joshua, which is the shortened form of Jehoshua, who was Moses attendant during the 40 year trek through the wilderness.(Ex 24:13) The first three letters of Joshua is the same as the first three letters of Jehovah in Hebrew, and in which the name Joshua means "Jehovah is Salvation", which is also the name of Jesus as the Latinized English form of the Greek I·e·sous´, which corresponds to the Hebrew Ye·shu´a‛ or Yehoh·shu´a‛ (Joshua) and means “Jehovah Is Salvation”. And the name Jerusalem starts with the same Hebrew letter as Jehovah, so that in transliterated Hebrew, it is Yrushalaim. Yet, no one I know of that speaks English calls Jerusalem by its transliterated name Yrushalaim, but rather by its Latinized English name of Jerusalem. Do you call it by its Hebrew transliterated name or Latinized English name ? Or what about the name Joseph, that was the son whom Jacob loved most among his 12 sons ?(Gen 37:3, 4) Are you aware that his name starts with the same Hebrew letter as Jehovah, so that when transliterated, it is spelled as Yoceph. But do call his name by that or by his Latinized English name of Joseph, as at Genesis 30:24, whereby both Joseph and Jehovah are written down ? Or what about the word "Jew(s)" ? Were you aware that it starts with the same first three Hebrew letters as Jehovah, as seen at Esther 2:5 ? In Hebrew transliterated, it is spelled as Yhudiy. Do you call the Hebrew people (or descendants of Abraham) by their Hebrew transliterated name or Latinized English name of "Jew(s)"? Hopefully, you get the point, that the name Jehovah is God's name in English, though not as accurate as it might be, but has been established for some 400 years with the publication of the King James Bible in 1611. Some 80 years previous to this, in the year 1530 C.E., William Tyndale in his Pentateuch (or first five books of the Bible) wrote concerning God's name: "Iehovah is God’s name . . . Moreover, as oft as thou seist LORD in great letters (except there be any error in the printing) it is in Hebrew Iehovah.”(Note: the English letter " J " did not "arrive" in the English language until the latter part of the 16th century, so that " I " transitioned to " J ") And here are some more names in English that starts with the same Hebrew letter(s) as Jehovah - Judah (Gen 46:12, transliterated as Yhudah), Jacob (Gen 35:1, transliterated as Ya ' aqob), Josiah (1 Kings 13:2, transliterated as Yoshiyah), Jeroboam (1 Kings 14:1, transliterated as Yarobam), Jehoshaphat (2 Kings 3:12, transliterated as Yhoshaphat), Jehoram (2 Chron 21:4, transliterated as Yhoram), and the list goes on with Hebrew names that are rendered with a " J " in English (such as Jeremiah [Hebrew transliterated as Yirmyah], Jehoiakim [transliterated as Yhoyaqiym, and means "Jehovah Raises Up"], at Jer 25:1). So, again, hopefully you now understand that certain Bible names are translated into English with the letter " J ", such as God's name of Jehovah, and that we do not speak transliterated Hebrew, that is unless you want to, but few will understand what you are saying, for we speak the English language, not Hebrew transliterated. At Acts 2, when Jehovah poured out his holy spirit on the newly formed Christian congregation, the account says: "At that time devout Jews from every nation under heaven were staying in Jerusalem. So when this sound occurred, a crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in his OWN language. Indeed, they were utterly amazed and said: “See here, all these who are speaking are Gal·i·leʹans, are they not ? How is it, then, that each one of us is hearing his OWN NATIVE language ? Parʹthi·ans, Medes, and Eʹlam·ites, the inhabitants of Mes·o·po·taʹmi·a, Ju·deʹa and Cap·pa·doʹci·a, Ponʹtus and the province of Asia, Phrygʹi·a and Pam·phylʹi·a, Egypt and the regions of Libʹy·a near Cy·reʹne, sojourners from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Creʹtans, and Arabians-we hear them speaking in our languages about the magnificent things of God.”(Acts 2:5-11) Each person there could "hear them speaking in OUR languages about the magnificent things of God", not in a Hebrew transliteration. So, the name Jehovah is well established in English, and stands for now for sincere Bible readers, so that they can carefully follow what Jesus said at John 17:3: "This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God (Jehovah), and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ."

Besides that, it makes no difference what everyone calls God. I just call him Father

@@the-hollywood-dog-says-6072 It is vital that a person call on "the name of Jehovah", and not just "Father". At Romans 10:13, the apostle Paul quoted from Joel 2:32, saying: "For “everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.” (Note: Peter quoted from Joel 2:32 at Acts 2:21) In calling on Jehovah's name, a person has to be exercising faith in him, by carefully do all he says, for Jesus said to Nicodemus: "For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life."(John 3:16) So, a person cannot come to know Jehovah intimately by just using the title "Father", or "Lord", or "God", as Paul shows above, and in which a person must be exercising faith in him by their "works".(Matt 16:27) At Matthew 22, when Jesus was asked what the greatest commandment is, how did he answer ? He said, quoting from Deuteronomy 6:5: "You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment."(Matt 22:37, 38) Jesus showed a person must love, not the "Father", but "Jehovah your God", for what friend calls another friend just by "friend" and not by their personal name ? Relationships are distant when only titles are used, and so if a person wants an intimate relationship with God, they come to know and use his name of Jehovah, when speaking with others or in prayer. For example, what did Abraham say after having fought and saved his nephew Lot (and others) from four confederate kings who had taken Lot by force when they were at war with five other kings ? At Genesis 14:22, 23, Abram (Abraham) tells the king of Sodom: "I raise my hand in an oath to Jehovah the Most High God, Maker of heaven and earth, that I will not take anything that is yours, from a thread to a sandal lace, so that you may not say, ‘I made Aʹbram rich.’ " When talking in prayer to Jehovah about who would be his heir, what did Abraham say ? At Genesis 15:2, 3, the account says: "Sovereign Lord Jehovah, what will you give me, seeing that I continue childless and the one who will inherit my house is a man of Damascus, E·li·eʹzer?” Aʹbram added: “You have given me no offspring, and a member of my household is succeeding me as heir." When David, a well known loyal one in the Bible, in the Psalms, he used the name Jehovah some 500 times, showing that he knew Jehovah so well, and at 2 Samuel 7, after Jehovah had concluded an everlasting covenant with David (through an angelic representative), that through his lineage would come the one who would sit on "David's throne" forever (2 Sam 7:12, 13; Luke 1:31-33), David now said: "Who am I, O Sovereign Lord Jehovah ? And what is my house (or lineage of "sons" that would sit on the throne) that you have brought me this far ? As if this were not enough, O Sovereign Lord Jehovah, you also speak about the house of your servant down to a distant future time; and this is instruction for all mankind, O Sovereign Lord Jehovah. What more can your servant David say to you when you know me so well, O Sovereign Lord Jehovah ? For the sake of your word and in agreement with your heart you have done all these great things and have revealed them to your servant."(2 Sam 7:18-21) Jesus did use the title of "Father" on many occasions, but at John 17:6, he said in prayer to Jehovah: "I have made your name manifest to the men whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have observed your word." So, at Matthew 6:9, Jesus taught his genuine disciples to pray: "You must pray, then, this way, “‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name (of Jehovah) be sanctified." With God's name of Jehovah in the Bible some 7,000 times, some 2,000 times more than "God" and "Lord" combined, this should be self-explanatory that sincere people must call on the name of Jehovah if they want an everlasting future.

Stick with KJV. New translations are corrupted.
