I have been soaking up these videos nonstop for 3 days. I had recently prayed for my thirst for God to return. I have been blessed beyond measure and enlightened. I thank God for you and for bringing me here at just the right time.

[@sandragiani9888]

I am kind of confused about God changing his plans and not his mind. Changing plans doesn't imply changing the idea, the mind?

[@matthewshroba1511]

34:25 this is a man who has sought out the truth in the word to such a great degree and has been anointed to break it down for the rest of us who would not have otherwise so UNDERSTOOD the word of God and his HEART. God bless you Pastor Allen I’ve never been within thousand miles of you and you’ve been one of my greatest teachers I will ever have I think.

[@gregorylawson2437]

I really enjoy how Pastor Allen breaks things down!

[@llamalady8700]

This man is so intelligent, I would love to know what his IQ is. Thank you Heavenly Father for Pastor Allen Nolan ❤️. He is bringing the word of God to so many people!

[@Hoppieg]

This is interesting about Gods meaning of repentance - because it’s also what we should we do when we repent - change our path and course of action,,, THATS GOOD PREACHING PASTOR ALLEN!

[@marvthestarwarsfreak]

I wish I could attend your church

[@alexistera]

I asked God to make my heart more soft to the things that grieve him. (AKA sin) & when you discussed sin and how it affected the world I gained so much clarity on why we should hate sin not just because God said but because it has directly afflicted my life , the life of my loved ones and will afflict my future children & sin is worth our utter hatred ..

[@ikimchi4753]

Now I’d sit through every Sunday for this

[@johnpolion3885]

Amen Allen May God Bless You and all who are dear to You. I am grateful to God for calling You to preach and for my ears to hear You preach

[@KirbyTank]

The last 5 minutes of this has so much meat it could be a whole two sermons. Those in the old testament look forward. We look backwards. Beautifully said. Thank God for calling pastor Allen to teach. I didn't think I could learn anymore from Genesis and I'm so wrong. These are going to be brought into future conversations, discipleships, and discussions.

[@tashawaller4046]

God bless for delivering the truth.and end times revelations.thank you I am really sitting in this soaking it all up.God bless you

So worth watching, if for nothing else than for the teaching about "God repenting". This alone helps so many people! Thanks you! Shalom! God bless.

[@caddiegull4026]

Thank God for pastor Nolan. He seems to be one of a few pastors that are not afraid of what the Bible says; YEC vs OEC, sons of god, Nephilim, Etc. It seems many pastors worship just the Bible, and refuse to interpret it along side science causing many young people to think of Christians as naive. Much of the Bible is allegorical, or metaphorical. It’s not meant to be a science book or a journalistic account of history. In fact Jesus often used parables to describe or answer questions.

Wonderful teaching again. I am sharing. Thank you for being so clear in you explanation

[@joebattista28]

And it grieved God that so many believers choose to use multiple translations or revert to "original Greek and Hebrew" (which do not exist) and thus making themselves the final authority on what the words really are. God gave us a perfect bible, the Authorized King James bible, so there is no need to re-translate His words to fit a certain narrative. The deception is truly great as Satan's versions have inundated the church. Thank God for His mercy and compassion in this age of grace.

Appreciate your work, Pastor Nolan. I’m curious about your thoughts on the studies presented by the late Dr. Michael Heiser, specifically around his book The Unseen Realm in relation to Genesis 6 and hermeneutics.

[@winniecash1654]

Can you give an example? I've read three of his books. I'm wondering what specifically is your question.

Did not God change his mind in the case of the prophecy of the death of Hezekiah?

[@sharonscott4162]

Out of order... These last days God is not changing his plans or actions... All men will perish...Hell has enlarged itself... God found righteous with one Man Noah and his family The rest perish and so will it be on the last day

[@IAmALawyerToo]

Is not the wickedness distinguished from sin? The wickedness being the result of Genesis 6? Noah & his family were not saved bc they were not sinners, but, rather, bc they were not tainted from the incursion? Surely, God never suggested Noah was sinless. Clearly, I’m confused here!

[@socertiesDB9]

Hi Pastor Allen, what sin could we Africans have committed to be this extremely desolated continent?

[@Purplexity-ww8nb]

God changing his plan sort of destroys Calvinism, doesn't it?

[@christendumb9371]

What did the animals and birds and creeping things do to deserve drowning ? And if he was greaved that he created them ..why save 2 of everything (that is imperfect and evil ) to start again? Why not make brand new ones ? It would only have taken 7 days,? Not 400 years it took to build the ark ? And the contamination would be gone ??

[@l-vbordercolliesbryanbaque6237]

They were mixed as well The Bible says in Genesis all flesh was corrupt

[@Neotheaterr]

Your question was technically answered already but the Bible says all flesh was corrupt.

[@christendumb9371]

@@l-vbordercolliesbryanbaque6237 yes I understand..but why take corrupt flesh to procreate more corrupt flesh? When he could have started fresh ..after all it only took him 7 days to create it all in the first place ...he only needed some dust of the earth to make a brand new adam And all animals... So really God is responsible entirely for corrupt flesh ?

[@christendumb9371]

@@l-vbordercolliesbryanbaque6237 then why use corrupt flesh to procreate ?...and not just start all over ..it only takes 7 days and some dust of the earth?

[@katrinarichards8297]

Well they deserve to drown just as much as anyone or thing dies. It took around 100years to build and l would think that the purpose of that would be to give them time to repent, just like we see in Nineveh or Isreal. I mean the whole old testament shows God giving His people a chance to turn back toward the path. And unclean animals doesn't translate to imperfect and evil animals. They just weren't used for sacrifices so they didn't need as many. And to start over would have taken much longer than the 100 years it took to build the ark. But more importantly the story of the flood is one of the most widespread and well-known examples of God's power, and the lengths he went to to ensure the preservation of the Messiah's earthly bloodline. So really He did all these things to ensure our salvation.

[@kazmiller96]

If God is light and love, then why is evil so appealing? This seems like a design flaw. If I built a device that tried to destroy itself rather than seek salvation, I would be a bad inventor. Then if my inventions felt pain and I chose to destroy all but my favored few, I would be a cruel monster. Especially when you foresaw that this would ultimately be the outcome.

[@Neotheaterr]

Well you saw the video, right? To sum it all up, God felt bad because you observed the violence and unrighteousness of mankind. And there’s was only _one_ righteous man on Earth at the time. Well, God told the righteous man, Noah, that he was going to flood Earth due to the unrighteousness. So God commanded Noah to build a boat so he could survive with his family. The Bible has many more details about it than I mentioned. But if anyone wants to blame God for the flood, keep in mind that humankind were the culprit for evil because Adam & Eve were the first to sin. Before Jesus came to Earth, you had to be a non-sinful, righteous man to go to Heaven.

[@winniecash1654]

Sin is appealing because we are fallen sinners. Sin is no longer appealing when a person comes to saving faith. I find no allure and, in fact, hate sin.

[@bobw4941]

I assume Noah and his family were not contaminated with hybrid DNA?

[@christendumb9371]

But it says the nephelim were in the world in those days ..and then after ?? Why flood the earth if they were just going to come back ?

[@l-vbordercolliesbryanbaque6237]

They were scared of God’s wrath and never came back in the same force they did before and they feared being locked in chains of everlasting dark darkness Like the first angels that sinned

[@augierogers84]

How come sons of God(Elohim) means heavenly beings? Or they are just the chidren of Seth who are spritualy preserved(v3) who saw the daughters of Cain(unspirtual ) and became corupted as they are. There is no way spirit beings to mixup with Human kind. as we have evidance demons love the body of humans whic only can be possesed and torment. And Nephlims also means mixed up or duality makes them big and strong.

[@winniecash1654]

Seth's sons having sex with women would produce what? Babies. Not giants. That's how we know the "sons of God" aren't human males. They have to be other than human to achieve non-human offspring.

[@llamalady8700]

Go back and listen to the last two sermons, Pastor Nolan explains this.

[@k9ine999]

What bothers me about this theology is why would God give angels sexual appetites they could not satisfy morally? And could Nephelim be saved?

[@camilla6110]

The Nephilim were not redeemable. They were/are not fully human, and are a corruption of the Father’s Perfect Creation, and they are an abomination to Him, which is why He commanded that full tribes of them be killed.

[@katrinarichards8297]

That's a good question. I would think that them choosing to follow Lucifer opened them up to the temptations of this world. They didn't chose to fall out of lust, lust was a result of them falling. Just like man.

[@winniecash1654]

Nephelim can't be saved. Jesus Christ died to save mankind, and nephelim are not sons of Adam.

[@davidkelly1674]

How can ministering Spirits ( angels) have sex? And why did they stop having sex?
