I'm unsure why you jumped from the specific and ancient Hebrew word "Nephilim" to the vague, generic, subjective, multi-usage and modern English word “giants.” But that begs these key questions: What’s the usage of the vague, generic, subjective, multi-usage and modern English word “giants” in English Bibles? What’s your usage of the vague, generic, subjective, multi-usage and modern English word “giants”? Do those two usages agree?
Where the word says that he came to seek and to save that which was lost. It refers to God's children. Because when he spoke to the pharisees, he said. You do not hear my word because you are not my sheep. So they wouldn't believe because they were not his, only his children will believe
Great video, but why to you put such ridiculously "giant" images on your click bait image when the giants of the were very tall, but not outrageously huge . Its comical.
Jon, I have truly tried to be fair to these videos on the supernatural. I’ve watched almost all of them now in order to be fair with my comments. I am disturbed about the emphasis you give this topic. In your Baptist world that claims to be “reformed,” there are many new to the Reformed faith simply trying to understand what Reformed Theology means means. They are coming from dispensational pre-millennialism - charismania - fundamentalism - and so many other evangelical backgrounds. And the first thing you want to do is to confuse them with sensationalism and hype? hat should you be focusing on? Preaching Christ and Him crucified. You should be giving them the sound doctrine of Covenant Theology. Though the baptist view of CT is insufficient, it is still beneficial to newbies in our world rather than the sensationalism you are teaching, being misled by Van Dorn. After all, these ex-evangelicals are going to hit your world first. Baptists reign in America. They won’t look at NAPARC churches because they don’t even know what we are. You are their steppingstone into Reformed Theology and all you can do is push hype, sensationalism, and speculation? In the videos, it is clear from both you and Van Dorn that you believe you have the answers for the spiritual realm. You speak with confidence but lacking sound knowledge. Your name and claim it use of outside scripture goes too far, pushing eisegesis. For instance, on my own, I have thought of 2 other possibilities for giants. 1) Genetics. I’ve actually studied my own genetics and understand SNPs and how they are passed down. If we know that our world was also tainted by Original Sin, there is every possibility that a genetic SNP could create “a giant.” 2) What if - just what if - the Vikings came earlier to the Middle East than we know at this time? They were pagan and tall. Their Norse gods were mighty in earlier generations, just as Egyptian, Greek and Roman gods tainted Christianity. Both of thes ponderances seem appropriate for a Sethite view, with which Augustine would agree. Rather, you have chosen to ignore other passages. There is no mention of giants here: “You have transgressed and have taken pagan wives, adding to the guilt of Israel. Now therefore, make confession to the Lᴏʀᴅ God of your fathers, and do His will; separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the pagan wives.” Then all the assembly answered and said with a loud voice, “Yes! As you have said, so we must do. Let all those in our cities who have taken pagan wives come at appointed times, together with the elders and judges of their cities, until the fierce wrath of our God is turned away from us in this matter” (Ezra 10:10-12, 14). Surely, using your zeal, God should have mentioned the existence of the Nephilim here……..but he didn’t, because it is not important. The sensationalism of what Van Dorn has put into your mind, Jon, not only hurts your church but the GRN. You may become guilty of spreading this to the few churches who are a part of this fledgling group - only to find out that you may have to repent of what you have been teaching. This is why the true Reformed churches cling to Deut. 29:29. You are speculating, Jon (and Van Dorn). Stop. You’ve got old ladies in your congregations who might be encouraged to find someone to help her talk with her dead, late husband. For sure, you will have people in Boulder, CO moving into realms they should not explore. Sadly, my own daughter has taken this path - she went to school in Boulder for college. I know that town. Van Dorn is taking the hype of Boulder and inserting it into places he should leave along……and using eisegesis in the process. You both talk like, “This is it! We know this is it - this is how the spiritual world operates! You get all excited and giggly about the “supernatural.” You desire to know more than what God has desired wise for us. You take an evangelical people group who have already been confused by theology by decades, and you confuse them further. It is no wonder that paganism influenced the early Jews - they lived in Egypt, where “gods” thrived. They were rebellious in their own right. They lived in Babylon, where “other gods” thrived. Moses and Aaron talked a lot about the horrible influences of these things and they were told to AVOID these things. But you don’t avoid them - you flock to them. “ For you to admit that you are teaching these speculative things in classes for your congregants is truly troubling. For you to follow Van Dorn who enjoys making money off of his sensationalistic books, is not wise. What does scripture say about this? 1 Timothy 1:3-7 [3] As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine, [4] nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God that is by faith. [5] The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. [6] Certain persons, by swerving from these, have wandered away into vain discussion, [7] desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions. (ESV) *****You have been teaching myths, endless genealogies - promoting speculation. You have swerved from the stewardship that God placed in you, wandering into vain discussions.******* There is no excuse for this. Baptists trying to enter the Reformed world are easily misled. They do not have the sound foundation they need in the Reformed faith yet. This is why I must agree with Dr. Clark - you are not Reformed. You are Baptist. You bring your Baptist culture into a beautiful theological world that I treasure. You mislead others, just as I was misled before I left the SBC to enter a NAPARC church, where I DID LEARN sound theology. God, in heaven, is the one who reveals mysteries. Not the book Van Dorn treasures, nor his own books. God has already revealed to us that which we need to know. Needs to know - not wants to know. My heart mourns that you are in a wonderful position to teach truth to confused evangelicals, then you give them rabbit trails. Many in your congregation will be thrilled and continue reading this stuff on their own, to the negligence of sound theology and proper scripture. How do I know this? Been there - done that. It is not helpful. You are pastors. You are called to a higher calling. You are neglecting that calling when you fill the minds of your congregants with sensationalism, hype and mysticism. You have no true and tried evidence for the things you are trying to share with theologically-deficient folk. You use parts of the Bible and ignore other parts with its warnings. Your curiosity has gotten out of hand. You have taken from the Reformed the one thing that matters in our world: REST, PEACE, CONFIDENCE in our salvation. You are creating a restless people who will speak to others and create other restless people. I love my Reformed faith - not your kind, but the historic, confessional Reformed kind - it’s full of substance - not hype - not sensationalism. You have stepped into the world of Chuck Missler - mixing dispensational thinking into the Reformed faith. That never ends well. Angels DO NOT MARRY. Augustine argued for a Sethite view and he is much closer to the time than you are. You wallow in speculation but are teaching it as truth. With the genetic theory I proposed? THEORY. It is very plausible that a tall person was created by genetic SNPs which were then passed down to later generations, even after the flood. THEORIES. I hope you will be challenged by my rebuke. It is a rebuke out of love, I promise. It is a rebuke from someone who has been hurt by this kind of thing. Honestly? You need to remove the word “reformed” from your position, because you ignore the historicity of the church in these matters - and that is important in true Reformed churches. Your churches have no real accountability because independent men create them, and then form congregational rule, which includes people who know nothing about sound theology. The whole system is flawed - as is the twizzled baptistic view of Covenant Theology - done in order to suit your tradition. Traditions can be idols, can’t they? Do I sound angry? You betcha. I was hurt by this kind of thing. I know many others who have been hurt by this kind of thing. Do you, with all honestly, want your congregation to be hurt in this way? I guarantee this will come back to bite you. Be wise. Be wiser than serpents. Teach the beauty of reformed theology through the covenant of the Trinity - so that your congregants will never even have to worry about speculative things ever again.
Can you help me understand, if God destroyed the world with a flood because of the evil of this mixed race of angels and women, are we wrong to say we are born totally depraved? If Noah was pure was he totally depraved at the Sametime? This has gospel implications.
No obligation for salvation? Mmh, that's Pauline gospel. James 2:14-26 NKJV - Faith Without Works Is Dead. And, no the law was not abolished on the cross as Paul says. Isaiah 40:8 "The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever." Matthew 5:18 "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." Pauline gospel is opposite to Jesus word. Jesus is the sole teacher, and he says you have to do works to be saved, no free tickets to Heaven, sorry. It is anti-scriptural to teach that

Humans are still born depraved, but that is different from being a half angel and half human hybrid.
Noah's Gene's were pure (not corrupt by fallen angels)
