What are the Nephilim? Part 3
June 13th, 2025
It is time to answer the third and final portion of question, what relevance do the Nephilim have in Scripture and in our lives today? We have identified who and what the Nephilim were. They were a race of giants, the offspring of fallen angels and the daughters of men (Genesis 6:1 - 4). During the conquest of Canaan, their clans are identified as Rephaim, Anakim, Emim, Zamzummin and the Ammori...

Our question this week comes in 2 parts: Were there other human beings outside of the garden of Eden? How did Eve’s sons find wives? For our answer, let’s go directly to the narrative of Genesis 4. After Cain murdered his brother Abel, he received just punishment from the Lord. It appears in verse 14 that he is afraid someone will hear of what he did and kill him for it. One wonders, who exa...
The Names of God - Part II
May 16th, 2025
Once again, what are all the names of God? Why are there so many different names for God? Why do most of our new translations not keep the different names?

In so doing, He wants to be known personally and intimately. ...
