Nephilim Research Paper

In the Old Testament, the Israelites were seen as people who failed to listen to God’s commandments. Despite knowing beforehand that they would be punished for their disobedience, they still continued to commit sin. God tried to deter their misbehavior by promising them many blessings, but it worked to no avail. Due to the insubordination of the Israelites, He made sure that the promises He made to them would be withheld and that they would face consequences.

The Old Testament clearly displays that the Israelites were the “Chosen” people of God and while there are many events that show destruction of other civilizations, conversion was certainly acceptable to Old Testament thinking. Judaism is not a conversion religion, but it is not opposed to taking in those who will obey the laws of the tradition, and worship Yahweh. The attitude of the Bible is that the Israelites had committed many sins, but would always be forgiven by God. This is evident in Isaiah 4:1 which states, “ Israel needs to be comforted and she will receive more from God” (NIV Isaiah 40:1) While Judaism and the doctrines and texts had many violent moments, there were also peaceful resolutions for many of the stories, and within

The Sioux creation story and the book of Genesis in the Bible both mirror an image of how the world along with human life was created. When forming their creations they were dissimilar in the way they produced water and land. In Genesis God created water by just a spoken word and it would appear. However, the Creating Power would form his creations with objects using his hands to form land from mud the story states “He sang all the while that he shaped the mud in his hands and spread it on the water to make a spot of dry land for himself.” Additionally, he completely covers everything with land by a command and using feathers from an eagle by waving them over the spot he had produced. Both of these stories reveal that in a previous time their God was unpleased with what he had created so he destroyed the world because of the people’s acts of immorality and unruliness. Also, this gives reflection on the role of the natural world being impure, failed and contaminated by sin and only the grace of “God” can save them. When God or the “Creating Power” recreated the world in their effort to maintain order people needed to understand how powerful and almighty they were by being able to create life or to end it.

God has given many commands as we know. In the Bible, God gives His people the Ten Commandments. These are a set of rules to which the People of Israel must live by. One of the questions is, Did God tell them they should do this because he said so or because it is right? One of the examples would be if God comes down and says to go and rage war against every unbeliever and kill everyone who does not believe, we will have to do so and you have no right to say it is wrong because God commanded us to do so and anything that God commands is Law and Good. We’ve seen this real life example in Isis. The radical Islamic group did just that and claimed they were doing everything for Allah. The rest of the world, we saw it as an act of terrorism but In the Koran, they are commanded to kill non-believers. We did not only disagree with it but we knew it was wrong.

Throughout the 150 year history of Bigfoot many concerns have raised, the most in number have been from Native Americans. The Karok Indians tell of an “upslope person”

The animal’s very name came from the size of the footprints it leaves behind. Some tracks have toes that have five toes, but then there other tracks that have two, three, four or even six toes. Not all prints found are footprints. In September 2000, a team of investigators from the Bigfoot Field Research Organization found a Bigfoot body print and also they have got sounds from Bigfoot that sound like grunts, howls, and growls (www.csicop.org). In February, a group of Colorado researchers claimed they found scientific evidence to confirm Bigfoot’s existence. Researcher Dave Paulides says his research group collected hundreds of DNA samples from Bigfoot, mostly from Northern California’s redwoods, and said the creature is a human subspecies.

To understand the passages, we should examine the sentences more closely. “And he told them, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Put your sword on your hip, every one of you! Now go up and down the camp, from gate to gate, and slay your own kinsmen, your friends, and neighbors!” This passage says that God told the people to kill their friends, neighbors, and their own family members. In addition, a footnote says, “Slay you kinsmen: those who were especially

“You shall not pollute the land in which you live, for blood pollutes the land, and no atonement can be made for the land for the blood that is shed in it, except by the blood of the one who shed it. You shall not defile the land in which you live, in the midst of which I dwell, for I the Lord dwell in the midst of the people of Israel.” Numbers 35: 33-34

“It wasn’t until 1958 that the Bigfoot legend really started to kick off in the United States. That year, a man named Gerald Crew found a set of large footprints at a construction site where he worked in California” (Upton). Gerald Crew examined the large footprints and declared the footprints were from a very big species that could have been Bigfoot. “In 1967, the ‘Patterson-Gimli film’ was captured. The film shows a tall, hairy ‘Bigfoot’ walking through the forest” (Upton). This real film of Bigfoot’s existence grabbed the public’s attention about this topic and the person captured real footage of the Bigfoot walking in the forest. “The legend of Bigfoot existed long before the European men arrived in the New World. The Coastal Indians tribes of British Columbia and in particular the Kwakiutls had carved totem poles and face masks which clearly had references to a ‘man-beast’” (Shackley). Even a long time ago, many Indian tribes living in North America have maybe have seen or heard about Bigfoot being alive and living in the woods on North American soil. Also, the man-beast face masks referenced Bigfoot's facial feautre of the

“Quick, go down, for your people that I brought up from Egypt has acted ruinously… My wrath may flare against them, and I will put an end to them and I will make you a great nation.” (Exodus 32:6) God is quick to say that he will destroy all of them, and build his chosen people back up anew, like he has done before. It’s interesting that God uses the phrase ‘your people’, seemingly distancing himself from his own creation, before he destroys it. Moses is quick to come to the aid of the Israelites and explain why they should be spared. Moses explains that to smite down his people, so soon after liberating them from Egypt would just confirm the thoughts of the Egyptians; that the Israelites are not in fact chosen by God, and that their god is a false one. This liberation of his people is what signified to humanity all over that their god is the most powerful. God used an enslaved people to take on the Egyptians, who were an incredibly powerful people; showing how awe inspiring their god is. Moses then goes on to bring up the promise made to Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, “You swore by Yourself… ‘I will multiply your seed like the stars of the heavens, and all this land that I said, I will give to your seed, and they will hold it in estate forever.’” (Exodus 32:13). To destroy their progeny would be to renege on the promise made to them. Moses seems to cater to some

Since I now believe that the Bigfoot are Nephilim, I have decided to scale back my direct and overt research methods. I will now simply hike and explore the wilderness. I consider no need to prove that the Bigfoot exists. In my opinion, the Sasquatch Genome Study has “scientifically” proven their existence. I will still use a back trail camera in case a Bigfoot decides to take a long look at me, but trying to research them in the traditional sense is a waste of time in my opinion. To actively seek the Bigfoot out and attempt to facilitate an encounter is a “fool’s errand.” To be frank, seeking out a close up encounter is a potentially dangerous undertaking. I have decided to enjoy the woods once more, hike, hunt, and camp. If the Bigfoot chooses to approach me and watch, I am prepared. I will no longer chase shadows hoping for a brief grunt, whoop, or a blurry video capture.

Through the years, the recurring debate of one creature’s existence has distinctly proven to stand out amongst many others. At a first glance, the idea of this creature, frequently regarded as bigfoot, seems preposterous and even a tad bit foolish. However, it is not completely absurd to believe that a large, biped humanoid, and ape-like creature is roaming the acreage of America. With substantial evidence provided by numerous credible sources, there is no room for doubt or for a struggle to believe that bigfoot does certainly not only exist, but thrive on earth as well. There have many accounts on the specifications of bigfoots characteristics, however, those do not point towards a reason for ambiguity. Bigfoot can be found in mountains, creeks,

The first question that Lamb raises is if God’s anger in the Old Testament is justifiable. In other words, can God be concerned with Love and still kill people in his anger? Lamb argues that God 's anger, although sometimes extreme is justified and necessary. To prove his point, Lamb uses the story of Uzzah (2 Sam. 6:1-8). In this story, King David recovered the Ark of The Covenant and paraded it throughout Israel in the back of an ox cart. In front of a large crowd of Israelites the Ark became unstable and Uzzah reached out to steady it, because of this God killed Uzzah instantly. At first this seems completely unjustified, it looks as though Uzzah was just protecting the Ark. But, the more we look into God’s motives, the more it makes sense. First, God commanded the Israelites to carry the Ark by two long poles that attach to the side of the Ark, and he was very clear about this. Second, by killing Uzzah in front of all of these people, God sent a message that said his laws shall not be disobeyed. It

Throughout the years of Sasquatch sightings all of them vaguely gave a similar description of what we think we know what the animal looks like today. Sasquatch has very long arms with an ape like face and a flat noise. Its footprints can range between 16-20 in. An adult Sasquatch can be as tall as 11ft while a juvenile Sasquatch is about 7ft tall (Lindemans). They are known to have several inches of reddish brown or black hair with an occasional patch of white or grey hair (“Bigfoot Sasquatch”). Sasquatch is heard to make a distinct hair rising howl or scream (“Animal Planet”). Habitats are normally remote mountains to state wooded parks or swampland but there has been few exceptions where they have been spotted on public highways (“Bigfoot Habitat”). Dr Nina G. Jablonski says, "Apes are big bodied creatures but more importantly they have big brains. In order to supply their brains with energy, they need to eat very nutrient rich foods. How can these animals live in an area with such poor high quality foods”(“HowStuffWorks”). The description of Sasquatch and its habitat is derived from a collaboration of thousands of eyewitness reports from the entire continent, some of astounding length and detail.

Some of the arguments that God would not command destructions of the Canaanites or any other nation because it would portray God as an immoral God. It would portray God as cruel, unmerciful, ruthless, unloving, unforgiving and unjust which is the opposite of what Christians believe and preach to the lost. Christians today tell unsaved people that
