It's been fine. I basically stayed in my room all day, like I never. I read my New International Bible Dictionary, and I looked up the word "Nephelim," and amazingly, a Nephelim is a giant. Of course, the famous giant is Goliath himself. However, I found this quite amazing, and I laughed in disbelief, but I believe what the Bible says. I guess it just seemed funny. There was a giant king named Og. Look at what Deuteronomy 3:11 says. "(Only Og king of Bashan was left of the remnant of the Rephaites. His bed* was made of iron and was more than thirteen feet long and six feet wide. It is still in Rabbah of the Ammonites.)"
* Or sarcophagus
That amazed me. I mean, a thirteen foot tall person? Oh, and Rephaites are another name for those giants.

Yeah, that is indeed interesting. One theory on how Noah and his sons built the Ark is that they were giants... And actually, as far as I know, the skeleton of an 11-foot tall human human has been found.

Ablazed Yeah, that is indeed interesting. One theory on how Noah and his sons built the Ark is that they were giants... And actually, as far as I know, the skeleton of an 11-foot tall human human has been found. Hm, I never heard about that before. But reading chapter 6 in Genesis, it shows that there were people known as Nephilim, as I mentioned before. Genesis 6:4 "The Nephilim were on the earth in those days - and also afterward - when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown." I guess that's where the theory came from, especially since chapter 6 is about the Flood.

Yes, I think you're right.
Ahhhh, I feel sleepy right now. Candlelight and a warm room heated by something baking in the oven...
