Pretty sure theres less biblical proof for demons being the souls of dead nephilim then there is for them being fallen angels. At that point you're just accepting Jewish tradition over Christian tradition
Genesis 6:1-2; 1 Peter 3:20; 2 Peter 2:4-7; and Jude 6-7 the fallen angels are imprisoned underneath hell called the abyss right now because they sinned. How can those fallen angels who sinned and are trapped in hell by God be demons roaming earth. These angels are not omnipresent at all. The Bible confirms this with the verses above. Giants were absolute evil that loved to sin. Their fathers being angels, their spirits were able to leave their body because they dont have souls, only humans do. Demons love sin just like the giants, thats why they possess us because they miss their physical bodies.
@@eden3688 I’ve think I’ve seen them in the astral projection realm.. not on purpose but after being saved, I got constant “visitations.” It really wore me out.
@@shayalynn astral projection is not a biblical thing to do in fact God would probably look down on it. So you probably encounter these demons more often now as you are saved. You are opening portals as a Christian therefore demons will attack you more commonly and easily. This is spiritual warfare. We fight against evil spirits not humans. That is why we always forgive others because it’s not them but higher demonic influences. We shall only work with the Holy Spirit to give us gifts
So if I'm clear demons or the unbody spirit of the nephelim but falls angels does have body and can't enter to human right? If there are in the second have a ship??
Rest in peace, Dr. Heiser. Here we are in the question of the demonic, though. The problem with this view is that, if we take this position, then the problem arises in (1) WHAT SATAN IS, and (2) WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ANGELS WHO FATHERED THE NEPHILIM. It seems the demonic seems to go back further than the Nephilim.
Neither of those are “problems” the Old Testament never used the word “demon” it used the word “Elohim” for all spirits including dead humans. And as the commenter before said this was answered in Unseen Realm. Would you like a link to some of the lectures on this topic by the late Dr. Heiser?
@@GospelSimplicity I appreciate your response. I decided not to write your channel off and I happened to find your interview with Fr Jeremy Davis.

Find a local Holy Apostolic Catholic Church and inquire about RCIA. The Church and her teachings are approved or rejected based on the system set up by the Church Fathers. God bless.
For me, Michael Heiser laid out a lot of relevant information, but did nothing meaningful with it. Funnily enough, I was introduced to Michael Heiser by a very anti Catholic and anti Orthodox guy, but it was what ended up solidifying my conversion towards the Orthodox Church. It just goes to show that what was meant for evil was turned to good.
Laying out the information is meaningful. Nevermind his podcasts and q and a’s and other deep dives into scripture. Just because he didn’t provide the trappings you desire means he did Nothing meaningful? Smh..

@@ryrocks9487I agree with your assessment. As an EO convert myself I was fascinated to see Stephen DeYoung take a lot of Heiser’s ideas and research and draw connections to the life of the Orthodox Church. DeYoung took that research to the next step that Heiser couldn’t.

Yes but they were made in God’s image. Humans were created by God. Nephilim we’re created by humans and the watchers, angels. Their bodies died but their souls / spirits did not pass away into hades or paradise.
No, the Fallen Angels are different beings. They have a body and can appear as anything. Demons are disembodied souls of Nephilim, they don’t have a body and can possess people and animals.
A fallen angel doesn't need a human body to manifest itself, whereas a demon does because it is a spirit looking for a host to either poses it or to influence it.
@@puertoricanprince7690actually I had an encounter with a fully demonized girl and the demons in her said, in an accusatory manner, that God cast them down. So whatever entities were in control of her claimed that they were thrown out of heaven. And they were very mad about it.
@@andreasm5770 lmao Nephilim is not a Greek word and it is translated as "Peptokotes" in the Septuagint. Literally means "fallen ones" as in the fallen angels.. As does with it's Greek counter part. It is the King James Bible that translates the word as "Giants" and it is the KJV translation that is in fact wrong.
And we already have scientific proof for everything that exists? Why cant they recreate the God particle then or actually explain where we came from with certainty? Scientists cant even do something so basic as cure cancer.

How about demons are fallen angels and souls of Nephilim?
So if I'm clear demons or the unbody spirit of the nephelim but falls angels does have body and can't enter to human right? If there are in the second have a ship??
Psalm 82. Yahweh is mad at the Elohim to who he allotted geographical places on the earth. They ruled unjustly.
Demons are all angels that went against YHWH that were casted out with the devil from their Heavenly Estate.
Spirits of amalgamated folk
IF this is true what happened to the fallen angels? I’m talking about the ones who rebelled.

Weren't the Nephilim human? How can their souls be roaming around earth and not in hades?
In the book of Jubilees God permitted a portion of these spirits to roam on Earth for to inflict troubles to the wicked and bring them to repentance
@@01ombladon I believe the book of Jubilees is not a canonical book

Kyrie eleison
Jubilees & Enoch are noncanonical books of heresy@@apostasiaelegcho5612
Not that surprised. Josephus claimed that demons were disembodied spirits of evil people
This is not the only way demons came about. They are also fallen angels.
No, the Fallen Angels are different beings. They have a body and can appear as anything. Demons are disembodied souls of Nephilim, they don’t have a body and can possess people and animals.
No. Fallen angels and demons are not the same. The book of jubilees explains the difference
A fallen angel doesn't need a human body to manifest itself, whereas a demon does because it is a spirit looking for a host to either poses it or to influence it.

The "Nephilim" were not Giants, and no theologians believe that. The word for "giant" in Hebrew is "Rephaim" Nephil are some sort of lower being.
How does the Greek OT translate Nephilim?
@@catpocalypsenow8090 As "giants"
Well, you're wrong.
Bro a 5 second research, just type it in and see what you get will lead nephilim translated as giants.
@@andreasm5770 lmao Nephilim is not a Greek word and it is translated as "Peptokotes" in the Septuagint.
Literally means "fallen ones" as in the fallen angels.. As does with it's Greek counter part.
It is the King James Bible that translates the word as "Giants" and it is the KJV translation that is in fact wrong.
The 1/3 of stars in Heaven Satan took with him. What did they become? Demons are fallen angels.
There's 3 types of demons... alive nephilim, dead nephilim and fallen angels
Ahh, the Biblical guessing game.
Except there is absolutely zero scientific proof of demons, giants, or any of that ancient nonsense.
And we already have scientific proof for everything that exists? Why cant they recreate the God particle then or actually explain where we came from with certainty? Scientists cant even do something so basic as cure cancer.
