On Facebook/Meta, L.A. Marzulli posted a video which serves as a perfect example of the astonishing power that pop-Nephilologists have over their un-discerning fans.
A certain Alice McComas commented
WOW! I didn’t know that there were Nephilim in Sodom and Gomorrah. That’s a new one on me. Yes, it’s all about the seed war. I learn from you whenever I find you. (Skywatch, Prophecy Watchers, etc.)
Keep up the good work, L.A. . . . and thank you.
I, True Freethinker, replied
Alice McComas You didn’t know that there were Nephilim in Sodom and Gomorrah because there weren’t: LA sells un-biblical tall-tales to Christians for a living.
Alice McComas
L.A. Marzulli has been studying giants for a long, long time. I think he would know, and I don’t think he would lie.
True Freethinker
For me it’s very simple: LA claimed that there were Nephilim in Sodom and Gomorrah can you verify that there were or ask him whence he got that idea, please?
Alice McComas
Dear True, it’s not all that important to me. If you want to know where he got his info, contact him yourself, okay?
True Freethinker
I know where he got it: he just made it up. Now, rather than being a Berean and double checking his assertions, you merely accepted them, “WOW! I didn’t know that there were Nephilim in Sodom and Gomorrah. That’s a new one on me…I learn from you whenever I find you. . . and thank you.” And after posting on the WORLD WIDE web about and and being asked about it, you ungracefully dismiss me with a, “it’s not all that important to me.”
Alice McComas
That’s because it’s NOT that important to me, and neither is what you believe or think. I’m just trying to mind my own business and live in peace. I’m done. Bye.
True Freethinker
But you’re the one posting on the WORLD WIDE web so if you don’t want people all over the planet reading what you say about something about which you’re not interested and then chancing they might reply to do then a best practice is to not post on the WORLD WIDE web–especially not to support un-biblical tall-tales.
Alice McComas
I wasn’t going to ever reply to you again, as I assumed you were going to keep up your argument. But I’ve changed my mind. I’m just going to tell you this. I don’t comment on Facebook to get into arguments with anyone. I refuse to. I don’t care how much you want me to argue with you about a fact or not, I’m not going to do it. So please take your argument or debate somewhere else or don’t do it at all to anyone. Leave me out of it. I hate it when people want to argue and debate. I come on here to socialize or to learn, and that’s all. Goodbye, please!!!
True Freethinker
Well, if there’s one thing I have learned is that when we seek to sharpen iron with iron, someone tends to get cut. You asserted, I requested your backing, you realized you don’t have any, you got angry.
Shalom!
Alice McComas
Guess what? I’m going to let you have the last word. I don’t like people that argue I think they’re Superior. I’ll just let you go on thinking that. Bye.
Alice McComas followed up by posting again
Changed my mind. I was just trying to remember what started all of your crap. It was all because I was believing what L.A. Marzulli said about Nephalim.
Good grief!!!! Some people just want to argue over anything and everything! You are one of those. I am so done with you, so done. Go ahead and have the last word come I’m fine with that. Done.
True Freethinker
Why do you think that people that argue (as you do) are superior?
Indeed, LA sells the un-biblical tall-tale that Nephilim were very, very tall and lived post-flood but those aren’t biblical teachings—and that’s just naming two of his made up stories.
Shalom!
Alice McComas
People, if True Thinker texts [we weren’t texting, we were on the vid’s comments section] you, don’t answer him. He’ll just keep going on and on arguing with you . . . else on here, but you just won’t leave me alone. Other people should be warned.
True Freethinker
My experience is that encouraging people to rely on censorship based on a poisoning the well fallacy doesn’t work. A best practice is to, instead, familiarize yourself with the issues about which you’re posting on the WORLD WIDE web and also don’t believe someone who says that something that’s not in the Bible is true just because they say so.
Alice McComas
Dear True, it’s so funny that you’re accusing me of arguing when you are the one who started the whole thing. And then you kept it up when I wanted to stop. You are an extreme case of the pot calling the kettle black. You are hypocrite.
I will disagree with you on one thing though, and one thing only. The Bible says that they were Giants before the flood and after. After wondering in the wilderness for 40 years, under Joshua’s leadership, Israel went into the promised Land and had to fight Giants. A good example was David fighting Goliath. (Nephilim are the spirits of dead Giants.). Are you going to say that’s not true too? I am so tired of you. So much more than tired. Please leave me alone from now on.
There’s nothing I can do to help you. I don’t think anybody can. And I know you can’t help me, so don’t even try. Let there be an end of this. It’s sickening.
True Freethinker
FYI: when you just write “Dear True” there’s no way to FB to know that they need to notify me of the comment: I just happened to notice it. So, maybe stop posing comments to me in three subthreads and maintain one line of communication.
As for “you’re accusing me of arguing” actually, you brought up arguing, I merely asked, “Why do you think that people that argue (as you do) are superior?” and you’re also projecting, contradicting and being hypocritical since you’ve been arguing all along: it’s just that I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that—and never did Paul when he confronted Peter.
Actually, “you are the one who started the whole thing” when you merely took the word of it from LA about something that’s not only not biblically told to us: it’s actually impossible. So, why do you believe him?
As for, “kept it up when I wanted to stop”: you could have and still can stop any time so it’s really you who kept it up.
Now you say, “The Bible says that they were Giants before the flood and after” but please quote and cite where it says that since I’m unaware of any version in any langue that states any such thing.
But first, keep in mind that, just like LA, you’re using the vague, generic, subjective, multi-usage and modern English word “giants” without defining it. So, the key questions are:
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?
Now, when you refer to “Giants before the flood” you’re referring to Nephilim but when you’re referring to “Giants…after” you’re referring to Rephaim—with the single exception of one single sentence from an “evil report” by unreliable guys whom God rebuked who just made up a tall-tale (one sentence upon which LA builds his entire Nephilology, his entire “ministry”) so that proves that LA was wrong and you shouldn’t believe him.
See, those key questions are key since without those answers I can’t know what you mean by, “Joshua’s leadership, Israel went into the promised Land and had to fight Giants.”
But when you example Goliath: he was a Repha.
When you assert, “Nephilim are the spirits of dead Giants” I really can’t understand unless you define your terms especially since, again, pre-flood “Giants” were Nephilim.
So, rather than letting your emotions bother you so much when confronted with issues that you brought up but can’t handle discussing, either ignore LA and do your own homework or don’t reply anymore since you’re ruining your witness more and more each time you reply in an ungraceful and worldly manner.
And remember that you are the one who started two new subthreads to take pop-shots at me even while claiming you’re done.
Well, I assume it’s easier to listen to a vid by LA and figure that if thus saith LA then I believe it and, by golly, that settles it—even if there’s no other indication in all of human history that what he merely asserted is a fact.
See my various books here—this includes the one in which I featured LA, Nephilim and Giants as per Pop-Researchers: A Comprehensive Consideration of the claims of I.D.E. Thomas, Chuck Missler, Dante Fortson, Derek Gilbert, Brian Godawa, Patrick Heron, Thomas Horn, Ken Johnson, L.A. Marzulli, Josh Peck, CK Quarterman, Steve Quayle, Rob Skiba, Gary Wayne, Jim Wilhelmsen, et al.
