Noah

[Khev]

I can't wait to see the scene where all the Engineers drown.

 

[thenammagazine]

so it looks like the Nephilim Giants are in it,but of course,Hollywood's typical distorted lies calling them Watchers

*scratches head* So Noah is an Immortal? Who's playing the Highlander?

Not only that [from Wikipedia]:

Subject to divine visions foretelling the end of the earth, Noah attempts to tell his people to cease their mistreatment of the earth in order to be saved. No one listens to his warnings, and Noah and his family are cast out to fend for themselves in the wilderness. Noah approaches a race of giant six-armed angels known as "Watchers" to rally them to his cause.

No different than Willem Dafoe playing Jesus.

Which just proves his point.

Color me interested. Unless the trailer looks awful I'll go see it for sure.

This does make me think of Bill Cosby though :

Noah (3 skits)
by Bill Cosby

There's fella by the name of Noah
Built an ark
Everybody knows he built an ark.
You see
What Noah do? Well he built an ark
But very few people know about
The conversation that went on between the Lord and Noah
You see Noah was in his rec. room
Sewing away, he was making a few things for the home there.
He was a good carpenter

Whoompa, whoompa, whoompa, whoompa
Noah!
Somebody call?
Whoompa, whoompa, whoompa
Noah!
Who is that?
It's the Lord, Noah
Right!

Where are ja?
What you want? I've been good.
I want you to build an Ark
Right!
Whats an Ark?
Get some wood build it
300 cubits by 80 cubits by 40 cubits
Right!
Whats a cubit?
Lets see a cubit...I used to know what a cubit was
Well don't worry about that Noah
When you get that done
Go out into the world and
Collect all of the animals in the world by twos
Male and female, and put them into the ark
Right!
Who is this really?

What's going on?
How come you want me to do all these weird things?
I'm going to destory the world
Right!
Am I on Candid Camera?

How you gonna do it?
I'm gonna make it rain for a thousand days and drown 'em right out
Right!
Listen to this, you'll save water
Let it rain for 40 days and 40 nights
And wait for the sewers back up
Right!

I just wondering,
What would be the effect of an Ark on the average neighbour?
Now, here's a guy going to work, 7 o'clock in the morning
Noahs next door neighbour and he sees the Ark.
Hey!
You up there!
What you want?
What is this?
It's an Ark
Aha
You wanna get it outta my driveway?
I gotta get to work
Listen, what this thing for anyway?
I can't tell you
Hahahahaha!
Well, I mean can't you give me a little hint?
You wanna a hint?
Yes, please
How long can you tread water?
Hahahah!

'Course Noah had a heck of a job really
He had to go out and collect
All the animals in the world, by two's
Two mosquitoes, male or female
And, uh, he had to keep telling the rabbits
Only two, only two, only two.
So we find Noah pulling up the last two animals
Two hippos and he's really in a hurry to get em up
Because hes afraid that the Lords gonna call him
And ask him to do something else
And his nevers are shot
This is one heck of a job for a man 600 years old

So we find him pulling up the two last hippos
And of course the Lord does call him there
Com'on fat hippos hurry up
Com'on will you please?
Noah!
What? What you want?
Gotta take one of those hippos out
And bring in another one
What for?
'Cause you got two males down there
And you need to bring in a female
I'm not bringin' nothin' in
You change one of em'
Com'on you know I don't work like that.

Well I'm sick and tired of this I've had enough of this stuff
I've been working all day
Working on it for days and days
I'm sick and tired of this
Noah!
Yeah?
How long can you tread water?

Yeah, well I got news for you
I'm sick and tired of this whole mess
The whole neigbourhood's out there laughing at me
They're all having a grand time
At good old old Noah there
I went out there at my best friend Larry
I've been talking to the Lord, Larry
Larry said
Oh, really
Yeah yeah
Lord, Larry, Larry, Lord
You walked off laughing
And I hear 'em all laughing at me
You know I'm the only guy in this neighbourhood with an Ark?
People around here laughing
Picket signs walking up and down
I'm sick and tired of this stuff here
People walking around here
How you doing Tarzan?
How's everything up there?.
Sick and tired of this mess here
You supposed to know all and see all
You let me go out there
And bring in a pregnant elephant
You give me no manual for delivery or nuthin'
Never told me the thing was pregnant
There's good old Naoh waitin' underneath the elephant there
Brrrrroooooooooom
Right on top
Sick and tired of this mess here
Had enough all this stuff
For you runnin' around
You supposed to know all and see all
Like I said before
You let me go out there and do all this stuff here
You never even looked in the bottom of that Ark
Have you looked down there?
No?
Who's gonna clean up that mess down there?
That's me
I tell you I've had enough of this stuff
I tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm letting all these animals out
And I'm gonna burn down this Ark
And I'm going to Florida somewhere
'Cause you haven't done nothin'
I'm sick and tired of all this mess
You foolin' around
And you haven't done nothing!

And you got it rainin'
It's not a shower is it?
Ok Lord me and you right
'Cause I knew it all the time

Which just proves his point.

Meh, Noah was a drunk, so this casting is quite appropriate.

 

[KitFisto]

Hopefully they show the Giants (Genesis 6:4) and that all flesh that was corrupted during that time, which was the reason why God sent the flood to begin with(it wasn't just wickedness and sin that sent the flood),as the Devil's plan was to prevent Christ,the redeemer, from reaching the Cross.Noah,was perfect in his generations,without blemish(did not have the nephilim corrupted genetic bloodline) Genesis 6:9. God took favor in Noah and spared him and his family to start over again...though they (these Giants) appeared again in numbers 13:33

But I highly doubt Hollywood would tell the Biblical truth

 

[Batty]

So according to the Bible, giants are real? Did they ride around on dinosaurs?

 

[teemu]

So according to the Bible, giants are real? Did they ride around on dinosaurs?

Yes!

They were the offspring from the union between Fallen Angels and Women.

Satan thought he could corrupt mankinds bloodline to prevent Jesus Christ (God in Flesh) from reaching the Cross of Calvary.

You cannot defeat the purposeful Will and Sovereignty of God

 

[karamazov80]

Did they ride around on dinosaurs?

Yeah. Don't know if you are into religious-themed television shows, but they made a cartoon based off it.

they werent huge jack and the beanstalk giants they where just like 9feet tall. Just abnormally big.

 

[teemu]

some were much taller than 9 feet for sure.

18 inches is one cubit

Goliath was close to 10 feet

King Og was about 13-14 feet possibly... Deuteronomy 3:11 "For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man."


Number 13:33 ....."And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight."

like grasshoppers in their sight???? so some were definitely much taller than 9 feet ....perhaps 15-25 feet,possibly more...

 

[Batty]

You guys take the Bible literally?

 

[Khev]

That's a tricky thing. I consider myself someone who "takes the Bible literally" but with the recognition that even then there were figures of speech. So on the one hand when it says there's giants I believe there were very large men but when a frightened spy runs back to camp and says he feels like a grasshopper compared to the men he saw I don't take that as the giants literally being in scale to humans as humans are to grasshoppers.

It was just a freaked out dude making a point.

 

[ironwez20]

yes its my religon after all lol. Think what you want but i believe every word

Man, this thread is gonna go down the crapper faster than a turd on a super toilet.

Interesting theory, I've never heard this before. Out of curiosity what's the basis of this? I was of the understanding that the Old Testament and New Testament were two completely different beasts. Is it a common belief that Christ was a part of the framework from the creation rather than the impetus for the New Testament being established?

 

[Khev]

Is it a common belief that Christ was a part of the framework from the creation rather than the impetus for the New Testament being established?

Correct. It is indeed the belief of Christianity that Christ is referenced throughout the Old Testament.
