Topic: What biblical passages mention rock monsters?

Anonymous A started this discussion 12 years ago #36,219

I was told by several people that rock monsters as seen in the 2014 film Noah were actually in biblical text.

I tried Googling "noah biblical passages rock monsters", but it just came up with a bunch of criticism saying they weren't.

Can a bible expert please tell me if they were included in the text and if so, what passages?

@OP
Some people are floating a theory that they were based on the Watchers from the Book of Enoch, which isn't considered canon by Judaism or most of Christianity. The watchers being giant fucking rock monsters is not mentioned in Enoch and was apparently just creative license on the part of the director - or maybe prodding by the studio to pack as much crazy CGI into a summer action movie as possible. Or maybe crack.

Probably a bunch given the whole circumcision thing. Also, some people think that the mention of "feet" is maybe sometimes a euphemism for "penis" in some texts.

Apparently it is a pretty common idea in criticism. I have no idea where or when it started to gain a common acceptance. A web or Google Books search for "feet penis bible" will turn up some passages from serious (and some not so serious) critics that explains the when, where, and why of feet as a euphemism for genitalia in more depth.

Okay, so is it possible God just wanted people to trim their toenails instead of getting circumcised?

That, I believe, is the question of the century.
