Paganism includes half human and half animal, this is what the "Nephlim" promoters would have you believe that another species mates with humans. There is no difference between these pagan half human and half animals. This is all demonic deception.

Bold as a Lion and Gentle as a Dove
Christians must learn to be more bold!!!! We can tell the truth without anger but we must tell the truth. We lose friends when we do this but how can we call someone a friend who hates us because we love God? Just staying!
Ephesians 4:25 "Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another."
There was a question asked once, "am I my brother's keeper?" The answer is simple, we are responsible for our influence over others. If we withhold truth from our neighbor then we are going to be held responsible for not telling the truth to them.
It is a form of lying to ones friend or neighbor when we withhold needed information about God and His Word.
Proverbs 12:22
"Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight."
Ephesians 4:15
"Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,"
It is love to speak the truth and it is not love to withhold it. Don't worry about the delivery, Christ will give us that, just speak and leave the response to God. The response is not our business, it merely reveals the heart of the hearer.
If there is anger that emerges from the truth we have told then we have met the face of an angry person.
Humble and kind people do not rage or become angry even when they are corrected, only people who are angry and prideful do this.
Zechariah 8:16
"These are the things that you shall do: Speak the truth to one another; render in your gates judgments that are true and make for peace;"
It is truth not silence that produces peace . If peace does not come from speaking truth then it is the hearer who is warlike in their spirit and refuses to listen to resolve problems in honesty.
Proverbs 28:13
"Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy."
Ephesians 4:25 "Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another."

Mercy is for Those Who are Repentant
Proverbs 28:13
"Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy."
Mercy is for those who confess their sins! Mercy is not given to those who refuse to confess their sinfulness.
Isaiah 26:9-11 "…9 My soul longs for You in the night; indeed, my spirit seeks You at dawn. For when Your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness. 10 Though grace is shown to the wicked man, he does not learn righteousness. In the land of righteousness he acts unjustly and fails to see the majesty of the LORD. 11 O LORD, Your hand is upraised, but they do not see it. They will see Your zeal for Your people, and be put to shame. The fire set for Your enemies will consume them!…"

Friends Must Love What We Love
Friends must agree with one another on the important matters. Those who attempt to undermine our standards and resolve to follow Christ cannot remain our friends.
1 Corinthians 15:33 " 33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good character.” 34 Sober up as you ought, and stop sinning; for some of you are ignorant of God. I say this to your shame.…"
Proverbs 18:24
"24 A man of too many friends comes to ruin,
But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother."
Proverbs 22:24-25
"24 Do not associate with a man given to anger;
Or go with a hot-tempered man,
25 Or you will learn his ways
And find a snare for yourself."
Galatians 5:22-23 22 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."
Colossians 3:12=14 "
"12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity."
"24 A man of too many friends comes to ruin,
But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother."
"24 Do not associate with a man given to anger;
Or go with a hot-tempered man,
25 Or you will learn his ways
And find a snare for yourself."
It is common for believers to be very careful not to offend their friends. When we cannot express our great love of Christ and the Word of God without anger emerging from our friends then we have ungodly friends.
God is clear in His word that our constant companions must be those who love Him as much as we do. Our friends influence us as much as we influence them. When we have godly friends they will uphold and enhance our desire to walk with Christ more fully. This also applies to family members, we cannot be continually in the company of ungodly angry family members and expect to be able to express our love for God without conflict.
Ungodly friends will keep us in a state of silence and frustration at the continual combativeness that comes from expressing our love for God's word and His principles.
Friends are not just people we hang out with to have a good time. Friends are people who love us deeply, care about our concerns and love our character as well as our resolve to follow Christ. We find out quickly who these people are when we continually seek God for everything.
Ungodly friends will deny the truths of the Bible and walk in angst every day we speak of Christ.
Those who love Christ cannot hold back from speaking about Christ, He is all that is on their mind every day. This devotion to Christ is irritating to those who love this world and despise the truths of Christ.
Ungodly friends do not express the attributes of the born again believer. They do not have the fruit of the Spirit, nor do they have any other character qualities that bless God. They will work against us at every turn to undermine what God is doing in our lives.
"12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity."

The Wise Man and the Fool
A wise person will hear a rebuke and change their behavior, but a fool will rage at a rebuke and become worse than he was before. Perhaps the fools progression is worse because he is so stubborn he sets out to prove himself more powerful. The wise person desires to continue in spiritual growth for holiness.
Just a thought! The point being that the way a person responds to a rebuke very often reveals their character without them even knowing it.
1 Timothy 4:11–16; 5:1–2, 17–22
2 Timothy 3:10–4:4

Evidence of Being Born Again
The fact that we love righteousness and hate sin says that we are born again.
Those who defend sin do not hate it. Those who enable sin do not hate it.
Those who defend sin do not hate it. Those who enable sin do not hate it.
Pride Hates Wisdom
Those who love this world and the idea that they are always right in their own eyes will hate those who speak truth from the Word of God.
Those who love superficial but happy sounding mantras will despise wisdom when it passes their ears. But they are not content just to despise wisdom they must destroy anyone who speaks it.
May we be those who seek wisdom, recognize it when we hear it and continue to grow in holiness because of it.
Proverbs 8:10-11 "…10 Receive my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than pure gold. 11 For wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire compares with her. 12I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence, and I find knowledge and discretion."
