1 | Who are the sons of God in Genesis 6:2? | Gen 6:2 | Makarios | 108296 | ||
EdB, "Scripture says they don't give and take in marriage. It says nothing about the ability to or the lack of ability to procreate. They may have a very different way of which we know nothing of. Or they may out of obedience to God not exercise the ability but then that leaves open the possibly for fallen angels to exercise the ability. The fact is we just don't know." That is not true, Ed. I completely disagree with you on this issue. I believe that when Jesus says "For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven", He not only mentions that angels are not given in marriage, but they also do not procreate with each other. I am and always will be against any material that even gives the possibility of angels procreating. I believe that when God made the angels, He made them for a purpose, and that purpose does not include procreation. We cannot place human characteristics on all aspects of the things of heaven, and that includes procreation. The only beings that procreate are those who are upon the earth and restricted to dwelling on the earth. Blessings to you, Makarios |

2 | Who are the sons of God in Genesis 6:2? | Gen 6:2 | kalos | 108305 | ||
"For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven" IF this verse can be interpreted to mean that although angels do not marry, they are still capable of having sexual relations and fathering children, then it would also be true that humans "in the resurrection" are capable of having sexual relations and fathering children. After all, in this verse doesn't Jesus say "they are like angels in heaven"? According to Jesus Himself, what is true of one group is also true of the other. One can't have it both ways. Either BOTH angels and humans (who've been resurrected) can have physical relations that produce children, OR NEITHER angels NOR those humans can procreate. |

Greetings Kalos, I most certainly agree! Now, if angels cannot procreate then, then they would not be able to procreate at any other point. The nature or "being" of angels does not change in Scripture, unless you speak of the fallen angels. Blessings to you, Makarios |
