Bible Note: Greetings EdB, No, Angels do not procreate. Matthew 22:30, Mark 12:25; Luke 20:35 Therefore, their number remains the same. "And if it does how do you know new ones aren't created (born or otherwise) to replace the ones that might die or become fallen angels?" This is sheer speculation on your part, and Scripture does not even begin to mention such a possibility. "Why is (it) impossible for them to have sexual relations with humans?" 1) Their nature is different. (Eph. 3:10; Col. 1:16) 2) They do not marry. (Matt. 22:30; Mark 12:25; Luke 20:35) 3) Angels worship God (Neh. 9:6; Phil. 2:9-11; Heb. 1:6) 4) Angels obey God (Ps. 103:20; Matt. 6:10; Luke 11:2; 1 Peter 3:22; 2 Peter 2:11; Jude 6) We base these beliefs on the Bible. Or, perhaps you feel that "sons of God", which is a phrase that every Bible version since the Vulgate includes, should be changed to the single word "angels" instead? Makarios |
