Bible Note: 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 |
