Bible Note: Makarios Sir I reread the last paragraph of this post and you do me an injustice. Let me ask what brought that about? I merely asked where New Creature got their facts and suggested alternatives. As for the proof you offer, I have responded to it but let me recap. Matthew 22:30, Mark 12:25; Luke 20:35 These verse say nothing about the ability of angels to procreate or not. They simply say angels don't marry perhaps they are all male. You then quiet definitively said therefore their numbers remain the same. What if God decided to create more angels and didn't tell you? Don't you see you can't make such a statement as fact? Your right is was sheer speculation on my part but so was yours. The you give 4 points why is not possible for them to have sex. Point 2 we have talked about. Point 1,3,4 does not address fallen angels, nor does it address whether angels can procreate or not. Your last paragraph to me is a cheap shot. Many many respected and well thought of theologians consider the possibility the sons of God in Genesis 6:2 could be angels, fallen or otherwise. Your attempt to demean me and that fact by suggestting we change the Bible is uncalled for. If you read my note to the orginal question I offered both possibilities and emphasised the point that who the sons of God were was not of importance. What was important was what followed after. I never suggestted that I thought son of God were angels, I merely was making the point we simply don't know. I'm sorry if that offened you in some way but I don't see where you last paragraph was called for because of it. EdB |
