Bible Note: Greetings Ed, You write a post that sheds doubt on the fact that angels do not procreate, and you say that I do you an injustice? I know that you asked New Creature about his facts, and I am standing up for New Creature in his place, if that need be so. I am ready to go to battle on this issue, and my mind is set. I will not be changing my mind, and I will not 'agree to disagree' either. I believe that you are very clearly in the wrong regarding the nature of angels if you hold that angels procreate. I strongly disagree with you on how you interpret Matthew 22:30, Mark 12:25 and Luke 20:35. But let me also say this to you - that there is no Scripture verse in the entire Bible that would give you any support in leading anyone to believe that angels, at any time or at any event, could procreate. As for what if God decided to create more angels? Well, my friend, you have introduced the speculation by saying those exact words "What If". None of my posts on the subject of Genesis 6:4 have ever (not once) said the words "what if". Therefore, you are clearly dabbling in nothing but speculation. And there is no way for you to prove that my point of view is speculative in any way. In that regard, you must concede, since my view does not violate any portion of Scripture whatsoever. No, Ed. My last paragraph was not a so called "cheap shot." It is the truth, and it drives home my point to you. You say many respected theologians consider the possibility that the sons of God in Gen. 6:2 could be angels? Then perhaps we should change the words to 'angel'. No, I am not attempting to 'demean' you by any means. But I am showing you the error of this understanding, and I am determined to drive home my point. I will not even consider the absurdity that angels are being spoken of in Genesis 6:2. Makarios |
