Bible Note: Makarios You say "You write a post that sheds doubt on the fact that angels do not procreate, and you say that I do you an injustice?" Yes you do because whether you want to admit it or not scripture simple does not say Angels do or do not procreate. For you to state emphatically that it does, does both me and you an injustice. This is not a new invention of mine but rather accepted theology in many circles, the fact you disagree is okay but unless you can show scripture that clearly states angels are incapable of procreation you stand on nothing. Consider 2 Peter 2:2-6 Many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned; [3] and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep. [4] For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, reserved for judgment; [5] and did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when He brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly; [6] and if He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction by reducing them to ashes, having made them an example to those who would live ungodly lives thereafter; Notice the context Peter is talking about sexual immorality here and throws in verse 4 talking about the special punishment some angels have already received . Now we know not all the fallen angels aren’t in Tartaros because we understand them to be Satan’s demons. Why are some enchained and others not? EdB |
