AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 6:4 There were Nephilim (men of stature, notorious men) on the earth in those days--and also afterward--when the sons of God lived with the daughters of men, and they gave birth to their children. These were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown (great reputation, fame). [Num 13:33] |
Subject: Can angels have human babies? |
Bible Note: Mat 22:30 need not imply that angels are sexless. It says they do not marry. 1. My daughter is 15 and cannot marry according to statutory law. This does not imply she is sexless nor prevent her from getting pregnant. Marriage and procreation are independent. 2. Similarly, the homosexual agenda to redeifine marriage will never change Gods view towards marriage (even if they succeed in this land). If they legitimize same-sex marriages through politics, they will still not be married nor given in marriage in God's eye (marriage has a purpose in God's eye, see #3 below). Therefore a similar restriction on angels would not necessarily prevent them from ACTING as if they were married. 3. The redeemed will be married in heaven, not to each other, but to the Bridegroom (Rev 19:7,9, 21:2, 9). This is not a contradiction to Mat 22; they are mutually compatible. In fact, the whole bible speaks of God's desire to be with/in us for the joy of fellowship (Ge 1:27, Ruth, Song, Hos, Mat parables,Eph 5, Rev 19-21 to name too few). A possible interpretation of scripture speaks about angels fornicating with mankind. I believe it may even be a probable interpretation. It is not ruled out by scripture; but neither is it "ruled in". It is simply a possibility. It is wrong to make doctrine one way or the other. Eternal life is not whether angelic fornication is possible or not, nor whether you believe it or not. Eternal life is knowing the Son (Jo 17:3) and being in Him (1Jo 5:12). Interpreting scripture with any other goal than becoming closer to Jesus is missing the mark. Interesting conjectures, but guard yourself from distractions. LocalSaint |
