Bible Question: We are doing a ICI course and the question came up, if angels are sexless what is the meaning of the sons of God sleeping with humans to create the great men of old |
Bible Answer: Dear Denyse, All prasie and glory and honor to God our Father and to Jesus Christ who gave Himself for our sins! Below is a very good posting by Makarios form 2/20/02 that contains Scripture references. It was an answer to a similar question. (The tallest man in the world had a mother and a father! Even Goliath had a place of origin (Gath) and fathered offspring. In no way are the Nephilim the product of a union between fallen angels and human women. A much better question to ask is: How do you come to the conclusion that fallen angels can procreate with women since demons are described as 'evil SPIRITS' (Matthew 8:16, 12:43-45, Mark 6:7), and angels of ANY order are not given in marriage to each other or to any created thing? (Matthew 22:30, Mark 12:25, Luke 20:35) Demons (or fallen angels) can possess an individual, but they themselves cannot procreate with another individual. Also, if demons (or fallen angels) could ever procreate with women, then how do you justify such an action, since demons are the adversaries of men? (Matthew 12:45) - Makarios) Welcome to the forum! Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |
