Scriptural Proof that Angels and Mankind Cannot Marry
There were NO extraterrestrial relations, and 1st Corinthians 15:39,40 proves it...
"All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
This Scripture passage plainly states that men are men, animals are animals, fish are fish, birds are birds, and angels are angels. There is not one Scriptural reference which would even remotely lead us to believe that angels and humans ever had sex. Jesus plainly stated in Mark 12:25 concerning the departed saints... "For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven." I think this Scripture verse is self-explanatory. Carefully notice that Genesis 6:2 states... "and they took them wives of all which they chose." Mark 12:25 says that angels cannot marry; but Genesis 6:2 says that the sons of God married the daughters of men. Clearly there would be a serious contradiction in the Scriptures here IF the sons of God were angels.
The idea that angels had sexual relations with earthly women is preposterous. As one can imagine, such speculation in the Scriptures provides ample opportunity for the heathen world to exploit the Scriptures. Countless books, movies, documentaries, and false religions have exploited such misinterpretations of Genesis 6:1-6. One such exploit is the alleged lost Biblical BOOK OF ENOCH, which teaches that fallen angels had physical intimacy with earthly women that produced offspring 450-feet tall? I don't think so! Without a doubt, the primary claim of the Book of Enoch is that fallen angels had sex with human women and produced 450-feet tall giants upon the earth. This teaching is ridiculous, unscriptural, and has no solid evidence to support it (Biblically or scientifically). This is another good reason why the Book of Enoch should continue to be rejected. It is nonsense.
Further Evidences that Angels and Women DIDN'T Marry
If, as some theologians believe (including the mighty Bible teacher Dr. M.R. DeHaan), angels did have sex with earthly women, then why has it not occurred since Genesis 6:1-6? The Scriptures are not silent on this matter, as we have read in Mark 12:25, for "they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven." The demonic succubus (a female demon) and the incubus (a male demon) are believed by Satanists to have sex with sleeping humans. Of course, this is not a Scriptural teaching. Angels cannot marry, nor be given in marriage.
Also, why didn't God mention any punishment for the angels in Genesis? Genesis 6:7 states... "And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them." "Angels" are NOT mentioned. Surely God would have been very angry with a group of angels that defiled his creation, bringing it to ruin.
In addition, the entire suggestion that God allowed angels, which would have possessed FULL knowledge of divine realities, to tempt mankind is against the plainest teachings of the Scriptures. 1st Corinthians 10:13 states... "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." It would have been extremely UNCOMMON for women to be tempted by angels into marriage, not to mention the fact that the temptation would have been ABOVE THAT YE ARE ABLE.
We do know that there were giants in the Old Testament, as Goliath himself was 9' 6" tall (1st Samuel 17:4); however, as mentioned earlier, Genesis 6:1-6 fails to state directly that the "giants" of those days were the offspring monsters of bizarre extraterrestrial marriages. Carefully notice Genesis 6:4 again... "There were giants in the earth in those days; and ALSO AFTER THAT, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown." "Also" means in addition to. "After that" means later. Clearly, even from reading the Bible at a childlike level, it is obvious that the "giants" were not the same people as the "mighty men which were of old, men of renown."
My mistake I meant to say bloodline. And if you think that they have reproductive organs' you really need to look in the book further.
Lewis:..Brother what did Jesus say' Angels don't marry, plain and simple. Don't you know that when you have sex with a woman or vice versa' that you marry them because you become one flesh. It is marriage without the ceremony, angels do not marry.
Ed come here buddy' yeah you Ed. Lean down here let me whisper in your ear. Why in the name of the father' would God give angels sex organs ? Would you please tell me' I just have to know.
Brother, I don't have all the answers. i am just like you, searching.
Perhaps to go to the bathroom with? We do know that angels can eat and drink for scripture does tell us so. Scripture also speaks of eating in heaven. Is there plumbing in heaven? Are spiritual bodies 100% efficient and need no plumbing? We don't know yet, lol.
Like when God fed people with Moses Angel's food. Also, maybe in Revelation there is a similar happening.
Ed come here buddy' yeah you Ed. Lean down here let me whisper in your ear. Why in the name of the father' would God give angels sex organs ? Would you please tell me' I just have to know.
If one tortures the text enough, he can make it confess to anything he wants, lol. This guy made two big mistakes real quick. During his narrative of the lineages back to Adam, he failed to mention or realize that Adam was not a son of man, but a direct creation of God. Adams posterity were all sons of man. pretty basic. Where was his definition/word study of "sons of God" (bene ha eloim)?
Secondly, men were not commanded to not take wives from the certain lineges until later in the bible, but he neatly applies it to the Genesis account. Thirdly, he fails to realize that the genesis 6:4 verse is a single sentence. See the comma in there, lol. Do you commonly totally switch subjects within the middle of a sentence? His premise and line of reasoning is absolutely flawed. His opinion, and he is certainly entitled to believe what he wants, but it fails to stand up to academic or grammatical scrutiny. Got anything else brother?
Ask him how the sons of God survived the flood?
Maybe he will answer you.
JLB
But if we read the Bible as one book, dictated or written by Jesus, it is quite clear that the angels do not nor can they manifest themselves,
So what does eating when God had them on a particular assignment have to do with it' does that mean that they had sex organs ?6 And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; 7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Jude:6-7
These angels left their domain and manifested themselves in our domain and went after strange flesh.
How much more plain do you need it.
We have seen where angels eat food as men.
Please answer the question I asked you.
How did the sons of God survive the flood, unaffected if they were just men.
How does a son of Adam begat a son of God?

Satan the most powerful of them had to have permission to strike Job. so the ones we are talking about here' also would have had to have permission, to have sex with women. So angels can't do anything unless God allows it or He sends them on a special assignment which would explain them eating food, because there is something in particular that He wants carried out. And also thank you brother Taylor, I see that you know the truth.
I know this is a debate forum but you will need to understand, I gave all my books and references on Apologetics away because among Christians, intentional stupidity will not be nor do I find any instance of it being blessed in the past and I do not need apologetics of the hyper-critical type with a Seeker. You have replied to my teaching post in a manor recognized by me a aggressive, not as teaching.True that. If the Sons of God were only men, then how did they survive the flood. Of course no answer will be given by detractors on this because they could not have or the bible is lying.
See that's the thing about this touchy subject. People who refuse to consider the reality of the text offer no scriptural alternative. They get hurt feelings because the idea attacks their sensibilities of what they learned in Sunday School where they do not teach this far out stuff. And why would they teach it? The establishment would and do go to any lengths to conceal the real truths about God, us, and the earth. Usually these same folks will have no problem believing almost anything else though, like aliens.
I'm curious what is the significance of your denial of this regard?Angels Do Not Have Sex
Back around in the mid 90's I had a little debate with a preacher about Genesis 6:1-4. First of all angels don't have reproductive organs and they don't have blood' sperm has blood. and another thing' if they were good angels they could never do this sin. And bad angels would never be called the sons of God. So why is this lie still around' your guess is as good as mine. This just goes to show you about the wrong doctrine that man will teach you.
