Nor do I ezra .. i think i was not clear in my post to you... some times we just remember what Jesus said.sorry dont buy into angels having sex with humans..
2Sex is a titillating subject for many and then add angels they have a best seller..
if you want to believe angels having sex with human being and having a child so be it maybe you can arrange something with some one that GABRIEL and some one could hook up get married have kids......
Try it this way ezra
Jud 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
Jud 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Jud 1:8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
Jud 1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
ho hum if you want to live on fantasy island angels having sex with human beings and then having children, if that be the case then all it would take is someone marry a angel have sex get pregnant and have a angelic babySo that's your response, to the scriptures with the context I gave you.
Just sarcasm and personal opinion?
This shows me you have closed your eyes and your heart, to any truth the bible has to say about this subject.
That's not the best way to have a discussion about any bible subject.
What is so sad, is that there are people who actually "like" they way you have responded.
So be it.
God bless you, sir.

straw man? maybe you could match up some of your friends or family with a angel .they get married and have children. the human anatomy functioning has not changed sine GOD created ADAM AND EVE so if angels had sex back then. they can do it today... you hold on to your" theory " it is of no matter to meThis is a strawman, which is why you feel like you're beating your head against the wall.
Not at all...That's quite the theory you have there, John. So are you saying that those words are the words of Jude and Peter and not really the inspired words of God? The words of Jesus?
The Jews held a very high view of scriptures and The Law. So high (due to The Law) they were not allowed to quote it to another unless under the direction of a Levite.
But
They could quote Talmud. The Talmud is a group of stories they made up that would in a backhanded fashion relate principles of life. (Like Aesop's Fables) Talmud had many Characters taken from scriptures...but no sound Biblical basis. They had tales such as What Cain said to Abel to get him into the field. The Assumption of Moses. Elijah's journey and many more.
When I mention the expression "sour grapes" it is a line from Aesop's Fables and is considered common knowledge as to what I am talking about...that something I wanted I claimed wasn't worth going after to begin with.
Peter and Jude being good, Law abiding Jews would be much more comfortable quoting Talmud than any prophecy or other portion of the Tenakh. (Old Testament)
Of course The Book of Enoch is Talmud. Of course Jude and Peter quoted these stories...they were common knowledge of their culture. "May the force be with you" is something from our culture these 2,000 years later.
You got anything other than "You're wrong"?This is an incomplete and inaccurate description of what the Talmud is, and how it's used.
Luke 17:25-30
You got anything other than "You're wrong"?
You are doing a pretty good job. I don’t think like enters into many minds.Ok.
Can you at least review the points I made from the scriptures I posted, and comment where you disagree.
Secondly, the scriptures say they are like the angels "in heaven", which is the abode and domain that these angels did not keep, in which they manifested in the earth, when the had relations with the daughters of men.
For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
Mark 12:25
- but are like angels in heaven.
Jesus answered and said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage. But those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. Luke 20:34-36
Thirdly, I would point out, that it is when we "are counted worthy to attain that age and the resurrection from the dead", that we will be called sons of God, because we are like the angels.
The point being, that day has not yet come, so we who are in Christ, are called sons of God through faith, in which we have the hope of becoming sons of God, through the grace and power of the Spirit.
The final point in this, Galatians says those of us who are in Christ, are neither male nor female.
Obviously, those of us who are in Christ, are still male and female and can still marry and have children, which means that Paul is speaking "spiritually", we are neither male nor female, slave of free, Jew or Gentile.
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28
