APL, I did not understand James to be saying you were whacked out.

Really? What is he saying? I guess I need interpretation.

APL, don't bother trying to get citations or references from JSOT; he won't provide any. The voices in his head* are all the authority he needs or will provide.

*His words, not mine.

Maybe it wasn't to you?

JAK I have supplied way more scriptural evidence as you on every subject, yet you do not concede.

APL I wasn't talking to you. Are you the one saying the Nephilim are satan's descendants?

Angels cannot have children. If you look closely at this next quote it proves that angels cannot bear children...

"The Sadducees reasoned that if the body is to be composed of the same particles of matter in its immortal as in its mortal state, then when raised from the dead it must have flesh and blood, and must resume in the eternal world the life interrupted on earth. In that case they concluded that earthly relationships would be resumed, husband and wife would be reunited, marriages consummated, and all things go on the same as before death, the frailties and passions of this life being perpetuated in the life beyond. In answer to their questions, Jesus lifted the veil from the future life. “In the resurrection,” He said, “they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.” He showed that the Sadducees were wrong in their belief. Their premises were false. “Ye do err,” He added, “not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.” He did not charge them, as He had charged the Pharisees, with hypocrisy, but with error of belief. {DA 605.4}


So if you need me to unpack this for you JAK, and Elle, Jesus is saying that we are like the angels in the second life not having sexual relations, which is to say the ANGELS DO NOT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS and He was warning everyone who would believe that garbage that they are like the Sadducees.

Whew!

Angels in obedience having spiritual bodies in heavens, does not marry, however it is a different story for angels that has left their heavenly abode and came on earth manifested as men and disobeyed the Lord's command to not marry. That's why Peter said they had sinned and Jude compares their sins to Sodom and Gomorrah going after 'strange flesh". The Bible is very clear on the issue.

The "sons of God" do not act that way, Elle. Those are the fallen angels, and Genesis does not say that it was the fallen ones, but rather the "sons of God" who married the daughters of Cain. Who are the "sons of God"? They are those who are obedient to God's will.



The above passages are clear about the "sons of God." These are "sons of God" are God's heritage, His "seed." God's children obey Him. Those who do not obey have another heritage. Notice the distinction drawn between these two classes in 1 John 3 (first half quoted below).



According to the Bible, those who sin are children of the devil, and those who are righteous are the children of God. Each one of us has the privilege of choosing our paternity. Either God is our Father or the devil is.

Where does the Bible say that angels received a command to not marry? They don't marry because they aren't physical beings.
Angels (both fallen and unfallen) may assume a human appearance, but they aren't flesh and blood, so they can't procreate.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the world's rulers, of the darkness of this age, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Eph 6:12).

Right on Kland, G.C. and Rosangela. Great textual support, I'm making notes for the future with those.
