I have heard repeatedly in church that angels cannot procreate. That is not true, according to the bible.

"when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown." Genesis 6:4. It had nothing to do with them being fallen angels. They were able to have children.

The problem that people cannot accept is a spirtual being mating with flesh and blood even tho the scriptures are clear. I had the same concern but Psalms 82 is dealing with angels and taling about the angels dying like men. This means the angels took on flesh and blood when they came to earth. They became cursed

I guess its another way of looking at it, where it seems God gave angels reproductive organs and urges/lust/desire and forgot to give them female counterparts? no wonder they had to come down and procreate with all the woman.

God never anywhere addresses angels as sons.

Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them. Job 1:6

When the morning stars sang together And all the sons of God shouted for joy? Job 38:7

I keep hearing Christians say "There is no sex in heaven" I strongly disagree.

John, so many have opined on this subject for millennia... neither side has anything remotely "empirical" in the way of proof/evidence.
The term "Sons of God" is just too vague, IMHO.
It will be whatever God wants it to be... and we will be okay with it either way.

Seth and Cain were both human. There is nothing in there to say that the line of Seth was more holy than the line of Cain. Two human lines do not make giants because of their beliefs.

Saying they are fallen angels and also sons of God, seems to me the equivalent of saying sons of God possessed the man at the tomb for he was possessed by the legion of demons. Just seems contradictory.

Micaiah continued, “Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne with all the multitudes of heaven standing around him on his right and on his left. And the Lord said, ‘Who will entice Ahab into attacking Ramoth Gilead and going to his death there?’
“One suggested this, and another that. Finally, a spirit came forward, stood before the Lord and said, ‘I will entice him.’
“ ‘By what means?’ the Lord asked.
“ ‘I will go out and be a deceiving spirit in the mouths of all his prophets,’ he said.
“ ‘You will succeed in enticing him,’ said the Lord. ‘Go and do it.’

Where is the verse from scripture that allows for something to produce NOT after its kind?

Can Angels reproduce

https://www.gotquestions.org/can-an...sn13FO955QCY_4zY3c5tG4gXTCEYUzem03ZwLtg43dfvg

From Gotquestions.org:
"The Bible never directly says whether angels reproduce, but Jesus touched on a related subject. When asked about human marriage in eternity, Jesus replied, “At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven” (Matthew 22:30). The fact that there is no marriage among angels has led some to believe that angels are “sexless” or genderless. Of course, if angels are genderless, then a safe assumption is that they do not reproduce—but that conclusion cannot be proved from the text. The fact that there is no marriage among angels does not necessarily mean there is no gender and no procreation. Angels do not marry, but we can’t make the leap from “no marriage” to “no gender” or “no reproduction,” however logical such a leap would seem."


Are you, and GotQuestions.org, suggesting that God changes His stance on sex outside of marriage when we get to Heaven?

@JohnB , I have a cousin in Italy who’s single.
You want me to ask her if she’s interested in an American Protestant?

Jesus was clear, marriage is only for this life on earth.

Things reproduce after their own kind. Do you know of a scriptural reference where this has been exempted for angels or do you assume it?
