Man would have done that with or without the angels. Notice no mention of the angels, only man.
That’s conjecture and speculation really rather than contextual fact.
You don’t find it kind of coincidental that out of the two times nephilim are mentioned in the entire Bible it’s both in a negative context? Out of every chapter in Genesis God picks chapter 6 that deals exclusively with the wickedness on the earth to bring this topic of human angel relationship up? Isn’t it more likely it was included in chapter 6 because of it being included in that wickedness?

That's interesting because when Satan is bound for 1000 years, men still rebel.

Everything God created is either good or very good. He created the sacrificial system, too. But it is no longer applicable. Can sex simply not be applicable in heaven?
are there animals in heaven to sacrifice?

I wish GOD had been more clear on this and other stories. We won't know until we get to heaven. My hope is that there is sex in heaven.

How was He not clear, perhaps you just haven’t found your answers yet.

I get it. I don't believe there will be. But I don't think it will be a problem because I don't believe there will be a desire for it. You are correct that the Bible doesn't specifically say either way. And there's not really anything wrong with desiring something God created for good.

Well yes in the old testament they did this but not taking the whole thing it was more of cutting the tip off.
You might be thinking of circumcision. Castration means spaying/neutering. That is done so one will not reproduce. Often testicles removed. Commonly done with male dogs, cats, and cattle.

Eunuchs are men who may or may not be castrated. Often used to designate men with high-ranking positions who do not marry.


Acts 8:27
“And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,”

1 Corinthians 7:1
“Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.”

1 Corinthians 7:7
“For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.”

1 Corinthians 7:37
“Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.”

If one bother to read the book of Jude those angels are bound and held for judgement.

It has to be a gift from GOD.

So according to some Christians and churches there will be no sex or showing affection in heaven. There will be male and female, but the genitals will not be used. We will eat and drink, so we can taste and feel, but no desire for physical attraction. Even though they have never seen heaven and we are told very little about it. They have already decided what you can and cannot do in heaven.
I'm sure we won't be obsessed with it.

And in heaven being castrated won't matter I don't know if we would have private parts the bible isn't clear on that but was clear about how our bodies would be changed.

Tell me what is your fascination with this? What purpose does it serve? your concerned with the carnal and your looking at it with the carnal. If you got the answer your looking for what do you intend to do with it? how would it further his kingdom? if it doesn't point to him it is a waste
GOD said, it is not good for man to be alone, I will make him a helpmate for him. That was GOD saying...."I GOD alone am not enough for man"

In heaven we will eat, drink, work and have homes. It seems the ONLY thing Christians don't want in heaven is sex.

Jesus came to Earth and went to the cross to deliver you from death and Hell unto eternal life with Him who gave His life for you... and all you can do is drool and drivel on and on about your genitals. Time to wake up and look beyond yourself unto the fields which are white for harvest. Stop worshipping your own pee-pee and start praising the Lord, my brother. Just be glad to be alive, saved, and living under the warm grace and mercy of the Son.

GOD said....."It is not good for man to be alone" Was he wrong? You know more than GOD?
