| Looking
carefully and without a preconceived notion, we see that Jesus said that the angels
"in heaven" DO NOT marry (nor presumably - have sex, reproduce). He did not
state that angels "in general" CAN NOT do so. An unmarried Christian who - like
the angels of God in heaven - wishes to remain obedient to God's will, "does
not" have sex, but not because he or she is physically incapable of doing so.
That angels cannot have sex
would be a fair interpretation of this passage, if this were the only passage in scripture
that came close to dealing with the topic. It is not however, and therefore any
interpretation of this scripture will be in accord with all else that is written. Jude 6 and 2 Peter 2:4-6 clearly indicate that the
sin of these angels was sexual in nature, affirming the hybrid understanding of Genesis 6.
When they
"shape-shift," angels can appear like perfectly normal humans (Heb 13:2). We
know from the Old Testament that they not only appear human, but that they can eat food as
well (Genesis 18:6-8; 19:3. In fact, angels eat when in their "normal" state -
Psalm 78:24-25 tells us that manna is the "food of angels"). There is no reason
to assume that angels do not contain all the physical properties of a normal human being,
when assuming human form. However, they are not human, which goes a long way towards
understanding why their children were "superhuman" (known as the heroes of old,
men of renown, legends, Titans, Giants... depending upon your Bible translation.)
While far-fetched or
disturbing to some, Matthew 22:30 simply does not dogmatically infer that sexual
reproduction is a physical impossibilty for angelic beings. In fact, since Jesus specified
the angels "in heaven," one would have to go beyond what is actually written
(AND ignore what else IS written) to state that angels that ARE NOT in heaven - fallen -
seeking to thwart God's purposes - CAN NOT have sex.
As Jesus said above, "Ye
do err, not knowing the scriptures..." Taken as a whole, the entire body of scripture
indicates otherwise.
Which brings up the
question, WHY would they do so?
"...the sons of
God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful..." Gen 6:2 NIV
Quite simply, "lust"
would be the most obvious and scriptural answer.
However, there are at least
two reasons that are a little more speculative, but quite scriptural as well.
