Gen. 6:1-4 - Disprove: Angels married women and engendered a race of giants. Answer: This scripture does not say that angels married women. It states that the sons of God "took them wives of all which they chose" (verse 2). These sons of God were not angels. The fact is that angels cannot marry - it is impossible for them to marry. Jesus said those in the resurrection "neither marry nor are given in marriage" but are as the angels (Matt. 22:30 and Mark 12:25). Angels cannot cohabitate with women and reproduce sexually. Angels are spirit beings (Heb. 1:14). Women are human beings. Here we have two different kinds. God established a law that each kind produces only after its own kind (Gen. 1:11, 12, 21). This is made clear by the context as well. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
