Where is it mentioned that angels married women in the bible?

Answer 1

in The Bible

Answer:

It doesn't.

This is a common misconception among many denominations regarding Genesis 6.

"There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when THE SONS OF GOD came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown." (Gen.6:4)

Many people mistake "the sons of God" in this passage to be angels marrying human women. And while the Bible refers to angels in the book of Job as "sons of God" [Job 38:7]; the Bible also refers to MAN in this same term:

"...Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was THE SON OF GOD." (Luke 3:38)

In Genesis... it was Adam and Eve to whom God [the WORD, the Creator of man and the universe, Jesus Christ - John 1:3] said, "...Be fruitful, and multiply..." (Gen.1:28). He didn't say it to angels.

In fact... centuries later, Jesus came in the flesh and said: "...Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the Power of God. For in the Resurrection they [men and women] NEITHER MARRY, nor are given in marriage, but ARE AS THE ANGELS OF GOD IN HEAVEN." (Matt.22:29-30)

God created mankind of TWO SEXES... with physical genitalia to MARRY and to REPRODUCE mankind after themselves CHILDREN; ideally, to be reared in the Righteous ways of God. Which, of course, has seldom happened throughout the history of man.

Angels on the other hand are PHYSICALLY SEXLESS SPIRIT BEINGS.

As Jesus reveals in Matthew 22, above... when men and women attain to the future Resurrection from the dead to face the Judgment, and are "changed" from mortal to the Immortal Children of God [see I Cor.15:51 - "...WE SHALL ALL BE CHANGED..."] from having "mortal" bodies, to having "SPIRIT" ones -- there will be no more "marriage"... no more "having children"... no more "SEX!"

Because "spirit beings" [whether angels or "changed" mankind] are and will be "sexless."

Genesis 6:4 does NOT say that "angels married mortal women" who bore them mortal children. Read it -- it DOESN'T SAY THAT.

It says that "giants" married the women [the daughters of men] just as God commanded Adam and Eve. It seems that the commandment to have sex is the one commandment of God that men got right.

The "giants" in this passage is "Nephilim" -- "...properly, a FELLER, i.e. A BULLY or TYRANT" (Strong's Definitions)

They weren't angels... but "charismatic" MEN. The kind of men who become LEADERS of government... politicians... warriors... celebrities, heroes in society, etc.

They were "MEN of renown." Not "angels."

The "Literal Bible" says: "...men of reputation." "...through the idea of definite and conspicuous position... as a mark or memorial of individuality; by implication HONOR, AUTHORITY, CHARACTER..." (Strong's Definitions)

The Nephilim were merely the ones who stood out in the crowd in those days. The ones the people looked up to for leadership and direction. They "married women"... as God commanded man [the sons of God] to do. This passage is just revealing that these "giants" of society were men of renown: regarded with HONOR, AUTHORITY, LEADERSHIP QUALITIES. And their children followed in their parent's footsteps.

Angels are sexless spirit beings. They don't marry. They don't [and can't] have children. Jesus says so. And in the Kingdom of God... changed mankind will be like the angels. There will be no more reproduction of the species.

The untold billions of children that the generations of mankind has been producing [lived and died] since creation shall "Resurrect" for the Judgment at the Last Day of God's plan and become the Immortal Children of God... just like their Father in heaven; SPIRIT.

"...that which is born of the Spirit IS SPIRIT." (John 3:6)

"God is a Spirit..." (John 4:24). And so are His Children.

God's Spiritual Children are conceived through His Holy Spirit, bearing witness to Faithful men's spirits, that they ARE HIS CHILDREN [see Rom.8:16]... not through physical sex. His angels don't conceive mortal children. They "minister" [assist, aid] to the Father's Children:

"Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of Salvation?" (Heb.1:14)

And the only "children" that Satan and his angels conceive are those men whose "spirits" are rebellious and evil.

"...according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the SPIRIT that now worketh in the CHILDREN OF DISOBEDIENCE..." (Eph.2:2).

This is the "spirit" that has ruled the world of men since Adam and Eve first worshiped and obeyed "that old Serpent" in the Garden ["...called the Devil, and Satan..." - Rev.12:9].

This is the same "spirit of disobedience" that ruled on the earth in the days of these "giants":

"And God saw that the WICKEDNESS OF MAN was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was ONLY EVIL CONTINUALLY." (Gen.6:5)

Angels didn't marry human women in Genesis 6. They have continuously influenced men's hearts and minds [man's spirit] in the non-stop conception and manifestation of evil.
