THe angels never had sex with women - they never TOOK WIVES on earth (married nor given in marriage, nor dwelt with).
They are not "the same kind", and as

God says every kind (that can reproduce) reproduces after IT'S OWN KIND.

The myth of angels having sex with women started in babylon or catholicism, centuries ago, to deceive people,
and it has deceived billions.

But we will be like angels in Heaven. Mark 12:25 ;)

Ick! What exactly is platonic kissing? Sounds like those fake hugs you get in church sometimes that kinda make you wanna wipe the feeling off whenever you can get far enough away, Lol.

I understand your point, Pearl, and I know you don't mean it quite like that. But if I think someone were to offer me a "platonic kiss" I'd dodge and put this fella in my place instead:
Platonic kissing is when you are expressing love, and that's all.

Have you loved others so much that when you see them you give a kiss of love without even thinking about it? Some guy's hairy neck?

If not, you have a treat in store!

I'm not joking.

Can you truly not imagine a love that is so far above what we know here, that the love we know here never again comes into mind? To me, this question is like saying, well, when I change from a cat to a man, will I still get to be in heat?

I realize that's not what you are saying, it's just how it strikes me.

Much love!

There are four kinds of love: Familial between members of families, platonic between friends, erotic which is sexual or romantic between lovers and agape love which is God's love. So if love remains in heaven I can't see that erotic love would be one of the forms it would take.

Hey, sister. Thanks for responding. Just getting back to the forum.

Let me explain something that puts me to thought on this subject. My personality is such that in order to feel truly cared for I need to feel as though I am truly needed. This presents something of a dilemma when thinking about God's love for us, unless you think of God in terms of needing us, and truly needing our love. Personally I think He does, but some would say that's sacrilegde. But my point is, I would always love Him. I've given my life for Him. But when I think of being fulfilled in the sense of someone truly needing me, it is more natural for me to think in terms of another person than the Lord Himself, though I do believe He actually does need our love rather than it just wanting it.

Does that make any sense?

It does make sense. I figured my answer wouldn’t do, but I gave it a shot. It’s impossible for me to put into words how I experience the love of God. All I can say is that it’s like no other love, and in heaven we will know and love Him fully and intimately as He knows and loves us.

Yes I did. ALL of ALL of Bereshit, Genesis, and ALL SCRIPTURE is truth.

What you posted about it is false.

Now your saying all scripture is truth after u said that most of Genesis is false so i have no idea what ur on about

What i posted was this quote from Genesis 6:1-4
When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”

The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—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.

Your disagreement is with the Word. I am simply quoting the Word

Thats what i though too, we wouldn't have that innate drive for sexual pleasure which drives the procreation of humans on earth.
But after thinking about Genesis 6 i tend to think now that its more probable seeing that the sons of God can procreate

quote me.
(you either have me mixed up with another poster, or you are not telling the truth)
True - though - from all of your posts and who you trust accordingly, you have no idea of truth...

Do u believe in the Nephilim? If not then u don't believe the Word

see - right on time - another error from you. (if you mean angels can procreate a way they were not made to, with someone not of their kind, contrary to what God says , by mis-interpreting sons of God to mean angels and women had babies, which is worse than a fable and is contrary to all God's Word and all God's Plan and all God's Purpose) .

Ok now your making some sense at least.
Who are the "sons of God"?
The widely held interpretation is that their angels. But are they?

@Joseph77
If u read my first post then you should know that my conclusion was uncertain and inconclusive.
So what exactly are you disagreeing about???

@Cristo Rei and @Joseph77 ....at this point your discussion is no longer about the Topic of the thread. Now I am not going to take action unless the OP complains since it is his thread. But I am going to ask you both to leave this thread with your discussion or get back on topic.
Thanks for understanding
