This will answer your questions

(Luke 20:27-40)

Matthew 22:23-33 That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question. 24 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and have children for him. 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother. 26 The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh. 27 Finally, the woman died. 28 Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?” 29 Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. 30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. 31 But about the resurrection of the dead—have you not read what God said to you, 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”

good job, now are we going back to the future?

1Co 11:7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
1Co 11:8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
1Co 11:9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
1Co 11:10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.

Well that's pretty solid, Marty. Not without questioning, but it is as solid an answer I've seen.

The verses you gave noted angels in heaven. What about the angels who and when they appeared on earth? I am not purposely trying to debate you on this, but rather putting forth questions to think about:

1. While Adam in his original creation was never called an angel, he did have such qualities. The Bible never said he has sex with Woman (Eve), but the results do suggest that more than they do suggest he ate an apple.

2. There is Genesis 6. Some suggest the Sons of God were angels, some say they weren't. Clearly, these sons of God lusted after the daughters of men. The result was children of higher statute than mortal men. They were giants and men of renown.

3. Jacob wrestled with an angel. Or did he? Taking a close look at the text, Jacob's opponent is never called and angel (at least not in the Genesis account). He is identified as a man.

What has this to do with sex? Well, nothing. But knowing what the perception is of angels amongst the general public, how would Jacob (a mere mortal) stand up to an angel in a physical fight?
Angels are not human; I agree. But at times the can have human characteristics.

But that is assuming you believe he wrestled an angel and not a man, as the Bible identifies him. In any sense... several scriptures show that angels can appear to the eyes as mere men. They can eat, be famished, need rest, have a gender identity (which is always male). Why would they not have sexual organs in their human state?

4. Mary got pregnant. By whom? Was is the first person in the Godhead or the third? Was it the Father or the Holy Ghost? That's a good question for the Trinitarians here, but that is not our discussion. Matthew 1:18 says the Holy Ghost was the One who left Mary with Child.Now the Holy Ghost isn't an angel, nor does it say there was sexual penetration. But it does say that she was pregnant by the Holy Ghost.

Now then.. what is the reason for sex? It's to produce offspring. It feels great. That is the incentive program God gave us. But the primary reason is to produce offspring. So while I don't believe the HG penetrated Mary, a sexual act did happen. The Holy Ghost probably doesn't need an orgasm, isn't interested in one, and I don't believe anything "physical" happened. Mere spoken word power.

Those, again, are questions and points to consider. Personally, I believe they are capable of having sex. But aside from Adam (considering he may have had angel status) and what happened during Genesis 6 (again, if they were angels, and I believe they were), I do not believe angels have sex. I cannot remember a single angel having a son or daughter aside from Genesis 6 if those sons of God were angels. And frankly, they were never God's angels. They were his Sons, but only because he created them.

In Bible times, angels who appeared to God’s servants in human form were for all intents and purposes “human” in every way.....but not the sort who were born of man. In the case of those who visited Abraham, three angels materialised to bring news of the child that Sarah would bear in her old age. One remained behind who was apparently a spokesman for Yahweh.....the other two went on to Sodom to rescue Lot and his family before the two depraved cities were destroyed. In both instances these angels were offered a meal, which they ate and drank as any other human would have. So if materialised angels can eat and drink material food and liquids, what is to stop them having sex...these were rebel angels in the days of Noah, and since we have no knowledge of the anatomy of these beings, we cannot say that the angels were not capable of having sex and even impregnating human women. The scriptures seem to indicate that they did. Getting married and having children was nothing new in those days, but these “sons of God” were not “sons of men”. (Genesis 6:1-2, 4)

The Nephilim were not “normal” humans...they were gigantic and extremely violent and licentious, causing mayhem on the earth among the population and influencing them in a very bad way. This required God to take drastic action.....the flood achieved two important things....first, it wiped out the Nephilim, who had no right to exist, and secondly, by covering the whole earth with water, it gave the materialised angels no choice by to dematerialise and return to the spirit realm where God dealt with them. There is a reason why no aquatic creatures were on board the ark. Only the land dwelling animals and humans were saved through this catastrophic event. Perhaps there is a certain quality in water that we are not aware of....but the demons were never said to materialize again. They do need material anchors on earth which is why some people have demonic harassment when pre-owned foreign item are introduced into their homes.

So I have no problem seeing the “sons of God” as rebel angels who materialised human form to taste the pleasures of the flesh....and to do it greedily and with force.
Jesus used the conditions of that time to parallel what we would see in this “time of the end”. (Matthew 24:37-39)

Angels have no body!

they are nobody’s!

how can they have sex?
Scientists claim new stars are forming all the time. Since the angels are the stars, and many accept science, they "must multiply" some how.

The bible shows Adam had sex in Genesis 2:24

24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.

and Genesis 4:1-2
Adam made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, “With the help of the Lord I have brought forth a man.” 2 Later she gave birth to his brother Abel.

I believe that the sons of God were the faithful line of Seth who conformed and married the daughters of men the unfaithful life of Cain

I believe that Jacob wrestled with Jesus as Israel meant one who Wrestles with God but he couldn’t defeat Jesus as all Jesus had to do was touch his thigh and Jacob lost the wrestling match

No angels can’t have sex with women they are a different splendour as Paul taught.

If that were true, no literal giants would come from such unions but giants did exist so another explanation is needed. Also, "sons of God" in the OT is always a reference to angels. It's clear that bad angels left their original habitation and came to human women and not long after God sent a flood that killed a lot of people.

Thats not true


Hosea 1:10
Verse Concepts
Yet the number of the sons of Israel
Will be like the sand of the sea,
Which cannot be measured or numbered;
And in the place
Where it is said to them,
“You are not My people,”
It will be said to them,
“You are the sons of the living God.”

Can angels have sex?
OP ^

Angels are males.
Angels are spirits.
Angels were created holy.
Angels were created to serve God and minister to mankind.
Angels were the first “sons” of God.
Angels have freewill.
Angels have great power, even to appear in physical forms/bodies.
Angels first estate is/was heaven.
Angels whose freewill chooses to serve themselves rather than God;
...lose their holy status, lose their first estate, become an enemy of God, and serve man according to their corrupt way.
Humans can Unknowingly be in the presence of, have conversations with, holy or demonic angels.

Yes Angels can have sex with female and or male humans.

The Book of Enoch explains it very well...and if you are skeptical about this book read Jude 1 verse 6 is taken from the Book of Enoch
Jude 1 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
⁶ And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.


¹⁴ And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
¹⁵ To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

Source: 31 Bible verses about Sons Of God

Angels were all created “holy spirits”.
Created “holy spirits” ARE given the status of “sons of God”, Because they were created “holy”.
It is a “status”, because they did not come forth OUT of God, but rather were created BY God.

An angels “Status”, can become “lost”, and not regained.

Jesus “Son of God”, came forth OUT of God.

Human men, come forth out of a female, called “son of man”.
They are not “created holy”.
ManKind was “created and made”...very good.
ManKind fell from his “very good” status.

* ManKind is offered an Order and Way, to have his “goodness” “Restored”, forever, (soul saving) and to become “made” holy, forever,(spirit quickened, ie reborn of Gods Seed), and body changed from corrupt dead, to uncorrupted alive forever.
* Their “status”, becomes “sons of God”, called an adoption, an acceptance, a transformation of by the Grace of God and the Power of Gods...reMAKING....the corrupt, “holy”, in Gods Likeness.

* Some men accept the Offering, Some men do not...
ManKinds freewill choosing.
