Are angels genderless?

(Wakka;21674)
I don't see them needing reproductive organs. If all of them are just workers for God. So then, how would the fallen angels have mingled with the daughters of men and brought about the Nephilim.Also, is Shaq considered a Nephilim?
I have many beliefs about this. In essence, God, angels, etc. I feel are all genderless. Think about it, why would they need gender? For starters, God is the Ultimate Being of existence. God has no forms, no boundaries, no limitations. The only way for humans to even mentally grasp such a concept is to picture a Male figure. God intended for us to interpret things this way to make it easier for us. As with angels, they are extensions of God... beings of light and energy. As such they too would have no gender, but we can interpret them that way to make it easier for us. Jesus did have a material aspect to him, so he had that same Divine spark as God but he was a man. He did have a gender.

****Angels are portrayed as Strong Men like Gabriel, and Michael, as oppoed to the "Effeminate," angels often depicted in art, or as if they have no gender. effeminite depictions, and Angels as "Babies," in Art is to bring the supposed sacred feminine and inner child worship out in art. ****Becuase to be Like a Child or a Babe in Childlike devotion and Faith towards God the Father, and Christ Jesus, does not excuse the use of ICONS, which has turned angels into Halmark Card decorations as cute little children as Cherubs.God Bless.Mike

Completely agree with Denver 100%Lovest ye in Christ Yahshua our Lord and Saviour.

No Shaq is not a giant as in the biblical Goliath hes just a big boy1 Samuel 17:4 A champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out of the Philistine camp. He was over nine feet tall.and I agree with Denver here the Angels mated with the daughters of men they ate food,we are made in the image of God and the angels,they always appear as men if they were genderless Gods word would be lying when it says their offspring were giants and Gods word doesnt lie.

How many feet is ONE Cubit?Lovest ye in Christ Yahshua our Lord and Saviour.

Cubit, from the Latin word cubitus, meaning the lower arm, is used to translate the original Biblical Hebrew word pronounced am-mah, which meant the forearm. Based on the length of a man's arm from elbow to finger tips, the cubit is one of the major Biblical Weights and Measures. Although the precise length of the Biblical cubit is unknown today, it's estimated to have been approximately 17½ to 20½ inches, with Scriptural references to both a "common" cubit and a "long" cubit. This is most common explanation

Okay so it varies depending on the size of a person's forearm, since we all aren't the same size at all. Thank you very much dear sister Kriss. :blessyou:Love you so very much from JagLovest ye in Christ Yahshua our Lord and Saviour.

I hear this interpretation a lot, but has it ever occured to you that by "sons of God" the bible means the chosen people of God while "daughters of men" are the rest of men on earth. I know I may sound confusing, but let me expalin. The bible says about Cain: "And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold." "And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch"Who would ever find Cain and kill him and where did he find his wife, if supposedly there were only the Adam family alive on earth? What I mean is there were probably other people scatered on earth, why the bible doesn't mention it eslewhere, God knows. But the best assumption for this verse (Gen 6:2) is that it distinguishes people in a believers-non beleivers condition.Angels could never have a relationship like the one you are saying with humans, because they have the body that we will all get when we go up there, God willing. This body has nothing to do with our flesh, it is holy so it can stand God's presence. It is the body Jesus our Lord transfigured in, in Mat. 17:1 and also the body he appeard in before his apostles and many other people after his resurrection. Yes he could eat and drink. But this body is not made to reproduce, "For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven." - Mat 22:30God bless!

DenverI read the Sin in the garden of eden. If you break down some of the scripture translationit starts to remind me of thr rapture theory. More debate needs to be done on that study. I hope this debate goes on for a while. I really want to listen and ask questions.Crooner

Hi Jonous!I had heard that too regarding the sons of God were just mingling with the daughters of men being the Sons of seth mingling with the daughters of Cain, but it does make me wonder why they did not simply say that?"For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven." - Mat 22:30I had thought of that verse too, but I also read this.Jude 1: 5I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. 6And 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. 7Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.I am more leaning over towards the angels application, but God be willing, when we get to Heaven, we shall know for sure.

I believe that angels are women who took the form of menand those who left their proper dwellings are male."That is why a wife ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels."(1 Corinthians 11:10)" their hair like women's hair, and their teeth like lions' teeth;"(Revelation 9:8)"But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first."(Revelation 2:4)"And this is how I saw the horses in my vision and those who rode them:they wore breastplates the color of fire and of sapphire and of sulfur,and the heads of the horses were like lions' heads, and fire and smoke and sulfurcame out of their mouths." (Revelation 9:17)

Watchers, MT Herman, Genesis,and God made Man in his own WHAT. come on that a no brainer.

Read Gen 6 the sons of god were fallen angles they mated with the daughters of men their off spring were giants. There was a second influx of these fallen angels after the flood also resulting in giants. Here are some verse's you can study this,Also sons of godas you will read in Job had Satan along when going before the lord. Angels often take the form of men.Job 2:1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD this shows these were clearly not men. Gen 6:4 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Num 13:33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, [which come] of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Deu 2:11 Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Deu 2:20 (That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims; --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Deu 3:11 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead [was] a bedstead of iron; [is] it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits [was] the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Deu 3:13 And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, [being] the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Jos 12:4 And the coast of Og king of Bashan, [which was] of the remnant of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Jos 13:12 All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants: for these did Moses smite, and cast them out. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Jos 15:8 And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of the Jebusite; the same [is] Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that [lieth] before the valley of Hinnom westward, which [is] at the end of the valley of the giants northward: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Jos 17:15 And Joshua answered them, If thou [be] a great people, [then] get thee up to the wood [country], and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Jos 18:16 And the border came down to the end of the mountain that [lieth] before the valley of the son of Hinnom, [and] which [is] in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to Enrogel, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Job 2:1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

I don't doubt about Giants' existence, I doubt they were a result of heaven mating with earth. This is not physically possible. Yes "Angels often take the form of men." but that doesn't mean they are physicaly like human, they have human form but their body is different. It is like trying to mix iron with sand. It is not possible. That's my thought on this, yet I cannot insist on this as the verses you mentioned in Job's book indeed show that "sons of God" are the angels.God bless!

(Denver;21680)
They're males, there's not one instant of a child or female angel in the Bible. They are not genderless, they are clearly described as males and given male names. In Genesis 6, they reproduced, so there's your answer.
I agree in that they are not genderless....they are male. My belief is that fact is in this age only. They were able to reproduce in this age, as stated in Genesis 6. But....what were we in the first age and what shall we be in the third age? Matthew 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.So....in the next age there will be no marriage. We will be in a spirit body and it has to be different than the present spirit body of angels as they can now reproduce but will not be able to in the next age. My assumption is that the 3rd age body will be as the 1st age body. What was that?We know the spirit body of the first age had mass, as those of the present age have. We know as there have been found footprints from that previous age. We know they have mass now as they reproduce and eat - manna, angel's food and there are other biblical examples showing angels eating food.My question is about the male/female aspect. I believe that separate males and females are in this age only. Females were created from man (womb-man / woman) in order to have children. That wasn't necessary in the first age....nor will it be in the 3rd age.So....what do the following scriptures tell us?Genesis 1:26 And God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea......27.So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.2:21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;22. And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made He a woman, and brought her unto the man.23.And Adam said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."Was there only one entity and was that one entity both male and female together? Did God separate the female from the male in this age only? Will we be that one entity again.....I believe we will. Another scripture I find that makes me wonder is:Revelation 1:13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.Paps is a "female breast" and it is used as such all other three times it is used in the bible. Is this scripture telling us that our resurrected bodies will be both male and female...one entity, in the next age?........Whirlwind

Nice post whirlwind you have brought up some great scriptures

I realize this is a difficult thing for us to understand in our day and age but whether you believe it or not is not really the issue. It is in fact what scripture says. It is very widely known by most bible scholars there are some great articles about it on this site. Also though not to be taken as scripture the Book of Enoch has some great details about this. The main reason it matters to us today other than the obvious of understanding scripture. Is that we are told they will come again and it will be like the days of Noah. How was it in Noah's day? They were giving and taking in marriage .To Whom? the sons of god (the fallen angels)Something every christian needs to be aware of to prepare for the great delusion that will come upon the earth in the end times. When Satan and his fallen ones get kicked to earth (Rev,) And yes everyone will be here.
