Female Angels

...When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God....he created them both...When Adam...became the father of a son in his own likeness, after his image...Gen 5.1-3

God created man (men) that looks like my neighbor.
Adam had a son that looks like my neighbor.

If I look like my neighbor, and my neighbor looks like God, then I can only assume God looks like me.

What is the big problem with this ????

The big problem is that makes God a MAN.

So, my next question is : Under what scenario can a day seem like a thousand years and a thousand years seem like a day? (the abscance of gravity...would be the correct answer)

Boogyman and Santa are not real people.

God and Heaven....hehehe.

God is a MAN !
Heaven is Space.
Not some invisible fantasy land where there are rivers of chocolate.

Specifically it says the "Sons of God" came in unto the "daughters of man." I mean.. I don't know how else they were supposed to break this down in the Bible.. Son and daughter, ok obviously that's man and woman. The Bible talks about angels and like someone said, they were all men. (Personally I believe all angels are.) Um, but more to the point, the "Sons of God" mentioned in Genesis and so on were fallen angels. They had saw a human females beauty and lusted after her causing them to "fall from grace." This mating spawned off the Nephilim or "Giants." God saw this as wicked and flooded the earth but evil was already in the world, evil was in mans heart or something along those lines.

Vojvoda - I don't know if it's the same 1/3 he's talking about. When Lucifer was cast out of Heaven he swiped his tail and took 1/3 of the angels with him. But in the sumerian texts or maybe even enoch where they mention the number 200.. I'd have to recheck but.. I can post more when I get off work at 6, haha. Later!

I would think even a high-school level understanding of genetics and heredity would reveal the entire concept of angels mating with humans to produce giants as bogus and ludicrous. Throw bible verses back and forth as much as you want, it doesn't change the fact that the reality of genetics would have prohibited such stories as being true. Even if you assume that angels and man are the same species, you don't cross breed the two to produce giants. It's about as dumb as saying you can breed an African man with an Asian woman to reliably produce midgets.

Maybe we just haven't heard about the female angels because they have no reason to involve themselves in our issues.

Or maybe it's because the value of a woman as defined in the OT as basically being property, being only of slightly higher value than that of cattle. There's no place in biblical society for female angels, because they would be worthless compared to male angels.

Well, I think when they refer to mating.
They don't mean "sex".
They mean on a genetic level.
This is where religion and the other closed minded people start to mess things up.
Don't you find it strange, that they call it "mating"?

The scriptures are borrowed, and plaguerized from a variety of different cultures, many much older. In this case, what is being depicted is various groups of ets, each with differing opinions as to what plans should occur for the planet, and the offspring are actually inter-species offspring or hybrids, human to et. The book of enoch depicts a war between groups of ets, some with the idea of progressing mankind into the future, and possibly the cosmos, some wishing to keep us dumbed down tools, possibly a slave race, possibly as a genetic dna harvesting garden. The wrong guys won that one, and another reset button was pushed and what was depicted was a massive flood and depopulation of the human race.

What we don't want to see happen again is another one.

edit to add: no one knows what an angel is actually, and the scriptures don't explain them, most of what is written doesn't even mean what Christian Churches have been teaching for centuries. Modern Church concepts of angels were decided upon during the last 1000 years, previous to that many differing ideas existed. Therefore ideas of angels as sexless or otherwise are merely speculations and only true for those who do not believe in God as both male and female and a couple, like gnostics teach. To me, they are proxies of God.

Even if on the genetic level, they wouldn't be able to produce viable offspring. At best, they might be able to take a few compatible genes and transplant them - but then, that wouldn't really be offspring - or anything even close to "mating". That would just be genetic modification. It would be far easier, not to cross breed, but to modify the parent DNA strain exclusively to produce the traits you want - rather than to take the steps necessary to ensure compatibility of two very different and variable genetic structures AND express the traits you desire.

yeah they'll give ya sex if you ask, but im sure ther' not fond of playing with your junk ehhe, use the time rather to be healed, and put past these filthy things

Tesla, your quote brings to light the key issue: "sons of God" typically refers to angels in the Old Testament. You may be right, certainly your view has alot of support from early rabbinical and christian sources. Personally, I'm not against the idea it just doesn't make sense to me.

Especially when I read things like "...they (isrealites) will be called sons of the Living God." Hosea 1:10.

Who can be called sons of God? I submit that anyone who follows God can be called a son of God, including angels.

But looking at the passage in question, it uses the term marriage. Now I'm not a scholar, I don't know what the original hebrew is or anything but marriage is what two humans do. The notion has deep theological meaning, when two people of flesh become one.

Not only that but right after the sons of God take wives, the passage seems to indicate that God was grieved enough to proclaim:

"And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years"

It seems to me that God is talking about the "sons of God" here (that he is also flesh). If they were in fact devout men, consecrated to God (perhaps virginal) it makes sense that God would be disappointed with their decision to leave their holy life and take wives like common men. If the sons of God were angels in this case, then why were all men punished, so-to-speak, with a limit of 120 years of life?

I've found an old source that states this view rather well. It's the Conflict of Adam and Eve with Satan, from around the 6th century A.D. and it puts it this way:

Certain wise men of old wrote concerning them, and say in their [sacred] books, that angels came down from heaven, and mingled with the daughters of Cain, who bare unto them these giants. But these [wise men] err in what they say. God forbid such a thing, that angels who are spirits, should be found committing sin with human beings. Never, that cannot be. And if such a thing were of the nature of angels, or Satans, that fell, they would not leave one woman on earth, undefiled... But many men say, that angels came down from heaven, and joined themselves to women, and had children by them. This cannot be true. But they were children of Seth, who were of the children of Adam, that dwelt on the mountain, high up, while they preserved their virginity, their innocence and their glory like angels; and were then called 'angels of God.' But when they transgressed and mingled with the children of Cain, and begat children, ill-informed men said, that angels had come down from heaven, and mingled with the daughters of men, who bare them giants.
