Because if they had sex organs they would want to have sex. It would be cruel for God to give angels sex organs and not allow marriage, which is the only sanctioned relationship for sex. By this we can deduce that they do not have sex organs
How big was a king Og? How did he come about?

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.

Men but not having sex organs…wow. verse please
Everything stated is opinions, no scripture.
I asked you for a verse and you could not provide one because one does not
exist... but you claimed it was common sense. In other words, your opinion.

Im not being daft, whatever that means…what was your question?
The definition of daft says
silly; foolish.
"don't ask such daft questions" <= part of the actual definition!


Playing dumb does not really suit you either, especially if you put yourself forward as a teacher.

It just comes across as another daft tack to take.

Where can I find what God said about the sex organs of Angels?

It’s all coming from this verse

“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.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭6:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

because it says the sons of God came into the daughters of men “ people assume it must be angels because they produced “ giants “ so we add in a tbeorhetical idea that of spiritual angels bred with natural humans somehow tbier babies would be giants ? This relies not on any factual basis but a misreading of a statement early in scripture later we find out mankind is the children and hiers of God

children receive inheritance to come to the conclusion one has to assume “sons of God are angels “ but biblically it’s refuted pretty clearly and without mistake

I already posted it again for you. Did you miss it?

You cannot give Scripture for it but only your opinion, thanks for nothing.

Except for letting me know which one it is. Thanks for that, at least.

Look at it this way: the pagan mythologies had their origins somewhere. Why would an explanation that accounts for both biblical information and myths not be considered? The ‘myth’ view accounts for far more than Genesis 6.

Then men called upon the name of the Lord is a mis quote from the original.
Actually the scripture reads.....then men began to profane the word of the Lord.
In both lines of Seth and Abel were good and bad. Cain off spring for example had names that reflected God's name in them.
I personally don't hold the view of the Cain and Seth line.

How the angels left there first estate remains a mystery but it was done. Satan's attack on the human gene pool fits better when we read about Noah. He was not contaminated. We see also that giants were in the land after words with Joshua's spy's and David and Goliath.
Many of the ancient religions also record giants.
Also if you look at the roman pagan gods you will notice all kinds of freaks that are renowned. Just a few examples.
If everyone except Noah's family perish how did the giants survive? Are these the demons Jesus rebuked when he walked the earth?
Also his teaching on house cleaning comes to mind.
Why did the men in Sodom "prize" the angles. Very interesting study GEN 6.

Just thought I'd share what I have found.
“Then men called upon the name of the Lord is an mis quote from the original. “

yes tbisbis a common tactic here if the scripture doesn’t fit out idea say the original doesn’t say that can you tell me how you came to this o owledge of the “ original “ and how people had it wrong until now ?

asks why does the Bible call Adam the son of God ?

“which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭3:38‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Or why does Hebrews show clearly the difference in Gods children and his spiritual ministers who minister to the hiers which are the children ?

“hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, This day have I begotten thee?

And again, I will be to him a Father, And he shall be to me a Son?

And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, And his ministers a flame of fire. But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, Until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭1:2-5, 7, 13-14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

the hiers of God are his children

“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:16

I’d say given the fact that God was associating with them the scripture is correct saying they began to call upon his name we know abel was accepted by God and was a man of faith see Hebrews 11 but cain even though he did wickedness God was still speaking with him calling him to repentance

i think upon careful observation in those early generations they had a very close relationship with God Enoch never even died as he walked by faith those are the sons of God it’s always been mankind

“What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, And hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet:”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭8:4-6‬

why do you suppose some of the angels rebelled against Gods relationship with mankind why does Satan hate us so much ?

man is chosen and ordained to be Gods children made in his likeness and image and given an inheritance of his creation

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:27‬ ‭KJV‬‬

christ is the image of God

Not according to the Bible no . read this section of Hebrews if you do that you’ll have a hard time not hearing it

“hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. ( his son )

For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, This day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, And he shall be to me a Son?”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭1:2, 4-5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Jesus is the son and his name was inherited a better and greater name than angels because none has ever been called his son.

“But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, Until I make thine enemies thy footstool? ( he said that to his son )

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭1:13-14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

the children are the hiers of thier parent angels are spiritual ministers sent to minister to them

“But we see Jesus, ( the son ) who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; ( jesus became one of the children man not angels ) that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, ( the son made like the children ) that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭2:9-10, 14-17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

I think that of you read that section of scripture Hebrews chapter one and two it pretty much clears up the question rather thoroughly making a very clear and pronounced difference between Gods children and Gods angels


p.s. The closest verse to saying anything even close is when it says men will become like angels in the resurrection not marrying or giving in marriage

Because it's silly and perverse. Why do some Christians gravitate towards the fantastical interpretations rather than exercise some skepticism, restraint and faith to search out and be amenable to the Occam's Razor interpretation?
