John, do you not see you are contradicting yourself own this matter.
"I do not know if there will be sexual relations in the age to come among spirit beings," if you really don't know, then why do you turn right around and say "Those who say that there is no sex in the age to come are unlearned and ignorant of the Scriptures."
Isn't your stance on this your personal opinion as well, where are your 2 witnesses. Because what we are discussing here so offends your carnal flesh to such a degree, that you have resorted to lashing out. You need to either get a grip or just leave this subject alone.
Christ was discussing pray with the disciples and told them...
Luke 11:2 So He said to them, "When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.
So when His kingdom is set up on earth, it will be as it is in heaven...
Matt 22:29 Jesus answered and said to them, "You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.
v. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven.
Mark 12:24 Jesus answered and said to them, "Are you not therefore mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God?
v.25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
If you have some idea that angels (spirit beings) could have sex, well Ray didn't believe that.

Gen. 6 has absolutely NOTHING to do with "fallen angels." The "sons of God" and the "daughters of men" is not speaking of mortals and spirit beings. This is just another one of Christendom's fables.
Jesus plainly told us that,
"Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God., For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage [why? why aren't they given in marriage? Answer....] ...but are AS THE ANGELS of God in heaven" (Matt. 22:30).
The angels CANNOT MARRY (they have no 'marriage apparatus' if you know what I mean). Yet we are told in Gen. 6:2, that "they took them WIVES of all which they chose." To have a "wife" one must be "MARRIED." The sons of God and the daughters of men are BOTH HUMAN.
I believe that verse 4 of Gen. 6 is a terrible translation in the King James. Since most translators have bought into the 'angels fornicating with women' theory, most of them have a very strange translation of this verse. There are whole words in this Hebrew verse that are not even translated at all in most versions.
Notice this translation from the Concordant Version:
"Now the DISTINGUISHED come to be in the earth in those days, and moreover, afterward, coming are those who are sons of God to the daughters of the human, and they bear for them. They are the MASTERS, who are from the eon, MORTALS with the name."
Sorry I don't have time to explain the meaning of all these verses, but at least I want you to know that this is not a case of angels fornicating with women.
God be with you,
