I love reading Josephus myself but I don’t listen to men when their stories contradict the Lord’s and you shouldn’t either. Why is it today that people need a little something extra outside of the Bible to maintain their faith? Because in the last days people will not be able to tolerate sound doctrine and will prefer fables as supposing them easier to believe.

Matthew 22:30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.

Angels don’t marry. They never have and they never will. Stop looking for extra unsupported knowledge to prop up your faith. Simply look to Christ. The “saved group” is the only one you need to be in. Stop drinking milk and start eating solid food. It’s time to mature.

So, they'll be "living in sin," huh? "Slapping their nasties together" without benefit of a marriage license?

Regards,

"....angels in heaven."

Jesus was dressing down the Sadducee for their seven brothers one wife story and what will happen in the resurrection. Jesus says nothing about Satan or fallen Angels. But in "Gen 6:4 Now giants were upon the earth in those days. For after the sons of God went in to the daughters of men, and they brought forth children, these are the mighty men of old, men of renown." Since "sons of God" is used for a term for Angels and the text indicates the procreation results into a hybrid being it is not unreasonable to believe that the fallen angels did this. Peter says "2Pe 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but delivered them, drawn down by infernal ropes to the lower hell, unto torments, to be reserved unto judgment: 2Pe 2:5 And spared not the original world, but preserved Noe, the eighth person, the preacher of justice, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly." Was the procreation between angels and women a part of the reason for the flood? Could "Gen 6:9 These are the generations of Noe: Noe was a just and perfect man in his generations, he walked with God. " mean Noah genealogy was not polluted?
