He didn't create gay people to stick things in the wrong cavities either. By the way, angels can manifest human bodies. Abraham entertained 3 of them on the way to Sodom that sat down and ate with him. Called them men even. Gideon dined with one. There are other examples as well.

Gay people are never going to reproduce by sticking their things in the wrong cavities. A horse is never going to reproduce with an elephant because they are of different kinds. A human can't reproduce with an ape even though we're almost genetically identical. How much further apart would an angel and a human be?

And why would God create angels with the ability to reproduce with humans in the first place? He didn't give that ability to any other creature.

Re 48396

Don't you think that's awfully weak, the notion that He is somehow mystically invested in the bread and wine by the speaking of the words?

I guess it depends on your definition of "weak." I don't see how Jesus, making Himself physically present on our altars when we engage in the remembrance He commanded of us is "weak."

What would "strong" look like?

I just said Abraham mistook angels for men. Sounds pretty close to me.

And why would God create angels with the ability to reproduce with humans in the first place? He didn't give that ability to any other creature.

You'll have to ask Him. Scripturally angels and men are capable of sinning. Are animals capable of sinning?

Jude:6 And 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. 7 Even 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.

Angels leaving their habitation and like Sodom and Gomorrha giving themselves over to fornication. Sounds pretty clear to me. Key words here: "even as".
