Oh, come on.

Flatly contradicted by Scripture....

29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

Normally, I don't like the RSV, but their rendering of v. 29 drives the point home in plain English -- "You are wrong!!!"

(Jude24 washes himself off for quoting the RSV....)

Read carefully the passage!

It states as the angels of God in heaven!

Those are those who were obedient to God and thus are in heaven,.

Nowhere does it say that Angels are (were)incapable of mating with women, if they turned their appearance into men, as they did a number of times in Scripture (Gen.18-19).
