Re: Angels reproducing with humans possible?
yes, yes; i naturally assume that my 'knowledge' is vastly superior to yours, also; being mine. I think we have different definitions of "mythology," to start with. Would you agree that (at least) the beginning of Genesis is "mythology?"
But regardless, you might address the assertion if you disagree with it, in some particular? What is it you disagree with?

Re: Angels reproducing with humans possible?
The strongest argument against the angel view is the context of the flow of thought concerning man, as well as Christ saying angels do not reproduce. Twist away, but that fact stands.

That's only one Holy Angel.
Imagine what just small contingency of angels could do if they rebelled and chose to wreak havoc on planet earth.

Jesus plainly said angels are incapable of reproduction. Stressing "of heaven" is very weak, imo. The concept of angels only stems from fleshly fascination, I think.

well, you can say "twist," but i am just reading Scripture. "Daughters of men" is plainly "_______ ha Adam." (i forget the word for daughters)

But I cannot see how THAT can override the simple statement angels do not reproduce and the overall context. And the alternate reading of the statement when Enos was born, as well. Fallen man focuses on their lineage from flesh. Those serving God consider themselves His children.

well, you have a translation that suggests "incapable," when a better word might be "proscribed" or "prohibited" or something.

Re: Angels reproducing with humans possible?
@ "angels don't reproduce," a different concept is obviously being discussed, and them not reproducing is meant in the context of they don't marry. I don't speak to the dead, either; because it is proscribed for me to do so by God--doesn't mean i can't do it.

No offense, but that is illogical. Why would God restrict an ability after having created them with the ability?

Actually I thought the context was the strongest argument AGAINST Sons of God being Human.
I made that argument earlier and gave reasons why from the context and grammar

Jesus did not say they are incapable. He said they don't marry. Being incapable and abstaining are not the same things
And yes Jesus does say "In heaven"...to be differentiated from those not "in heaven"
