"Pastor Bob - sundry details"


In your Enoch piece you quote Mat 22:30 as "They neither marry or are given in marriage... Like the angels..." 

The complete quotation is: "For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven." Gerlinda's response http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/may2015/gerlinda510.htm didn't pick up on this, but I regard it as key. Jesus was referring to the "unfallen" angels, not those who left their first estate and took daughters of men as wives and produced offspring. I do not regard Enoch as missing Scripture. I do think Genesis is crystal clear that fallen angels did cohabit with women and produce offspring.

In your thoughtful reply http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/may2015/pastorbob510-5.htm to me regarding Alexander Hamilton and other matters, you criticize my use of Wikipedia, I concur. I generally do not use Wiki as a source when I'm doing serious research. However, Hamilton's biography is widely available from many sources. I remember reading it when I was in high school. My criticism of Judge Dale's flagrant historical errors stands.

I have great respect for your writings and enjoy them immensely. When I disagree, I try to do so agreeably, as, I might add, you do with me. 

Maranatha,

Bob
