Are angels sexual or asexual?

Towards the beginning of genesis angel (Sons of god) come down and procreate with human women because they find the to be so beautiful, but when Jesus is asked how resurrection would be possible, because if a woman went through a bunch of husbands and they all died she wouldn't know which she was married to if they all rose, he said they would be asexual like angels. So which is it?

    Well, if you are interested in what is in scripture about the matter, it may interest you to know that the Hebrew for Angel is different from the Hebrew for sons of God.

    An angel is specifically an entity for conveying the message of God to a mortal.

    Nobody really knows much about the sons of god mentioned only a few times in the Bible.

    Just before the flood myth in Genesis, we encounter the passage about the sons of god having children by mortal women they were greatly attracted to. The offspring were giants.

    From other literature of that time, it is clear that there were a lot of beliefs about these sons of god. They show up in other literature, and indirect talk about them shows that the contemporaries were greatly interested in them, but unfortunately, almost nothing concrete has come down to us about them.

    They were not angels, however. Angels keep showing up fairly regularly, giving their messages, even into the New Testament.

    For the ancient peoples of the Old Testament, simple explanations were taught. When Jesus came, he refuted most all of the false teachings and revealed the deeper divine truths. You will come to realize these difference if you will study his words and teachings in the Gospels.

    Before him, no one had as much authority or understood God's teachings fully. That's why he had to come.

    Fallen angels procreated with human women. Angels in heaven do not.

    I think there are different kinds of angels in judeo-christian mythology.
