On the Shepherd's Chapel's official website (http://www.shepherdschapel.com/), Arnold Murray provides his "critics" with a brief defense (http://www.shepherdschapel.com/answers.htm) of the "Serpent Seed" doctrine. Let us examine the soundness of this brief defense.

In Genesis 3:15 God is speaking to the serpent, "and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shall bruise his heel." The bruising of the heel took place when Christ was nailed to the Cross. And finally, for those who still want further proof as to who the serpent really is; we read in Revelation 12:9, "and the great Dragon was cast out, that old Serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world." Now can anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear have any doubt or confusion about Satan's own seed?

Mr. Murray, let us reconsider Genesis 3:15 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203:15;&version=31;).

Genesis 3:15 [NIV] (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203:15;&version=31;)[Hebrew] (http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=Genesis+3%3A15&section=0&it=kjv&ot=bhs&nt=na)
(http://net.bible.org/verse.php?book=Genesis&chapter=3&verse=15)
And I will put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring [ (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203:15;&version=31;#fen-NIV-71a)a] (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203:15;&version=31;#fen-NIV-71a) and hers;
he will crush [ (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203:15;&version=31;#fen-NIV-71b)b] (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203:15;&version=31;#fen-NIV-71b) your head,
and you will strike his heel."

*See also Genesis 3:15 [NASB] (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203:15;&version=49;) and Genesis 3:15 [KJV] (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203:15;&version=9;).

In this verse, God issues punishment to "the serpent" (Genesis 3:14-15 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203:14-15;&version=31;)), who just deceived Eve into eating the forbidden fruit (Genesis 3:1-8 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203:1-8;&version=31;)).

However, since "the serpent" is Satan disguised as a physical snake (Revelation 12:9 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2012:9;&version=31;)), the curse of Genesis 3:15 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203:15;&version=31;) inherently possesses a dual context, as in a literal and prophetic context. For instance:
(a) God curses "the serpent" to "eat dust" (Genesis 3:14 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203:14;&version=31;)). Snakes intake dust and dirt as they swallow prey. However, the concept of "eating dust" also refers to humiliating submission before a conquering force (Micah 7:16-17 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Micah%207:16-17;&version=31;), Psalm 72:9 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2072:9;&version=31;), Isaiah 49:23 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2049:23;&version=31;)), such as in Satan's humiliating submission to Christ Jesus (ref. John 12:31 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2012:31;&version=31;), Hebrews 2:14 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews%202:14;&version=31;), Colossians 2:15 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Colossians%202:15;&version=31;), cross ref. Ephesians 1:19-22 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%201:19-22;&version=31;), 1 Corinthians 15:24-28 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%2015:24-28;&version=31;), Hebrews 2:5-8 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews%202:5-8;&version=31;), Psalm 8:1, 4-9 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%208:1,%204-9;&version=31;)).
(b) God predicts that the serpent will "strike (http://www.studylight.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=07779)" [NIV] (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203:15;&version=31;) or "bruise (http://www.studylight.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=07779)" [NASB (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203:15;&version=49;), KJV (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203:15;&version=9;)] her offsprings' heel. Snakes, poisonous or non-poisonous, defend themselves with a non-fatal, painful bite to one's body, such as in one's foot or leg. However, this imagery of a snake bite also applies to every man's physical death (John 3:14-15 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%203:14-15;&version=31;)), which came by sin (Romans 5:12 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%205:12;&version=31;)) through the serpent's temptation (1 Timothy 2:14 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Timothy%202:14;&version=31;), 2 Corinthians 11:3 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%2011:3;&version=31;)).
(c) God predestines the serpent's head to be "bruised (http://www.studylight.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=07779)" [NASB (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203:15;&version=49;), KJV (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203:15;&version=9;)] or "crushed (http://www.studylight.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=07779)" [NIV] (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203:15;&version=31;) by the offspring of Eve's feet. Snakes remain unpredictably hidden in all terrains, which increases the chance of an unpleasant encounter between men and snakes. When such an enounter happens, men instinctively try to repel or kill a snake by kicking or stomping the snake. However, this imagery also refers to a demonstration of dominance after battle (Joshua 10:24 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Joshua%2010:24;&version=31;), Numbers 24:17 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers%2024:17;&version=31;), 1 Kings 5:3 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Kings%205:3;&version=31;), Lamentations 3:34 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Lamentations%203:34;&version=31;), Malachi 4:3 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Malachi%204:3;&version=31;)), such as in how a person receives victory over Satan in Christ Jesus (Romans 16:20 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%2016:20;&version=31;)).

Likewise, the references to the serpent's "seed (http://www.studylight.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=02233)" [KJV] (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203:15;&version=9;) and Eve's "seed (http://www.studylight.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=02233)" [KJV] (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203:15;&version=9;) contain a dual context. Specifically . . .
(a) Eve's "seed (http://www.studylight.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=02233)" refers to all of mankind (Genesis 3:20 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203:20;&version=31;)), including and particularly Christ Jesus (Matthew 1:1-17 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%201:1-17;&version=31;), Luke 3:23-38 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%203:23-38;&version=31;)). Specifically, God refers to Eve's "seed (http://www.studylight.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=02233)" with the "collective singular noun" zera' (http://www.studylight.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=02233) or zroe
(http://www.scripture4all.org/OnlineInterlinear/OTpdf/gen3.pdf), a noun which can describe a plurality or a singularity in a singular form (i.e. cross compare Genesis 22:17-18 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2022:17-18;&version=31;) [Hebrew] (http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=Genesis+22%3A17-18&section=0&it=kjv&ot=bhs&nt=na)
(http://net.bible.org/passage.php?passage=Genesis%2022:17-18) and Galatians 3:8, 16 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Galatians%203:8,%2016;&version=31;)).
(b) While the serpent's "seed (http://www.studylight.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=02233)" refers to the physical offspring of physical snakes, Satan's spiritual "seed (http://www.studylight.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=02233)" refers to those who obey Satan (ref. John 8:39-47 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%208:39-47;&version=31;), Matthew 13:24-30, 37-39 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2013:24-30,%2037-39;&version=31;), 1 John 3:8, 10 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20John%203:8,%2010;&version=31;), ref. Acts 13:6-12 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%2013:6-12;&version=31;)).
However, Mr. Murray equivocates these dual contexts, thereby applying physical sexuality to spiritual beings. As a result, Mr. Murray could logically extend his theology into doctrines of genetic racism.

Now, quite simply, there is no Scriptural basis for Mr. Murray's equivicative assumptions. Nowhere does Biblical Scripture state that spirits can possess a gender or sexual genitalia. In fact, if Satan is a fallen "cherub angel" or "angel" (ref. Ezekiel 28:14 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel%2028:14;&version=31;)), then Satan does not possess sexual genitalia (ref. Luke 20:34-35 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2020:34-35;&version=31;), Matthew 22:30 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2022:30;&version=31;))[1].

(http://net.bible.org/passage.php?passage=Matthew%2022:23-33) (cross ref. Mark 12:18-27 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%2012:18-27;&version=31;), Luke 20:27-40 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2020:27-40;&version=31;)) the Pharisees used marriage law as an objection to the doctrine of the resurrection. Specifically, under Mosaic Law, if a husband dies before getting a male heir, then a cohabitating brother of the husband must marry the said husband's wife for the purpose of producing a male heir for the said husband (Matthew 22:24 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2022:24;&version=31;), cross ref. Deuteronomy 25:5 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy%2025:5;&version=31;)). Based on this law, the Sadducees posed Christ Jesus with a hypothetical scenario, under which seven brothers-in-law died without having a child or children with the widow of the first deceased brother, with the widow eventually dying as well (Matthew 22:25-27 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2022:25-27;&version=31;)). After this, the Pharisees asked Christ Jesus which brother would marry the said woman at the resurrection (Matthew 22:28 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2022:28;&version=31;)).

Christ Jesus replied by stating that people would not marry at the resurrection, for they will be "like (http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=5613)" [NIV (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2022:30;&version=31;), NASB (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2022:30;&version=49;)] the angels (Matthew 22:30 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2022:30;&version=31;)). By making this statement, Christ Jesus is not simply denying the general existence of marriage in the future, but also the purpose of marriage under the said law, which is substitutionary procreation to produce a male heir. As a result, one can logically conclude that angels do not marry or procreate.

In Matthew 13, our Lord and Saviour explains the Parable of the Sower directly to His disciples. He is very explicit about exactly who the sower of the bad seed really is. Matthew 13:37-39 states, "He (Jesus) answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; the enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels."

Let no one tell you Christ was speaking in a parable here for He was carefully explaining to His disciples the real meaning of the parable He had previously spoken to the multitude. He talked with them in private, and He used language that a child could understand. Christ's teaching of the seed of the devil (or serpent) was nothing new, it was taught from the beginning of Scripture - Genesis.

Mr. Murray, you are equivocating different contexts of "fathership (http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=3962)" (ref. John 8:44 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%208:44;&version=31;) [Geek] (http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=John+8%3A44&section=0&it=kjv&ot=bhs&nt=na)
(http://net.bible.org/verse.php?book=John&chapter=8&verse=44)). Specifically, "fathership (http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=3962)" can refer to a "fatherly oversight" over people, as opposed to genealogical fathership.

For instance, consider John 8:39-47 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%208:39-47;&version=31;). In John 8:39-47 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%208:39-47;&version=31;), Christ Jesus described the Pharisees as "children of the devil," for the Pharisees wanted to serve Satan. Specifically, the Pharisees wanted to fulfill Satan's desires (John 8:44 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%208:44;&version=31;)), refused to hear Christ Jesus's words (John 8:47 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%208:47;&version=31;)), and did not act as Abraham would (John 8:40 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%208:40;&version=31;)). And, beyond all of these observations, Christ Jesus stated that their rejection of Christ Jesus constituted unGodly behavior (John 8:42 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%208:42;&version=31;)). As a result, the Pharisees expressed a behavioral allegence to Satan, thereby granting Satan "fathership (http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=3962)" over the Pharisees.

Now, let us consider Matthew 13:24-30, 37-39 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2013:24-30,%2037-39;&version=31;) [Greek] (http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=Matthew+13%3A24-30%2C+37-39&section=0&it=kjv&oq=Matthew%252013%3A37-39&ot=bhs&nt=na&new=1&nb=mt&ng=13&ncc=13)
(http://net.bible.org/passage.php?passage=mt%2013:24%20-%2030,%2037%20-%2039). In Matthew 13:24-30, 37-39 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2013:24-30,%2037-39;&version=31;), Christ Jesus uses a parable to compare "sons (http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=5207) of the kingdom" with "sons (http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=5207) of the evil one." Specifically, in a field representing the world (Matthew 13:38 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2013:38;&version=31;)) . . .
(a) The devil "sowed (http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=4687)" the "seeds (http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=4690)" of weeds (Matthew 13:39 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2013:39;&version=31;)), which represent "sons (http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=5207) of the evil one" (Matthew 13:38 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2013:38;&version=31;)).
(b) The son of man "sowed (http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=4687)" the "good seeds (http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=4690)" of wheat (Matthew 13:29, 38 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2013:29,%2038;&version=31;)), which represent "sons (http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=5207) of the kingdom" (Matthew 13:37 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2013:37;&version=31;)).
These "seeds (http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=4690)" grew together until the harvest (Matthew 13:29-30 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2013:29-30;&version=31;)). And, throughout the New Testament, the growth of "seeds (http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=4690)" represents personal spiritual development (Matthew 13:29-30 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2013:29-30;&version=31;)[1], cross ref. Matthew 13:3-9, 18-23, 31-32 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2013:3-9,%2018-23,%2031-32;&version=31;), Mark 4:26-29 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%204:26-29;&version=31;), 1 Corinthians 3:5-9 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%203:5-9;&version=31;)), which is harvested for its products (Matthew 13:39-43 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2013:39-43;&version=31;), cross ref. John 4:34-38 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%204:34-38;&version=31;), Mark 4:26-29 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%204:26-29;&version=31;), Revelation 14:14-20 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2014:14-20;&version=31;)). Consequently, the said two groups' personal spiritual development proceeded according to the character of their respective "sower," thereby establishing a relationship of "sonship (http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=5207)" and "fathership (http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=3962)."

However, nowhere does Matthew 13:24-30, 37-39 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2013:24-30,%2037-39;&version=31;) define "sow" (Matthew 13:38-39 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2013:38-39;&version=31;)) as "propagate." In fact, under Mr. Murray's line of thinking, Christ Jesus must have sexual intercourse with someone to produce "born again" Christians.

Footnote:
[1] In pulling up a weed, one risks uprooting desirable plants as one uproots weeds, for the roots of these plants may be entangled. However, since believers and non-believers do not have an entagled fellowship (2 Corinthians 6:14-18 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%206:14-18;&version=31;)), the said entanglement must refer to "the uprooting" of future conversions. As a result, Matthew 13:29-30 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2013:29-30;&version=31;) must refer to personal spiritual growth, which may change direction.

Mr. Murray, you do not teach the Word of God. To the contrary, your "verse-by-verse" teachings employ sloppy Scriptural hermeneutics, many of which produce illogical and cultic doctrines.

In debating the concept of "Serpent Seed," it is likely that traditionalists may appeal to Genesis 6:4 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%206:4;&version=31;). Specifically, more traditional or "orthodox" viewpoints have speculated that Genesis 6:4 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%206:4;&version=31;) refers to a unique instance of angelic sexual reproduction.

Therefore, let us examine Genesis 6:4 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%206:4;&version=31;).

Genesis 6:4 [NIV] (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%206:4;&version=31;) [Greek] (http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=Genesis+6%3A4&section=0&it=kjv&ot=bhs&nt=na)
(http://net.bible.org/verse.php?book=Genesis&chapter=6&verse=4)
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.

*See also Genesis 6:4 [NASB] (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%206:4;&version=49;) and Genesis 6:4 [KJV] (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%206:4;&version=9;).

In interpreting this verse, many people assert that the "sons (http://www.studylight.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=01121) of God (http://www.studylight.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=0410)" are angels, which had sexual intercourse with women. However, while angels are called "sons (http://www.studylight.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=01121) of God (http://www.studylight.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=0410)" (Job 1:6 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Job%201:6;&version=31;) [Hebrew] (http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=Job+1%3A16&section=0&it=kjv&ot=bhs&nt=na), Job 2:1 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Job%202:1;&version=31;) [Hebrew] (http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=Job+2%3A1&section=0&it=kjv&ot=bhs&nt=na)), the Israelites (Deuteronomy 14:1 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy%2014:1;&version=31;) [Hebrew] (http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=Deuteronomy+14%3A1&section=0&it=kjv&ot=bhs&nt=na), Hosea 1:10 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hosea%201:10;&version=31;) [Hebrew] (http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=Hosea+1%3A10&section=0&it=kjv&ot=bhs&nt=na)) and Adam (Luke 3:38 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%203:38;&version=31;) [Greek] (http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=Luke+3%3A38&section=0&it=kjv&ot=bhs&nt=na)) are also called "sons (http://www.studylight.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=01121) of God (http://www.studylight.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=0410)"[1][2]. As a result, one cannot ignore the possibility that Genesis 6:4 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%206:4;&version=31;) refers to the descendents of Seth (ref. Genesis 4:25-26 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Gen.%204:25-26;&version=31;)), thereby rendering this interpretation of Genesis 6:4 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%206:4;&version=31;) as uncompelling.

Nowhere does Biblical Scripture state that spirits can possess a gender or sexual genitalia. In fact, if Satan is a fallen "cherub angel" or "angel" (ref. Ezekiel 28:14 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel%2028:14;&version=31;)), then Satan does not possess sexual genitalia (ref. Luke 20:34-35 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2020:34-35;&version=31;), Matthew 22:30 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2022:30;&version=31;))[3].

[1] In the Hebrew Scriptures, the terms 'El (http://www.studylight.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=0410) and 'Elohiym (http://www.studylight.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=0430) are used as interchangeable references to God.
[2] The Hebrew and Greek terms for "sons of God" express the same concept (i.e. cross ref. John 10:34 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2010:34%20;&version=31;) and Psalm 82:6 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2082:6;&version=31;)).
[3] In Matthew 22:23-33 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2022:23-33;&version=31;) [Greek] (http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=Matthew+22%3A23-33&section=0&it=kjv&ot=bhs&nt=na)
(http://net.bible.org/passage.php?passage=Matthew%2022:23-33) (cross ref. Mark 12:18-27 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%2012:18-27;&version=31;), Luke 20:27-40 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2020:27-40;&version=31;)) the Pharisees used marriage law as an objection to the doctrine of the resurrection. Specifically, under Mosaic Law, if a husband dies before getting a male heir, then a cohabitating brother of the husband must marry the said husband's wife for the purpose of producing a male heir for the said husband (Matthew 22:24 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2022:24;&version=31;), cross ref. Deuteronomy 25:5 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy%2025:5;&version=31;)). Based on this law, the Sadducees posed Christ Jesus with a hypothetical scenario, under which seven brothers-in-law died without having a child or children with the widow of the first deceased brother, with the widow eventually dying as well (Matthew 22:25-27 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2022:25-27;&version=31;)). After this, the Pharisees asked Christ Jesus which brother would marry the said woman at the resurrection (Matthew 22:28 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2022:28;&version=31;)).

Christ Jesus replied by stating that people would not marry at the resurrection, for they will be "like (http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=5613)" [NIV (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2022:30;&version=31;), NASB (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2022:30;&version=49;)] the angels (Matthew 22:30 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2022:30;&version=31;)). By making this statement, Christ Jesus is not simply denying the general existence of marriage in the future, but also the purpose of marriage under the said law, which is substitutionary procreation to produce a male heir. As a result, one can logically conclude that angels do not marry or procreate.
