""The Book of Enoch" was an ancient bestseller, telling the story of the man said in Genesis to have walked with God and been assumed directly into heaven."
Actually Book of Enoch had a tidbit in there about Angels coming to earth and raping the "fair maidens" and creating a horrible race of giants.
The fallen angles after rapping the women turned and taught the science of war to men.
The rape of maidens is why Hebrew women were instructor to cover their heads, so they wouldn't tempt the angels.
Which might explain why all the Angels in the Bible are men......
If this tread develops on this agenda I will repost one of my less than stellar threads and explain the connection.

I realise I just don't know where in the bible it says that women should cover their heads, and they did where I come from. I assumed it to be some rule ordained by Paul when writing to the communities.
