Must agree with Jag here I think what needs to be considered is this: The union between Angels (Nephelium= means fallen ones) and men were the
FALLEN ANGELS this was an abomination to God it is why he sent the flood.It is also true that there is no marriage in heaven, but we are not talking in heaven, We are talking on earth. We are told these angels left their first habitat which is heaven.
Came to earth and married daughters of men as they were led by Satan. This will not be possible when we are all spirit as 1Cor.15 tells usand its not possible in heaven (as flesh and blood can not enter)But we are talking Fallen Ones (nephillium) and here on earth So in understanding this we must rightly divide where and who we are talking about.Anyone wanting another veiw on this can read the book of Enoch its not scripture so do not take it as such but it was widely read and accepted by early Christians and was found among the dead sea scrollsEnoch link

Here is my study on this subject; I realize that those who are convinced that spirits have the ability to reproduce, let alone have intercourse with females (I wonder what they believe is the reason for God to create angels with male sex organs?) and produce offspring this will not convince them....the only way they will change their belief is that their pastor/minister would have to tell them that is not true. But their pastor will not do so until the Church has a change in belief. This is for those who are willing to examine this more closely to get at the truth.Who Are the Sons of God Mentioned in Genesis 6:2-5?John 3:3-7 (ASV) 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God! 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born anew.1 Peter 1:22-23 (Darby) 22 Having purified your souls by obedience to the truth to unfeigned brotherly love, love one another out of a pure heart fervently; 23 being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by [the] living and abiding word of God.Matthew 5:9 (ASV) 9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called sons of God.Romans 8:14 (ASV) 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.The sons of God in Genesis 6: 2-5 are those who were born from of the Holy Spirit. And the giants are simply tyrants or those who were in rebellion against God….sinners if you will.Genesis 6:2-5 (KJV) 2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. 5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.Giants:Hebrew Word: נְפִילִיםTransliteration: nepîlîmPhonetic Pronunciation: nef-eel'Root: from Cross Reference: TWOT - 1393aPart of Speech: n mVine's Words: Noneor nephil, nef-eel'; from (naphal); properly, a feller, i.e. a bully or tyrant :- giant.—Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew DictionaryAngels do not marryMark 12:25 (ASV) 25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as angels in heaven.Matthew 22:30 (ASV) 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels in heaven.There were giants in the earth—נפלים nephilim, from נפל naphal, "he fell." Those who had apostatized or fallen from the true religion. The Septuagint translate the original word by γιγαντες, which literally signifies earth-born, and which we, following them, term giants, without having any reference to the meaning of the word, which we generally conceive to signify persons of enormous stature. But the word when properly understood makes a very just distinction between the sons of men and the sons of God; those were the nephilim, the fallen earth-born men, with the animal and devilish mind. These were the sons of God, who were born from above; children of the kingdom, because children of God. Hence we may suppose originated the different appellatives given to sinners and saints; the former were termed γιγαντες, earth-born, and the latter, ἁγιοι, i.e. saints, persons not of the earth, or separated from the earth.—Adam Clarke's CommentaryAngels and including demons are not compatible with human beings; flesh and spirit cannot unite to produce offspring; only human beings (a male and female in sexual intercourse) can produce an offspring. Evil spirits, even the faithful angels that serves God has no ability to impregnate a female human. Nowhere in the Bible can we find where demons or angels can mate with female human beings and produce children. Those who believe this assume that because it says the sons of God saw the daughters of men….that it is talking about the angels of God, or evne evil spirits having sex with female humans and producing giants. They fail to understand that the sons of God are talking about Spirit filled human beings. Also, would God consider demons as His sons? Even Jesus when He was talking to the Pharisees, said that Satan was there father. Satan was their father because as He said, “The deeds of the devil they do.” It is our deeds that show who our father is, in God’s eyes, spiritually speaking. So evil spirits are not sons of God, because they do not do the work/things of God. Angels are created sons in the sense that God created them, but they are not true sons of God as one that is born again of the Holy Spirit.So it is clear for those who are willing to see that the sons of men mention in Genesis 6:2-5 is talking about human being that are in rebellion against God. In other words they are people who were not born again of the Spirit.
