The KJV phrase "sons of God" refers to the heavenly dimension state, i.e., the angelic body state.

Matt 22:30
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

KJV

1 John 3:2
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

KJV

After Lord Jesus came and died on the cross, and The Father raised Him from the dead, all those in Christ now are called "sons of God", even women today. The reason why women in Christ Jesus are also now called "sons of God" too is because it refers to the angelic body state of the future, the "spiritual body" that Apostle Paul taught in 1 Corinthians 15. Per God's Word, the angels with that kind of body also, always appeared as men. Thus the "sons of God" reference for women in Christ also.

One gets that spiritual body type either at flesh death, or when one is changed on the day of Christ's future return. That spiritual body is what Paul also called "the image of the heavenly" that we shall be changed to, which points to what Jesus said above in Matthew 22:30 being MEANT LITERALLY ("but are as the angels of God in heaven", meaning in the same kind of heavenly body like the angels, which is a spiritual body, the image of the heavenly).

PRIOR to Christ's 1st coming, that phrase "sons of God" only referred to the angels in The Old Testament...

Job 1:6
6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

KJV

Thus it is very, very easy to understand that the "sons of God" in Genesis 6 was ALSO POINTING TO ANGELS that mated with flesh women to produce a hybrid giant race which God did not ordain.

Please state from your perspective Who “ARE” sons of God, and Why.

Thank you,

The sons of God in Genesis were the faithful sons from the line of Seth and the daughters of men were the unfaithful daughters from the unfaithful line of Cain.

Uh, no, they were not.

The Isaiah 26:14 in the KJV with the word "deceased" is actually a proper name for the giants (Rephaim). It was translated elsewhere in the KJV OT as "Rephaim", but here in Isaiah 26:14 they rendered it as "deceased". But what is more telling is how the verse reveals these "shall not rise", i.e., not resurrect.

Isa 26:14
14 They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast Thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.

KJV

We know that all... born in the flesh will have a resurrection. But these will not as the above verse shows. That can mean only one thing. That is pointing to the Rephaim being HYBRIDS, and not normal flesh human beings.

This also is what the Genesis 6 Scripture is pointing to when it is speaking of the "sons of God" looking upon the daughters of Adam and seeing they were fair, took wives of them, and their offspring were the giants, like Goliath and those in 2 Samuel 21:20-21, which one had six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot. Why would that be in that verse? Because it's a marker to let the reader know those giants were not normal flesh human beings.

And because Genesis 6 also points out those giants were 'men of renown', meaning 'men of the name', i.e., of the legend, it is pointing to the legends of the gods of mythology (like the Titans) that is written in many ancient civilizations, even in the American Indian culture.

And finally in Genesis 6, we are told that Noah was 'perfect' in his generations, which that Hebrew word for 'perfect' is a word about bloodline purity required for the old covenant sacrifices. It points directly to Noah having kept his bloodline pure away from the Nephilim giant hybrid race.
