It can be interpreted in Genesis 6:4 that Fallen Angels lusted after human women and mated with them, and their offspring became heroes of renown. Also, according to the Book of Enoch, this same idea is repeated. I would like to discuss these beliefs in this thread.
First, I suppose we need to know what an angel is. According to dictionary.com an 'angel' is "one of a class of spiritual beings; a celestial attendant of God. In medieval angelology, angels constituted the lowest of the nine celestial orders (seraphim, cherubim, thrones, dominations or dominions, virtues, powers, principalities or princedoms, archangels, and angels)."
Dictionary.com goes on to explain a 'spiritual being' as "an incorporeal being believed to have powers to affect the course of human events".
It then explains 'incorporeal' as "not corporeal or material; insubstantial."
So, it then seems that an angel would be an immaterial being, who is a celestial attendant of god, and is believed to have powers to affect the course of human events.
According to the bible, 1/3 of these celestial, immaterial beings somehow rebelled against the loving god and creator of the universe. They became fallen angels.
Though they are genderless, and without male reproductive organs, they somehow lusted after human women, and desired to mate with them. How is this possible? IMO, it would be like human men all lusting and desiring to mate with chimpanzees. Next, is it possible that these fallen angels had male reproductive organs? Were there also female angels with reproductive organs? If so, could they mate with each other and produce angelic offspring? If not, why did they have reproductive organs?
Next, it is said that they no longer were angels, but they became human men. Did none of them become human women? If not, why not? After this, they mated with human women and had offspring. These offspring are the ones who were an abomination to god. They were heroes of old, men of renown. Some even say they were giants, or some kind of hybrid beings called Nephilim.
If angels became human men who were compatible with human women in such a way that offspring could be born, why were they hybrid, abnormal offspring? If their dna was compatible with human dna, why weren't their offspring normal humans? How could hybrids be born from sexual reproduction? If these angels retained their own dna, though they became human, how would they be compatible with human women? It would be like a man becoming a chimpanzee but retaining his own dna, then mating with chimpanzees and having offspring. It wouldn't work, because the dna would not be compatible through sexual reproduction. One other possibility would be genetic manipulation.
Now, if genetic manipulation is the answer, then no sexual reproduction is needed, nor is lusting to mate with human women necessary. It would mean that these angels had some form of technology to extract human women dna, and their own dna and splice it together and possibly reinserting this combination back into the woman to give birth to it. If that is the case, where did these angels get their instruments to do these experiments? Did they fashion them from dirt? Do they have a factory that makes them? Can they create things out of thin air like their god?

Yes, that has been repeated all through out this thread. I know what it says. Now tell me, if these angels became human, why did they produce hybrid offspring and not human offspring? If they weren't fully human, how were they compatible with women to produce offspring at all?

This whole corruption of the human dna was a plan by the head fallen angle Satan to totally corrupt the human dna so that the redeemer could not come. Noah was said to be perfect in all his ways meaning that his dna was not corrupted and that is the reason his family was the only ones who survived the flood.

Where is this information coming from? thanks..
Uhhh....I read, friend. Books, lots of books. Reading four right now. What kind of question was that, anyway?

Someone suggested that these people were products of a genetic disorder called Giganticism. Every one of them?
Those who suffer from that are extremely weak, these men were the "men of renown", fierce fighters. The ancient Indian tales speak of men who while running could scoop up a buffalo and rip it's head off. These Nephillim built all the monolith structures around the world, they swung 7 foot axes that are on display at Baghdad Museum.

That's not what I am saying. I am telling you that if you look at ancient Sumerian texts it says we were genetically engineered and were slaves. This makes total sense as suddenly human beings were suddenly just here. Why would it be so hard to accept the fact that maybe there are hundred even thousands of our species throughout this gigantic universe.
What if there was a advanced race of beings long ago that brought us here and left us here? Is it that hard to accept the fact that we were engineered in a laboratory and then left here?
We are doing right now in science with animals on this planet, so it's not far fetched at all. If you look at DNA sequence models science is finding strange stuff in our DNA that shouldn't be there. They are also finding in our DNA strange outside sources of DNA that don't correspond to being human at all.
In the near future mankind will learn that this is true and this is what will be referred to as the awakening or the revelation.

Have you ever thought that maybe angels were a referent to an alien race outside of earth? What if these supposed angels were really an alien race from another planet that came here and did mate with ancient women and this is how we ended up with so many different races of human beings on planet earth.
If you follow Sitchin, right? Or do most Sumerian scholars agree with this? I don't remember...

Hydroman, yes Sumerian scholars agree with stitchin for the most part. The tablets say an ET engineered us and then some of them mated with the women afterward as we were made in their image and had similar body parts.
The biblical Abraham came from Sumeria, from a city called Ur. He would have known of these stories. I wonder if he's the one who passed down the Sumerian stories to his descendants, the Hebrews?

I think I read somewhere that the Sumerians also had a flood story also. It seems to me like these stories might have the same origin but told in a little different way. But again, I haven’t had the chance to read up on this yet.

Finally, if god did have a plan of redemption, why did he say in Genesis 6 that he was going to wipe all men and beast off the face of the earth, but then changed his mind when Noah found grace? Why didn't he say, "This is all part of the plan" being that he is omniscient?
If you see the biblical god as an omniscient being, someone who knows all, then he had a plan of redemption from the very beginning before he created anything. That being the case, why would he act the way he did? As you said, he wanted to wipe mankind off the face of the earth. He regretted making man. Why would he act like that when he had a plan the whole time?

Satan is so full of pride he thinks he can beat God. And yes God wanted to wipe out the human race many times Moses talked Him out of it God wanted to repent for making man.

This is why I keep bringing up the “Red Headed Giants of Nevada” It was a old Indian tale that ended up being true. And subsequently covered up by the government…
