Bible Question: Sorry I mistakenly posted this in the notes secection when it should be a question. Sorry about the mistake.
I have been pondering on this question for some time. So I thought I would seek the wisdom of many of you on the forum. In Gen. 6:1-6
NKJV) Genesis 6:1 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they [were] beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. 3 And the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he [is] indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years." 4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore [children] to them. Those [were] the mighty men who [were] of old, men of renown. 5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every intent of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil continually. 6 And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.
Here is the question it seems from what I can learn the classical reading of this is that "the sons of God" refered to in this passage are falling angels and that these fallen angels had relations with human women that bore children from these relationships.
Here is my problem first of all Jesus Himself said angels are sexless beings in Matthew 22:29-30.
Another problem I have with this is if in fact fallen angels and human women had children where would they fall in the plan of redemption. Would this not be a new ontological creation? Any help with this will be recieved thankfully. In The Love Of Christ, tgc

Bible Answer: Jude 1:6 And angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day,
Jude 1:7 just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.

"these" in verse 7 are the Angels in verse 6 that became wicked.

It would seem that the angels that became wicked materialized themselves to have relations with women which was a violation of God plan for them and humans.
