As I know this is were things will start to expand into may different topics, I feel it would be wise to take chapter 6 in parts, rather than the whole chapter at once.
Gen 6:2 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.
The Sons Of God. There are 2 main teachings on this that I will address.
1 The Sons Of God was mistranslated. AS it would seem that the translates seen the word El, and and knowing that it was a Hebrew word for HaShem, thought it was speaking of HaShem, so the translation was made with that in mind.
As we have vary little to go on about Angels, from the word, this is a debate were the truth will never really be known until HaShem Himself gives us the answer. Yet we do have a bit of light from the Word on this, however it seems to not be enough to end this debate.
Lets look at it and see what we can find.
Luk 20:34 Jesus answered and said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.
Luk 20:35 “But those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;
Luk 20:36 “nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
From this passage, one can't not assume much of anything. However as the Angels as seen here, don't have marriage, it would be safe to say that they don't have kids. Why is that? Did HaShem create Angels with out the ability to have kids, or is it that they simply have no wish to?
With all the books out there about Angels, one must wounder, were all those teaching come from. Some claim out side sources, like the Book of Enoch. Others claim divine revelation. Yet not one side will claim their info comes from the Word, why is that? Can it be that this a debate that is more a wast of time, and holds nothing that leads to Salvation. Or may it just be that we were not truly meant to know?
I will place some questions for you all to answer if you think you have the answer to this debate. They are not meant to be seen as hostile or argumentative. Simply some question that come from a vary logical mind, and would need to be answered to convince the one that asked them. No it was not me.
Next we have the side that looks at this from a Hebrew prospective. They say," The word El can be HaShem or a ruling class of peoples. In this case the word El is denoting the rulers of the land at that time. They took what they wanted, and if anyone got in the way, they killed them.
Given that Angels don't have kids, and we really don't why, this would seem the "safe road" to take. Yet their is that bit of the unknown that man likes to fill. I will not enter this debate for amny reasons.
1 I see no point in debating a thing that has no answer.
2 I am not here to push my thoughts, belief's, or understanding on any one.
3 My thoughts on this I know and fully understand are based only on what I find as truth, therefore are subject to error.

2Ti 2:14 Remind
them of these things, charging
them before the Lord not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers.
The question asked in one study on this are as follows.
1 If Satan can disrupt mans walk with HaShem by infesting the world with his off spring, why has he not done so?
2 Angles always show up in the word as men, so that being as it is, why do HaShem's Angles not bring kids into the world to disrupt the evil?
3 Are Angels really of the male sex, or can it be that they are sexless, and only show as men due to the women being powerless in that time?
I hope you enjoy your debate on this. As it seems to be one that has no real answer's, it does seem pointless. Yet I have seen that a pointless debate on here is the one most preferred. Enjoy
