Okay so I don't understand something about the "Sons of God" (fallen angels) who left their first estate and came down to earth to procreate with human women.

Why? Why would they have the ability to pass on their genetic seed? We can be sure that angels did not procreate in heaven. So why and how did these fallen Angels suddenly get endowed with (testicles? I'm assuming?). I thought the angels were either without gender or predominantly male. But that still doesn't make much sense to me. How were they able to procreate with humans?

Their first estate could be a reference to an angelic body. So, when they left for earth, they took on human form.

The Book of Enoch relates the events and was accepted by some early Christians. However, The Book of Jubilees has a different take. It reports that God sent the angels to earth to instruct people, rather than the angels having the idea to go there. Meaning the mission began with good intent and on God's behalf. Once there they became enamored with humans and began to err, mating with them and teaching them forbidden things.

Haha. I guess it really could be as simple as that. I've overcomplicated things maybe. Ty

(Or maybe not?!?)

This is one view. The other view is the sons of God are not angels but Godly descendants of Seth. Puts things in a more logical perspective . We can also back this up as Jesus Christ of Nazareth clearly stated that there is no marriage among angels who occupy heaven and obviously they do not occupy earth. Blessings.

How and why would the descendants of Seth create nephilim?

Genesis 6:5 Now the giants were upon the earth in those days; and after that when the sons of God were wont to go in to the daughters of men, they bore children to them, those were the giants of old, the men of renown.LXX

Giants, before and after the flood. Some say that the sin in the garden of Eden, as taught by the dragon, was intercourse: hence the sudden desire for clothing. How else can one explain the seed of the woman versus the seed of the dragon/enchanter? The woman Eve was the mother of all humans. So, the sons of God would have been the dragon and his angels on Earth.

Nephilim are men of great stature, giants. According to Genesis, they appeared after the flood as well as before.

I struggled with this point too, but yes they took human form. It was to prevent the Seed of Christ to come into the world by destroying the seed of man with permanent cancer and defiled DNA. The result was a progeny that was not fully human, but monstrous giants- the first generation in the days of Jared.

[Jde 1:6 NIV] And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their proper dwelling--these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day.

[2Pe 2:4 NIV] For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to Tartarus, putting them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment;

Once they abandoned their heavenly dwelling they could not go back.
I Enoch elaborates on many details of their one-way trip which landed them in Tartarus.

Perhaps they were the descendants of Cain.

And the reference to them as giants could be like saying Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, Carnegie, Morgan and Ford were the giants of industry. Men of great renown.

Similar to the way they found a way to make males into females and females into males today. I don't mean the literal way as in hormones injections etc., but in the same way humans found a way around gender transitions. They found a way around how God made them, to be something they were never meant to be the same way we as humans found a way around it. How they did it we can't know because we don't know enough about the angels' make up to even guess how they did it. The Bible does say they can take human form at will and even eat and drink food. So somehow they manipulated that ability to gerry rig some kind of unnatural way to reproduce with human women. They did it as a way to have some kind of legal stance on the earth by being born into the earth from humanity. Some also say they tried to pollute the human bloodline to keep Jesus from coming. Maybe they felt like Jesus would not die for humanity if they mixed their bloodline in humans? Or maybe they tried to mix themselves in humanity as a way to be saved when Jesus saves humanity? Trying to avoid hell and judgement?

Everything in your post is interesting, except I don't think intercourse was the sin taught by the devil because God told Adam & Eve to multiply before the snake tempted Eve.

It says they don't marry. It doesn't say they can't.

They were thrown down to decieve humanity and some were infact possessed however, they never became flesh and married human females. This false narrative also assumes angels have a gender, males only? Let us reason. There is a better understanding of this text.
