Numbers 13:32-33
New International Version (NIV)
32 And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size. 33 We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.
Genesis 6:4
New International Version (NIV)
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those daysand also afterwardwhen the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
1 Corinthians 11:10
New International Version (NIV)
10 It is for this reason that a woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels.
Gen 6:2 That the sons 1121 of God 430 saw 7200 the daughters 1323 of men 120 that they 2007 [were] fair 2896; and they took 3947 them wives 802 of all which they chose 977. Gen 6:4 There were giants 5303 in the earth 776 in those days 3117; and also after 310 that 3651, when 834 the sons 1121 of God 430 came in 935 unto the daughters 1323 of men 120, and they bare 3205 [children] to them, the same 1992 [became] mighty men 1368 which [were] of old 5769, men 582 of renown 8034. Job 1:6 Now there was a day 3117 when the sons 1121 of God 430 came 935 to present 3320 themselves before the LORD 3068, and Satan 7854 came 935 also among 8432 them. Job 2:1 Again there was a day 3117 when the sons 1121 of God 430 came 935 to present 3320 themselves before the LORD 3068, and Satan 7854 came 935 also among 8432 them to present 3320 himself before the LORD 3068. Job 38:7 When the morning 1242 stars 3556 sang 7442 together 3162, and all the sons 1121 of God 430 shouted 7321 for joy?
2 Peter 2:4-5
New International Version (NIV)
4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell,[a] putting them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment; 5 if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
1 Peter 3:18-20
New International Version (NIV)
18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit. 19 After being made alive,[a] he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits 20 to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water,
The Nephilim were not mere mortals. There is a great amount of information about them on the internet. Very interesting reading. I hope all will proceed with this subject.
They were Satan's attempt to corrupt the bloodlines of Christ. They failed,the flood was sent to rid the earth of them, thats why God killed everyone but Noah and his family. Noah was perfect in his generations , meaning his dna.
God bless all.

And yet the seeming majority of Jewish and Christian scholars throughout history have tended toward the interpretation that these were mere human beings. Not bizarre angel-human hybrids.

If we added Homer's Illiad with other ancient writings then we could add some really detailed descriptions of what "fallen angels" must look like.
The Children repeatedly demonstrated a reluctance to do what God told them and a penchant for complaining, bemoaning their current condition. They needed a reason to not invade and take over a land they were being told God was giving to them. The inhabitants were tall, big and fierce warriors, yeah giants. Let's go some place where they are not instead. Good idea. Write that down so century laters imaginative people can believe we saw "fallen angels".

Ahhh...the holy internet....please forgive me my dear for doubting. I only have the scriptures to go by and can't afford the internet....how will I ever be a christian with only the Bible as my guide??? Woah is me........
I will have to change everything that I believe now. Aliens are real...Bigfoot is alive and well and there were 2 men on the grassy knoll.
"Jesus loves me this I know...for the internet tells me so..."
They say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but they just aren't very good at it....peace my sister...
Yes. The internet. Where anyone with a wild imagination and a penchant for paranoia can say anything they like and pass it off as factual information.
The internet is a fantastic resource, if one can navigate the wasteland of silliness and find legitimate, credible facts. But, there's still that wasteland.
No.

So, what else can angels definitely do or not do? And where did one poster get his "fact" that angels are neither male nor female? Because they are "spirits"? Is the Spirit of Jesus neither male nor female?
Matthew 22:30 - "At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven."
Angels do not marry or have children. They are each created from scratch by God. If they don't procreate with one another, then I doubt they can with us.
Amazon's book description for "Nephilim Stargates"
"One myth from the history of every great civilization spoke of beings descending from heaven and using human and animal DNA to create giant offspring. Rabbinical authorities, Septuagint translators and early church fathers understood this as a factual record of history. The phenomenon began with the Watchers who spawned Nephilim resulting in judgment from God. The ancients also knew Bible passages that predict the Nephilim will return when Iraq and Iran are invaded and destroyed. Is this prophecy about to be fulfilled? Is man, in his rush to play god through biological weapons, biotechnology, and genetic manipulation, opening gateways to a supernatural unknown? Nephilim Stargates and the Return of the Watchers is a glimpse into this past, present, and future phenomena, with an eye on what sages and scientists believe and what futurists and prophets may fear."
Emphasis mine.
I'm going to go ahead and say that, at least based on this description, this book isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
It might as well be reptilian aliens live in human skin and tin foil hats protect us from their mind-beams.
If one's biblical interpretation starts to look a bit more like a B-rated sci-fi novel, it should seriously cause pause.

God is Spirit and was able to have a child. That is known.
