Angels are completely asexual. They were not created by God to reproduce and he sure as shit has enough control over his creation to keep his messenger servants from dropping down to earth and popping out a few kids.
Nephilim simply means "giant", and yes, there were giant humans at one point on earth. God originally created humans in an extremely wide range of sizes and colors, just as he created the first humans to live almost a thousand years and later shortened our lifespans after the flood. There's no need to invent some weird explanation of Angels coming down and getting busy with the girls in order to have giants; they always existed.
The Book of Enoch is an apocryphal text that disagrees with the Biblical texts in several areas. If you're spending more time in it, than you're spending in Daniel and Revelation right now, then you need to rethink your priorities.
God made all things, yet people and animals are mentioned. Think on why giants and Nephelim aren’t mentioned.
Do you really believe they were missed by accident in the Bible? Do you really believe what you said about angels not being able to breed?
Revelation 9:15 tells us that one third of the heavenly angels sided with Satan and were cast out of heaven to the earth (Revelation 12:4). Christians have the power of God’s Spirit living within them today to rescue those who have fallen with Satan.
Genesis 6:4-8 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
5 The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. 6 The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.
Yes, the Son's of God are human men.
The daughters of men are the "daughters of men" because God created women from Adam's rib, therefore this verse merely reinforces that men are subservient to God and women are subservient to their fathers/husbands.
The Son's of God are not Angels/Demons, and there's not one other iota of proof you can find in the entire Bible that says otherwise. It's why everyone has to back this verse up by going to the demonically inspired book of enoch which is literally a heretical text.
I have barely read any of Enoch, though the Bible does reference him as having walked with God, so though his booms are not in the Bible and not divinely inspired, I believe they are historically accurate
