I totally understand that some of us are committed to the belief that demons had sex with human women and produced the NEPHILIM!
I have absolultly NO desire to argue with any of you. My only purpose is the correctly teach the literal Word of God without additions.

Now for those of you who are believers in that thought, please make sure that you understand that the basic, fundamental premise in the Bible is the doctrine of man's earthly dominion, and it is that God gave His delegated authority to human beings on this planet.
And God made only man as a fleshly being with a soul. That is Bible Christianity 101!!!
Demons, on the other hand, are fallen angels, spirit beings and there is NO BIBLE RECORD that they have a soul or even a body!.
Animals have a body and mind, but no eternal soul/spirit. So then, Man is uniquely made in God's image as a triune being -- spirit, soul (mind, will, and emotions), and body.
God gave dominion to man on the earth to rule as His regent because man was made in His image as a triune being. So only a triune man, made out of the dust of the earth, can have dominion under God. Demons cannot take on flesh -- there is nowhere in the Bible that says that they can. Of course we know that angels, both heavenly and fallen, can appear in human form, but they remain spirit beings only.

The 2nd premise is that in Genesis chapter one, God says in verse 24,
"...Let the earth produce living creatures according to their 'kinds'...".
That means that A fish can not produce with a bird. And a man cannot produce with an animal -- or a demon.
All creatures on the earth produce only according to their 'kind'.
God alone is the Creator. Demons and angels do not have the power to create, so they could not have re-created, or reproduced with human beings. If these were a separate race created by demons reproducing with men -- which would not be something God created -- then I believe God would have made it clear that the demon-men were being destroyed along with the regular men.
But God only says that He will destroy MAN who he created in Genesis 6.

If the demons were reproducing offspring with humans then, why don't we see any other instance of this in the Bible -- and why aren't they doing it today? If was done then........there is no way they would not be doing it today.
The answer, I believe, is that it simply isn't possible.
We need to be careful that we don't try to force the Bible to say what it doesn't actually say. This is how cults and false religions are started and grow. Instead, we must use proper biblical interpretation that lets the Bible say what it says, adding nothing and taking nothing away.
Remember, God is sovereign, and He set the parameters for reproduction in Genesis chapter one, and no one, and no thing can reproduce outside of His plan.
I just wanted you all to realize what you HAVE TO CHANGE IN THE BIBLE to make your thesis acceptable.
And AGAIN 3rd time. None of this is concerning the spirit of this thread!
There is however a thread at
"The Sons of God" in Genesis 6 - Who Were They? which is exactly what some of you want to talk about.
