I am amazed that people like John MacArthur discard Gen 6 as useless (he says the Sons of God were just "great" men).

A lot of Christians believe in the “angels could never mate with humans’ category though they ignore the actual translations from the Hebrew (ie strongs concordance or other sources.) as to what these “Sons of God” were. The Hebrew description in Gen 6 matches that of the Hebrew “sons of God” in the book of Job and the Hebrew term only appears twice. These Christians will try to minimize any kind of supernatural caused activity whether of the Holy Spirit or of devils. They need the universe to be calm and orderly and for God to be somewhat “distanced” from his creation with he in his lane and humans in our lane.
Some so called religious leaders who scoff at the “angel” mating” theory may not be scoffers at all but have their own dark reasons for bottling up such hybridization discussions...depending on the various Masonic or Luciferic or Illuminati affiliations they have. Any Christian with the light of God inside might bring enough attention to what Satan is doing now potentially with the human genome(whether with direct demonic means and/or unwitting human scientist dupes) to give away the game and to cause a great set back in Satan’s evil schemes. So the subject gets shushed and/or Christians get called kooks when they bring the subject up or get called “enemies of science”.
It seems no surprise to me that MacArthur looks at Gen 6 the way he does. I hesitate to ascribe to him any evil intent but Gen 6 is pretty black and white that Evil Angels left their domain and messed with human females and were chained and imprisoned for it in the deepest of hell(Tartarus is the word used) as described in Jude 1:6. Old guard guys like MacArthur just can’t imagine that Angels would have the power and means to do what they did directly with human woman; some display an almost victorian sense of disgust that some Christians would even “imagine” the idea of an angel mating with a woman.
The real truth is the Bible doesn’t really say what various angels’ limits are(with or without Godly light) but what little we do know suggests that at least some can transform into what ever or pretty much do with matter and with their own internal energies whatever they want to do.
