I can not add to what has already been said <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/hairout.gif" alt="" /> but I will post this anyway. I believe the scriptures teach that God blesses and preserves (and will do so till the last day) His covenant promise (contained in division #1) made to man in Genesis 3:15 thru a godly line (
the sons of God) the ungodly line (
the sons of men) are left to their sin to suffer His righteous judgments. There is no third "line".
Just a small example of this idea is in Arthur Pink's book "
Gleaning in Genesis" in which he divides Genesis up into 11 divisions. Each division has a beginning and an end. I have listed 5 and edited and condensed them. I realize this does not prove that angels did not have sexual intercoarse with humans.
. . . The thought to which we would now call attention is that each of these divisions ends (we use the word reletively) with a picture that portrays the effects and results of sin. -Pink-
