Some have argued that the "sons of God' cannot refer to angels, and that the "sons of God" in fact refer to intermarriage between the descendents of godly Seth with those of the outcast Cain. This view is primarily based on the assumption that angels cannot take on physical form. However there are several accounts in scriptures where angels did indeed appear physically as "Young men" and those with whom they interacted with were not aware they were angels (ie they didn't have wings or have a heavenly "glow" arount them... or float 6 inches above the ground)

Further some say angels could not have taken on human form and performed physical functions. However, again there are accounts in scripture of angels eating and drinking (physical processes which at the very minimum would require saliva, some kind of gut and possibly intestines...). Indeed the resurrected Jesus is reported as eating some broiled fish, and many Christians are comfortable with the idea of him being in a physical body at that moment and "transforming" as he returned to heaven.

Jude seems to indicate their is a connection between the rebellious angels in Noah's day and the sexual perversion of Sodom and Gomorrah:

JUDE 1:6
And I remind you of the angels who did not stay within the limits of authority God gave them but left the place where they belonged. In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion.

... and Peter seems to indicate there was some connection between the depravity in Noah's day and spirit activity of some kind stating:

1 PETER 3:19,20
“the spirits in prison, who had once been disobedient when the patience of God was waiting in Noah’s days” , indeed the mention of Noahs days would be somewhat redundant had there been no connection between the two facts.

Does the bible ever refer to angels as "sons of God"? Yes, Job 38:7 refers to "the sons of God" observing creation and Pulpit Commentary states regarding this verse that "The sons of God" here must necessarily be the angels (see Job 1:6; Job 2:1)" {end quote}
biblehub.com/job/38-7.htm

But did Jesus not state that angels don't marry? Yes, Jesus said "At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven". Obviously Jesus was stating God's original purpose for angels who do not procreate and are not naturally sexual or gender driven. However Jude linked the rebellious spirits to "unnatural desires". The context of Jesus' words implys the "faithful" angels in heaven that kept to their god-given limits as opposed to those Jude spoke of, the rebellious demons (currently confinded to the earth) who fostered "unnatural" perversions.



CONCLUSION While there is debate about Genesis 6:2 it is mainly based on the premise that angels cannot take on human form or procreate. While the latter is true now, the scriptural evidence indicates it was not the case in the pre-flood world. Christian writers indicate there was a connection between spirit activity and the corruption of Noah's day and "sons of God" can, in some cases be a term applied to angels. It is scripturally sound therefore to conclude Genesis 6 is indeed refering to the perverted fornication of angels in human form and women, necessitating radical meansure to rectify the situation (the flood) and the subsequent prohibition of such interaction.
