Some who hold to the theory that fallen angels married women say that they did so only to corrupt the human race by procreation. However, as the context shows, the "sons of God" married the "daughters of men" because of their beauty. Therefore, since men are so taken with the female face, form and wiles, many think that angels must also be susceptible to feminine charm, (whether angels fallen with Lucifer or just falling for women). However, Jesus said there is no marriage in heaven because we will be "like the angels of God". The strong implication is that angels, whether faithful or fallen, are sexless and therefore do not marry, and as has been said, could not procreate. They couldn't sire midgets, let alone giants, whether in physique or only in prowess. The natural attractiveness of the "daughters of the men" of the Cainite line, was surely not superior to that of the "daughters of God", the women of the Sethite line, but was probably seductively enhanced by an exhibitionism and a lewd behavior which was not practiced by the "daughters of God" - until the "competition" tempted them also, contributing to the gradual degeneration of the whole race. Some think people would miss erotic love, courtship, marriage and sex in heaven, (There is none of that in hell either.); however, there will also be no temptation for one to become "one flesh" with another. Rather the children of the Kingdom will all be "one in spirit" and in holiness. The prayer of Jesus that we be one, as he and the Father are one, will be answered. The desires of the flesh will be outgrown as a childish thing at the moment we see Christ; "for we shall see him as he is" and "our vile bodies will be made like unto his glorious body". Amen!
