It seems to me that in order for the Angelic-Human hybrid theory to be viable, it must answer a few questions.

First, where did they get their bodies? I understand that certain elect angels, at specific times, appeared to have bodies, and if Abraham's visitors were the Pre-Incarnate Christ, and 2 other angels, (Genesis 18) even ate. But these were *elect* angels, sent with Christ to do His bidding--namely to rescuse Lot and his family from Sodom. I have no trouble with the Lord granting temporary bodies to angels for His own purposes, but how can reprobate angels get hold on bodies?

Second, how can the term "Sons of God" be applied to *fallen* angels. I do see how it can be applied to elect angels, but I cannot see how the other can be so.

Third, the flow of Genesis 4-5 traces, very clearly, the 2 races of men, godly and ungoldy. Surely context is in favor of "Sons of God" being understood of the Covenant race.

Fourth, as the brother said earlier, it was not for a hybrid race that the flood came, but for the wickedness of *man*.

Fifth, if the flood was sent to wipe out the hybrid race, why do they persist after the flood? (Numbers 13)

It seems that this interpretation creates so many other problems. The understanding held by most reformed commentators seems to comport so much better with the passage, and the purpose of Genesis to dilineate between the 2 races of humanity, elect and reprobate.
