Well, I agree that fallen angel punishment can be found elsewhere in Scripture. BUT (and it’s a big but), not in the Gen 6 text they didn’t. Clearly, angels received zero punishment in Gen 6. That’s my point.
And furthermore, where does the text say fallen angels trifled with earthly women in Gen 6? It says “When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them…”
No demon breeding there.
“
And they took as their wives any they chose.”
[Which of course the “they” here is the Sons of God phrase you allege means demons. Only if you presuppose “sons of God” means fallen angels, can you say they “trifled” with women. But that’s the point we’ve been making to you. You are using circular reasoning to “justify” your private conclusion.]
And it says:
“when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them.”
[which would have been a perfect place for Moses to have said ‘and they bore ½ breed children to them’, if that’s what he meant. He DOES NOT.]
And it says:
“5 The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”
[which would have, once again, been a perfect place for Moses to have recorded the Lord seeing not just man’s wickedness but the demon’s as well. Note, that if “the Sons of God” was the entity doing evil (which they were, right there in the very preceding verse) then this text tells you the wickedness was OF MAN = Sons of God = taking any wife they chose. Oh, but I forgot, you say “Sons of God” means demons.]
What's the saying in crime investigation? Follow the money. Follow the punishment here.

No, brother I have not alleged that they were demons. The word never exited my fingertips. No one can really agree on what the term "Sons of God" mean in the passage, so I am going by the scripture and the Concordance and it's definitions. I am not making anything up. I do not think I am using circular reasoning, I will show you how I am coming to the definition which at this time how I am using it. Ok?
Genesis 6:4 "Sons of God" taken to Strongs Concordance reads like this directly:
The Sons (H1121)
בּן
bên
bane
From H1129; a son (as a builder of the family name), in the widest sense (of literal and figurative relationship, including grandson, subject, nation, quality or condition, etc., (like H1, H251, etc.): - + afflicted, age, [Ahoh-] [Ammon-] [Hachmon-] [Lev-]ite, [anoint-]ed one, appointed to, (+) arrow, [Assyr-] [Babylon-] [Egypt-] [Grec-]ian, one born, bough, branch, breed, + (young) bullock, + (young) calf, X came up in, child, colt, X common, X corn, daughter, X of first, + firstborn, foal, + very fruitful, + postage, X in, + kid, + lamb, (+) man, meet, + mighty, + nephew, old, (+) people, + rebel, + robber, X servant born, X soldier, son, + spark, + steward, + stranger, X surely, them of, + tumultuous one, + valiant[-est], whelp, worthy, young (one), youth./(Strongs as used through E-Sword)
of God (H430)
אלהים
'ĕlôhı̂ym
el-o-heem'
Plural of H433; gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme God; occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates; and sometimes as a superlative: - angels, X exceeding, God (gods) (-dess, -ly), X (very) great, judges, X mighty./(Strongs/E-Sword)
As compared to a reference from the New Testament of "Sons of God" when speaking of believers;
John 1:12
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:/(KJV)
the sons (G5043)
τέκνον
teknon
tek'-non
From the base of G5098; a child (as produced): - child, daughter, son./(Strongs/E-Sword)
of God (G2316)
θεός
theos
theh'-os
Of uncertain affinity; a deity, especially (with G3588) the supreme Divinity; figuratively a magistrate; by Hebraism very: - X exceeding, God, god [-ly, -ward]./(Strongs/E-Sword)
It would seem clear that sons has essentially the same meaning. The term "of God" would seem to be quite different and has no mention of Angels or anything of the sort in it's Greek definition. It's talking about different things. This is straight out of scripture and the Concordance brothers and sisters. This is no conjecture. Am I missing something here? I am trying to get a handle on this and understand it, and in no way am I saying believe me, or learn this, I am asking questions. The term apparently can not be agreed upon, and yet, it is almost as if some are taking the position that I am to disregard what I am reading for a mans conjecture. I am asking questions, and am getting the vibe that people are getting offended. For questions! I don't understand that.
I also went to Job 1 and read about when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord etc., and it took me to exactly the same definition(s) in the Hebrew that it did in Genesis 6. Exactly. Now no man or noble from earth went before the Lord to ask permission to torment Job. These were angelic beings. I stand ready to be competently corrected if I am wrong.
