Has anyone heard of the Anakites? you know those giants in the Bible who were always after the Israelites. My Bible teacher I were disagreeing if they where the children of demons and human women based off of this verse Genesis 6:2 http://www.biblegateway.com/cgi-bin/bible?passage=GEN+6:2&language=english&version=NIV&showfn=on&showxref=on
and i was wondering what your thoughts are? Can angels take human form?
your thoughts?

the Anakites
If something is precious to you...no matter how painful or how hard it seems, no matter what it may cost you, you have to hang in there and protect it with all the strength you got even at the risk of your own life. If you do that, then even if you die in the attempt, at least the world will be left with the proof that a man worth living had died!
It'd be like your legacy.

ok maybe that didn't make much sense I was wondering if you think the anikim are the sons of demons? just look up the anakites in your concordance and you might have read the frank perreti book the tombs of anak(thats mostly where i'm getting my question from)

This probably borders on theological discussion and should be taken to Theology web.

Hmm...do you mean, were the Anakites sons of demons who married human women?
I don't know if that's possible.

Money, get away
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay
And all and all you're just another brick in the wall
Shoutin’ in the street gonna take on the world some day
But Bismallah will not let me go
Because I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
Bright eyes burning like fire
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids
Who will love a little Sparrow
Who's traveled far and cries for rest
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all
And if the band youre in starts playing different tunes
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you!

The nephillim (half-angels) based on the verse in Genesis is very controversial... Besides that, it is sure to open up OTHER cans of worms (like literal versus metaphorical... ugh) SO, yeah, I guess it would be best to not discuss this here... Though I love this topic, myself.

This is a Scripture that needs to be viewed very closely with it's context. First one must remember that angels do not marry. Jesus said in Matthew 22:30:
"At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven."
Therefore, if the words of Jesus are true (and they are) Genesis 6:2, "the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose." could not be talking about angels.
So the question remains, who are the sons of God and the daughters of men. Note the context of Chapter 5 which speaks at length about the descendants of Adam. We are then taken to chapter 6 which discusses the wickedness of mankind. The wickedness is the result of intermarriage between two groups. One of these groups has just been talked about in Chapter 5. These are the descendants of Seth (sons of God). One group is not discussed for good reason, the wickedness of the family line. These would be the decendants of Cain (daughters of men). With the intermarriage of these two family lines, wickedness was the result, a wickedness so great that God could no longer tolerate it and thus the resulting flood of Genesis 6.
The Nephilim were in no way a result of this intermarriage. The writer of Genesis uses their presence as a historical marker for the reader. Goliath of the account of David and Goliath is believed to be a descendant of this race of people.
Angels, God's messangers can indeed take on human form. Abraham entertained God's messangers at his tent where they stayed and ate with him. The writer of Hebrews tells us that angels can take on such a form that we would not be able to distinguish them from humans:
"Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.:
Hebrews 13:2
"At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven."
