Angels and People?
Somewhere in the Bible it tells how God delt with Angels that came to earth and inpregnated humans. Could someone please tell me where that is. (Book & chapter)
Thanks!

Genesis 6:1-4 addresses this. In the NIV, which is an interpretation rather than a translation, this episode is more as you describe it. NIV refers to these sons of god as angels.
The New American Bible, a translation, refers to them as sons of god. The Catholic footnotes explain that these are mythological beings incorporated here to make a parable explaining the ever-increasing evil of mankind leading to the flood and ultimate destruction of almost the entire human race.
The parable is also used to explain the Nephilim whom the Israelites encountered in Palestine. They believed them to be giants.

Genesis 6, I believe. They gave birth to half-human/half-angel beings refered to as the Nephelim. Some biblical scholars have hypothesized that Goliath was a descendant of the Nephelim.
