You're stumbling over the translation and don't have the discipline to investigate what the Greek is really saying.

Nope. Instead, you have conveniently omitted the "even as" part which connects verse 6 to verse 7.

You know what? I've had enough of your evasiveness. You are going on ignore. Bye.

"Echad" in scripture is not solely connected to marriage. For example, it is used here to describe the unity among those who were building the tower of Babel. Not only unity in purpose, but also unity in language at that time.

Gen 11:6
And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one (echad), and they have all one (echad) language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

They had one spirit in common, none the less. A wrong spirit, sure, but the same vision, same goal, same aspirations, etc. Scripture warns us of a similar result if anyone joins himself to a harlot, that you are 'joined' with her. And likewise, that the sons of God taking wives of the daughters of men, whomever they wanted, is illustrative of their having "fallen." The distinction between children of God and men doesn't necessarily differentiate between a heavenly entity and an earthly one and it is very possibly making a distinction between those that 'called on the name of the LORD' and the godless.

That's what I'm referring to. The Greek doesn't say "even as", yet it's the linchpin of your argument. Now you sense you've been cornered and bail. OK. How can I miss you if you don't go away?
