For instance angels appeared in human form to Lot and his family during the time of Sodom, and two angels who appeared as men, and ate with Abraham and his family. If angels can take human form, are demons, fallen angels, also allowed to do this?
Or were certain limitations put on demons after they inhabited the bodies of men to have sex with human women, which produced the Nephilim(who were destroyed after the flood)?

Goodness...I've never seen so many people who don't believe in the bible, rush to respond to biblical questions. I have no interest in even reading questions about things I don't believe in. So that leads me to believe, some of you who say the bible is not true, don't really know what you believe.

I believe angels exist, as humans, they are way-showers and messengers.... they are not really special....just people that are pure enough to hear the voice of god....and follow gods lead to help....
Demons are negative entities uncomparable to angels.....
Satan was the emotion of temptation, his child is pride, and his judgment and his fear and his shame.....
these things can possess a person to do all horrible things....

We now know that you can't believe everything that you read in the Bible even though some religions say that you must. For instance, How did Noah get to the Amazon Rain Forest to gather some of the 1 million different species of insects and where did he keep them on board the Arc? The ancient people who wrote the Bible were not intelligent, they thought that the Earth was flat. We don't know what these people really saw. They didn't have the knowledge to explain it. Religion has grasped what they wrote and created an allegorical figure ( a person with wings). If a biblical person saw a person with wings they would have called it a person with wings. Religion always hides the intelligence level of biblical people. It was very low,. The illiteracy rate was 99% back then.

I have heard of many stories that would make a person believe that they still appear in person. I don't know if I have ever seen one in person, because they just look like a person, not an angel.
However I have talked to people who were in a car accident and someone came and helped them get out of the car, and no one could find them to thank them. Sounds like an angel sighting.
I am one who does not believe that the Nephilim were created by fallen angels. I know of pastors that do, but the Bible says that angels are not male or female and there is no marriage between them. The indications is the plumbing is not there.
The Bible does not explicitly say that fallen angels were the fathers of the Nephilim.
It does say that sons of God married Daughters of Man and had children that were Nephilim.
I do not consider angels to be sons of God, especially if there is no male or female among them.
I would lean to sons of God being descendants of Seth, and daughters of man to be the decendants of Cain.
In other words, I believe it is the sons of the godly and the daughters of the ungodly.
God did say that Cain had followed Satan.

I was just speaking with a friend over this very issue. It would seem if Angels could take the form of man then Demons could also but there is no Biblical evidence of it ever occuring. The Sons of God refered to in Genesis were not Demons but Angels who were punished. He showed me chapter and verse on this and I will look it up. It does seem that Angels were only allowed to take the form of God with his permission and thus Demons rely on possesion.

There is a book by Billy Graham that really gets into all of the different types of angels and what they do and have done etc. throughout the bible. Its called "Angels, Angels, Angels". Very good resource book.

I have heard of testimonies of angels appearing to people in human form. Apostle Paul wrote that angels of darkness may pretend to be angels of light. You need spiritual discernment to know which is which or witch.

Actually yes they still can, Pure blooded angels (both holy and fallen) are Not allowed to come back to earth anymore, humans taint the angels and cause them to sin.
BUT, half breed angels (Holy, the fallen don't follow rules) are still able to come to earth.
the half breed angels are: Gabriel/ Metatron/ Ezekiel.(And some more who's names i do not remember)

There is nothing in scripture to limit angel or demon activity, as for now. But demons will get there just due later. http://www.carm.org/questions/sex_angels.htm
