There were true angel-men in the Bible ... Genesis 6. At least that's the interpretation I buy for the "sons of God" who took the "daughters of men" as wives. The result was giants and probably the trigger event for the Flood.
Then there is the story of Satan entering Judas. Not an angel-man, but a man possessed at least temporarily by an angel.
And then there's Peter who Jesus told, "Get the behind me Satan." Here it could have been somewhat figurative, but the fact is Jesus saw Satan's hand at least in Peter's words.
And of course who can forget Moses' terrifying experience of throwing down his rod and discovering it was inhabited by a serpent? Who'da thunk it? Not a human-angel mingling, but something quite close.
It appears there are levels of angelic-human mingling: body, soul, and maybe even spirit.
