We have proven the adversary (Satan) to be human and divine but no evidence in this thread of an abhorrent evil being inferred.
Your Job 38:7 reference is correctly identified as angles however the setting up of Job as the wealthiest men in the east and worshippers (sons of God) presenting themselves before the Lord has Job in view and the adversary who is envious at his standing in the community. Stronger context for human Sons and human adversary.
Genesis 6:2 where “Sons of God” is used of Seth’s human offspring intermarrying with unbelievers is further supported by the Targums and the Rabbinic literature are unanimous in viewing the 'sons of God' as human beings.
The rest of your comments regarding being’s created anew has nothing to do with the classification which God give as “Sons”…Adam, Seth’s lineage, Children of Israel, all are called Sons of God.
Not hard.
This type of jumping from one book, chapter and verse to another makes gross assumptions especially if you have clearly understood the context.
For example:
- No super evil being mentioned in Gen 3
- No super evil being mentioned in Job 1-2
- No super evil being mentioned in Rev 12
Lesson: You cannot take a Bible narrative and twist it into some fanciful story without having that implied narrative somewhere detailed in the Bible…preferably near the beginning and not at the end.
Further to this...
The Job narrative has the adversary in opposition to Job, not God…don’t you remember them having an amicable discussion about Job….which again supports the human worshippers of God among whom one is jealous at Jobs position before the Lord.
We all know do we?….and where is this account?
1 Timothy 3:6 He must not be a recent convert or he may become arrogant and fall into the punishment that the devil will exact. those outside the faith, so that he may not fall into disgrace and be caught by the devil’s trap.
Boy you make it hard! This is speaking about overseers and deacons who should not be exalted to places of authority too young else they may not handle the responsibility and become prideful. Such a one can easily fall into an accusers trap (human).
“Thy will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven”
God’s will is done in Heaven already - that's the whole point of God's unquestionable Holiness.
If your reward is “angelic nature” and you believe that promised spirit nature can sin…(wow) you have some mighty issues/hurdles to overcome.
Remember its flesh nature which is the sole source of sin - the Spirit is only pure and holy. James 1:13-15; Mark 7:20-23 cf. Jeremiah 17:9.
