In Hebrew, in the OT, it does translate as “sons of God” in many places where it’s talking about angels, including in Job 38. I’m okay with someone thinking it was translated poorly into English and should read “angels” rather than “sons of God.” But in that case, the disputed verse in Genesis would ALSO have to be changed from sons of God to angels, wouldn’t it…? We are talking about the OT here, and what is considered an imperfect translation into English, right?

My Lord "God" is Omnipresent, I'm before his footstool presently as I write

Isaiah 66:1KJV
Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?

Grasping at straws are we?

Again, all humans that are led by and follow God, they are the sons of God, old and new testament, you don't define the "The Sons Of God" scripture below does

As you gave been clearly shown, in the old testament

Romans 8:14KJV
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

I have already agreed that all that are Christians are the sons and daughters of God.

There is not enough information in the Bible to come to an informed conclusion.

All that is left is speculation.

God doesn't live behind a big curtain in the land of Oz, the straw would be found in a character within the production of fantasy and imagination :D

And the assumption, speculation, and imagination, of your "Holy Court In Heaven" not seen or mentioned in scripture :D

LOL Enough of this. I guess you do not think God has a throne or holy court?
Biblically speaking you cannot prove anything and neither can I.
So it is a waist of time to keep this up.

Never said the sons of God were angels. Again you have proven nothing in relation to this event.

Fact is, I have biblically proved your claim false

Again, all humans that are led by and follow God, they are the sons of God, old and new testament, you don't define the "The Sons Of God" scripture below does

Romans 8:14KJV
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

That scripture has nothing to do with this event, so you have proven nothing.

It's your opinion that the Bibles definition of "The Sons Of God" below has no relationship to the old testament "The Sons Of God"

It's my opinion and observation of scripture they are one and the same, humans on earth, led by the very same Lord God

We Disagree

Romans 8:14KJV
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

I did not say that. Do you guys all go to the same school of twisting the truth?
What are you trying to say? Of course the story of the sons of God is in the Old Testament.
But it still does not prove anything other than that.
One the Bible does not define who the sons of God are.
Two the story itself is not well defined.
Three all we know about them from Genesis and Job is that, at times they presented themselves before God.
Four there is no indication that God had any issues with them.

Scripture below clearly defines "The Sons Of God" as being humans on earth that are led by and follow God, same God in the old testament as the new testament

"The Sons Of God" in Job 1:6 presented themselves before the Lord, they were followers of God, just as all followers of God described below

Jesus Is The Lord

Romans 8:14KJV
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

So you are going to be adding words to the scriptures? LOL

And again the sons of God that Romans refer to has nothing to do with the stories in Genesis and job.

You have proved nothing.

Not one word has been added to the scripture as you "falsely claim", as you have been shown in post #148 as in Job 1:6 (The Sons) Hebrew word (Ben) doesn't represent heavenly beings or Angel(s) as you believe and teach, the Hebrew word (Malak) represents the English (Angel)
