DAVEH:  Thanx for your reply, Christine.  I hope somebody else will give me some insight as to how non-LDS folks perceive this. Christine Miller wrote: Hm. Actually, Dave, I do not know how to answer you. I remember God constantly referred to Ezekiel as "Son of Man," so there is a distinction made in the Old Testament, where "sons of God" seemed to mean angels (for instance, in Gen. 6 where the sons of God looked upon the daughters of man as fair). It seems the New Testament speaks of a spiritual adoption. However, I'm not sure I have offered a full explanation of my stance.   Are there any TTers who might wish to offer wisdom here? How do the "sons of God" in the OT differ from the "sons of God" in the NT?   Blessings  Dave Hansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: DAVEH:   Christine, how do you understand Job 1:6........ Now thee was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. ........Do you believe the sons of God are similar in context as are the children of God? Christine Miller wrote: The Bible is very clear on what it means to be a child of God and a brother of Jesus. It requires interpretation to communicate at all, but when something is stated blankly (John 1:12), how much spin can we add before we are misinterpreting? Perhaps I could have said "misinterpret" instead of "disregard," but I do believe the Mormons are genuinely ignoring the Bible's stance on this one.
