There are a variety of understandings
for Satan in Job, the serpent in Genesis, the Nephilim in Genesis and on
and on...........Why it is that some balk at my little formula continues to
puzzle me when, IMO, all TT participants demonstrate it's accuracy regularly.
(Text + believer + Spirit + tradition (optional) = theological
Babel)

DAVEH: Thanx for your reply, Christine. I hope
somebody else will give me some insight as to how non-LDS folks perceive
this.

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?
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?

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.
Blessings!
