Just a lamentation, Christine. Your dad is, IMO, in
the business of offering explanations for passages. I rarely engage in such, as
all on TT know, due to the fact the nobody every changes their mind.

Lance, are you offering an explanation to the passage or just a
lamentation? Tell us what you think.

Ooh like the tower? :-)
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!
