21 | Who were the son's of God in Job? | Gen 6:4 | Ron | 311 | ||
The "sons of God" who were the descendants of Seth were righteous people. The "sons of God" in Job 1:6 also refers to righteous people (people who worshiped God.) Job may have been among "the sons of God" who came to present themselves before Him since God asks Satan about Job in the context of this passage. The word translated son in verse 6 is the same word that is used in reference to Job's sons in verse 5. The NIV's rendering is not a literal translation. If the word is to be translated "angels" in verse 6, why not in verse 5? The NRSV renders it "heavenly beings" but the ASV, NKJV and KJV render it literally as "sons." The NRSV's rendering is not a literal translation either. I see no reason to translate this word with "angels" or "heavenly beings." The NIV NRSV's rendering seems to be another example of an "interpretation" (what the translator thought the context required) rather than a translation. Do you know of any other passage than those in Job where the NIV translates this word other than "children" or "sons"? As to the "giants" or Nephilim, the word literally means "a bully or tyrant" according to Strong's dictionary. I can see no reason to believe that the "sons of God" in Job 1:6 have anything to do with the "Nephilim" in Gen. 6:4. | ||||||
22 | Did God want borders to exist? | OT general | Ron | 209 | ||
If you are talking about divisions between God's people the answer is no. Jesus prayed for unity of all those who believe in Him through the apostles word (John 17:20-21). Paul tells us that it is God's will that we "all speak the same thing, and there there be no divisions among" us "but that" we " be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgement" (1 Corinthians 1:10). The only way we can really be united as Jesus prayed is to follow Paul's admonition or Peter's in 1 Peter 4:11 where he said, "if any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God." | ||||||
