1 | root word study, "sons of God" OT | Job 38:7 | fili | 50203 | ||
Why would some interpret Job 38:7, 2:1, and 1:6 sons of God as angels? How do I look up original Hebrew meaning when all it says is that it means sons, (I've looked but it doesn't say that it meant something different there as NIV translates it or as Naves says it refers to)? I'm dicussing Lucifer as Jesus' brother with a Mormon, and need some help, can someone help? | ||||||
2 | root word study, "sons of God" OT | Job 38:7 | Jesusman | 50206 | ||
The term most commonly found is "Bene" or "Ben". It carries three Common meanings. The first is in Blood relatives. My dad mated with my mom, and, nine months later, I became their son. The Second is in terms of similarities. Let me explain. I am a son of God not because God mated with my mother and I was born nine months later. Therefore, I am not a blood son. However, I am a son of God through spiritual adoption as well as because I follow God's teachings. So, I am a son of God because I follow God. The Third meaning is in terms of Heratige. Jesus was a son of David, but David did not mate with a woman and have Jesus Nine months later. Through ancestry and lineage, Jesus was a son, "Decendant", of David. Understand? Now, with that, one needs to figure out what the author is referring to. In the case of Job, I do not think that he is referring to Angels. In fact, I do not believe that "Sons of God" ever refers to angels in the Bible. I think that, in Job, "Sons of God" is referring to believers in God. When the passage refers to them being before God, I believe that is a description of Worship. Part of the reason why I hold to this is found in Hebrews 1:5. In this verse, the question is asked "To which of the angels did HE ever say, 'thou art my son, today I have begotten thee?'" The answer is "NONE!" You will never find a passage where God claims an angel to be his son. So, with that, you have proof to say that not only is Lucifer not Jesus' brother, but that Jesus is not an angel.
