First thanks you for your reply.
second you said, "SONS OF GOD also indicates humans, but keeping it in the context of Job 38 I say it means angels".
first off no angel is never called a "son" of God in which is a title. supportive scripture,
Hebrews 1:5 "For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
is not Genesis 6:2, 6:4, a time, then they are not angels, nor in Job 38. here in Job God is using a metaphor
lets get the correct usage of Job 38.
Job 38:7 "When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
I'm going to give you the answer first and then prove it in scriptures. the Morning Stars are the actual stars in the heavens, and the sons of God here in Job 38 are the sun and the moon....
let's prove it out. if you will go with me first to the book of James an establish the foundation.
James 1:17 "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning".
here God is called the "FATHER" of LIGHTS. you can go to the blue letter bible online and look up Father which is the Greek work, G3962 πατήρ pater (pa-teer') or you can use the Thayer's Greek Definitions and examine definition #3, which states,
3. God is called the Father
a. of the stars, the heavenly luminaries, because he is their creator, upholder, ruler
say what! the "STARS" yes, the actual stares in the heavens, but what about the heavenly luminaries?, while you're online just go to Dictionary.com and type in "luminary", and this ia what you get, 1. a celestial body, as the sun or moon. UH O, ..... yes, the actual sun and moon, the heavenly luminaries. now ypu know that God in Job was using a metaphor, for I know you're going to say well the morning stars "sang", and the sons of God "shouted" for joy.
well lets see, Psalms 148:1 "Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights. Verse 2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts. 3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light. 4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. 5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created”.
Now what do the word praise mean here? It is the Hebrew word, H1984 הָלַל halal (haw-lal') v. which can be translated as “sing”, or “shine”. See the stars, the sun and the moon sang or praised God by shining their lights at the creation. I know "they shouted for joy", a metaphor, lets have it. Psalms 65:13 "The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing”. The pastures, and valleys also praising God? Yes, how? by shouting for joy and singing. It’s all a metaphor. Do we now understand.
Job 38 are full of Metaphors, that's all. no the sons of God is not Lucifer = "light-bearer", which he just bear the Light and is NOT the Light. nor was it any angels at creation either. so the sons of God here in Job 38 are the "ACTUAL" stars in the heavens, and the "sun and the moon".
be blessed.
You're really complicating this. Sons of God are sometimes humans and sometimes angels. In Job 1:6 they are angels, and in Genesis 6 they are also (fallen) angels.
Job 1:6
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
