Job 1:6\u2014Who are the sons of God mentioned in this verse?\n\nProblem: The introduction of Satan into the story of Job takes place before the throne of God. Satan comes before God among a group identified as \u201cthe sons of God.\u201d But, who are these sons of God?\n\nSolution: These are angels. Several other passages in the Bible refer to angels as the sons of God, such as Job 2:1 and Job 38:7 (cf. Pss. 29:1 and 89:6 where the Hebrew uses the phrase \u201csons of God\u201d). The angels are the \u201csons\u201d of God in the sense that they are His creation. (Also \n\n### Extended Answer from Is there a Bible contradiction in Genesis 6:2?\n\n## Genesis 6:2\u2014Were the \u201cSons of God\u201d angels who married women?\n\nProblem: The phrase \u201csons of God\u201d is used exclusively in the OT to refer to angels (Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:7). However, the NT informs us that angels \u201cneither marry nor are given in marriage\u201d (Matt. 22:30). Furthermore, if angels married, their children would be half human and half angel. But, angels cannot be redeemed (Heb. 2:14\u201316; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6).\n\nSolution: There are several possible interpretations other than insisting that angels cohabited with humans.\n\nSome Bible scholars believe \u201csons of God\u201d refers to the godly line of Seth (from whom the redeemer was to come\u2014Gen. 4:26), who intermingled with the godless line of Cain. They point out that (a) this fits the immediate context, (b) it avoids the problems with the angels view, and (c) it accords with the fact that humans are also referred to in the OT as God\u2019s \u201csons\u201d (Isa. 43:6).\n\nOther scholars believe that \u201csons of God\u201d refers to great men of old, men of renown. They point to the fact that the text refers to \u201cgiants\u201d and \u201cmighty men\u201d (v. 4). This also avoids the problems of angels (spirits) cohabiting with humans.\n\nStill others combine these views and speculate that the \u201csons of God\u201d were angels who \u201cdid not keep their proper domain\u201d (Jude 6) and possessed real human beings, moving them to interbreed with \u201cthe daughters of men,\u201d thus producing a superior breed whose offspring were the \u201cgiants\u201d and \u201cmen of renown.\u201d While various views exist, traditional Christianity strongly favors the first view, identifying the "sons of God" as the godly line of Seth.
