Can you imagine, you depend on Wikipedia and not your bible. Oga this is funny. Wikipedia is now above the bible. Wiki now defines your religion.
Sons of God are children of God.
Sons (plural) are children (plural).

How? In his divinity Jesus is equal with God the father in every aspect but in his humanity he is less than God since he is a man.

In heavenly realm, Jesus Christ is a worshipper.
Nobody is equal to his God receiving worship.

You are not making any point. What is your position? Are you saying that Angel means son in the Hebrew language? Because if that is your point we should research right now because you are completely wrong. In fact, the Hebrew translation of Angel means messenger.

Now to your question:

What is the meaning of the Hebrew lexicon of Malak?

Answer- מֲלְאָךְ mălʼâk, mal-awk'; from an unused root meaning to despatch as a deputy; a messenger; specifically, of God, i.e. an angel (also a prophet, priest

Jesus is called the second Adam he is the source of the new humanity since the old one had being corrupted by sin.
Yes. God's son Jesus Christ is 2nd Adam.

Steep:

He is the first man in the new creation but however he is God.
John 5:37 & John 3:16, Jesus Christ confirm he is not God.
Steep:


Jesus embodies two nature, the divine and the human nature, hence he is forever the God-man, he is like a bridge, a meeting point between the divine(uncreated) and man(created).
The God Almighty is not a man, John 5:37.
Steep:

He will never stop being God as well as he will never stop being man.
Oga, your faulty claim is Man made theory not holy scriptures.
Greek John 4:24 , John 5:37 & Numbers 23:19, the God Almighty (ho Theos) is not a man.
The God Almighty (ho Theos ) is NEVER flesh.


Steep:


In Jesus christ the plan of the father to have a perfect world without sin is fulfilled, hence in him the father is well pleased.
Why would God Almighty have a Father in heaven where he is Almighty?
John 3:16 & Revelation 3:12, Jesus Christ no believe you.
Trinity na scam. grin
Revelation 1:1 & Revelation 3:12, Jesus Christ is a worshipper. Confirmed.

Very soon this old creation will pass away Althose who are not in christ are part of the old creation and the new one will come, this new one is eternal.

Having done som research in the bible
I don't think the Sons of God are actually angels.

I will create a new post for it.

Genesis 6: 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose.

If the "sons of God" here meant human males, why was it specifically stated that they saw the "daughters of human"? Weren't human males observing the beauty of the daughters of other humans from the beginning?

Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.

From the Scripture, it could be clearly seen that the "sons of God" were angels (messengers) and not human males.

Seth, Enosh, Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch, etc, were all humans and they all married their fellow human beings. It was nothing strange.

So, the sons of God mentioned in the Scriptures above were messengers (angels).

The "sons of God", as used above, meant messengers (angels). It will be completely absurd for anyone to think otherwise.

Far be it from me to advise anyone to believe my own words instead of the Word of YHVH Almighty. As his saint, servant, follower and messenger, I can only teach what his Spirit instructs me, as expressly written in his Scriptures.

So far, you have not been able to show a single verse where angels were called children of God. What you did was show different translations in some it said sons of God and in 1 it said angels.

Then I love the fact that you asked who are the sons of God? One thing we learn as Christians is not to assume. We only testify on the revealed word.
Now in the revealed world who are the children or the sons of God. Every time the bible speaks of the sons of God, it was referring to men not angels.

Do you remember the Lord's prayer? Our Father who art in heaven. The bible teaches that men are the sons of God not angels
All the versions translated the verse to the best of their knowledge and NIV did the same by making it clear that the sons of God referred to in that Bible book are angels.
Do you know that the same Moses who wrote the book of Genesis wrote Job?

That aside, who are the sons of God supposed to marry @ Genesis 6:1-2 since they married the "daughters of men"?

Oh because of the "daughters of men" you got confused. I see.
In the bible, who does God call his Son? Basically, they are faithful men of God or those whom he has a convent with like the nation of Israel. So someone whom God has a convent with marries the daughter of an unbeliever that statement would be in place.

1Kings 11.1 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites:

2 Of the nations concerning which the Lord said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.

Was Solomon a son of God? Yes
Did he marry the daughters of God or the Daughters of men? You know the answer.

Before Solomon's time God gave (only the Israelites) a law not to marry from other tribes {Deuteronomy 7:3} so it's clear that Solomon disobeyed God's law. But in the case of these your sons of God and daughters of men do you have a verse in God's word where you can point to that God has a special race before the time He began calling Himself the God of Abraham the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob? Exodus 3:6

I'm asking this because it was after the release of Israelites from Egypt that they became His special people {Exodus 19:5} so do you have any scriptural backings for this your so called sons of God and their race so that we can be sure that they're not supposed to marry from among other tribes? smiley

The ONLY ONE GOD in Greek John1:1 is the God (ho Theos) the Father.
Whether in heaven or earth, every other being is a god. This is holy scriptures.

The word was a god @John1:1, that is always the rendition of John 10:33, Jesus is a god.

The bible made it clear. It only referred to men and to Jesus Christ as sons of God. If you are asking if God had followers before the children of Isreal, he surely did.
But let's assume he did not, It still does not make angels sons of God. Even today, God does not have any particular race as his sons. Even you can be a son of God even though you are not a Jew.
