We will be speaking of Spiritual warfare with a Spiritual enemy here. Our Spiritual enemy has many names and many disguises. Let’s start by identifying our enemy.

Spiritual enemy has always been Satan who is a created Spirit who is also called the prince of the power of the air, Ephesians 2:1-3.

Sons of God in Job 1:6 and Job 2:1 can not be angels in these verses especially when Satan who is an angel just as the other fallen angels that were cast out of Gods heaven and are in everlasting chains (not literal chains) under darkness unto the judgment of the great day, Jude 1:6, but Satan has not yet been thrown out of heaven and does travel between earth and heaven accusing the brethren before the Lord. Under darkness means hid from the face of God as never able to approach Him as they were cast down to earth and have no more access to Gods heavenly realm. Read Hebrews 1:5-8; Psalms 104:4, God never called any of His angel’s sons. Jesus is Gods only begotten son and the angels were ministering spirits. We who believe and are followers of God are brothers and sisters with Christ and sons and daughters of God. Satan believes in God, but is not a follower or worshipper of Him. The phrase sons of God is used four times in the OT and seven times in the New Testament. Every time sons of God is used it describes followers, believers and worshipers of God. (Genesis 6:2, 4; Job 1:6; Job 38:7; Hosea 1:10; John 1:12; Romans 8:14, 8:19 Gal 4:6; I John 3:12)

Those sons of God in Job 1:6; 2:1 that presented themselves before the Lord are followers of God just as Moses followed and worshipped God and was called of God to present himself before Him on mount Sinai, Exodus 34:2. Read Job 1:6 again. It says Satan came also among them when they went to present themselves before the Lord. This means Satan was there like he is with all of Gods children to try and buffet them. If you go back to vs. 5 you read that it was Job who sent his sons (sons of God) to go and be in the presence of the Lord that God would sanctify them. Satan, being a spirit that Job's sons could not see came amongst them as a buffer trying to interfere with God sanctifying them. When God asked Satan where he came from he said from going to and fro in the earth and from walking up and down in it.

If you break down Genesis 6:1-8 You can see that those sons of God were not angels as angels are spirit and can not procreate nor are given in marriage, Matthew 22:30; Mark 12:25. 1Corinthians 15:39, 40 states that men are men, animals are animals, fish are fish and angels are angels. There is no scripture which would even remotely lead us to believe angels had sex with women or that Giants were born of them.

Genesis 6:4 speaks of giants being in the land, but never mentions that they took them wives of the daughters of men, buy says that when the sons of God (Godly line of Seth) came unto the daughters of men (Cain’s ungodly line) they bare children to them. These same children (from the line of Cain) became mighty men (giants) which were of old (before the flood) and men of renown in the sense that they were the ungodly princes, the conquerors, the heroes of those days and also after the flood being born from the line of Ham through his son Canaan, Genesis 9:20-27.

They were called giants in the sense that they were very tall men in stature such as Og in Joshua 12:4 Goliath was a Philistine of great stature (giant) being a descendant of the Anakim, 2 Samuel 21:15-22 Numbers 13:3-33 the spies were sent out and came back with a report which included them seeing the sons of Anak who were Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai which come from giants as the spies looked like grasshoppers compared to the size of these men. Anakim are a race of giants descended from Anak. They dwelt in the south of the land of Canaan, near Hebron, Josh. 15:13. According to Genesis 14:5-6 the Rephaims who were giants in whom Og, the King of Bashan, was one of the last survivors of the Rephaim inhabited the region afterwards known as Edom and Moab in the days of Abraham.

Sons of God
Gods word does not tell the details of everything that happened in heaven or with angles. We have been programmed (brainwashed) to follow mainstream theology that sometimes prevents us from analyzing the facts of specific subjects, topics and events. If we can put aside the information provided by others and look at the facts presented to us we can then prove the truth. In most cases the truth will agree with what we have been taught. However, in some cases we find what we have been taught is not exactly the complete truth. Of course, you have to agree that Corrupted angels and demons are one and the same.
in this case concerning the sons of God we know for a fact that God does indeed punish angels. Consider the following Scriptures.
2 Peter 2:4 (KJV) For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
2 Peter 2:10 (KJV) But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
2 Peter 2:11 (KJV) Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
2 Peter 2:15 (KJV) Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
2 Peter 2:4 (KJV) For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
here are just too verses from the book of Job they should prove the term sons of God are in fact angels.
Job 1:6 (KJV) Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
Here in Job 2 the sons of God presented themselves before the Lord again. However, take note that at this time Job’s children were killed by a tornado previously so how can the sons of God in Job 1 and in Job to be the children of Job praying to the Lord from earth?
Job 2:1 (KJV) Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.

Matthew 22:30 (KJV) For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
Jesus is explaining conduct in heaven by angelical’s which has not been corrupted. Take note that the Corrupted angels are evicted from heaven and punished.
1Corinthians 15:39, 40 ; one type of creation is not like another kind, agreed it is sinful for one type to lay with another of a different kind. However as you know humans and angels when Corrupted by Satan will do the most wicked of evil things. Agreed humans and animals cannot naturally produce offspring. Therefore in theory Corrupted angels and humans should not be able to produce offspring. However back in the time before the flood maybe angels and humans could appropriate and that the time of the flood God took away many of the angelical abilities that they previously had. Many of the details concerning heaven and the powers of evangelicals are not discussed in God’s word.
Genesis 6:3 (KJV) And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
Genesis 6:4 (KJV) There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

The main premise of the document The Enemy is to identify the enemy as Satan and the fact that he can corrupt both humans and angels. This fact is undisputed no matter how anyone wants to spin the details of exactly whom Satan has corrupted. I have no problem with if anyone believes the sons of God are angels or not. This detail does little to persuade or block a person’s salvation which is the main purpose of God’s word.
Here’s some interesting information that proves how we are programmed or brainwashed into believing things which are not true.
Our government through the department of education has changed the wording in our history books to teach our children that the reason for the Civil War was because of slavery. This is not true the Civil War started because the federal government wanted to exercise more control over the policies and governments of the states. Slavery was a secondary factor to motivate the support of the people in the northern states.
I enjoy the feedback & exploring the different points of view / interpretations.
Thank you for your input
God bless.

I'm not brainwashed into believing anyone's theology nor everything that comes out of the pulpit. There is only one truth and that is given to us by the Holy Spirit in all truths. It's up to each one of us to Spiritually discern that of what others try to teach us.

Angels are essentially “ministering spirits,” (Hebrews 1:14) and do not have physical bodies like humans. Jesus declared that “a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have” (Luke 24:37-39).

The Bible classifies some angels as “elect” (1 Timothy 5:21) or “holy” (Matthew 25:31; Mark 8:38). All angels were created to be holy, enjoying the presence of God (Matthew 18:10) and the beauty of heaven (Mark 13:32).

Other angels oppose God under the leadership of Satan (Isaiah 14:12-20) whom even Satan is a created spirit of God that is why God could never destroy him because a spirit can not die. (Matthew 25:41; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude1: 6; Ephesians 6:12). We often call these types of angels demons for which an everlasting fire is prepared by God for these angels.

Angels have no gender (Matthew 22:30) and are innumerable (Hebrews 12:22). They are incarnate in human form at times (Genesis 18:2-8) for the purpose of ministry. Angels also express emotions (Luke 15:10), are wise (2 Samuel 14:20) and powerful (Psalms 103:20).

Know that your enemy is Satan who works through others to teach a deceptive gospel who will also deceive by lying signs and wonders that causes a great falling away from truth before the return of Christ.

We have been programmed (brainwashed) to follow mainstream theology

That is a very common line among crackpots and self- anointed Bible geniuses who want to peddle the product of their imaginations and appear to be somebody worth listening to.

It is also an accurate description of much of the teaching of the church.
We are taught that death and hell are the punishment for sin. That is false.
The wages of sin is death, not the punishment for sin.
Sin separates us from God who alone has life by essence. Separated from the only source of life, we die.
Those who go to hell do so because they choose to satisfy their own desires rather than to serve God thereby rejecting the lordship of Christ and accepting the lordship of the devil who entices man to follow his lusts.

We are taught that Jesus dies because only He was a sufficiently worthy sacrifice to satisfy the demands of divine justice and assuage God's wrath toward mankind. That is false.
Satan caused Eve and Adam to sin by deceit. They had never heard a lie before and were too naive to question the serpents statements. Thus they were entrapped by deceit.
Jesus died and rose again to destroy the power of death and, thereby, disarm Satan whose power was in the ability to entice men to sin and earn death. Only a sinless man could do that and only a new creation, a God-man, could be sinless.

We are taught that salvation is by faith alone without any requirement for good works. That is false.
Faith without good works is dead faith that cannot save anyone. It is not even faith; it is mere agreement that God is God and He does whatever He wills. Even Satan agrees with that but has sense enough to be afraid. No one will be saved by "works of the law" because the Law was not designed to save. But neither will anyone be saved who does not obey Christ who commanded that we love God, one another, our neighbors and even our enemies. Christ also said to let our good works shine so that men will see our good works and praise God. A disciple of Christ is one who obeys Christ.

just thinkin out loud....

In this post you accurately cite that angels have been "incarnate in human form at times," yet you maintain the Genesis 6 thing couldn't possibly be angels because there's no basis in Scripture for Angels having bodies. These two positions are incongruent with each other. Not that it's Salvific, by any means.

Angels can not take on human form of themselves as only God can give them human form for the purpose of ministering to us like that of Genesis 18:2-8 and Genesis 19. God would never give His angels human form to have sex with women as this would go against what is written in Colossians 3:5 that all are to mortify themselves from doing as these things are in disobedience to God.

paul tells us about are spiritual warfare Ephesians 6:12 12 For our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world powers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens. .they call it " spiritual " warfare not a physical warfare that could lead up to a physical fight / a black eye fat lip and or a bloody nose. we can not see the spirit .this warfare likes in get into our head /mind
Christian Warfare
10 Finally, be strengthened by the Lord and by His vast strength. 11 Put onthe full armor of God so that you can stand against the tactics[g] of the Devil. spiritual armor the word of God with the power of the spirit *** joyce myers wrote a book many years ago battle field of the mind . we are told to trust in the Lord ... having a tough time and trying to trust in the Lord to take care of this.. we want to fix it our way .there are evil spirits lurking around paul said to be sober be vigilant for our adversary is as a roaring lion walking around seeing who he can devour . the roar is the spirit of fear which is used to bring fear and paralyze . just like if we walked up on a rattle snake.. we would stop and very carefully move away. so it does not bite us . the whole Armour is to move forward in battle . i dont care who you are we all experience warfare and we all have trouble fighting .

Gods power and authority is what helps us to stand against the principalities of darkness of this world so we can continue in the ministry of Jesus as when we first asked him into our hearts this created a new inner man or Spiritual man whom is no longer part of this world, nor should he or she conform themselves to this world. We may have to live in this world and as a servant of God Satan will try anything he can to silence Gods word in us, but we need not fear what Satan or this world can do to us as we have Gods Spirit dwelling in us and guiding us and God will see us through all the trials and tribulations that can come against us to bring us out victorious in his name.
