And what precisely does Job 2:1 has to do what is recorded in Job 5:1 or Psalms?

First it was meant to show that these terms are applied to angels and not to humans in Job 5:1 (the LXX says "holy angels"), just as other terms, such as in Job 2:1 the terms "sons of God" also apply to angels and not men. Second, it was meant to reiterate that nowhere in the bible does it say that all those who believe are "holy" or "saints" — except those written or influenced by +Paul, such as Acts, making it his personal innovation that no one used before or after him.

Evidently the perspective noted is one that is convinced that

GOD ALMIGHTY—LORD AND CREATOR OF ALL THAT IS

Could not or would not ON HIS OWN AUTHORITY have

DARED

to have chosen to have spoken through Paul anything unique?

Personally, I wouldn’t

DARE

To put ALMIGHTY GOD

In such a tiny tidy little box.
