...but as one of God's angels, one the "sons of God" whom God summons and converses, even consults.

Do you know what the word "Satan" means? It's not a name.

The word ha satan (the accuser) is a title in the OT. Christians, however, made it into a personaled evil whose name is "Satan." Just another another example how Judaic concepts were twisted and reinterpreted for doctrinal purposes. Anointed one is the word Christ (Greek christos, which means the anointed). The correct useage of the term is Jesus the Christ, or better yet Jesus the Anointed, but Paul made it into a personal name.
