I believe the sons of God, in the Old Testament, ALWAYS referred to angels, whether fallen or unfallen.

Perhaps, but they ain't BEGOTTEN.

There is only One of them.


 It's different in the New...
 

Matt.   5:9    “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” 
Luke 20:36  “for they cannot even die anymore, because they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.” 
Rom. 8:14   “For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” 
Rom. 8:19   “For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.” 
Gal.   3:26   “For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.”

True. That be Jesus. I was referring, of course, to the “sons of God,” in the plural, as in Job, and in the OLD TESTAMENT only.
And you are spot on, it’s different in the New Testament, like in John, where it says he gave them power to become sons of God, but by adoption, as in a supernatural act of creation, where as, I believe the sons of God, in the Old Testament, literally meant a direct creation of God. Adam was also a son of God, as he was a direct creation of God. I don’t know about Eve, but she was not born either. But, you are right, it’s different in the New Testament. 👍
As I said before, it could take weeks to hash this all out. We don’t have the time. 🤗
