Oh? Well then, explain why not when:

1. God created everything, which includes angels and demons (Colossians 1: 15-16).

2. Satan is an angel who is subordinate to God (Job 1: 6-7).

3. Jesus is the son of God. In the book of Job 1:6; 2:1 it seems that the sons of God are angels, both good and bad. God speaks to Satan who was among them. The context does not necessitate the position that the sons of God were only the wicked angels. Later in the book, Job 38:7, it says the sons of God shouted for joy. This seems to be a reference to the good angels.

In the remaining occurrences of the term, they are all in the New Testament and they are speaking of the good people, the godly who have trusted in God.

So, the term sons of God has two basic meanings. It refers to the angels, both good and bad, in the Old Testament. But in the New Testament, the phrase refers to believers.

Genesis 6:2

that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.

Genesis 6:4

The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

Job 38:7

When the morning stars sang together

And all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Job 1:6

Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them.

Job 2:1

Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them to present himself before the Lord.

So, Jesus is the son of God, the angels, both good and bad are the sons of God, Satan was created a good angel (and named Lucifer), but in being an angel, he is the son of God. Two sons of the same father are brothers, so Lucifer was Jesus' old man's other son.
