Job 1:6 is speaking of men
So Men"joined God in heaven", and were accompanied by satan??? I wish I had an imagination like that!!!!

Agreed. That IS one of the popular theological theories. I was taught that, in Southern baptist "new coverts class", 60 years ago (along with the "ICE SHIELD" that supposedly covered the entire earth in Noah's time, provided the water for the flood, AND filtered out the UV radiation from the sun, explaining the extended lifespans of the antediluvians). Southern Baptists had an answer for everything in 1963.
May our will be bent to God rather than trying to bend God to fit what our own wills want.[/QUOTE]
Wait What? Im not the one saying they were in heaven and Im the one with the imagination
Great point
, if in prayer we ask for help in bending our will to align with Gods will, we become more and more Christ like as we mature and will find the idea and the thought of fornication abhorrent, if we find it abhorrent then its easy to observe the contradiction to then fixate upon the act in heaven.
True, the Book of Job does - unless you believe that the 1:6 convocation happened on Earth.
I looked up the word convocation which is an assembly of persons called together to a meeting. um yeah I believe the 1:6 meeting was on earth, Job like Abel, Seth and Noah offered a lamb on the alter a sweet smelling aroma to God, is there a verse I can read that shows why you think they meet in heaven?
Job 1:6 was in heaven, look at Job 1:7.
One day the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them. 7“Where have you come from?” said the LORD to Satan. “From roaming through the earth,” he replied, “and walking back and forth in it.”…Job 1:6-7
Same Verses but in Hebrew:
וַיְהִ֣י הַיּ֔וֹם וַיָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים לְהִתְיַצֵּ֖ב עַל־יְהֹוָ֑ה וַיָּב֥וֹא גַֽם־הַשָּׂטָ֖ן בְּתוֹכָֽם׃
One day the divine beings presented themselves before the LORD, and the Adversary-a came along with them.
וַיֹּ֧אמֶר יְהֹוָ֛ה אֶל־הַשָּׂטָ֖ן מֵאַ֣יִן תָּבֹ֑א וַיַּ֨עַן הַשָּׂטָ֤ן אֶת־יְהֹוָה֙ וַיֹּאמַ֔ר מִשּׁ֣וּט בָּאָ֔רֶץ וּמֵֽהִתְהַלֵּ֖ךְ בָּֽהּ׃
The LORD said to the Adversary, “Where have you been?” The Adversary answered the LORD, “I have been roaming all over the earth.”
Oh so nothing that specifically says that this happens in heaven, you assume that it is. Since this is one verse in isolation and somewhat ambiguous do you have any other verse's or reasons to support this?
In verse 5 Job sends for and sanctifies for his children, so the context to me is Job and his family(sons of God) are gathered together often in a place and then one particular day Satan also comes in among them.
