maybe they can take human form.But it may be in contrast to the book of Jude..The part where the devil was trying to take Moses body.Maybe to fool Israel.
What do you think the fact that certain angels can take on human form has to do the book of Jude? That book mentions the book of Enoch, and doesn't speak a word about angels taking on human form. That is in the book of Hebrews.

Blik...... Said ...They can take on human form as is told to us in Hebrews. But y then is the devil fighting 4 a body?...Jude 1:9 : Michael: when contending with the Devil about the body of Moses.....Also where is the book of Hebrews?

The Vulgate is the first time the name Lucifer is used:
Isa 14:12.. The name in red.
quomodo cecidisti de caelo lucifer qui mane oriebaris corruisti in terram qui vulnerabas gentes

In the Bible, the phrase, "sons of God" is used of angelic/divine/nonhuman intelligent beings and also of humans. However, Jesus is unique; in a classification by Himself, because He is God in the flesh.
Do you have the scriptural evidence for this?

Men penned the various books of the Bible under the inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit. As Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 3:16, All Scripture is God-breathed. :)
Does this apply to the Book of Enoch?

Yes.

Genesis 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.

You can take that as either humans or non-humans.

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.

This is likely not a group of humans.

Job 38:4-7
“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
Tell me, if you have understanding.
5 Who determined its measurements—surely you know!
Or who stretched the line upon it?
6 On what were its bases sunk,
or who laid its cornerstone,
7 when the morning stars sang together
and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

This cannot be humans.

Matthew 5:9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. "

This is fairly clearly referring to humans.

Galatians 3:26 for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith.

This definitely refers to humans.

As for Jesus being God in the flesh, that would require a much longer post, so I refer you to the thread, "Christ is God"... https://christianchat.com/bible-discussion-forum/christ-is-god.153694/

His name was Yeshua, not Emmanuel.
Each language has a name for him and each name is of equal standing to God because all languages on earth originate from God.. Do away with your hebrew bias.. It is not of God..
