2. "The angels who sinned"

Two further examples in the New Testament where most translators have confused human representatives of God with immortal angels, are found in these parallel passages:

"But there were also false prophets among the people…bringing swift destruction on themselves…if God did not spare angels [here, the responsible rulers of Israel] when they sinned, but sent them to hell [the grave], putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment…." (2 Peter 2:1-4).

"…I want to remind you that the Lord delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe. And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority [the responsible rulers of Israel] but abandoned their own home [position, status]-these has he kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains [in the grave] for judgment on the great Day." (Jude :5-6).

A sinning immortal angel would be an impossibility. Another example is 1 Corinthians 11:10, where female worshippers are required to have "a sign of authority" [KJV: "power"] on their heads "because of the angels" probably meaning a head covering to indicate their married status, in the presence of the church elders.
