Philo's grammar is not that bad as you imagine. elokim may refer to prominent men. MT

No, it is bnei elohim, with he, not kaf. I don't know why you are making this substitution, but if you are trying to avoid offending Jewish sensitivities you might be more successful if you treated their holy text with more respect.

You mix different things. I reject Christianity for intellectual reasons. I
don't hate people of Christian faith, of course. Anti-Semites hate Jews; they
cannot disregard Judaism, since they proclaim their religion is based upon it.


Anti-Semites are not Christians as you seem to assume. Some may profess Christianity, but they deny their faith every time they practice anti-Semitism. Many profess other religions or none at all.
