One thread of the folklore of Lilith has her mating with an angel, so their children might be considered demi-angels. Less precise use of terms is not uncommon and not necessarily bad but could use explanation. (By the way, angel comes from the [old] Greek for messenger [a common role for these beings in the Bible] and evangelion is a quasi-transliteration [really, euangelion] of the Greek for "good news" [good message] also called gospel.) | |
