Are We Really Gods? by knowingChrist(m): 7:35am On Jul 29, 2022
REVISITING SOME GENERAL CHRISTIAN BELIEFS

Are we really gods?
Are we gods? What are gods? What do the scriptures say about gods? These are some basic questions a person must ask before believing they’re. But people are just as quick to accept beliefs from very limited or unverifiable information even as these beliefs are easily formed. Hence, some people belief they’re gods without proper interpretation of what it means to be gods within the context of the scriptures, and others have accepted this as true without asking the basic questions.

This belief is not unique to Christianity, it’s peddled by both Christian and non-Christian preachers. Proponents of this belief claim that it’s written in the bible that we are gods so that automatically makes us gods. However, they tend to carefully avoid the basic questions in their claims and when teaching it to others.

The Christian version of the belief posits that inasmuch as Christians are borne by the word of God, they’re gods. In fact, some Christian preachers go further with this to say that since God is divine, every Christian is also divine. Due to the cloudiness of this belief, preachers of this belief go as far as comparing God to animals in trying to convince their audience. They say a goat can only give birth to another goat, a lion will likewise give birth to another lion, and so also will a dog, bird, elephant, etc. give birth to another of their kinds. Therefore, God can only give birth to his kind.

The non-Christian version of the belief posits that all men are gods. Proponents of this say that what happened to Jesus is not unique, it’s attainable by anyone. They further speak of something known as Christ consciousness, which is: being in tune with the universe. They say that anyone who attains this consciousness is as God or god as the case may be. They say that unlike the personal God in Christianity, God is actually the universe or the source of everything, and everyone else is as gods when they get in tune with the universe.

Both beliefs were created from a particular verse taken out of a chapter of just a book of the scriptures; verse 6 of chapter 82 of the psalmist’s writings:

6 I have said, ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High (Psalm 82:6).

This belief is further supported by a comment Jesus made in response to his accusers:

35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; (John 10:35-36)

We might get convinced of this belief because it’s been padded with the scriptures, but as we reflect on it, were become faced with questions like:

• Was Christ also gods?
• If yes, then why didn’t he or the bible say so?
• If not, why do certain pastors say we’re gods, aren’t we supposed to be like Christ?
• What then are we?

It’s clear that the scriptures called men gods, however, it’s not very clear what kind of men were called gods, so it’s important to know the kind of men called gods. How do we know the kind of men called gods? It’s first by knowing the meaning of the Hebrew word translated as “gods”, then reading the verse within the context of the whole chapter, and doing a proper search of the scriptures to compare the whole statement to other parts of the scriptures talking about the same or similar thing.

The Hebrew word:
The Hebrew word translated as “gods” has a few meanings, chiefly of which are judges or angels. This means when the scriptures say “ye are gods”, the word gods could either stand for judges or angels: ye are judges; ye are angels. Those who peddle this belief say that the word “gods” stands for angels, but looking at the whole chapter of the message helps us understand what the word stands for.

82 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6 I have said, ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.


The whole context of the message in the chapter is about judgment, in fact, verse 2 of the chapter has God directly asking them how long will they judge unjustly. It’s awkward that anyone will take the word “gods” and make it something separate from the context of the whole chapter.

Although this should nullify the belief that we’re gods, searching through the scriptures; comparing different instances where the same word was used helps us fully understand the true meaning of the word and the message in the Psalms.

What does the word “gods” mean in the scriptures?
The first time the word “gods” was used in the scriptures is in Genesis, where the dialogue between Eve and the mind was recorded.

4 And the serpent said unto the woman, ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil (Genesis 3:4-5).


The direct information to note here is that disobeying God will make man as gods, and when man disobeyed, God confirmed that man has become as gods, and knows good and evil.

22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever: (Genesis 3:22)

The statement “the man is become as one of us” is where God confirms that man had become as gods because of his disobedience. This implies that those who were called gods in the context of Psalm 82 were disobedient to the commandment of God in righteousness.

The specific attribute or quality that qualifies a person/entity as gods is the ability to know good and evil. Although many might think knowing good and evil is literal, that’s not the case in the scripture. The term “knowing good and evil” needs to be defined within the scriptures. An important part of the scriptures that helps us define this is seen in the conversation between God and Solomon.

9 Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? (1 Kings 3:9)

From the statement above, we see that the ability to judge people defines the knowledge of good and evil. Using this information to interpret other parts of the Bible, we see that being gods and knowing good and evil means being able to judge people. Therefore, those who were called gods in the Psalms were those who judged the people, they were not angels or divine in any way.

Understanding Psalm 82:
The first thing to note about Psalm 82 is that the message was a prophecy, it was talking about something to happen. The whole context of the message in Psalm 82 tells us that God judges among gods i.e. God was judging amongst judges of the earth. This message was fulfilled when Christ came to earth; God was in Christ standing amongst mighty men and judged amongst judges of the people. God berated these judges of the people on why they’ve judged unjustly and told them what a righteous judgment is.

Although proponents of this belief do not see this message across the bible, it’s actually a message that spreads across various books of the scriptures. It’s a statement of the coming of Christ and the execution of the righteous judgment of God on earth. The message is also seen in the following books:
• Psalm 58
• Isaiah 3
• Jeremiah 23
All of these books are talking about God coming to judge the mighty men of the earth. These mighty men are judges of the earth who have perverted justice; judging by their own standards, and for this reason, God himself shall come and stand amongst them and execute righteous judgment.

Was Christ gods?
Christ explicitly stated what he was, he called himself the son of God. There’s nowhere at any point in the bible that Christ intentionally or mistakenly referred to himself as gods. In fact, the only reason Christ mentioned the word “gods” was to reference the scriptures in reply to his accusers:

34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36 say ye of him, whom the father has sanctified, and sent into the world, thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? (John 10:35-36)


In the verses above, we clearly see that Christ says the scripture calls them gods to whom the word of God came, but states that he is the son of God. Christ never called himself gods, but repeatedly called himself the son of God, drawing a distinction between those called gods and himself.

Who are gods?
Proponents of the belief claim Christ confirmed that we’re gods because he referenced Psalm 82 in his response to his accusers, however, this information is entirely assumed because Christ clarified that he is the son of God even while he called them gods. Christ never called himself gods; however intentional or mistakenly. In fact, apart from the referencing of Psalm 82 which only happened once, there’s no record in the whole of the New Testament where anyone called Christians gods. Christians are sons of God because they do the will of God by obeying his words, while gods are those who disobey the word of God, and rule by their own stands.

While those who peddle this belief claim that Christ confirmed that Christians are gods when he referenced Psalm 82, this claim is not according to the understanding of the scriptures. Christ explained that those who the scriptures called gods are those unto whom the word of God came, and the bible explicitly states that those unto whom the word of God came rejected him.
He came unto his own, and his own received him not. John 1:11
A person born by the word of God is not as gods. Such a person is like Christ, the son of God. Every Christian is a son of God because they do the will of God but gods are those who disobey God. Sons of God make the judgment of God known, but gods bear rule by their own hands (Jeremiah 5:31).

You are not a god because you say you are a Christian. You become a god aka Son of God when you know the Truth(Jesus Christ), through continuous submission and obedience of the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, the Truth, , and are set free from slavery to sin by the Truth to become then a holy/perfect vessel for God - John 8 vs 31 - 44 undecided

The OP'S article is just an epistle that seeks to confuse and further delude those who are ignorant of what is God's Trut. According to Jesus Christ, it is only those who stand faithful - in continuous submission and obedience of the teachings and commandment of God's Truth, Jesus Christ- that will be saved - Matthew 24 vs 12 - 13 & Mark 13 vs 13 meaning the process is a life long one that concludes when one is dead. undecided

So long and short is Adam was made a Man, not a Son of God. He died a Man because of his sin, loosing the change to become a Son of God since he did not eat in obedience from the Tree of Life and the Tree of Truth (the Knowledge of good and of evil). undecided

Jesus Christ is God's Truth and Life returned to man, the opportunity for men to gain again that which was lost to them since Adam. And only those who stand faithful till the end will be saved by Him.. undecided

The above is the same scripture Jesus Christ made reference to in John 10 where He pointed out what God said of Him being a god aka Son of God. undecided
33 They answered, “We are not killing you for any good thing you did. But you say things that insult God. You are only a man, but you say you are the same as God! That is why we are trying to kill you!”
34 Jesus answered, “It is written in your law that God said, ‘I said you are gods.’
35 This Scripture called those people gods—the people who received God’s message. And Scripture is always true.
36 So why do you accuse me of insulting God for saying, ‘I am God’s Son’? I am the one God chose and sent into the world.
37 If I don’t do what my Father does, then don’t believe what I say.
38 But if I do what my Father does, you should believe in what I do. You might not believe in me, but you should believe in the things I do. Then you will know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.” - John 10 vs 33 - 38
Sons of God aka gods are those who do works of righteousness which included judging all things by God's righteous Standard, not the standards of men in this world. They are called to be just in their dealings, stand up for the week etc., in order that the light of God through them - Isaiah 58 vs 6 - 14. God Himself is the judge of this world as explained in Psalm 82 vs 1.

But I have never been one of them Jehovah's witnesses, or any of your other Churchian groups. From where I seat, there is no difference between you and the Jehovah's witnesses you love to hate since you all, against Jesus Christ's commandments, peddle lies using His Name - Matthew 15 vs 1 - 14 & Mark 7 vs 1 - 13. So? undecided

This is probably why you speak blindly about every topic of the scriptures. It's quite funny that you people who are blind to the gospel of Christ always seem to think you know it better.

It's just like a blind man telling you that you're not seeing what you see clearly, claiming that they have a better view. This makes you wonder at the level of audacity with which such a blind man speaks. At the end of the day, you'll understand that he's just a confused blind man who's troubled and wants to be heard.

But then, if such a blind man continues doing that, he becomes a person to avoid. At first, you'll be compassionate to him and understand that he's joking and wants attention but when this becomes his character. You'll likely not speak to them about the beauty and brightness of the day bc you know he's going to claim he sees better what he doesn't even see.

I'll advice every Christian not to engage this fellow anymore and maybe pray for him with that time instead.

I am disappointed! undecided

You accuse me of being blind to the gospel and speaking blindly yet not even a line to substantiate any of the accusations you make against me. Did you really need to write an epistle for this too? undecided
