YOU ARE GODS
When the Jews berated Jesus for saying He and the father were one,
John 10:30
30 I and My Father are one.”(NKJV)
Jesus predicted his defense on the authority of the scripture that says, “Ye are gods” His argument was, if GOD called them gods how much more should one be called god, whom the father had sanctified and sent into the world. He was quoting from
Psalm 82:6:
6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.(KJV)
Take another look at the scripture: “You are gods”. The inflexible, biological law of heredity designed and instituted by God ensures that every species procreates after its kind. Thus, like begets like, dog begets dogs, fish begets fish, humans begets humans, and God begets gods.
It can never be any other way. Once we were born of man, then we later got born again – born of God. We are now his offspring; we are descendants of his son. We are one of his kind. We are like Him. He became as we were – man that we might become as He is – GOD. Don’t shrink from that truth.
The word translated as gods in Psalms 82, is Elohim. There is no way we can get past this scripture. For long we have ignored it and have heaped upon ourselves the same damnation that befell those to whom this scripture was first spoken.
“They do not know, neither do they understand. They walk about in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are unstable…. you are Elohim but you shall die like men and fall like one of the princes”.
They did not know. They ended up walking in darkness (ignorance) and dying like mere men.
“We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us, it is in everyone. As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
They do not know, nor do they understand. How ignorance has robbed us! I am tired of living within this tabernacle of limitation. I am tired of walking the limited realm. I want to do great things. I want to walk in perfection. I want to bear the glory of GOD. I want to manifest him.
Have a Great week and stay blessed.

Dear @praise-eu,
As you pointed out, Jesus was quoting from Psalm 82:6 when confronted by the crowds accusing Him of blasphemy . The psalmist was referring to Exodus 21:6a:
then his master must take him before the judges. NIV
then hath his lord brought him nigh unto God, Youngs Literal Translation
HaElohim הָֽאֱלֹהִ֗ים - (literally the gods) but often translated as "the judges" (of Israel).
These were men who were appointed to judge on God's behalf who were called gods.
But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes . Psalm 82:7
Even though the judges (gods) held a lofty title and were God's representative, they were mortals. The use of the word princes denotes that they would die as other persons do regardless of rank or position.
Shalom, Steven Sherman @lastdays
Thanks for your comments. Please do always. Shalom
Dear @praise-eu,
You're very welcome.
As a Jewish believer in Yeshua (Jesus) as the Son of God and Messiah (Christ), I am sharing my understanding of the natural and spiritual fulfillments that are foreshadowed in the Festivals of Yehovah in a series of posts.
