Subject: "I SAID, 'YOU ARE GODS?'" |
Bible Note: Hi Zsuzsi, You have asked me to look at the King James version for Psalm 82:1 in order to establish the claim that "'I am mighty' or 'I am a judge' or 'I have power'." Psalm 82:1, "God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods." However, even with the lower case being used, should we not think that God stands in His own congregation and that He is the One who judges? The rulers or the gods are the ones who judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked. Psalm 9:3, "When my enemies turn back, They stumble and perish before Thee. 4 For (Thou) hast maintained my just cause; **Thou dost sit on the throne judging righteously. *Thou has rebuked the nations; Thou hast destroyed the wicked; Thou has blotted out their name forever and ever." Psalm 82:5, "They do not know nor do they understand; They walk about in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are shaken. 6 I said, "You are gods, And all of you are sons of the Most (High). Nevertheless, you will die like men, And fall like any one of the princes." 8 Arise, O **God, judge the earth! For it is *Thou who dost possess all the nations." Psalm 9:19, "Arise, O *Lord, do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged before Thee. 20 Put them in fear, O Lord; Let the nations know that they are but men." 1) Psalm 82:1, NASB, "God takes His stand in His/ own congregation; He judges in the midst of the rulers. [Lit. gods]. John 10:33, NKJ, "...and because You, being a Man, make Yourself/ God." 2) I believe that the ones who hated God (in Jesus) exalted themselves just as Psalm 83 says. I believe also that the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit [with Him]. 1 Cor 6:17. From the heart, Ray |
