Bible Note: Hello Frank, And at Isaiah 9:6 Jesus Christ is prophetically called ´El Gib·bohr´, “Mighty God” (not ´El Shad·dai´ (God Almighty) which is applied to only Jehovah as at Genesis 17:1 At Psalm 8:5, the angels are also referred to as ´elo·him´, as is confirmed by Paul’s quotation of the passage at Hebrews 2:6-8. They are called beneh´ ha·´Elo·him´, “sons of God” (KJ); “sons of the true God” (NW), at Genesis 6:2, 4; Job 1:6; 2:1. Lexicon in Veteris Testamenti Libros, by Koehler and Baumgartner (1958), page 134, says: “(individual) divine beings, gods.” And page 51 says: “the (single) gods,” and it cites Genesis 6:2; Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:7. Hence, at Psalm 8:5 ´elo·him´ is rendered “angels” in the Septuigent (LXX); “godlike ones” (NW). Also, to angels as in Psalm 89:6: “Who can resemble Jehovah among the sons of God (or angels) (bi·beneh´ ´E·lim´)? It must be noted that in no way can these be, a play on words, "false gods" simply because they are not the Almighty "true God YHWH" because it is the Bible that is calling them "gods" and they are from the Hebrew word (elohim) which means "to be strong".
