KNN Bible Study: Psalm 82:6 (Ye are Gods?)

KNN Bible Study: I know, I know, Bible Class is boring. I found out in school that there are no boring subjects, only boring teachers. So, let's open our bibles to Psalm 82:6. What does God say about us there? The real question is do you believe it? The word used to describe us as gods, 'keelohim' begins with the letter Kaf. Kaf has a value of 11 or 20, both pointing to the duplication of a king's authority. Why would God give us such authority? The answer is in verses 3 and 4, which is to, “Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.” We know that the New Age interpretation that each one of us is a God is totally bogus because of Deuteronomy 6:4. But, let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. The fact that we can be 'Echad' or One with God through Jesus enables us to do great things in His will. Difficult times require radical faith. God has provided everything we need to manifest such faith. When in God's Holy Spirit, we submit our spirit and renew our mind; our soul prospers in all good things. After this, we can begin to believe Jesus, who quotes Psalm 82:6, "Is it not written in your Law, 'I have said you are "gods"'?-John 10:34
