You can go with your ideas if you wish, but the scripture is the inspired word of God and worthy of all study and consideration.
Goes back to who you allow to impose fallible interpretations onto Scripture. Heiser comes 2000 years later than the apostles and gives you a new false gospel with that interpretation.
You think Jesus understood what he was talking about 2,000 years ago?
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
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 hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
John 10 KJV
re "You think Jesus understood what he was talking about 2,000 years ago?" Yes. Jesus is the Second Person of the Trinity.
Remember, Heiser's fallible interpretations are not a part of Scripture.
John 10:34 is the climax of Jesus’ defense before the hostile Jewish leaders who had accused Him of blasphemy for claiming to be the Son of God. In this verse He quotes Psalm 82 6 — “You are gods” — to show that Scripture itself uses the word gods for human beings who exercise divine authority, and therefore His own claim to be “the Son of God” is not a violation of the law.
There is no plurality of created little 'g' gods as per Heiser's fallible interpretations.
