This isn't Christian to teach many small 'g' gods. Are you Mormon? Or is there a new religion called Heiserites?
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
