What do you think about this The Berean Call article on "The Numerous concerns on what Michael Heiser teaches"
"...his new hermeneutic philosophy (or principle) has led him to conclusions on certain doctrines that cannot be supported by Scripture no matter how much he insists they are….One cannot use one’s own interpretations to prove that their interpretations are correct."
Do you agree with Heiser that there is a pantheon of other gods? A council of gods?

If you argue in good faith then present your case properly with citations.
I’ll wait.
If you google search you can find it from several sources, the url was too long, I tried a tiny url but that's not allowed on this site. Therefore, I cited the article and the source.

Michael Heiser was a self proclaimed monotheist who studied scripture and was scrupulously careful to differentiate between The Almighty “Elohiym”, and the “elohiym” (properly rendered in the lower case). The term “elohiym” is used frequently in scripture to denote lesser beings.
Strong's Hebrew: 430. (elohim) -- God, gods, divine beings, judges Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: elohiym Pronunciation: eh-lo-HEEM Phonetic Spelling: (el-o-heem') KJV: angels, X exceeding, God (gods)(-dess, -ly), X (very) great, judges, X mighty NASB: God, gods, God's, judges, goddess, great Word Origin: [plural of H433 (God)] 1. gods in the ordinary sense 2. but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme God 3. occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates 4. and sometimes as a superlative The passage which Michael often referred to in reference to the lesser “elohiym” is Psalm 82:
Elohim and the Heavenly Council
Psalm 82 opens, “God presides in the council of God; He renders judgment among the gods.” Here Elohim stands above celestial beings (often termed “sons of God” or mal’akhim). These spirits are subordinate; only Elohim is worshiped (Nehemiah 9:6). The heavenly court imagery magnifies His sovereign authority over all ranks of created beings.
Psalm 82 is explicitly and unequivocally monotheistic.
Psalm 82 KJV:
God Presides in the Great Assembly
1 {A Psalm of Asaph.} God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. 3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. 4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked. 5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. 6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. 7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. 8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
