Nuggets from Occult Invasion—What About “Ye Are Gods”?

What then did Jesus mean when He quoted Psalm:82:6I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
See All..., where God says, “I have said, Ye are gods”? Because He was testing the Pharisees’ comprehension of Scripture, Jesus didn’t quote the next verse: “But ye shall die like men.” It sounds as though being a god and death are related. Clearly, in reminding them that God had said they already were gods, Jesus was not calling men to become gods. We must go all the way back to Genesis:3:22And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
See All... to find when and where God called men gods. There God says, “Behold, the man is become as one of us.”

It was Satan, not God, who had promised godhood to Eve—and not that she would be God, but “as [the] gods” (Genesis:3:5For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
See All...). Ah, there was the catch! There is only one true God. The gods are all false. They are the pretenders after godhood, the followers of Satan, who have believed his promise of godhood. These demonic beings are worshiped through idolatry. Speaking of “that which is offered in sacrifice to idols,” Paul writes that “the Gentiles…sacrifice to devils, and not to God” (1 Corinthians:10:19What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
See All...,20).

Every problem in the world today can be traced to Eden, when mankind became a race of godhood-seekers. Today we have nearly 6 billion such seekers on earth, all in conflict with one another, all seeking for the power to enforce their will upon others. Unless we abdicate the throne of our “godhood” and are reconciled to God through the sacrifice of Christ on the cross, we remain under God’s judgment for joining Satan’s rebellion. God warns:

“But the Lord [Jahweh] is the true God…. The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.”

God puts His finger on the root of every earthly problem: rebellious man, pretending to be a god, and claiming he can create with his mind. And He exposes the lie very simply: Obviously we have not created the heavens and the earth, but He has. The one true God declares unequivocally that all who claim to be gods but have not created the heavens and the earth shall perish! Yet Paul Crouch declares:

“If we are not ‘little Gods,’ we will apologize to you in front of ten thousand time ten thousand before the Crystal Sea!”
