Greetings Ongyo no Kiheijic,
I am very interested in the passage John 10:30-36 as a whole, and what you have chosen is part of Jesus’ reply to their accusation.
Two questions (for the Trinitarians):
1) Are the "gods" mentioned at John 10:34(, ie, the "gods" of Psalm 82:6) 'true gods or false gods'?
My answer is that the term "gods" needs to be considered in the Biblical language of Hebrew, not the normal usage of the word "god" or "gods" in English. I find this first question obscure and ambiguous, so I would like you to explain what the term “gods” here represents. Who are these “gods”? I understand that there are at least two views as to the meaning of “gods” here, and I endorse one of these, but I will wait for your explanation.
2) How does quoting Psalm 82:6 help Jesus prove that "he is Deity"?
I am not a Trinitarian so I will not answer this second question. I suspect that Trinitarians will not have a clear and simple answer to this question. I understand that some Trinitarians agree with the view that I hold on Psalm 82:6, but they then have difficulty when they then try to explain John 10:30-36 and why Jesus quotes this, as they want to hold onto the incorrect view of John 10:30 in support of the Trinity.
Kind regards
Trevor
