Psalm 82: gods or judges?

Dr. Al Garza will be discussing Psalm 82. Is it talking about a council of gods in heaven or men who are judges on the earth?

Thank you Dr. Al Garza, love the scripture reading. God bless you

Can I ask why God says you shall die like men if they are already men. They were gonna die anyway. Surely the punishment of mortality can really only be painful to an immortal

I would love to see you and my Kaiser do a Q&A together or a live show of some sorts together that would be awesome

Thank you. I do find it weird that ANE people are convinced it excludes human rulers when not only do we have references in the Torah, but even ANE civilizations viewed their human kings as being a part of a Divine Council. (not saying that these human kings were real gods- just that this language wouldn't have necessarily excluded human rulers, even by pagan standards)

Shalom,
why jesus did say it is written in your Torah, when it is written in psalms 82 ?

in 1973 dr F. de Graaff wrote a challenging book on Psalm 82 called Als goden sterven, when gods die, related to the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche. That book caused a lot of turmoil in Holland.
To De Graaff it is no question what gods mean: gods mean gods.

Interestingly enough I just read a blog that used the reference of jannes and jambres to say that Paul was quoting the book of jubilees. Basically to validate that book.

Where in the bible are the men, rulers, "judges" ever referred too as eloihim?

[P.H.]

The whole counsel of Yehovah
The Hebrew Scriptures
Spiritual ~ Heavens
Earth ~ people
Yehovah Father Son Holy Spirit ~ Perfect

Created everything Spiritual and physical

Angels ~ ministering spirits

The Watchers ~ Rebellious spiritual beings left their place
The fall of the angelic beings & Adam & Eve

The nation’s divided 70 each with a spirit or Elohim over them

Yehovah chooses 1 man Abram who becomes The Father of Many Nations
Abraham Isaac Israel
Messiah
Jesus Christ defeated ALL The Enemies
Including The Last ~ Death.
Even Jesus came and died as A Man ✝️
As The Joseph Messiah ~ Suffering Servant
The Hebrew Scriptures use metaphors and idioms
Men are like trees or animals
Angelic beings are like men

Ezekiel 28 ~ duality ~ speaking of The King but obviously also Evil Spiritual being behind the man.

One of the seven spirits of God is COUCEL God needs no counsel from anyone or anything he is COUNCEL. .

Can't impose a targum reading on a text which predates the targum. The targum is rabbinic but the Tanak is prior to rabbinic times

[thetoknboxshow]

Well, you're misunderstanding of the Hebrew word elohim is already wrong. El nor elohim does not mean God as you say it is. It's not plural for as in Gods either.
