Why should I be disgusted? You're the NECROPHILLIAC, YOU SICK FUCK.
Does the Bible admit to other Gods?

Do you have a special cell where you yell 'sick fuck' and other blasphemies all day long until you piss the wrong guard off and they give you your non-caffeine dose? :)

Mhmm, good to know. Is that it? Yawn.

Yes gods exist.
That is a yes then.
These gods are created beings.
And that is also a yes .
They come into existence,
Another affirmative then.
they have a time that they live
Affirmative
and they die
Affirmative on two counts. To die they have to have existed and , as I have said all long, are flesh and blood beings just as the Mesopotamians have told us hundreds of thousands of years ago.
They are mortal.
Yes they are/were. ALL OF THEM
And there is the famous and no getting away from.....
Why would a Christian want to get away from a verse telling us that God is the master and ruler of all other so called gods? I use that verse to show idolaters that who they worship does not really deserve the title of God.
God was speaking to human beings. That's who the "Ye" refers to in psalm 82.Ps 82 - I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
So what's the problem?
Psalm 95:3 - For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
Psalm 135:5 - For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
Call anything that you want "god", they all still bow down to His Beatific, Majestic, Excellence, King Jesus. If they like holding the title "god" while they kiss the feet of the one true God above all, that is perfectly fine with me. I'll even bow with them.
o√L, --> That's Ethan humbly bowing to the Great King, the Lord of lords, and the God of gods, His Royal Omnipotent Holiness, King Jesus.
o√L, --> That's Buddha
o√L, --> That's Allah
o√L, --> That's Vishnu
o√L, --> That's Ram
o√L, --> That's Lucifer
o√L, --> That's Darwin
o√L, --> That's Odin
q√L, --> That's Athena
o√L, --> Krishna
Etc. You get the picture......

I think the 'gods' in ps82 are kings and rulers of the ancient world who claimed divinity. The psalm presents YHWH as instructing earthly rulers how they should rule and judge.
The psalmist seems to accept that at least some such rulers are indeed 'gods', but very much lesser ones;
6 “I said, ‘You are “gods”;
you are all sons of the Most High.’
7 But you will die like mere mortals;
you will fall like every other ruler.”
In essence, the psalmist has YHWH telling earthly rulers who is boss.

Yes. Human beings.

Cause He is the standard (authority) of morality.

6 “I said, ‘You are “gods”;
you are all sons of the Most High.’
7 But you will die like mere mortals;
you will fall like every other ruler.”
You got that right. So maybe the bible is not talking about a plurality of gods. Maybe it's just another self-serving loony interpretation.
In essence, the psalmist has YHWH telling earthly rulers who is boss.
You'd better recognize. The Boss is His Awesome Coolness, His Legendary Bigness, His Eternal Smoothness, King Jesus Christ!
(and the crowd goes wild!)

That is certainly the case.

Yahweh seems to have begun as a henotheistic deity, not a monotheistic deity, and I suspect that's what we're seeing in those passages.
Ever notice how some people seem to prefer their suspicions to reality?
-->
@ethang5
Yes, obviously. But "preferring their suspicions to reality" almost implies that they understand their suspicions differ from reality and are choosing to believe their suspicions anyway. When most of the time they -- I should say "we", actually, since we all do it -- actually think our suspicions and reality are one and the same.
