Title: Psalm 82
Post by: ProDeo on November 02, 2022, 04:05:34 PM
A Psalm of Asaph.
1 God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:
2 “How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? — Selah
3 Give justice to the weak and the fatherless;  maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.
4 Rescue the weak and the needy;  deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”
5 They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6 I said, “You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you;
7 nevertheless, like men you shall die, and fall like any prince.”
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth; for you shall inherit all the nations!

As for the questions -

divine council; in the midst of the gods, what is Asaph talking about?

I said, “You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you, who is speaking, God or Asaph? and to whom? I suppose God to the divine council full of gods?

nevertheless, like men you shall die, gods (like men) that die?

If it wasn't for the Lord Who quoted from Psalm 82 (John 10:34) I am left with the impression that Psalm 82 isn't Scripture but full of Polytheism. Not that John makes it more clear. At least not for me.

Anyone who can decrypt the divine council full of gods?

Enoch seems to give the impression that God was speaking to the Watchers in this Psalm. The Fallen Angels who were supposed to be watching over the earth.

There is only one God, and "He" is ONE individual. All of the little 'g' gods are not gods at all. They are fallen angels, they are demons. They are referred to as divine often, but that really means, meant, that they were 'of' God Almighty. Which is why they are called Sons of God in many places, including Job 38:7.

That is also who God was speaking to in Genesis 1:26 when He says let US make man in our image. Yes, God did all the "making", but they were present; and they rejoiced at all that God created.

Your confusion is based on a bad translation.

Verse 1: A song of Asaph. God stands in the congregation of God; in the midst of the judges He will judge.

The "congregation of God" meaning the Jewish people, the original readers of the bible to whom this Psalm was composed.


Verses 2 through 5 are a rebuke. "I gave you the bible. You should know all these things already, why are you falling short of your potential and disappointing Me?

Verse 6: I said, "You are angelic creatures, and all of you are angels of the Most High."


In other words "I gave you a set of rules to follow that put you on par with the angels. Now follow them and be worthy".

Verse 7: Indeed, as man, you will die, and as one of the princes, you will fall.

Saying "You are all mortal and will face your True Judge one day. Think about this".

Nothing cryptic at all.

False.

The Bible was not written only to the "Jews."

Verse 6: I said, "You are angelic creatures, and all of you are angels of the Most High."

Wow. False.

Good luck proving that nonsense with any passage of Scripture.

This verse proves my case. It doesn't support yours in the least.

There's nothing cryptic at all about the Sons of God being angels. As I already presented to the court, it is right there in Job 38:7 for all to see.

You'll notice the text is different from what the OP posted.

Quote
The Bible was not written only to the "Jews."
At the time it was written, those were the exact people it was written for. That it had a broader audience at a later point in history does not alter that fact.

This Psalm is a rebuke of those people. 


Quote
Wow. False.
Why is it false? It makes perfect sense in the context.

Quote

Just because you disagree with what I'm saying doesn't make it "nonsense".

Do you talk to everyone like this? Very un-Christ like.


Quote

Even people in positions of power will die and face their Judge someday. That's what it says.

It doesn't have to mean angels. Exodus 4:22 So said the Lord, "My firstborn son is Israel."



Quote

Again, it doesn't have to be translated as "angels".

I think we can agree that the events in Exodus and Deuteronomy took place before the time of Asaph's Psalms. Take a close look at just who the Commandments were given to in Deuteronomy 29:11, 14-15.

They were not given only to Israel. The Bible makes that clear.

Older versions of the Bible clearly state that they were given to "all men", but even if one is uncomfortable with that fact, the modern versions say the same thing.
Quote
Wow. False.

The Bible disagrees with you and, again, you will find no Scripture to support such a claim.
Quote

On the contrary, Christ always corrected false doctrine and was far more Fire and Brimstone than I am being here. This is a Christian Discussion Forum, and Bible Discussion forum at that. Of course I am going to hold all claims up to a Biblical standard.
Quote

No, it is telling the Fallen Angels who have always prided themselves who have always prided themselves in their great power, along with their prideful leader, that they will all die like men, as they have been immortal as long as they have known existence. It is an insult to them to die like men, who they view as disgustingly below them, and it is one of the worst punishments they can imagine.

As the Bible teaches that the servant is not greater than his master, all servants will go where their master goes. In following with this teaching, those who serve these false gods will go with them to their ultimate end. The fallen angels upon the earth died like men physically and will be punished in the Lake of Fire, whether that be an eternal torment or temporary really makes no difference in the end. It will be unpleasant.
Quote

It makes perfect sense to allow the Scriptures, God's Word, to define the Scriptures. We see Sons of God defined as angels in Job 38:7. It makes perfect sense to define it the same elsewhere. God never implied in any way that men are angels. He does call those who love and worship Him Children of God, but the terms are not used, or defined, the same.

וְגֵ֣רְךָ֔ אֲשֶׁ֖ר בְּקֶ֣רֶב מַֽחֲנֶ֑יךָ

"The sojourners within your camp."

 The mixed multitude who came out of Egypt with them? They would have been at Sinai too. So also part of that original audience.


Quote
14-15.

וְאֵ֨ת אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֵינֶ֛נּוּ פֹּ֖ה עִמָּ֥נוּ הַיּֽוֹם

..."those who are not with us today". It's referring to the descendants of those at Sinai. Not the world at large, who did not get the bible in a language they could read until the Septuagint which was a thousand years later.


Quote
They were not given only to Israel. The Bible makes that clear.
That the rest of the world reads the bible is a Good Thing, but not its original intended audience. You're not winning any points here.

I think you mean your interpretation of the bible.

All this ranting isn't winning you any converts here and your behavior is not very Christian. Don't you know how to disagree without being disagreeable?

Sojourners means "strangers." So not Israel, not Jews.

Yes, part of the original audience (at least those who were present), not part of Israel. Not Jews.

Why do you suppose God inspired the Bible to be translated into all languages?

All nations and tribes serve Him. All who have ever come to know Him and seek to learn about Him when they are called by God. (John 6:44; Romans 8:28b)

One of the oldest Bibles there is still any translation for. Deny it if you prefer (yes, ... we know you prefer), but the KJV, and newer, teach the exact same Truth.

Ah. Exodus 12:38. And also, a great mixed multitude went up with them

Not Jews.

Quote

No it's rather more specific than that. "You are standing here in order to enter into a covenant with the Lord your God, a covenant the Lord is making with you this day and sealing with an oath, to confirm you this day as his people, that he may be your God as he promised you and as he swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob."

Whose fathers?

Quote

Because He wanted the message to get to the broadest possible audience. That does not change the fact about who the original audience was.

Quote

So I'm not sincere now either?

Quote
Wycliffe Bible
I don't see why and old bad translation should be any more authoritative than a new, bad translation.

to alle men,
It does not say "to all men" in the Hebrew. C'mon, you read Hebrew, you know this. Right? וְאֵ֨ת אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֵינֶ֛נּוּ פֹּ֖ה עִמָּ֥נוּ הַיּֽוֹם


Quote
How does that contradict that it records His interactions with angels?

Because you want it to say "angels", and so now you're4 recording God giving warnings to angels. The bible isn't about God talking to angels. It's irrelevant for our purposes.


Quote
The only people who ever raise that false argument are those who deny plain Scripture.
So you and you alone has been empowered to teach the bible to the entire world? You and you alone know the truth?

You've already conveniently forgotten the Deuteronomy verse I posted. I will only go in one full circle with you.

I've been at this too long to play the silliest games. Some, eh. I still enjoy a little.

Deut. 29:14-15
"Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath; but with" the stranger that is here and him who is not here.

Case closed.

Apparently not.

Yes, very sincere, indeed.

I've shown what it says in the old Bibles and the new. Your point has been dismissed with ample evidence to the contrary.

You are flailing. Let the death of this part of the argument wash over you peacefully.

You have lost.

"The stranger who is not here" has no connection to this event.

Who does?

Well, the Jews who were there. And their descendants, who are not here, but who are also the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Just as the verse says.

And also the mixed multitude who are present, who came out of Egypt with the Jews and were present at Sinai, and who lived in the desert with them for 40 years.

"Evil" as in murder, rape, robbery, and all that? Or "evil" as in understanding scripture differently from the way that you, personally, do?

Because those are not the same thing at all.

It was a reference to post/reply #7 where Jesus was brought up as an example of using harsh, vs soft, words for correcting the Jews and their false teachings in the streets.

Jesus didn't pull any punches. That was the point. He told it like it was and Christians are told to do the same when correcting falsehood pertaining to God's Truth.

You have a real hang-up about this Bible version stuff.

A rather odd sensitivity if you ask me.

Don't you worry, I read the thread before I commented. We are simply not going to play that thinly veiled antisemitic game called "correcting the Jews and their false teachings". For many reasons, but mostly because at that point, you aren't engaging in an intellectually honest discussion of the text but are dead-set on "correcting the Jew" no matter what "the Jew" says (because "the Jew" only ever puts forth false teaching. Did you know "the Jew" is a phrase used ~323 times in Mein Kampf?).

So consider this to be one of those punches-not-pulled. Engage with Fenris in good faith, or agree to disagree.

The gaslighting won't work so, feel free to surprise me with something else.

I can only be the person God created me to be. I don't know what you mean by "three characters". But if you think I'm posting under this and sock puppet accounts, then that's a good one. Maybe be careful with those claims about knowing my type if you can't tell that three different people are three different people.

Hmm, maybe you're me as well :o

Maybe somebody who's interested in topics that are .... interesting?

I TOLD you that when you post, you have to keep Little Johnny locked in the closet and to not let Aunt Gertrude say anything out loud.  Most people can't handle the whole "plural pronouns is correct" thing when talking with potential multiple personalities.

Just sayin'.
