We've already looked at Psalms 82
"1 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. 2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. 3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. 4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked. 5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. 6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. 7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. 8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations. "
And established the fact that in this verse the word "gods" was refering to beings within the congreation of the Al Mighty.
The "sons of God" or the "heavenly hosts"....if you will.....that were being judged by Him, not humanity where were talked of separately.
God tells these beings that they will die "like men".
So obviously they weren't men to begin with.
But where did this idea that humans could achieve "god status" simply through acquiring knowledge originate?
According to the Bible (for those who believe).
In Genesis chapter 3 we read:
"1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For 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. 6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons."
Well first of all, there had to be other "gods" around for the woman and man to see and admire in order for them to desire to be like them. Obviously THEY weren't gods...yet atleast...or else Satan wouldn't have been able to tempt them with the promise of being gods.
I advise you to read up on the history of Angels, Jinn, and the Cherubim.
The second thing we notice is that Satan didn't promise the woman that she would be GOD...no..no..no....
They both understood that they'd never be the Al Mighty because there was only One. But she figured she and her man could be exalted to such an extent that they'd be superior to what they were presently and transform themselves into gods or as the gods that they obviously observed in thier environment.
And look how Satan promised her that they'd be as "gods" and having what...knowledge.
Satan always seems to attribute the gaining of knowledge with becoming divine.
He never tells you that you have to be born a god, he tells you you can "study" your way into god hood by seeking knowledge.
Just like white men claim that since we "evolved" from apes into humans; we can all eventually "evolve" from humans to gods.
Well hell, if that's the case then most doctors and scientist would be gods living longer and much happier than the rest of humanity, but obviously they're not.
You can eat an entire encyclopedia and wash it down with some alphabet soup if you want, you'll never be a god because you weren't born or created to be one.
It's not in your nature.
Ofcourse we should study, and most importantly UNDERSTAND what we're studying...but never overstep your boundaries by believing you're something your not.
All it takes is one family tragedy or illness to not only put you right back in your place, but often leave you in a state of confusion worse than you were originally.
Finally....
Isn't it funny that just like Satan worked on the woman, many of these so-called spiritualists and New Agerss who teach humans are suppresed gods and religion is just a form of oppression tend to especially target women?
As much as they can debate and slam the men of a religion calling them stupid or weak, they all seem to go out of their way not to offend or turn away the sistaz.
When they debate men:
Brutha that's so foolish Jesus ain't never.....
Hold on...you're out of line man.....
Take that back to your Arab slave master...
Do you wake up that stupid and does it last all day.....
But when it comes to the women:
Oh sista your a goddess and don't know it.....
Oh queen, yes but you must understand.....
You are so right Jesus does save but can't you see.....
Well queenie I'm a Muslim to but you have to understand the meaning of....
Well if you join MY system of belief we'll take away your burden and won't oppress you like...
That tells you they're being deceptive right there, because gender shouldn't matter when debating logic....right is right and wrong is wrong.
But Satan has a history of working on the woman in order to get to the man.
This is why most learne men, scholars, and leaders of religious communities were encouraged and sometimes required to be married before they assumed positions of power. So that their social and sexual lives would be somewhat stable and they could make the best and most correct decisions without bias or ulterior motives.
But the REAL aim of Satan and this "ye are gods" crap isn't to get you to realize your potential.
The real aim is to eventually turn you away from worshipping God, so you can begin worshipping other "gods" (humans) with higher knowledge than yourself.
They want you to worship THEM.
