Ridiculous. And FYI I am using the Hebrew scriptures, in Hebrew.

St. John didn’t use Hebrew, he used koine, and in his rendering of Jesus’ quote of Psalm 82 he rendered elohim as theoi, not kritoi.

Furthermore, John 10, in which the quote appears, is entirely concerned with Jesus’ divinity, and Jesus’ quote is directly in rebuking the Pharisees for their incredulity that God could be man.

One begins your line of argument by implying that the beloved apostle misunderstood Jesus, but, in fact, concludes by averring that Jesus misunderstood or mendaciously misinterpreted the Psalms to score a cheap rhetorical point on the Pharisees.
