It helps immensely to have a sense of Whom God is, His character and personality. In one passage Jesus refers the Pharisees back to an Old Testament passage where judges of the people are referred to as 'gods', little "G". He was mocking them because the Old Testament is ONLY about 'Hear oh Israel, the Lord your God is One.' That he would refer the self-righteous sticklers to something anathema to the Torah is a clear put down in that light. There is a modern religion which tries to cite that passage as proof that God has said we may become gods. But to take Jesus's words that way is to contradict all that the Old Testament stood for.

Jesus was talking to the disciples. Doesn't James 1:5 prevent him from upbraiding them?
