You say: “ There aren’t many gods. “
Psalms 82:6
http://kingjbible.com/psalms/82.htm
6. I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
7But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. “
Jesus remarked: “33The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
34. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

So mnay things plainly written in the BIBLE that are skipped over and ignored as inconvenient to the power structures of man.
For example, who say you was the leader of Jesus’s followers after the Crucifixion? Many say Peter. But it wasn’t. And the actual leader, and many subsequent leaders after him, is so named in the BIBLE - for he who has eyes to see. (Clue - he was a wealthy HIgh Priest of the Temple, and lineal heir.)
Was Jesus a carpenter, son of a carpenter? Or was the Greek word “tecton” to mean “carpenter” a mistranslation. - “tecton” (in Mark) or “tekton” (in Mathew) is more aptly translated into a word describing a “contractor”; specifically, contracting as a “builder.
He and Joseph most likely worked in stone - and in building the nearby Roman city of white marble, Sepphoris, - a mosty Greek speaking hub of commerce and that could be seen from Nazareth - a ‘Shining City on a hill” .
(Of course, as an adult, Jesus became a Rabbi and so remained.)
Gee whiz DU I am confused, didn't you one tell me Mormonism wasn't polytheistic, even giving me/us the definition from Websters that told us Polytheism is the worship of OR belief in more than one god.
Or did you take that back (ignore) it after I showed you other Mormons who were proudly telling us there were gods o’ plenty.
It is hard to keep track...

Read the context of these passages, Momron. The word ‘gods’ doesn’t refer to competitors with YHWH like you’re trying blasphemously to infer. The reference in Tanakh is to men who were magistrates over the people. Typical! And you non-Christians wonder why we keep exposing the heresies and blasphemies at the heart of Momronism!
You want to play at scholar, explain for us the origins of the name ‘Lucifer’ and your false peepstone predator’s use of that name in the faux book of abraham Momron scriptures. ... How honest are you prepared to be, Mormon?
maine (great state!)
you wrote that Psalm 82 teaches there are God’s outside God Himself. Not so.
In regards to Psalm 82... from my friend Tom Constable
“The human judges in Israel served as God’s judicial representatives among His people. The Hebrew word translated “rulers” (NASB) or “gods” (NIV) is elohim (lit. strong ones). This word usually describes God in the Old Testament, but sometimes it refers to the strong ones in Israel, namely the human rulers or authorities (cf. 45:6; Exod. 21:6; 22:8–9). It does not refer to angels here (cf. Eph. 6:12) as the Syriac translators thought. This is clear from the context. It does not refer to the gods of the heathen either (cf. 1 Cor. 10:20).”
