redleghunter: "Jesus did not align Himself with the Psalm 82 reference to “gods” He was contrasting the use of Psalm 82 with His authority."

Sorry, but John 10:34 is quite clear in full context:

"34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods”’[d]?[Psalm 82:6]
35 If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside—
36 what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world?
Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?"

Jesus clearly and unequivocally named himself "Son of God", but never claimed to be God Himself, not even in Gospel Writer John's accounting.

Yes, Jesus was setting Himself apart from the "gods" mentioned in Psalm 82. He says it right there in verse 36.

So you either view Jesus Christ as a mere human, a demigod or a 'lower' god than the Father. From John 1 we know the Son of God as the One where "all things were made." So obviously you don't see the Son of God as a mere human. That leaves a demigod or a god for you to choose from who created all things.

John 1:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

That's a major error on your part. In John 3:16 the Apostle labeled Jesus Christ the only-begotten Son of God. The Greek for only-begotten is monogenes (mono = one) and (genes - kind). John was clearly stating Jesus was the UNIQUE Son of God, deity from deity.
