Ps. 82: 6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

Please read the entire chapter (vs1-8). These gods being addressed in Ps 82:

Pretty sure I don't aspire to be that kind of god. Do you?

John 10: 34-36 -- Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken, say ye of him, whom the Father hath asanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

Christ quotes, Ps. 82: 6, confirms it is scripture, and states that the gods refered to are those 'unto whom the word of God came' (ie: Isreal). He then used those fact to undermine the validity of the accusations made against him. If it was not reffering to men as gods it would have been a very weak case he was making.

Yes, Isreal judged unjustly and did all the other things that cause the Psalmist to plead for the just judgements of God. No I don't aspire to that kind of behaviour (there will be consequences as you point out), but if the scriptures can call them gods when they act like that, why say that that we blaspheme for what we teach?
