As I have explained on two other occasions to you, the men to whom He quoted the Psalm were taking up stone to kill Him for saying He is the Son of God. Jesus likened these men to the ones written about in Psalm 82, the wicked judges. Now, if you really want to be analogized to wicked men who judged wickedly and who were going to stone Him, well, we cannot stop you. But we can pray for you to have His light shine into the dark recesses which make such wrong applications as you keep insisting on.

Ah, I get you, but you are overlooking verse 1 in the Psalms reference.

1 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.

And then (again) in verse six, he calls then “children of the most high” in relation to the “gods” reference.

Thanks for your interpretation, but putting the NT reference completely aside, I will stick with that of C.S. Lewis and other Christian Scholars over those who continually try to belittle and destroy the faith of their fellow man.

Good night to you too.
