Psalm 82:
This Psalm is a key reference point. It speaks of God standing in the assembly of "gods" and judging them. In this context, the "gods" are not referring to other deities but rather to earthly judges and rulers who are granted authority by God but are also accountable to Him.
Elohim:
The Hebrew word "elohim" is often translated as "gods" in English. However, it can also mean "mighty ones" or "rulers". This word is used in the Old Testament to refer to not only God but also to other powerful beings like angels or even powerful human leaders.
Jesus and John 10:34:
In this passage, Jesus refers to the "gods" mentioned in Psalm 82 and then extends it to say, "I said, 'You are gods'." This passage has been interpreted in different ways, but one common understanding is that Jesus is using the Psalm as a basis to argue that He, as the Son of God, is even more powerful and worthy of respect than earthly judges who are also called "gods".
When the Bible says "gods", it doesn't always refer to other deities like in polytheistic religions. In some contexts, it refers to powerful or authoritative figures, especially those in positions of earthly authority or even supernatural beings.
