okay here's some scripture:
Man was made a little lower than God
Psalms 8:5 -- You made him a little lower than God and crowned him with glory and honor.
Most Bibles translate this verse as "a little lower than the angels". But the Hebrew word here for "angels" is actually "elohiym" or "God".
The Psalmist goes on to say:
6 You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet:
7 all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field,
8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas."
The Psalmist is talking about Adam, the first man created directly by God. We see a similar account in Genesis.
Genesis 1:
28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."
29 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.
Read the verses slowly and think about them. Imagine God saying these things to you.
It is not difficult to see that Adam was a god over the earth (of course, he wasn't God). He was crowned with glory and honour, and appointed ruler over God's creation. God put everything under Adam's feet. He was given authority to fill the earth and even to subdue it. He was given authority to rule over every living creature. He was given every plant and tree for food.
You are gods (small "g" though)
Believe it or not, the Bible does say that of believers!
Psalms 82:6 -- "I said, 'You are "gods"; you are all sons of the Most High.'
Again, the Hebrew word here for "gods" is "elohiym" or "God".
Are Christians "sons of the Most High" or children of God? Yes, so it follows that we are also "gods" according to this verse.
In the New Testament, Jesus himself quoted this verse when the Jews wanted to stone Him for claiming to be God:
John 10:
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
It is not very different today -- there are Christians who want to "stone" other Christians for claiming to be gods! The latter are simply honouring what Christ has done for them.
A better covenant
So far, we have only looked at the Old Testament. Christians are now under a superior New Covenant (Romans 5:15-19). This means that Christians have it better than Adam, that is, they are in a better position today than Adam.
How so? Adam was not seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus, but Christians are!
Ephesians 2:6 -- And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
So, if Christians today are in a better position than Adam (before he fell), doesnÕt that make them gods too?
King-priests
But if a Christian finds that powerful truth hard to swallow, he should at least believe that he is a king-priest in Christ Jesus, and start living like one.
1 Peter 2:9 -- But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
Conclusion
Will believing that you are a god under the lordship of the Most High make you want to exalt yourself above God? I don't think so. The same wisdom in Paul's response to the question, "Should we sin that grace may abound?", will be applied here if you understand God's grace.
On the contrary, I believe that it would make you more appreciative of the sacrifice of Christ Jesus, which has brought you to such a blessed position. Also, this new revelation of your authority in Christ will make you want to go out and destroy the works of the devil, or run into hell with a watergun!
....No surprise, since the pride of man has no boundaries other than death (a biggy).
