LDS Mormons and Psalm 82

Yes interesting topic. As LDS believe they will have eternal increase from God. I've always found that intelligence of a person is built into their brain. You can study all you want and learn as much as you can but still be limited by your brain as far as IQ. But with God He can give us the Gift of Knowledge and Wisdom making us temporarily highly intelligent, at least until the gift passes away.

But I would like to see how the Bible supports their view. I'm not really interested in hearing support of their view from the LDS revelations section since I feel much of their revelations are false.

Paul was looking forward to a peculator calling when he wrote the following verses:

(New Testament | Philippians 3:13 - 15)

13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

(New Testament | 1 Corinthians 7:20)

20 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.

(New Testament | Ephesians 4:4)

4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

(New Testament | 2 Peter 1:4 - 10)

4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

I am a partaker of the divine nature now while on earth, it's by grace that I don't sin and do instead good.

I also assume you're referencing the "godliness" he's asked us to be part of. But that is for us now while we live on the earth. Do you think you're a god now? There is nothing that speaks of being made into a god in the afterlife.

I think if you twist the words you might see it that way. But the word is godliness and the definition is:

god·li·ness
/ˈɡädlēnəs/
noun
noun: godliness
the quality of being devoutly religious; piety.

And Jesus gave prophecy regarding are heavenly state already: Matthew 22:30

I think what you're asking is to ignore Jesus' teaching and go with Joseph Smith's supposed revelations. And JS as a prophet is already easily debatable.

No one is asking you to ignore Jesus Christ or the Bible. I certainly don't ignore them, in fact I quote the Bible frequently. I do not believe you have received the high calling of God in Jesus Christ yet, the one Paul was looking forward to. However, you may believe differently.

I believe in order to partake of the divine nature you have to be a resurrected being. Read the scripture below:
2 Peter 1:3-5 King James Version (KJV)
3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

God has given us all things pertaining to life and godliness. That is true, and could be reflected in this life as the Holy Spirit guides us into all godliness on earth. The word 'promises' in vs 4 (which would imply 'in the future') are that we will partake of his divine nature in the future.

Our training and learning ground however, is this earth, where we put into action what we have been given of God. If we walk in his light, and act with all godliness and keep his commandments and do his will, then he promises us, after the resurrection, that we might be partakers of his divine nature for all eternity. We will live with God and Jesus and we will be like them for our eternal lives.

We do not ignore Jesus at any time.

You added to the scriptures to get that interpretation. When I read it I see nothing regarding the resurrection as a god. Which is one reason I'm no longer LDS. The conflict of LDS and the Holy Bible are numerous. We could start an entire thread on that, but I think it would probably end up pointless. Since LDS swear to believe their self appointed prophets, seers and revelators. I would advise you to let go of the LDS ideas and read the bible and take it at face value. Then you will see that LDS have many false revelations. Sure perhaps some of the LDS revelations are from God, because I don't think God just forsakes LDS followers. He does teach them. But I think, as He did for me, that He teaches LDS people to prove that many revelations they follow are false.

If you're reading those scriptures you posted open minded, and at face value, then you should still see what I suggested in my previous post. HTH

Phoebe Ann said:

Answer: Let’s start with a look at Psalm 82, the psalm that Jesus quotes in John 10:34. The Hebrew word translated “gods” in Psalm 82:6 is Elohim. It usually refers to the one true God, but it does have other uses. Psalm 82:1 says, “God presides in the great assembly; he gives judgment among the gods.” It is clear from the next three verses that the word “gods” refers to magistrates, judges, and other people who hold positions of authority and rule. Calling a human magistrate a “god” indicates three things: 1) he has authority over other human beings, 2) the power he wields as a civil authority is to be feared, and 3) he derives his power and authority from God Himself, who is pictured as judging the whole earth in verse 8.
What does the Bible mean by “you are gods” / "ye are gods" in Psalm 82:6 and John 10:34?

Are ye gods?
In jurisprudence there are two types of authority: de facto and de jure. The Most High God (Elohim Himself) has de facto authority. It is an un-derived authority. He has it because He is God. De jure authority, on the other hand, is derived, or delegated authority. And delegated authority makes one responsible to the one who did the delegating! The second half of verse 6 is a solemn reminder that these judges are called “Sons” of God, because they are to represent faithfully a justice which reflects their “Father,” the Judge of all the earth.


“You Are Gods”?

God is still teaching me.

James Talmage, a Mormon Apostle, said Psalm 82:6 is not about becoming gods.

"In Psalm 82:6, judges invested by divine appointment are called 'gods.' To this scripture the Savior referred in His reply to the Jews in Solomon's Porch. Judges so authorized officiated as the representatives of God and are honored by the exalted title 'gods.' Compare the similar appellation applied to Moses (Exo. 4:16; 7:1). Jesus Christ possessed divine authorization, not through the word of God transmitted to Him by man, but as an inherent attribute. The inconsistency of calling human judges 'gods,' and of ascribing blasphemy to the Christ who called Himself the Son of God, would have been apparent to the Jews but for their sin-darkened minds." (James Talmage, Jesus the Christ, p. 501). -- Mormons often quote Psalm 82:6 which Jesus quoted in John 10:30-34 to show that we can become gods. Rather than them believing the truth from a Christian, perhaps they will believe it from their own apostle.

Psalm 82:1, 6, where ʼelo·himʹ is used of men, human judges in Israel.

They were gods in their capacity as representatives of and spokesmen for Jehovah.

Similarly, Moses was told that he was to serve as “God” to Aaron and to Pharaoh. (see Exodus 4:16)

I appreciate that you are partaking of the 'divine nature' in this life and it is leading you away from sin and unto goodness. Thank you for your good works.

Is this 'divine nature' extended to you even after you are resurrected? I believe that it is, and as you overcome this world and sit with Jesus in his throne, you will be like him, and will be as a joint-heir of all that the Father has, you will have all that the Father has.

What will you be if you inherit all that the Father has?

This is one mans opinion and I would like to see the rest of the chapter to see if he quotes other scriptures that man can become a god. I am sure, he believes that man can become a god, but he does not believe that Psalms 82:1,6 is a scripture that portrays that.

I respect his scholarship, and his position, but I happen to believe that it is only his opinion also. There are others that disagree with him and would make a compelling case that this scripture does give an insight that godhood on earth is not that different than godhood in heaven. As representatives of God on earth, and He call us gods, it gives me hope that I can be a joint-heir with Christ and inherit all that God the Father has. If I am able to overcome this world, and have all that the Father has, I can not only be a god to a small amount of people here on earth, but a god to many billions of people after the resurrection.

No, this is one man's opinion. We all have our opinions.

The doctrine is: man can become like God and be a god. He just does not believe that this scripture portrays that. He can have that opinion, but he still believes the doctrine.
