Jesus said "you are gods" in John 10

John 10:31-39 NIV

31Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, 32but Jesus said to them, "I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?"

33"We are not stoning you for any of these," replied the Jews, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God."

34Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your Law, 'I have said you are gods'? 35If he called them 'gods,' to whom the word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken— 36what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, 'I am God's Son'? 37Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does. 38But if I do it, even though you do not believe me, believe the miracles, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father." 39Again they tried to seize him, but he escaped their grasp.

Notes from an email related to this verse.

He is saying you have been appointed by GOD (as judges ) to act on God's behalf? How would you do that? By invoking the spirit of God to act IN YOU - hence becoming God as you "die to yourself" and allow the spirit of God to reign in you? Then who is living in you? Christ (GOD & the Holy Spirit) or Dehvon or Christian? We are gods because we are GOD when we bow to His Spirit and surrender our vessel. (But our problem is that we don't believe we can surrender our vessel! And that is why we can only act at the level of our own faith - Matthew 9:29)

The enemy would have us believe that we are separate from Him, and our understanding breeds just that. "I could not be God... I could not act on His behalf... I am too low... I am too unworthy"...We spend our whole life trying to gain union to God through life and finally in death, but through Christ' death we are given union to God as we become part of the Tree of Life.

We become the branches that bear the fruit HERE on this planet in the physical form - as we are fed by the vine (the spirit). We know nothing of our spirit! We can't even say a word of it's substance!!! We are on the physical plain here bearing fruit of the spirit for the spirit by the spirit. Hoping in the action of the spirit as well as the openness of our own spirit!

We become one with God and in this transformation and metamorphasis of self - we are God. But we are God in HUMILITY and NOT PRIDE!!! That is a HUGE difference! When we are HUMBLED, He is exalted. In our weakness (or nothingness or "getting out of the wayness") the Lord is exalted... no wait.. WE are exalted, why? Because we are God. I dare to say the disciples of Yeshua Ha-Mashiach are the Lords hands and feet on this planet.

Why else would we be called THE BODY?

For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. Matthew 23:12

Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:4-5

I and the Father are one. John 10:30

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27

I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God. Luke 9:27

Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you. Luke 17:20-21

Then he touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith will it be done to you. Matthew 9:29
