Joh 10:34: Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
“your law” Jesus uses that phrase when he talks to the religious leaders about psalm 82. Here it says, “is it not written in your law . . .” They, the religious leaders, have taken God's law and have twisted it into their own law in the sense that they use it for their own ends. Over the generations the leaders have determined that only a certain interpretation can be applied to God's word: their own interpretation, no one else's. They have stopped understanding it according to god's sense. Perhaps they feel they can an amend it as we would amend the U.S Constitution.
It must have taken some length of time to go by tradition from God's intended meaning of his word to man's meaning. Perhaps some of this change was influenced by the desire to control the congregation into certain actions, certain ways of thinking. Who knows better than those who have gone to Bible school? Surely the trained clergy knows better. Perhaps they feel they can an amend it as we would amend the U.S Constitution.
Step-by-step inch-by-inch, here a little and there a little.
But let me also be quick to say: he who has not read the Bible for himself is in no position to challenge one who has. A person who has gone to Bible school most likely knows much better than he who has not even read his Bible.
