Why are the elohim like angels?
by I_love_Jeff inas you (jws and ex-jws) well know the jehovah's witnesses interpret psalm 82:6 " ' you are gods*, and all of you are sons of the most high (god)' " when you hit on the asterisk (using the 2012 watchtower library), you will notice the following interpretations: or, “godlike ones.” heb., ʼelo·him′; gr., the·oi′; syr., daʼ·la·hin; lat., di′i; t, “like angels/ human judges.”.
notice here that "t" is the targum onkelos to be exact.
firstly, why is the word "elohim" interpreted as "like angels" if their is no such interpretation in the entire hebrew bible (masoretic text)?

Wtwizard:
Even "Satan" means something totally different in Sanskrit than in Hebrew. In Hebrew, "Satan" means "adversary". In Sanskrit, "Satan" means "truth"
Can you verify this with evidence mate???

The serpent in the Garden can’t be secretly Satan
by Doug Mason inwe know that the serpent in the garden can’t be secretly satan, because the first time satan is mentioned by name is in a story chronologically after this one, and in that, he is said to be walking.
remember that the serpent was cursed to crawl on his belly all the rest of his days, but in the book of job, satan is still walking around and chatting with god as if they’d never had a falling out.
this is when god had to ask satan where he’s been, because his infallible omniscience obviously didn’t know.. so if he had to ask that of satan, who is later described as the lord of lies, then why would god believe him?

IMHO god was the control freak (as is the gb) and satan wanted freedom for adam and eve. So satan is POMO!

Skepticism, without it we would be Positives and no negatives,therefore zero charge... this gives rise to devil/satan characters likehim.
I do believe he is just an imaginary entity to put the blame on when someone does something bad religiously speaking. If one does good, has something good happen to him....he is blessed ie god did it. when something untoward/bad happens satan is behind it. So never is any human responsible for his actions, his hardwork or lack thereof...or bad choices made etc.Then why the hell are humans put behind bars for the crimes that satan made them commit by luring or whatever bs is stated. Even god punishes people for sinning!
Weird reasonings and teachings. I do not believe in all this and feel so much better for it.(Sorry all,I must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed)

Boy something is seriously wrong with my brain!
But then again , now I cant even remember bible verses, songs (I am not regretting it though).I suppose I am healing myself quicker than one would think!
I am very Happy.

according to american atheists, their organisation had received multiple complaints that the jws were proselytising outside various government facilities.. said aa’s virginia state director larry mendoza:.
we would rather that government property be free of religious speech altogether.
