Deuteronomy 10:16-17Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked. 17 For the Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:
It this passage the context is about circumcising heart and being no more stiff-necked therefore the gods in this case are those that seek to be like Jehovah in true righteousness and holiness. He is their ideal-model of righteousness and holiness.

Dt 10:12 And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
Dt 10:13 and to observe the LORD’S commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?
Dt 10:14 To the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it.
Dt 10:15 Yet the LORD set his affection on your forefathers and loved them, and he chose you, their descendants, above all the nations, as it is today.
Dt 10:16 Circumcise your hearts, therefore, and do not be stiff-necked any longer.
Dt 10:17 For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes.
Dt 10:18 He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the alien, giving him food and clothing.
Dt 10:19 And you are to love those who are aliens, for you yourselves were aliens in Egypt.
Dt 10:20 Fear the LORD your God and serve him. Hold fast to him and take your oaths in his name.
Dt 10:21 He is your praise; he is your God, who performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw with your own eyes.
Dt 10:22 Your forefathers who went down into Egypt were seventy in all, and now the LORD your God has made you as numerous as the stars in the sky.you so wrong i don;t even try to explain it just read it

i ask to read it ;but you did not ,or did you but could not see it that you are wrong ;
Dt 10:21 He is your praise; he is your God, who performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw with your own eyes.
Dt 10:17 For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes.
YES GOD ALMIGHTY MADE GREAT WONDERS ;AND BECAUSE OF IT HE AS PROVEN THAT HE IS THE GOD OF ALL OTHER GODS
T,
In both cases the words “your God” means god with all its attributes. There is only one God that has all the attributes of God.
K
that is not the point ;we all know that there is only one that is the Almighty one and creator ,the father of Jesus Christ but all that does not mean that there are NO other mighty beings in heaven or on earth ,and so are called gods (the word god mean mighty one)
you seam deviate from the original point ,
I feel no more interest to discuss wind ,if you cannot see truth in scriptures it is because you yourself have no truth in your soul,
T,
There us only one that has all that has all the attributes of God therefore there others cannot be a what he is. The most they can be is like him in a one or more attributes.
In Deuteronomy 10:16-17 Moses is telling us Jehovah our God is God is like those who are like him. The context is telling us he is calling us to be righteous as he is righteous.
K
are you repeating what I have said or you try to show me that i have it wrong ?
for your are mixing many things there ,you are talking just like blowing your lips
T,
I am showing you the reasoning that I use as well as attempting to address your point.
Your point being that since angels are like God in some ways they can be called gods. There is a verse where they are literally called gods but it is not Deuteronomy 10:16-17. Deuteronomy 10:16-17 is not even speaking of those that are like God in that they are worshiped as gods by their people.

NO,NO< you have it wrong ;god means mighty one " many are mighty ones on the earth all the kings and giants, angels, and presidents, and emperors, like Napoleon/hitler/genghis kahn /and others the nature as nothing to do with it ;the nature only influences the higher status or power , but they all are called gods just like being in management in a big corporation ;but how closer you are to the top boss how higher your status is , so it is with angel gods and men gods ;this is so basics scriptures tells it all
Jesus said NO MAN knows the son nor the Father;
And you are contradicting him, just as if nothing?
Shall we listen to you, and makes Jesus a liar?wakeup.
T,
God does not mean mighty one. God after all is more than mighty. The Hebrew word for mighty is gibbowr. Some believe it is derive from ul which means either to be mighty or to be front and is similar to the Hebrew word for ram. That sounds like what your derive your belief from. El is never used for mighty. It has a meaning similar to god in English.
It may come from alah(terrify) or alih(to be perplexed, afraid; to seek refuge because of fear) instead.
It is always possible both are true.
Terricca……The Israelites brought all kinds of God’s with them when they left Egypt, they even made to themselves one of gold, a golden calf when Moses when up to get the ten commandments, these people actually believed in those false God’s, this is what i believe THE LORD OUR GOD was addressing when he made that statement. If you understood what the word God means, you would understand it means more then just might or mighty one, as Kerwin said, that only one atribute of a GOD, it is any kind of worshiping relationship a person has with anything that exists.
Your very car or house, or wife, or childern or job or anything can be a God unto yourself, what ever you serve and worship is your God, BUT THAT does not actually make them a “TRUE” GOD, maybe to you, but not to the true God.
JESUS TOLD US PLAINLY THAT THERE IS NO “TRUE” GOD, BUT THE ONE AND ONLY “TRUE” GOD. Not only that Pierre, but God hmself said he looked for others God’s and found “NONE. Did you throw those scriptures out ofyour bible?
DO YOU NEED ME to get them and repost them again. YOU TELL US you will believe the bible, like we don’t, but you seem to only believe what parts you want to , and reject the rest in order to get a true picture , right? Remember the SUM OF SCRIPTURES IS THE TRUTH, NOT JUST ONE little PART but the whole parts put to gether give the truth.
When God was referencing that he was the God of God’s, he was referencing the false God’s which Israel brought with them out of EGYPT. IMO
Peace and love to you and yours. ……………..gene
