Thesis 41: The Character of “gods”

Political mediators are “gods”[1] and “saviors.”[2]

Notes
1. Exodus 21:6; 22:8-9,20,28; 1 Corinthians 8:5; 2 Peter 2:10 + Jude 9; Psalm 95:3; 82:1; 138:1; Jeremiah 2:28; cf. Deuteronomy 29:26, #22, #35; Exodus 34:15/Leviticus 17:7/2 Chronicles 11:15
2. Judges 3:9 - 16:31; Obadiah 1:21.

References
Politicians are "political mediators." They are called "gods."

They mediate salvation between the Sovereign and the People.

There is no need for priests and gods under the New Covenant. They were temporary and remedial.

There is now only one true Mediator, one true Savior, one path to salvation.

Thesis 28 may be deleted and incorporated into this thesis.
