Does The Bible call the angels gods?

Answer 1

Yes, in some instances. Not that they are the TRUE God, but they are self-proclaimed, self-serving 'godlike ones'.

Anything that is worshiped can be called a god, because the worshiper looks to it as having greater power than he does. The Bible says we can even let our belly be a god. (Romans 16:18; Philippians 3:18, 19) The Bible makes mention of many gods (Psalms 86:8; 1Corinthians 8:5, 6), but it shows that the gods of the nations are valueless. (Psalms 96:5). There is only one true God.

The Hebrew word 'elo‧him′ (gods) is the plural of 'eloh′ah (god). Sometimes this plural refers to a number of gods (Genesis 31:30, 32; 35:2), but more often it is used to show majesty, dignity, or excellence of the ONE God. 'Elo‧him′ is used in the Scriptures with reference to the True God himself(Genesis 1:1)(1Kings 8:60), to angels(Psalm 8:5, Hebrews 2:6-8), to idol gods (Exodus 12:12; 20:23), and to men(Psalm 82:1, 6)

Satan and his demons, once angels in heaven, have been hurled to the earth (Revelation 12:9) and in 2 Corinthians 4:4 and 1Corinthians 10:20; Psalms 106:36, 37 even they have set themselves up as gods.
