Scripture says the god's are son's of God. It says that they judge the earth just as Jesus said His followers would. So those who do the judging are son's of God just as Jesus said He had and has brother's. As He said His brothers do the will of God and do the word of God. So doing the word of God is doing the will of God and judging the earth as god and son of God. Jesus said that the man cannot be saved but everything is possible for god. Not God big G, though it is, but He was speaking of god little g, those who judge the earth.
Psalm 82:6
I say, "You are gods, son's of the Most High, all of you;
" 8 Rise up, O god, judge the earth; for all the nations belong to you!"
Matthew 9:28
Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man is seated on the throne of his glory, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Matthew 19:23
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly I tell you, it will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." 25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astounded and said, "Then who can be saved?" 26 But Jesus looked at them and said, "For man it is impossible, but for god all things are possible."
"My brothers, mother and sisters do the will of my heavenly Father."
"My brothers, mother and sisters hear the word of God and do it."
Jesus replied, "I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these are you going to stone me?" 33 The Jews answered, "It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you, but for blasphemy, because you, though only a human being, are making yourself God." 34 Jesus answered, "Is it not written in your law, "I said, you are gods'? 35 If those to whom the word of God came were called "gods'—and the scripture cannot be annulled— 36 can you say that the one whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world is blaspheming because I said, "I am God's Son'? 37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me. 38 But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father."
This thread shows Jesus was and is not the only son of God. Jesus Himself said so. He was the example of the only way to be a child of God. To be a God, a judge.

Correct.
In scripture the word "G/god" refers to:
1. Mighty ones (Word meaning). This includes The Almighty God, His Son, all the angels. Kings , judges.
2. Servants of God, such as the angel of the Lord, who is spoken of as God as one sent is viewed as the one sending, so that angel is spoken of as God.
3. Individuals appointed by God for a purpose, such as Moses and the Kings of Israel, both of whom have the word "Elohim/God" applied to them.
4. Those who are man made such as Baal, Zeus etc.
5. Satan as the God of this world.
6. Our stomachs.
7. Those raised to heavenly life.

Judge righteously!!!
Isaiah 11:1-5
A shoot shall sprout from the stump of Jesse, and from his roots a bud shall blossom.
The spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him: a spirit of wisdom and of understanding, A spirit of counsel and of strength, a spirit of knowledge and of fear of the LORD,
and his delight shall be the fear of the LORD. Not by appearance shall he judge, nor by hearsay shall he decide,
But he shall judge the poor with righteousness, and decide aright for the land's afflicted. He shall strike the ruthless with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked. Rightousness shall be the band around his waist, and faithfulness a belt upon his hips.

I've always felt the gods were... pride, envy, gluttony, lust, anger, greed, and sloth. These are the weapons of the evil one and the means to conversion to evil. I would add
materialism
selfishness
arrogance
hate
lying
cheating
indifference
Of course if we are proud of God then it's good (pride), or desire to have a relationship with Him (envy)... still good. If we adore our spouse (lust), wanting everyone to have their daily bread (gluttony), express righteous anger(anger), everything for the Lord (greedy), and quiet in the name of God (slothful)... then the above gods becomes good and we become more Christ like. So the gods to me were always the "dark side" of what is light. The twisting of what is good for purposes of evil. That bend in the road, the widing of the gate, the absence of light... subtle but significant changes.

Why did Jesus refer to scripture that says there are more sons of God than Himself ?
Why did Jesus say His brothers do the will of God ?
Because those who do the will of God judge righteously and are son's of God as scripture says. They are sanctified and anointed in truth as Jesus said in John 17.
So who did Jesus say does the judging ?
John 5: 26,27 " For just as the Father has life in himself, so also he gave to his Son the possession of life in himself.
And he gave him power to exercise judgment, because he is the Son of Man."
"The son of man will come at a time you least expect.
Luke 12:8
"Also I say to you, whoever confesses Me before men, him the Son of Man also will confess before the angels of God.
Notice in this verse Jesus speaks of Himself and also a different son of man.
Wait . . . let me guess . . . that second Son of Man would be YOU, Peacegiver, right????
