An example of what you're talking about is Chemosh, the national God of the Moabites. Unkind things are said about him, but there's no implication he's not real.
And the Psalms refer to multiple gods often.
[Yahweh] has taken his place in the divine council,
In the midst of the gods he passes judgment. . . .
And all of you, sons of Elyon [God Most High]
Instead like Adam you shall die,
And like one of the ‘Shining Ones’ you shall fall.”
“Arise, O Yahweh; Judge the earth!
May you take possession of all the nations!”
There Is a distinction between "God" and "god".
If one is a child of God, then that makes him a "god".
One cannot be granted eternal life, one must have always existed in order to be eternal, therefore the "gods" are those that have always existed with God.
Currently we're in a fallen state as the scripture says.
Quote:John 10
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
Quote:Job 38
4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
