This also debunks Yogananda’s interpretation that all men are “potential gods” through awareness of God’s presence within us, since the judges lacked all knowledge (meaning they had unfulfilled potential) and yet still wore the title “gods.” If those who are ignorant can be called “gods,” then this is not a title for the enlightened. It’s a title for something else. The “gods” to whom Jesus referred meet none of the conditions laid out by New Age teachers.
