I think that's an accurate assesment of the passage, Methos. The Bible often mentions things like money, pleasure and even the devil himself as being 'gods'...but not in the same sense when God refers to 'other gods', a distinct reference to spiritual bieings. This confusion is a product of translation, rather than the spirit of of the initial texts.



The term "gods" is also used in a manner that could best be described as "sacastic". Where teh Scripture will refer to Pharoes or Greek gods as "gods", but isn't acctually verifying thier "godhood". It will say things such as you say there are "gods" or you believe that your "gods" etc... The scriptures say that "There is no god before me" this doesn't mean before as in prior it means in my sights or presence. Considering that the scriptures teach that God is omnipresent therefore that would rule out any other gods anywhere.
