I think He meant that we were more than what you can ,feel see or determine with any of our other senses. That we were spiritual. That His kingdom was spiritual. That while we were in this world we were not of tis world. T4

Colossians 3:4
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
Ephesians 4:11-13
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Everyone is the "son" of God and potentially equal to any other sun of God and/or sun god. Suggest that some long-haired radical socialist reform rabbi from 2000 years ago was exposed to Buddhism?

The other two answers you received are quite incorrect and lack knowledge of the Scriptures. Jesus, in John 10:34 quoted Psalm 82:6. "I said, "You are gods, and all of you are sons of the most high." In John's Gospel chapter one verses 12 and 13. It reads as follows. 12. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, 13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." St. Paul stated in Romans 8:14, "For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God."
You will find that the Scriptures will give you the answers you are looking for. In this section of "ANSWERS" you will find a lot of unhappy detractors who nothing else to do but criticize.

The gods Jesus was referring to were the judges of the Old Testament, who proclaimed and adjudicated according to the Law, and were, therefore, looked upon as those who had the power of a god.
Jesus, in the New Testament, was questioning the angry mob because they considered the judges of old gods, but couldn't consider him as well, for the sake of argument.

Jesus was pointing out that men who were judges were called gods and they didn't think this was blasphemy,which it wasn't because God called them this. Jesus said he was God's Son. He never said nor did he claim to be God(John 14:28). He knew that they knew full well he was sent from God, so they shouldn't have accused him of blasphemy.

Jesus here was quoting from Psalm 82. The judges of Psalm 82 were called "gods" because in their office they determined the fate of other men.

I think you mean what did the people who wrote this 100 years after the "facts" meant. The bible is not a book of god but a book written by men who have political and monetary gains in mind.

I don't think he ever said that, that the writer of John threw that in there to promote the gnostic and mystical version of the story he was writing.

Here, "your law" is the law of lies. Then he tells of one, basically this., "ye shall be as gods." The serpent gave the law to us.
