A psalm of Asaph.
1 God presides in the great assembly;
he renders judgment among the “gods”:
5 “The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing.
They walk about in darkness;
all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6 “I said, ‘You are “gods”;
you are all sons of the Most High.’
7 But you will die like mere mortals;
you will fall like every other ruler.”
8 Rise up, O God, judge the earth,
for all the nations are your inheritance.

1 No student can be greater than his teacher
As long as I feel I need Samuel Lee as a teacher and must copy him, I can not be greater than Samuel Lee the best I can do is be a perfect copy and it is possible to even fall short of that.
2 i do not need a teacher
But I do not need Samuel Lee to teach me, I can learn on my own and exercise my own conscience rather than deferring moral judgment to Samuel Lee.
3 gods and judges
By training myself to distinguish good from evil and exercising my own conscience instead of deferring moral judgment to a third party, I can become like God, a partaker of the divine nature and be a spiritual person who exercises judgment.

I decided to change the title to something different than my original “I am greater than Samuel Lee,” lest I be accused of blasphemy and pride.
