Jesus himself had this conversation with the religious leaders of his day. For they wanted to murder him for blasphemy because he called himself the son of God. And he even told them that before Abraham lived he was alive.
Then the Jews said to him: “You are not yet 50 years old, and still you have seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them: “Most truly I say to you, before Abraham came into existence, I have been.” So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid and went out of the temple.-John 8:57-59.
The Jews answered him: “We are stoning you, not for a fine work, but for blasphemy; for you, although being a man, make yourself a god.” Jesus answered them: “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I said: “You are gods”’? If he called ‘gods’ those against whom the word of God came—and yet the scripture cannot be nullified— do you say to me whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?-John 10:33-36.
That scripture Jesus quoted them is from Psalm 82:1:
“I have said, ‘You are gods, All of you are sons of the Most High.
Verse 6:
God takes his place in the divine assembly;
In the middle of the gods he judges.
In the Psalm Jehovah was talking to the elder men of Israel that had the responsibility of judging the people. God designated them the title "gods" or "godlike ones" in the fact that they acted as God's representatives in judging cases and holding power.
So even Jehovah God himself recognizes that there are other god-like beings, or "gods." In the Psalm he called human judges gods. Certainly, in comparison to humans angels certainly can be looked at as gods in the sense that they are higher than us. It would not be improper from this standpoint to consider the firstborn of all creation a god, or godlike one. If you think about it, we could be considered gods, or god-like to our pets. We provide for them, give them food and water, and they don't do anything to help furnish it, for the most part.
When Jehovah sent Moses to Pharaoh Moses did not want to speak. So Jehovah said that he would send Aaron, Moses' older brother as his spokesman. And that Moses would be god, and Aaron would take the place of Moses in speaking to Pharaoh:
He will speak for you to the people, and he will be your spokesman, and you will serve as God to him.-Exodus 4:16.
God is a title and while there is only one Almighty God who created all things, even in the Hebrew the title god, just as lord could be designated to others that act in the position of god or given authority from God to act on his behalf.
In fact now that I think of it, even the three angels that appeared to Abraham were referred to as God Jehovah. As were other angels at certain times in the Bible.
When the apostle John called Jesus "a god" or "a godlike one" he was not wrong in so doing. But he was not elevating Jesus to the status of Jehovah God. In fact in the very same chapter John stated that Jesus was "a god" he also stated that no man has ever seen God:
No man has seen God at any time; the only-begotten god who is at the Father’s side is the one who has explained Him.-John 1:18.
There in John 1:18 John clearly states that no one has ever seen God, but then he says that Jesus, the "only-begotten god" has explained him to us.
Jesus is the only-begotten because he was the first and only direct creation by Jehovah God. By means of Jesus Jehovah created all other things. So that no matter what it is, the things invisible and the things visible all things were created through Jesus, the only-begotten and for Jesus:
That is what scripture says here:
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; 16 because by means of him all other things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All other things have been created through him and for him.-Colossians 1:15-16.

When Jesus came to earth from the spirit realm where he existed before the universe at Jehovah's side he did not descend as an angel, and did not materialize a human body. The scripture states that Jesus was transferred from God's side and put inside the womb of Mary and was born a human child. That is he was no longer a spirit. God transferred the life of Jesus miraculously to the womb of Mary and he was born a human child and grew up as a human. And when he died he ceased to exist. Just as what happens to all other humans when they die. After parts of three days he was resurrected in a heavenly spirit body in which he was able to return to heaven to Jehovah's side. After Jesus' resurrection when he appeared as a human to his disciples this is when he materialized a human body. This would explain how he was able to appear before them in a locked room on different occasion and was able to appear to them in a form they did not recognize.
When Jesus was dead sometime during those parts of three days God dematerialized his dead human body. He did not allow it to see decay.
You cannot simply just go to heaven because you die. Jesus explained this to Nicodemus. First you must be "born again" or "born from above."
Jesus did not have free access to heaven after he was born a human until he presented himself to do God's will and was baptized with water and holy spirit. That baptism made way for him to return to heaven. Jesus said no one can enter into the kingdom of heaven unless they are born again. No one will go to heaven unless they are born again from the holy spirit. That is they are adopted as sons of God and justified on the basis of Jesus' shed ransom. All humans that go to heaven have to die. They need to be transformed just as Jesus was, this is the new creation. When they die at God's time they will be raised in incorruptible and immortal spirit bodies in the imagine of Jehovah God and Jesus Christ.
Before Jesus was raised to heaven there was only one person that possessed immortality. That was Jehovah God. That gift was granted Jesus after he died faithfully. All the anointed chosen and faithful that remain so down to the end also partake of divine nature and will go to heaven in spirit bodies far higher than the angels or the Devil. In that respect you can also say that they will be gods, or godlike ones.
The quality of their life is indesctrubible. They will never decay, they are able to live from within themselves unlike the other angels. It appears that this quality of life they possess in the from of God is also too powerful for humans to look upon. For it is said that Jesus Christ is too bright for a human to look at directly:
Scripture explains the nature of Jesus this way:
Our Lord Jesus Christ, which the happy and only Potentate will show in its own appointed times. He is the King of those who rule as kings and Lord of those who rule as lords, the one alone having immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see.-1 Timothy 6:14-16.
Jesus was the only one gifted immortality. But when the anointed Christian congregation is raised to heavenly spirit life they also put on immortality and will be like Jehovah God and Jesus Christ:
For this which is corruptible must put on incorruption, and this which is mortal must put on immortality. But when this which is corruptible puts on incorruption and this which is mortal puts on immortality, then the saying that is written will take place: “Death is swallowed up forever.”-1 Corinthians 15:53-55.
Those of us who have been called and chosen to reign in heaven right now cannot see Jehovah God or Jesus Christ just as they are, as they are spirits, and are too brilliant for our eyes to look upon. Jehovah told Moses that no one could look upon his face and live. But when we die and we are given the immortal spirit bodies then we will see him, that is God into his eyes, and we will see him and know him just as he is. For just as we bare the physical, then we will bare the spiritual. And just as he is we will be:
For now we see in hazy outline by means of a metal mirror, but then it will be face-to-face. At present I know partially, but then I will know accurately, just as I am accurately known.-1 Corinthians 13:12.
