No. They are a matter of calling your self awareness Brahman or God.
But then what is meant by 'your'?

There you go.
Oops...here goes
Even better...matter calling self awareness Brahman or God

Awareness per se doesn’t name anything.
That is the brain function called consciousness.
So... matter calls self awareness Brahman or God.
(Not that there’s anything wrong with that
)

Yeah. And Brahma makes **** happen, Vishnu takes care of business and Shiva functions like an asynchronous tree-walking garbage collector (it’s a thing, trust me).
I don't see what the Bible verses have to do with the subject.
One always has self awareness -- to varying degrees.
A god may be realized/created in more than one state, but at maximum awareness one has transcended any gods and Reality/The universe becomes Self and nothing but Self.

More like Brahma creates illusion, Vishnu maintains it, and Shiva dissolves it.
Once dissolved, all that's left is Brahman.

That is not my view. Advaita is different.There is none other than Brahman in the universe; neither Brahma, nor Vishnu, nor Shiva too.

You shouldn't confound Brahman (the Absolute) with Brahma the god. Or Brahma the chicken breed. Just saying.

I didn’t confuse them. That post was about the functions usually attributed to Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.
And btw, you have a fowl sense of humor.
when there is awareness only of exterior things, whose minding the house? or what is minding the house? the lights are on but nobody is home?
(22) Jesus saw infants being suckled. He said to his disciples, "These infants being suckled are like those who enter the kingdom."
They said to him, "Shall we then, as children, enter the kingdom?"
Jesus said to them, "When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female; and when you fashion eyes in the place of an eye, and a hand in place of a hand, and a foot in place of a foot, and a likeness in place of a likeness; then will you enter the kingdom."
what then is the kingdom of brahman if not I AM?

Doesn't Saguna Brahman manifest itself as gods or goddesses in bhakti yoga?

You cannot apply Abrahamic logic (whatever it is) to Eastern / Hindu view.
If Brahman alone exists, then whom will it rule over? None ruled, no ruler.

I do not have this 'slave and master' mentality. Don't act foolish (though your nick is that).
Sure, but you know that is not my view.
