You have asked excellent questions, CD. But I think it would serve this audience best if you were to answer them. What do you suppose Jesus meant when he said they were of their father, the slanderous accuser? SATAN IS NOT THE FATHER OF BELIEVERS After all, verse 31 says that Jesus was speaking to "the people who believed in Him;" that is, people whom we would have considered "saved" (or the elite, the chosen ones, the sons of God). So, how do you explain what He meant? I believe the answer is simple. And it has nothing to do with God being the Creator of all. TRADITIONS AND DOCTRINES OF MEN It may be that what I am suggesting is NOT in opposition to what the Bible teaches, but rather is in opposition to what we've always been TOLD the Bible teaches. I try very hard to distinguish between Scripture and the "doctrines of men," which are loosely based on Scripture. Sometimes that requires me to let go of my preconceptions, which is never an easy thing to do. So, please, share your thoughts on what you think Jesus might have meant, when he claimed these upstanding believers in Christ were actually of their father, the slanderous accuser. GOD'S KINGDOM IS NOW Oh, and also explain WHY God would ever ask one of His children "Why should I let you come into My kingdom?" when that child is already IN His kingdom? What are you suggesting, by asking such a question... and on what Scripture do you base the assumption underlying the question? Thank you, CD, and I look forward to your hearing your answers. |

Greetings, God is only the father of those that have put their total faith in the finished work of Christ. John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Galatians 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. Only those that are secure in Christ can say that God is their father. God only created Adam and Eve the rest of us are procreated. Those that have total faith and trust in Gods Messiah have become a new creation as per, II Cor. 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Those that haven't trusted in Jesus are actually under God's wrath at this very moment. John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. Have you came to the place yet in your spiritual walk where you know “for sure” that eternal life is reserved in heaven for you, or is that something you are still working on? If you would be so kind and take a few minutes and fill out something about yourself in the Personal Profile section of the forum it sure would help those who are trying to post with you. It’s called USER INFO and is located on the left side of the home page. Have a great day, CDBJ |
