universal fatherhood?

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. John 8:44

This blows away the false newage concept of the “universal fatherhood” of God, meaning that God is everyone’s father.   To the contrary, we are all born into sin and only those who are reborn and become “sons of God” can call God our Father which art in heaven.



And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Luke 11:2

name taken out of book of life

Revelation 22:19 – And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book

Jeremiah 27:20; 28:4 – Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim (Eliakim)

(note that Jeconiah is the son of Jehoakim, Jehoakim is the son of Josias)


Jeremiah 36:23 – And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.

(Jehoiakim cut up and burned the scroll of Jeremiah’s recording of the word of the LORD)

Matthew 1:11 – And Josias begat Jechonias (Jeconiah) and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon

(Note that Jehoiakim’s name is missing from the geneology…)

total depravity

No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day – John 6:44

And he said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.” – John 6:65

God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance – 2Peter 3:9

Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 1Tim 2:4

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life – John 3:16

God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith – Romans 12:3

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. – John 5:25

having drunk old wine

Luke 5:36-39
And he spake also a parable unto them; 
No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; 
if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old.
And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.
But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. 
No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, “The old is better.”
(whilst drunk they cannot perceive the difference between the holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean Leviticus 10:9-10)
