Call No (Hu)man Your Father ….
Matthew 23:9. And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Why do you suppose the Father had Jesus to tell us those words? Is that reasonable to you? Is your earthly parent your “father”? Do you “judge after the flesh” (John 8:15) and “according to appearance” (John 7:24)?
Hebrews 2:6. But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? 7. Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
My response to that is “who” is asking that question? Surely the questioner is either IGNORANT or feigning ignorance? A Heavenly Spirit of light would not ask such a stupid question. But a dumb “image of the Beast” (demon) born in the pit of hell (earth environment) “post fall” might ask such a question to put doubt in the minds of blind men! “According to appearance” and “after the flesh” it seems that men in one generation beget the offspring of the following generation as it is in the animal kingdom and lower forms of life. Cellular division is the reproductive process for even lower forms of live and in the viral world parasitic DNA/RNA replication in a host is the how their forms continue to exist.
What we know of man
Genesis 1:24. And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. 25. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 26. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 31. And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Isaiah 45:9. Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? 10. Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth? 11. Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12. I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
Psalm 127:3. Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
Ezekiel 16:20. Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Is this of thy whoredoms a small matter, 21. That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them?
Isaiah 63:16. Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel
Hebrews 2:14. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15. And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Luke 24:37. But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a (demonic) spirit. 38. And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? 39. Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a (demonic) spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
All human beings are the sons and daughter of the Father, “born to Him from the womb”. No human being with flesh and bones is of the devil, an “evil spirit”!
Paternity question
“Who is your daddy” in the popular vernacular in the USA
John 5:39. Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
“Don’t worry! Be happy”, as the popular song says!
Glorify God!
God did it!
