My Note: Ye are of your father the Devil Ref. Scripture John 8:44-45
"Ye are of your father the Devil", Christ said to the Jews
Scripture: John 8:44
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.
45 And because I
tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
Most
Christians don't believe Christ meant this literally; they believe him
not!
Just
as he said we wouldn't!
2nd scripture John 8:31 ¶Then said
Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then
are ye my disciples indeed;
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the
truth shall make you free.
33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed,
and
were never in bondage to any man:
how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
If the above underlined statement is true then these Jews knew they were not descendants of the 12 sons of Jocob/Israel because the Israelites were indeed slaves in Egypt. It is true of these particular Jews because they were descendants of Cain who had attached themselves to the Jews of Judah but were not of Judah.
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily,
I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35 And the servant abideth not in the house
for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
36 If the Son therefore shall make you
free, ye shall be free indeed.
37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but
ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
38 ¶I speak that which I have seen
with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham
is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye
were Abraham's children, ye would do the works
of Abraham.
40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that
hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then
said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even
God.
42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your
Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither
came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech?
even because ye cannot hear my word.
44 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.
45 And
because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
Fellow
Christian, are you paying attention! If
you do not know what really happened in the first few chapters of Genesis
and especially in garden of Eden you will never truly understand the rest
of God's Word.
They were the
descendants of Cain, who was not Adam's son, but rather the Devil's son
just as Christ said in verse John 8:44.

Spirit, you accomplish both.
