"I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you." (John 8:37 KJV)
"When we tell you these things, we do not use words that come from human wisdom. Instead, we speak words given to us by the Spirit, using the Spirit's words to explain spiritual truths. But people who aren't spiritual can't receive these truths from God's Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can't understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means. Those who are spiritual can evaluate all things, but they themselves cannot be evaluated by others. For, "Who can know the LORD'S thoughts? Who knows enough to teach him?" But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ." (1 Corinthians 2:13-16 NLT)
Maybe this is a lesson in learning how to listen, because there are things being said, that if we were listening, would open up the eyes of our hearts, and we might have a whole new attitude about this world's condition. Have you heard the new facts that are being spewed out from the mouths of idiots? Sorry for being blunt, but I will not believe it until I see it; but a certain woman of authority was asked, "Do you believe biological males can get pregnant and have an abortion?" And she said, "Yes!"
My mother had this saying, "The nuts are running the not-house!" I have a very strong feeling that the Lord is coming at any moment, because it really can't get much stranger than this! By the way, in case you didn't know this, but Sodom and Gomorrah was not destroyed because of the wickedness going on within their cities; they were destroyed because it had become the way of the land. They had made wickedness the way to live; making it better off to be wicked, then to be the way God made them to be.
You try to figure out what that might mean, because things are getting very close to the edge, shall we say, of pure wickedness! Anywho, this little thing that Jesus shares, "but ye seek to kill me," may or may not have been pointed directly at them. As we shall see, the seed that Jesus spoke of was their being descendants of Abraham, purely based upon physical birth; but the statement, "but ye seek to kill me," was the reference to their spiritual birth, that of being the seed of the devil.
Don't think for a moment that the devil is not behind all of this, because he is the god of this world, and he wants to take as many people to hell with him as he possibly can. As my mom always said, "Misery loves company!" If you get enough people to be corrupted as you are, then you can start feeling like you are normal, maybe even borderline special.
I might not know why it happens, but I do know how it happens: The Word has it...
"Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn't worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. And instead of worshipping the glorious, ever living God, they worshipped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles. So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other's bodies. They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshipped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen." (Romans 1:21-25 NLT)
