Regarding/pondering
John 8:44 in relation to/which I’ve spoken/written about the works of darkness particularity that
the Children of Satin do. First off I will say that their fruits are evident
just as written. And they that do such evil and call it good are not only under
the influence of Satin/that wicked evil demonic world but they uphold the works
of darkness and in turn are the enemies of the cross. They’re the enemies of
Israel and the enemies of the gospel. They are the rebellious enemies of the
true none pagan God of hosts/the lord Yeshua (Jesus Christ). And the devils
counterfeits many falsehoods and steers people away from true salvation. So as
I say John 8:44 came in focus once again.
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.”
What is John 8:44
about? You know people that are of God can hear his word and accept it with
gladness/joy and thanks. Those that cannot hear it are not of God even if they
“think” they are! So let’s see what Matthew Henry thinks in which his opinion
as a Christian is noteworthy.
HENRY
MATTHEW COMMENTARY
8:41-47 "Satan prompts men to excesses by which they murder themselves and others, while what he puts into the mind tends to ruin
men's souls. He is the
great promoter of falsehood of every kind. He is a liar, all his temptations are
carried on by his calling evil good, and good evil, and promising
freedom in sin. He is the author of all lies; whom liars resemble
and obey, with whom all liars shall have their portion for ever. The special lusts of the devil are spiritual wickedness, the lusts of the mind, and corrupt reasoning’s, pride
and envy, wrath and malice, enmity to good, and enticing others to evil. By the truth, here understand the revealed
will of God as to the salvation of men by Jesus Christ, the truth Christ was
now preaching, and which the Jews opposed."
Now then there is an
article from 2018 I came across that made for an interesting read. I will link
to it and perhaps later talk more in-depth regarding this article and what is
being mentioned in this blog.

"Jews are the children of Satan" and the dangers of taking John 8:44 out
of context - CBS News (Link (1)) Here below is a little data credited and
pulled from the CBS article and explained Harold Attridge, Sterling
Professor of Divinity at the Yale Divinity School. Of course this is his
opinion but it is somewhat correct."
Information regarding
people’s views of John 8:44. Below a small extraction of the article.
John 8:44
"Uses of that passage and other passages that
we find in the New Testament that give evidence of tensions that were there
between religious communities in the first century, take them out of that
historical context and use them in ways that they were never intended to be
used," explains Harold Attridge, Sterling Professor of Divinity at the
Yale Divinity School."
"Rather, the passage in question is a somewhat
heated dialogue between Jesus and the crowds in Jerusalem. According to the
story in John, people have been plotting against Jesus for some time, trying to
arrest him and stone him to death. So Jesus reacts rather strongly and calls
them children of the devil. According to biblical scholars, however, this
statement was never meant to be showcased in isolation."
Prior I had written a
blog about the Synagogue of Satin Revelation 2:9 as referenced in the gospel.
And one needs to equally understand such in conjunction with John 8:44. Sure it
can be taken out of context but one would also equally need to apply Paul's
writing/bible passages to understand whom the Children of the devil are in the
first century as well as today. There are none believers, people that are
members of other religions and people that claim to be Christian that are not
but actually God's enemy. Christ said my Kingdom is not of this world. He also
said the Kingdom of God comes not by observation. Christ said the Kingdom of
heaven suffered violence and history records it as well. The LGBT community is
opposed to the gospel and refuses to repent and acknowledge the gospel so yes
they are Gods enemies. No body wishes them harm and we preach the gospel to
them. If they choose not true biblical salvation they may perish. The lord said
the gospel will be preached to the whole world and then the end will
come. What will it profit a man/or woman to gain the whole world and
perish? There are Jewish people that are deceived and yes the devil does have a hold on them and blind them to the truth just as other people.
Just look what is
written in the gospel.
2 Corinthians
6:14-17 King James Version
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with
unrighteousness? and what communion hath
light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with
an infidel?
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with
idols? for ye are the temple
of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them;
and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive
you.
God chosen nation and
people were/is Israel and the most of the prophets were Jewish and through that
nation came the gospel and the lord Jesus Christ. Pilate liked Christ but he
was under pressure and did not want an up-rising as you seem to have today in
the United States and other parts of the world at times.. Someone
connected to Pilate told him if he had Christ crucified he would be
cursed.
Remember the devil has
been sinning since the beginning and reprobates and none believers
are swimming in sin. There are people in hell right NOW! that cannot get out
and wished they listened when preached too. Judgment is coming.
There is absolutely no concord at all between light and darkness/truth and error. Learn not the way of the heathen. Jeremiah 10:2-4 There is a way that appears right to a man/woman but in the end it’s the broad way to destruction. The fear of the lord is the beginning the wisdom and wisdom is justified by her children. Sanctify them by the truth. Thy word is TRUTH. Amen

Notes: How do
we know what truth is. Revelation being prophecy and the true gospel without it
being gutted or "even" putting Paul up against the head master being the
biblical none pagan Jewish Jesus Christ. There are many pharisees in the world
that take council against the lord thy God of hosts. As it is written! 9.44 pm

Corinthians 3.7,9,11 On more independent analysis we find "7 So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but
God that giveth the increase. 9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's
building. 11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus
Christ."
And then Luke 16:14-16: "King James Version "14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they
derided him. 15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but
God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is
abomination in the sight of God. 16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God
is preached, and every man presseth into it."
