The English word “family” has a very specific, and very narrow meaning in modern English.

If someone asks you, for example, “How’s your family?”, it is generally understood two ways, depending on whether or not you are married and have your own children.

It either means you and your spouse, along with any children you have, or it means you and your parents, and any siblings that you have.

However, such a concept of “family” only started in 15th Century in Europe, more than 1400 years after the Bible was written.

Here is the entry for “family” from the website etymonline.com, which traces the history of English words (emphasis mine):

family (n.)

early 15c., “servants of a household,” from Latin familia “family servants, domestics collectively, the servants in a household,” thus also “members of a household, the estate, property; the household, including relatives and servants,” abstract noun formed from famulus “servant, slave,” which is of unknown origin.

The Latin word rarely appears in the sense “parents with their children,” for which domus (see domestic (adj.)) was used.

Derivatives of famulus include famula “serving woman, maid,” famulanter “in the manner of a servant,” famulitas “servitude,” familiaris “of one’s household, private,” familiaricus “of household slaves,” familiaritas “close friendship.”In English, sense of “collective body of persons who form one household under one head and one domestic government, including parents, children, and servants, and as sometimes used even lodgers or boarders” [Century Dictionary, 1889] is attested by 1540s.It is attested from 1660s as “parents with their children, whether they dwell together or not,” also in a more general sense, “persons closely related by blood, including aunts, uncles, cousins;” earlier “those who descend from a common progenitor, a house, a lineage” (1580s).

Hence, “any group of things classed as kindred based on common distinguishing characteristics” (1620s); as a scientific classification, between genus and order, from 1753.

Latin familia often was glossed in Old English by hired, hyred “household, family, retinue” (for which see hide (n.2), and also by hiwscipe, hiwræden, hiwan “members of a family, household, or religious house,” which is cognate with Old Norse hjon “one of the household; married couple, man and wife; domestic servant,” and with Old High German hiwo “husband,” hiwa “wife,” also with Lithuanian šeimyna “family,” Gothic haims “village,” Old English ham “village, home” (see home (n.)). A 15c. glossary has, for Latin familia, Middle English a menge, from Anglo-French maisnie “the household, the whole attendance upon the personal establishment of the feudal lord.”

As we can see from the historical uses of the English word “family,” its original meaning went far beyond what is today referred to as “the nuclear family” consisting of only parents and their children.

Before the “Industrial Age” and the “Age of Enlightenment” and the “Protestant Reformation” in Europe, the term “family” was more broadly understood in terms of location and “estates”, and included more than just those with a biological relationship, but also included slaves and other humans who were part of that “estate”, or “household” but not necessarily biologically related to each other.

Therefore, when you see the English word “family” used to translate certain passages in the New Testament which was written in Koine Greek, you need to understand that the choice of the translators to use “family” is 100% subjective, as there is no underlying Greek word that means “family” in the modern sense.

This is easily seen by doing searches in the English Bibles today, where the older English language translations seldom used “family” at all, but the more modern English translations use it quite a bit.

For example, in the old “King James Version” (KJV), it is only used once.

The single occurrence of the word “family” in the KJV is significant, in Ephesians 3:15.

Here is the verse in the context of the chapter:

For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. (Ephesians 3:1-19)

The reason why the word “family” is significant here, is because it clearly refers to ALL created beings created by God, both “in heaven and earth”, which derive their “name”, or “identity”, from their Creator, God, whose most common name used in the Scriptures, is “Father.”

Within this context, Paul is clearly stating the Gospel message, which is that through Jesus Christ, everyone now has access to the “Family of God,” including Gentiles (non-Jewish people), regardless of whatever earthly “family” one belongs to.

In the older New American Standard Bible (NASB), the word “family” is only used 6 times, including Ephesians chapter 3.

In the “newer” 1984 “New International Version” (NIV84), it is used 22 times.

In the “Good News Bible” translation, the most modern translation of these four, which was originally developed for non-native English speakers as an allegedly easier way to understand the Bible, it is used 45 times.

When you read the “names” of people in the Bible, both in the Old Testament as well as in the New Testament, you clearly see that there were no “last names” or “surnames.”

People were identified from the household/family they came from, such as “son of [fill in the blank]”.

So this transition of the modern concept of “family” closely follows the Western concept and history of “surnames” or “last names” during the same time period.

History of English Surnames

Have you ever wondered where your surname comes from? Or how surnames evolved? In England surnames weren’t widely used until…

Excerpts:

Have you ever wondered where your surname comes from? Or when people start using surnames (last names) and why?

In England, surnames are also commonly known as last names due to the practice of writing the given names first and then the family name or surname last.

Historians generally agree that in 1000 AD England about 10% of the population were slaves, the rest were unfree. By unfree, the ‘great unwashed’ were either villeins, bordars and cottars², or serfs of varying status, all bound to the land by their lords and masters. Most people moved so little that they needed only a first name to identify themselves. Even among the knightly class, hereditary surnames were rare.

Surnames weren’t widely used until after the Norman Conquest in 1066. As the country’s population grew and to allow the new King William I to extract the relevant taxation, it became necessary to distinguish between people and so names began to include descriptions of the person, such as Thomas son of John, Peter the Baker, Richard the Whitehead, Mary Webster, etc. These descriptions would grow to form the surnames we recognise today.

To begin with, surnames were fluid and changed over time, or as a person changed his job. For example, John Blacksmith might become John Farrier as his trade developed.

The introduction of parish registers in 1538 helped establish the idea of hereditary surnames. However it was still common in some parts of the country to find a person entered under one surname at baptism, married under another name and then buried under a third.

Today there are perhaps as many as 45,000 different English surnames, derived from all kinds of sources: nicknames, physical attributes, trades, place names etc.

Jesus’s “Family”

So every time you see the English word “family” in the Bible, if you want to truly understand what the original text written in Greek is communicating with that English word that someone chose thousands of years after the Bible was written, it is helpful to use an electronic Bible program like eSword, to see what the actual Greek words are in the original text.

Let’s look at a passage in the New Testament from the Gospel of Mark that I have quoted in some of my articles, about the “family” of Jesus, and then look at what the underlying Greek words actually are.

Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat.

When his family heard about this, they went to seize him, for they said,

“He is out of his mind.”

Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him.

A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him,

“Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.”

“Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked.

Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said,

“Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.” (Mark chapter 3)

This is quoted from the NIV84 translation. And even within the context of this chapter, we can clearly see how Jesus understood the context of “family”, and that it went far beyond biological “family” members who are identified here as “mother and brothers”, and extended to his disciples, of whom he gave preference, in at least this incident, over his biological family members.

If we look at some other translations of this verse in Mark 3, which is verse 21, we begin to get an idea of what was actually being communicated here:

And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself. (Mark 3:21 KJV)

And when His own people heard about this, they came out to take custody of Him; for they were saying, “He has lost His senses.” (Mark 3:21 NASB)

So it is very likely that more people than just Jesus’s “mother and brothers” came to him at this time, and could have included other people in his “household”.

There are actually two underlining Greek words used here: παρά (para) – from, of at, by, besides, near – and αὐτός (autos) – himself, herself, themselves, itself.

Personally, I think the NASB is the closest to the original, “his own people.”

We know that Jesus was not born into a household that was considered “slaves” or “servants,” as his mother’s first husband, Joseph, was a tradesman, and ran his own business, which could have included quite a few people.

Was Jesus’s behavior of constantly going against the cultural norms, and even daring to oppose the religious leaders of this day, becoming an economic drain on their “family business”??

As I have previously published, the most common understanding and translation of the “trade” or “craft” that the household of Jesus’s family practiced, is “carpenter.”

But the actual Greek word used, tektōn, which is a word group in the Greek that gives us English words today such as “technology”, could also be translated as “mason”, a worker of stone, and not just wood.

Here is what I have previously published on this:

Next, let’s look at the English word “craftsmen” that is used here to refer to Demetrius and the others (Acts 19).

The word in the original Greek texts is τεχνίτης – technitēs.

This is the word group that we get our English words “tech”, “technology”, “technologists”, etc. from.

In classical secular Greek, it meant “craftsman or builder in wood, stone, or metal“.

It is also used in the Greek translation of the Old Testament, such as in this verse describing the building of Solomon’s temple:

You have many workmen: stonecutters, masons and carpenters, as well as men skilled in every kind of work.
(1 Chronicles 22:15)

Another Greek word from this word group in Greek is tektōn, which is used of Jesus in Mark 6:3:

Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him. (Mark 6:3)

All the English translations I have, which is over a dozen, including the KJV, ALL translate this word as “carpenter.”

This is what the New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology by Collin Brown, Volume 1 published in 1967 (originally published in German), on page 279 states regarding tektōn:

tektōn appears only in the identification of Jesus by the people of Nazareth as “the carpenter” (Mark 6:3), “the carpenter’s son” (Matthew 13:33).

Though “carpenter” is the common rendering here, tektōn could equally mean “mason” or “smith” (as indeed some of the Fathers took it) or it could mean that Joseph and Jesus were builders, so that both carpentry and masonry would have been among their skills.

This was a new revelation to me as I studied Acts 19 today in preparation for writing this article, and the Holy Spirit prompted me to look up the original word in the original texts for “craftsmen”.

And of course it makes a lot of sense and correlates with many other passages in the Bible that refer to Jesus as a builder of stone.

Jesus is also referred to as the “cornerstone.”

As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

For it stands in Scripture:

“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”

So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe,

“The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,” and

“A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.”

They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. (1 Peter 2:4-9)

So should we really be calling Jesus a “carpenter” or a “mason”?

I did a search to see if there were others who had studied and discovered this, and of course there are.

Here is one video I found that confirms this. Note: I don’t know the person in this video and I know nothing about his other teachings, just what he describes in this video which confirms my own study on this.

The True Gospel of Jesus Christ Threatens the Business of the Freemasons and Technocrats

Call no Man your “Father”

Hopefully by now everyone who is reading this can see the difficulties in the English translations of the Bible, which was written in Middle Eastern culture, and not Western Culture, and there are many problems with these translations, especially with an English word like “family”.

And many of the English words that were originally chosen by King Jimmy in England, in the “authorized” version, were politically motivated, as I have pointed out in other articles I have written over the years, words like “church” and “pastor” which are wrongly used intentionally so that the King could establish his religious authority during the “Reformation Period” and even challenge the authority of the “Pope” in the Catholic Church.

Two English words, for example, that are used throughout the Bible that do not exist in the original texts, are “wife” and “husband”, which I exposed in the article I wrote about sex and marriage. See:

Christian Teaching on Sex and Marriage vs. The Actual Biblical Teaching

The Greek words are the words simply for “man” and “woman”, and the context defines whether those words are used in the contract of “marriage” or not, which in the ancient world was considered a binding contract between two “families” (households).

One of the most mis-interpreted sayings of Jesus, in my opinion, is when he told his disciples to call no man on earth “father”, a “family” term.

Here is the full context, which deals with the religious leaders of his day (Pharisees and Scribes)

Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples, saying:

“The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses. Therefore, whatever they tell you, do and comply with it all, but do not do as they do; for they say things and do not do them.

And they tie up heavy burdens and lay them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves are unwilling to move them with so much as their finger.

And they do all their deeds to be noticed by other people; for they broaden their phylacteries and lengthen the tassels of their garments.

And they love the place of honor at banquets, and the seats of honor in the synagogues, and personal greetings in the marketplaces, and being called Rabbi by the people.

But as for you, do not be called Rabbi; for only One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers and sisters.

And do not call anyone on earth your father; for only One is your Father, He who is in heaven.

And do not be called leaders; for only One is your Leader, that is, Christ.

But the greatest of you shall be your servant. Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled, and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.” (Matthew 23:1-12)

Jesus was speaking to his Jewish audience, and specifically criticizing the Jewish leaders of his day. These Jewish leaders who opposed and killed Jesus, claimed superiority over Jesus because they claimed Abraham was their “father.”

Jesus made it clear that they did not recognize the true “father” of Abraham, and instead followed their actual “father”, the Devil.

So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him,

“If you continue in My word, then you are truly My disciples; and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

They answered Him,

“We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, ‘You will become free’?”

Jesus answered them,

“Truly, truly I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin. Now the slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever.

So if the Son sets you free, you really will be free. I know that you are Abraham’s descendants; yet you are seeking to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.

I speak of the things which I have seen with My Father; therefore you also do the things which you heard from your father.”

They answered and said to Him,

“Abraham is our father.”

Jesus said to them,

“If you are Abraham’s children, do the deeds of Abraham.

But as it is, you are seeking to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do. You are doing the deeds of your father.”

They said to Him,

“We were not born as a result of sexual immorality; we have one Father: God.”

Jesus said to them,

“If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I came forth from God and am here; for I have not even come on My own, but He sent Me.

Why do you not understand what I am saying?

It is because you cannot listen to My word.

You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him.

Whenever he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.”

(John 8:31-44)

So when Jesus told his disciples to “not call anyone on earth your father”, the Jewish culture and how they viewed Abraham as their “father” has to be understood in this context.

Jesus refers to two “fathers” in John chapter 8: God the Father who is the creator of heaven and earth, and Satan, or “the devil”, as the “father” of those on earth who do not acknowledge God the Father and are therefore not part of his “family” or “household.”

Slaves or Freemen – The Household of God and the Children of Satan

One of the main things that the Satanic Jews (Zionists) have done in modern, Western culture, is redefine “family” to mean the “nuclear family” of parents and their children, but only 2-3 children because more is considered “irresponsible” in modern Western culture.

The nuclear family is the bedrock of modern Western culture, and the infamous “Middle Class,” is simply a kinder, and gentler version of “slavery.”

The “Middle Class” that arose in the United States, especially after World War II, is what has fueled tremendous economic gain for the ruling classes through the present times.

Only the rich have large “households” in the true, historical sense of the word and concept of “family,” because it reaches far beyond biological nuclear families, and extends around the world where the goods sold and bought in the U.S. have been largely produced by the economic lower classes outside of the U.S. in places like Asia, and especially China, until recent times where China now has its own “Middle Class” and is quickly overtaking the U.S. as the economic center of the world.

Rich billionaires, like Elon Musk and Telegram founder Pavel Durov, have fathered hundreds of children through In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), and their technology platforms are responsible for a large part of the child sex trafficking networks.

These are the kinds of “families” that run the world today, serving their “father” the Devil.

The illusion of the mostly White, Conservative Christian families in the Middle Class is that they actually believe that they are “free”, as they put in their 9-5 work days 5 times a week, and believe that they can actually own things, like a car, a house, etc.

But everything the Satanic system allows them to purchase and “own” can easily be taken away through government actions, if they do not fulfill their duties to the State as busy worker bees, or to use the term mostly used throughout the history of mankind, SLAVES.

The small, Middle Class nuclear family is the economic model of slavery today, as their labor performs what is necessary to keep the Satanic system running.

Their lifespans are carefully calculated by the insurance companies to ensure maximum profits, which can be adjusted by mass population events such as a fake “pandemic” and new, “lifesaving” drugs and vaccines that they line up to take, believing their slave masters.

The number of children born to them has been carefully controlled for decades to be about 2 to 2.5 per “family”, so as to not overburden the system with the education and health care costs to take care of the children from the Middle Class slaves.

And if you are not from the White, Conservative Christian majority, but from the minority classes, your chances of having your children kidnapped from you and given to the rich is exponentially higher, as is your chance of being killed by the system because they are dependent upon government “health” care.

I have much more to write on this topic, but it has already become a long article that probably very few will read, and even fewer will understand.

But this is the conclusion: You either belong to the “family” of God, where God is your Father and Jesus is your brother, or you belong to the world system ruled by your father Satan.

God only has one biological family member: The “One and Only” (or some translations “begotten”) Son of God, Jesus Christ.

The rest of us are born into Satan’s kingdom, and the only way out of his family is to be adopted into God’s.

I am writing this and delivering this true message to the public today as an adopted son of God, and co-heir of the inheritance to come through Jesus Christ.

Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation—but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it.

For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship.

And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”

The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. (Romans 8:12-19)

Video clips from an interview that aired on the BBC with a Jewish attorney, Yehuda Shimon, who lives in the West Bank, have gone viral in the past couple of days, as the attorney openly admits that the life of one Jew is worth 10 million Palestinian lives, because of what he claims “the Bible” teaches.

Full video here.

Israeli West Bank settler tells BBC attacks on Palestinians are justified as revenge

by the BBC

Excerpts:

The Israeli settler outpost of Havat Gilad, deep inside the occupied West Bank, is spread across several hilltops, its sheds and simple block houses clearly visible from neighbouring Palestinian villages.

Last weekend saw a wave of settler attacks on Palestinian villages in the area, after an Israeli security guard from Havat Gilad was killed during a confrontation between Palestinians and Israelis in the village of Tal last Friday.

Four Palestinians and an Israeli soldier were also killed in the incident, the original cause of which is disputed.

After spending the weekend speaking to Palestinians around Havat Gilad, we drove into the outpost itself, to ask one of its residents about the violence, and the expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

It is rare for an international media organisation like the BBC to be allowed into these outposts. But on this occasion, Yehuda Shimon, a lawyer with an organisation that represents Israelis arrested for violence against Palestinians, agreed to speak.

He told me that attacks on Palestinian villages last weekend were justified as revenge for the killing of the outpost’s security guard.

“I think now, after they killed one Israeli, we need to kill all the people in Tal and Sarra, even Jit and Farata,” he said, naming the Palestinian villages closest to the outpost.

I put it to him that he was equating one Jewish life with hundreds or even thousands of Palestinian lives.

“No,” he said, “millions. One Jewish life, it’s 10 million [Palestinians].”

Challenged on the racism of his statement, he did not deny it.

“Yes, I know,” he replied.

“But this is the truth, because God chose us [and] because of this you are jealous.”

What is interesting about this attorney’s words are his use of the word “Bible”, because the Jewish religion does not follow the Bible, nor believe it is true.

The Bible is divided between the “Old Testament”, centered on the Law of Moses, and the “New Testament”, centered on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The Jewish religion does not accept the New Testament, because they do not recognize Jesus Christ as the Messiah.

So why would this Jewish attorney use the word “Bible”, whereas most Jews would instead use words like “Torah”, to refer to only the Old Testament part of the Bible?

The reason is obvious. There are more Zionists who believe what he said in this interview among Christians, than there are among Jews, and it’s not even close. Many Jews do not accept Zionism, and without Christians, the Zionism cult would probably quickly die away.

So to appease the Christian Zionists, he purposely used the English word “Bible.”

You can look at almost any war today that has been started by the U.S. or Israel, and find its Zionist roots, with the attitude that Americans are superior to other countries, or that Christianity is a superior religion to other religions, like Islam, and that therefore the people in these other countries or religions need to be massacred and wiped out in acts of genocide, based on their nationality or religion.

Christian Zionists in the Trump Administration, for example, are the ones who decided to start a war with Iran. See:

U.S. Military Officers Reveal the Real Reason Trump Bombed Iran: To Fulfill Evangelical Zionist Prophecy and Begin “Armageddon”

The BBC, interestingly, has done more than most corporate news networks in exposing the attitudes of these Jewish settlers in the West Bank.

Here is a trailer to a documentary they produced last year, where they interview an American Jew living in the West Bank who has the same belief system as this attorney Yehuda Shimon does.

There is, of course, nothing in the Bible that supports this belief system. To deprogram yourself from this cult, please read the exhaustive report I have published previously on Christian Zionism:

Modern day Western culture, post Darwin, exalts the physical side of mankind, while almost completely ignoring the spiritual side.

Every person alive today has both a physical body, and a spirit which gives life to the physical body.

The LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. (Genesis 2:7)

The human spirit is different from the spirits of other created beings, and is what makes us “human”.

God, the creator of heaven and earth, is pure spirit. His spirit is often referred to in the Bible as the “Holy Spirit.”

When a new human being is born, that child inherits the human spirit from their parents.

The one exception was the promised Messiah, Jesus Christ, who had no earthly human father, and was born from a virgin woman. He was the first human being ever born from both the human spirit, and the spirit of God.

The apostle John, who was the closest to Jesus during his earthly ministry, is the one who has written most extensively about the spirit of God entering into the human race.

This is what he wrote in Chapter 1 of his Gospel:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not overcome it.

There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe.

He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.

The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.

He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.

Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. (John 1:1-13)

John wrote extensively about the spiritual rebirth, and how one could become “born again” through the spirit of God. Many Christians today, particularly Evangelical Christians, like to talk about being “born again”, and a survey done in the United States a few years ago found that almost 50% of the population of the United States believe they are “born again.”

That fact alone should alert people that most Americans truly do not understand what “born again” means as defined by the Biblical texts, and especially the writings of the apostle John.

Most Christians will start with John Chapter 3 and the conversation that Jesus had with a Pharisee named Nicodemus about this topic, but this concept of being born of God starts first here, in Chapter 1.

One way to define what something is, is to point out what it is not, which is what John does in the 13th verse of Chapter 1:

children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. (John 1:13)

The first word used here by John, which in this particular English translation of the Bible is translated as “natural descent”, is in the Greek literally “blood”, in the plural: BLOODS.

Even the older English translations, such as the KJV, only uses blood in the singular:

Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (John 1:13 – KJV)

The Greek word is αἷμα (aima), which Thayer’s Greek dictionary defines:

1) blood

1a) of man or animals

1b) refers to the seat of life

1c) of those things that resemble blood, grape juice

2) blood shed, to be shed by violence, slay, murder

In his writings in the New Testament, the apostle John very frequently distinguished between the “Godly Jews” and the “Satanic Jews”, particularly in Chapter 8, showing how the Jews who claimed to be descendants of Abraham had no special privileges just because they came from the same “family tree.”

So when he chose to use “blood” here in Chapter 1 in the plural, he is clearly including every single human family tree, or “bloodlines”, and how none of them matter when it comes to being “born of God.”

To be “born of God,” is to be implanted with the spiritual seed of God into our lives.

This is what John wrote in his first letter, 1 John:

No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God. (1 John 3:9)

The Greek word for “seed” here is σπέρμα (sperma).

This word is used 44 times in the New Testament. However, depending upon what English translation of the Bible you use, the English word “seed” is only used about half the time, and mainly when referring to actual, physical seeds, such as the seeds of plants.

A good example is Matthew Chapter 13, where sperma is used 5 times and translated into English as “seed”  in three different parables that Jesus told:

Jesus told them another parable:

“The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.

When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.

The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’ ”

‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.

The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’

‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters:

First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.'”

He told them another parable:

“The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field.

Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches.”

He told them still another parable:

“The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough.”

Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable.

So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet:

“I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.”

Then he left the crowd and went into the house.

His disciples came to him and said,

“Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”

He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom.

The weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil.

The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age.

The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.

They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear. (Matthew 13:31-43)

The other English word that is used most often to translate sperma is “descendant”, usually the “descendant” of Abraham, referring to his physical family tree.

Some examples:

They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?” (John 8:33)

I know you are Abraham’s descendants. Yet you are ready to kill me, because you have no room for my word. (John 8:37)

concerning His Son, who was born of a descendant of David according to the flesh, (Romans 1:3)

nor are they all children because they are Abraham’s descendants, but: “THROUGH ISAAC YOUR DESCENDANTS SHALL BE NAMED.”

That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants. (Romans 9:7-8)

“Descendants” is the same word in the Greek, sperma, which means “seed.”

Two Kinds of “Seed” – Physical and Spiritual

We can see, therefore, that Abraham had two kinds of seeds/descendants: physical seeds according to his family bloodline, and spiritual seeds through the spiritual rebirth that Jesus offers through faith in him.

For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s descendants, heirs according to promise. (Galatians 3:27-29)

Family bloodlines have no value in the Kingdom of God, not even Abraham’s bloodline.

And while many Christians today understand that, they just claim that they are “born again” so that they can be included in all the promises that were given to Abraham, and fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

But what comes out of a person’s mouth in terms of what they claim, is not what counts in the end. Because everyone can lie equally, and even lie to themselves about who they think they are.

No, John made it very clear as to who the children of God are who have received his spiritual seed and how we can recognize them:

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!

The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.

Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.

But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.

Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. He who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous.

He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.

No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.

This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother. (1 John 3:1-10)
