If you have a biological child, that child is your literal blood lineage. They may become your pride and joy, or even your worst nightmare. But, they are still your child.
You can given them up for adoption, disinherit them, otherwise disown them,Êand never see or speak to them again. But, nothing can erase that blood lineage; not even a transfusion.
Your child could be of a saintly sort, a mass murderer, or anywhere in-between. But, no matter what might separate you from them (no matter the type of hell they choose to live in, no matter how they disgrace you) that blood lineage can not be erased.
You can choose 'not to be' a party to their waywardness. You can let them make their own choices, and either suffer or be blessed as a result. You can chastise them. You can cry and scream in your wrath. You can thunder down on them and even let them die in their sins. But, you cannot erase that blood lineage.
God created man ... and all of you are children of the most High. Psalm 82:6 Do we really believe God could stop loving us, that He createdÊman more righteous than He?
Art thou not from everlasting, O Lord my God, mine Holy One? We shall not die. O Lord, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction. Habakkuk 1:12
Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously. Psalm 96:10 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. John 17:3
This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation ... the living God, is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. --1 Timothy 4:9-10
