One of MY favorites is the line, "Well ... we're ALL God's children"

To which I reply, John 1:11 and 12


John 1:11-12King James Version (KJV)

11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

You are correct sir. He came unto his own, and His own received Him not. Why should we be surprised, when the vast majority of the world’s population rejects him? He predicted it. He said (Matt 7:14) only a few go to Heaven. I don’t have any idea what percentage of the world’s population will go to Hell, but I will make a wild guess, and say about 90%. That’s pretty bad, but He provided a way. Most people reject it.

I would suspect the false religionists might think that. While God is the creator of all people. He is the not the Father of any, unless they are born again believers. I am sure that the false religionists among us, will not like that, but so be it. What they think about it, will have no bearing on it.
