See how things change.. you are quoting Paul to me, and I will quote jesus to you
Jhn 8:38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
Jhn 8:41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, [even] God
.Jhn 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.
Mat 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one];
To be a child of God one must be adopted ...

You will note that in context, the verses that you have quoted outline that it is the choice of doers.
Matthew 23: 8 6 As for you, do not be called 'Rabbi.' You have but one teacher, and you are all brothers. 9 Call no one on earth your father; you have but one Father in heaven.
And who was He speaking to? Matthew 23:1 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples,
God is the Father of all men; there are those who adopt the ways of evil and who choose an evil father...
