John 1:1-3 All things were made by him

Ps 33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

or principalities, or powers: all things were created by

Heb 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions,

Eph 3:9 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:

Heb 1:10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:

Isa 63:2-3 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat? 3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.

**** Note: The KJV quotes Jesus in John 10:30 as saying “my” Father” while most other version [RSV, ASV, ESV] say “the” Father. Why is this error important?

·       Jesus was speaking to the Jewish Leaders who had chosen to reject Him as the One prophesized of in Isa 9:6. The Father was not their Father; their father was the devil (John 8:44). The Father is not the Father of all, but only to those who to those who have received Him (John 1:12) and led by the spirit (Rom 8:14) to receive him.

·       The world wants all to believe we are all God’s children.
