Summary
The Bible does not teach the universal fatherhood of God, but it does teach universal motherhood. All men, whether they're Christian or not, have a moral obligation to God because he is their Creator. The Bible teaches that God made them, and he has rights over the creature, and the creature has moral obligations to the one who made them.

All right, listen guys, I get it. Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry
00:00:04.640
because you're spending your cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and
00:00:09.540
admonition of the Lord. Praise God for you and that endeavor. However, algorithms are a thing.
00:00:16.220
Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing. And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and
00:00:22.540
effectiveness of this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments
00:00:28.080
leaving us a five-star review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our
00:00:34.860
podcast with a friend. We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless.

Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of
00:00:47.340
God. You're listening to Daily Truth. I was adopted as a baby. And here's something that
00:00:58.420
I know. I'm not an expert on adoption. I think it's pretty cool. I think it's a beautiful picture
00:01:02.680
of the gospel. But one thing that I know, it's kind of a common sense knowledge, is that my
00:01:10.220
parents, they went to the courthouse, they had a court date, they had their lawyer, I
00:01:16.860
had my lawyer, which is kind of funny, the baby has a lawyer, so I have my lawyer, the
00:01:21.340
adoptive parents, they have their lawyer, and there's this court hearing, and we have
00:01:26.720
a judge, and all those things, and if I was biologically my parents' child, if I was
00:01:33.760
biologically their child, and they went, you know, to a judge, and hired a lawyer, and
00:01:39.220
all these things, that we would like to adopt our biological child.
00:01:43.440
I think the response would be, well, I think you might lose your child
00:01:48.040
because you don't have the intelligence required to raise one.
00:01:57.960
Well, likewise, in the Scripture, in Ephesians, in Romans,
00:02:02.180
in multiple places in the Scripture that speaks of being adopted,
00:02:07.340
The Bible is not talking about God adopting children that are already his children.
00:02:12.880
The very presence of the doctrine of adoption, that God adopts us as his children,
00:02:20.340
what that assumes is that we start this life as those who are not his children.
00:02:28.820
The Bible does not teach the universal fatherhood of God.
00:02:33.620
The Bible teaches the universal creatorhood of God.
00:02:37.460
And there is a moral obligation for all human beings made in the image of God
00:02:41.820
simply as God's creatures and God being their creator.
00:02:47.720
All men, whether they're Christian or not, have a moral obligation to God
00:02:51.960
because he's their father? No, because he's their creator.
00:02:56.340
He made them and he has rights over the creature.
00:03:01.300
and the creature has moral obligations to the one who made him. The Bible teaches universal
00:03:10.700
creatorhood, but not universal fatherhood. Can I be frank with you for just a second
00:03:16.200
right here at the end? Look, some of you guys, you're financially supporting this ministry
00:03:20.960
and from the bottom of my heart, I say thank you. I cannot thank you enough. However, some of you,
00:03:28.000
you just, you can't afford it. In fact, some of you, you shouldn't afford it. Let's be honest.
00:03:35.020
I mean, we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous economy. Our nation and our totalitarian political
0.94
00:03:42.540
elites lost their minds over the last three years due to COVID. We have written checks that we
00:03:50.340
simply cannot cash. It doesn't matter if people change the definition of a recession. We are
00:03:56.580
living in a recession right now regardless. Some of you are struggling to afford a carton of eggs
00:04:03.840
at the grocery store. You cannot support financially this ministry at this time nor should you but you
00:04:11.660
could still help us tremendously. I am asking you please if you're willing to do so take one minute
00:04:18.900
of your time. Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform iTunes, Spotify, whatever
00:04:26.160
that might be, this is the way the system works. We want to be innocent as doves, but shrewd as
00:04:32.800
vipers. We need to be strategic. You leave us a five-star review and our podcast shows up for
00:04:39.520
more people. And the Word of God and courageous theology applied in practical ways to every realm
00:04:47.100
of life gets out there. Help us get it out there. Thanks for tuning in.
