The “Seed of Satan” Does the Devil Have Offspring on this Earth? Part 10
A 'Race of Serpents' Part B
Prior to that time, these Jews had been dumped by the political minded religious leaders, who had accused Yahvahosha of being a blasphemer who had threatened to destroy the Temple, and a revolutionary who intended to lead a bloody revolt against the Romans. When they learned the truth about Yahvahosha—learned of His true identity as the promised Messiah—they were 'pricked in their hearts.' having realized what they had done.
The fact is, these people did turn to Yahvah in heart-rending repentance; they did accept Yahvahosha the Messiah as Sovereign and Saviour; and they did continue in the faith, even in the face of persecution. The idea that they were a race of genetic freaks incapable of repentance flatly contradicts the Word of Yahvah.
The same kind of absurdity is found in the seeliners' interpretation of Jn 8:44, where Yahvahosha said to a group of Jews, 'Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.' These are said to be the genetically programed progeny of the Devil who could not help but imitate their father.
But notice verses 31-32 'Then said Yahvahosha to those Jews [the same group] which believed on Him, if ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.'
Obviously, if repentance and conversion had been completely impossible for these people, Yahvahosha would not have spoken these words to them. It is quite possible that some of them later became members of the Restored Covenant Assembly. This seems to be suggested in Yahvahosha's statement, 'And ye shall know the truth...' Perhaps some of them were converted on the Day of Pentecost, when the Consecrated Spirit was given. To Be Cont.
