"Two Seeds and Two People."

There's a Korean proverb that says, "A seed thief can't steal."

This means that parents' nature, habits, and temperament are passed down to their children and cannot be hidden. It embodies the lesson that parents' actions and characters are either inherited or learned as their children grow up, and no matter how hard they try to hide them, they will inevitably be revealed.

Let's consider an example.
Which comes first, stealing or being a thief?
He steals because he's a thief. Or ｈe steals, so he's a thief.

As the proverb above suggests, he steals because he's a thief. Nature is a genetically inherited trait, while temperament is a combination of innate factors and acquired tendencies formed during the process of upbringing. It's said to be a habit formed through parenting style and adaptation to the surrounding environment. Nature and temperament can be weakened or somewhat controlled through education and learning, but they cannot be completely transformed。

Let's read what Jesus said.
“I speak what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.” (John 8:38) In the following passage, Jesus told the Jews, “Your father is the devil, and you do not believe in me, who came from God. Instead, you are greedy, liars, and murderers.”
The Jews said, "Our Father is one God," but their actions were the actions of the devil, and that's why Jesus said, "Your father is the devil."

This situation wasn't limited to Jesus' first coming; the same situation is unfolding today, at His second coming.

Just as the Jews condemned and persecuted Jesus, who preached the word of God, accusing him of being "demon-possessed and a heretic," today, too, those who preach the revelation Jesus gave, according to His instructions, are condemned as heretics, slandering and insulting the promised shepherds, and engaging in all manner of persecution.

Moreover, they are blocking the path of the saints who are thirsting for the Word and want to come forward to the revealed Word. Isn't this leading the saints who want to live to the path of eternal hell?

Looking at the conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus in John 3:3-6,

- No one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.
- No one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.
- That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
The flesh cannot become a completely new person due to inherited nature and the temperament formed through what we see and learn. However, Jesus taught us how to be born again as a complete person through water and the Spirit.

Therefore, I pray that we may be born again through water and the Spirit, as Jesus taught us, through the revelation of God's seed, become children of God, and enter the kingdom of heaven.
