- Affected Teachings
- There is no reason given as to why this was changed in the Vaticanus
manuscript. However, we do know that this is another attack on the fact that
the Lord Jesus Christ is God the Son. By changing “my” to “the,” it also
gives the impression that God is the spiritual Father of all of creation.
Jesus was telling us here that God is His Father but by removing “my” it
also removes the revealing of the relationship of Jesus to God. By using
“the” any group on earth can claim that God is their Father. In the eighth
chapter of John, Jesus was debating the Pharisees when they had claimed that
God was their Father.
-
- (John 8:41-44 KJV) Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to
him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. {42} Jesus
said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded
forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. {43} Why
do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. {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.
-
- Here we see a perfect example of a group claiming to have God as their
Father. The Jewish leaders had claimed that God was their Father but Jesus
quickly corrected them in telling them that if they were truly of God, then
they would have known who He was and would love Him. He then went on to tell
them that they were of their father the devil. Let me repeat, by using the
word “the,” any group can claim that God is their Father. The only group on
Earth that can legitimately claim that God is their Father is the body of
Christ who was redeemed by the blood of Christ, who is God the Son. The word
“mou” in the Greek is a personal pronoun in the genitive case. The genitive
case shows possession and that is why the Lord Jesus said “my Father” and
not “the Father.”
