Orthodox Apologetics

John 8:41 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. 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. 47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

1 John 3:8  He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. 9  Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10  In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 12  Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother.

1 John 5:18  ¶We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

Romans 2:24  For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.

Matthew 3:1  ¶In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, 2  And saying, Repent ye: for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. 7  ¶But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8  Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: 10  And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Matthew 4:17  From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

Mark 1:14  ¶Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15  And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the Gospel.
