Quote:God doesn't claim fathership to the entire race in the Bible
He certainly seems to do so:
Galatians 4:4-7
But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.
But even if you have some exegesis which wriggles out of this one, so what? What business does God have punishing those over whom he does NOT claim fathership? Do you let your neighbours discipline your kids?
