         "You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your   
          father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does   
          not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When   
          he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar   
          and the father of lies." (John 8:44, ESV)   
      
         "The field is the world, and the good seed is the sons of the   
          kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one." (Matthew   
          13:38, ESV)   
      
         "and said, 'You son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness,   
          full of all deceit and villainy, will you not stop making   
          crooked the straight paths of the Lord?'" (Acts 13:10, ESV)   
      
         “Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the   
          devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of   
          God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.” (1 John   
          3:8, ESV)   
      
         “By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are   
          the children of the devil: whoever does not practice   
          righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love   
          his brother.” (1 John 3:10, ESV)   
      
   God does in fact cast into the lake of fire, those who are "cursed".   
   These are NOT His children, but the children of the devil:   
      
         ““Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you   
          cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his   
          angels.” (Matthew 25:41, ESV)   
      
   --   
   Have you heard the good news Christ died for our sins (†), and God   
   raised Him from the dead?   
      
   That Christ died for our sins shows we're sinners who deserve the death   
   penalty. That God raised Him from the dead shows Christ's death   
   satisfied God's righteous demands against our sin (Romans 3:25; 1 John   
   2:1-2). This means God can now remain just, while forgiving you of your   
   sins, and saving you from eternal damnation.   
      
   On the basis of Christ's death and resurrection for our sins, call on   
   the name of the Lord to save you: "For 'everyone who calls on the name   
   of the Lord will be saved'" (Romans 10:13, ESV).
