7. Steals your relationship with the Father
THE FAKE GOSPEL

8. 1 What I am saying is that while the heir in
a household is a child there is no
difference between that child and a
servant in the house, even though the
child is the future owner.

9. 2That child is placed in the care of tutors
and other carers until the time set by the
father. 3 We used to be just like those
children: we were under the tutelage of
this world’s order

10. 4When the right time came God sent his
Son. He was born of a woman and born
under the law 5 so that he could redeem
those who were under the law and they,
in turn, could be adopted as sons.

11. 6Because you are sons and not slaves, God
has sent the spirit of his Son into our
hearts. This is how we are able to call
God our dear father. 7 You are no longer a
servant but a son and, if you are a son,
then by God’s action you are an heir.

12. 8When you didn’t know God you were
serving things that were not gods in any
way. 9 Now that you know God and
experience a relationship with him, how
can you turn back to things that are weak
and poor and want to serve them all over
again.

13. 10You are observing special days and
months, seasons and years. 11 I am afraid
for you in case my work among you will
count for nothing.

14. STEALING YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO YOUR FATHER
1. Robbing you of
the opportunity
to live as adult
sons/daughters
– becoming little
children needing

manipulated
and cosseted.

2. Robbing you
of your
inheritance
from God
through
enslavement

16. STEALING YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO YOUR FATHER
3. Making you
the subject of
humanly
derived
principles
rather than
supernatural
revelation.

17. STEALING YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO YOUR FATHER
4. Making you
depend on
what is weak
and
impoverished.

18. SONS AND DAUGHTERS

to make possible.

all about.

21. SONS AND DAUGHTERS

when you have been
adopted.

within testifies about.
