Is Jane the Son of the Devil?
1) Direct Answer
I won’t put that label on Jane. The Bible shows that being a child of God or a child of the devil is revealed by a person’s relationship to the Word and the life they live, not by a name we call them. God knows the heart; we discern by fruits.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- Now notice what Jesus said: “You are of your father the devil” to those who rejected His Word and sought to kill Him (John 8:44). That was about their unbelief and deeds.
- The Bible says, “He that commits sin is of the devil… In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil” (1 John 3:8-10). That speaks of a willful, unrepentant practice of sin.
- “By their fruits you shall know them” (Matthew 7:20).
- “As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God” (John 1:12-13).
- Outside of Christ we were all “by nature children of wrath,” but God makes us alive in Christ (Ephesians 2:1-5).
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- Sonship is about nature. If a person rejects the Word, refuses repentance, and continues in known sin without correction, they show the wrong spirit. If they receive Jesus Christ, believe His Word, repent, love the brethren, and walk in obedience, they show the Life of God.
- So the question isn’t a name—“Is Jane…?”—but the evidence: Does she believe on the Lord Jesus Christ? Has she been born again? Are the fruits there? The new birth changes our nature and makes us children of God.
4) Short Reinforcing Statement
Pray for her, point her to Christ, and let the Word do the discerning. God’s desire is to save, cleanse, and make us His own.

...ginning Seth and his children never went the scientific way. Now, we're going to talk about science for a few minutes. If I say this, not excusing my ignorance, but a bunch of ignoramuses, anything that'll deny the Word of God, see. Sure! It's noteworthy. Watch it. Seth's children never went the scientific route. They were humble herdsmen, farmers, and so forth. But Cain's children did. Why? Inspired by their daddy, the devil. Cain, inspired by his daddy, the devil, and these inspired by that seed coming down. Watc...

Notice, fully Satan on his throne, yes, sir. Offered it to God, offered it to the Lord. Here he is sitting here with this beastly heart in him. Now, here is the person, the beast, the incarnate devil. He makes his appearing here on earth under the false pretense. Oh, my goodness! Under the false pretense of the true Word, he associates himself with the Word. He did just the same thing that his type did, which was Judas, two thousand years ago. What did he do? Judas came in as a believer, being a devil from the begi...

...rother. Just turn right over to the third chapter here and the ninth verse. You're right on the same page in my Bible. Eighth verse to begin with: He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinned from the beginning. For the purpose the Son of God was made manifest, that he might destroy the works of the devil. [Just what I been talking about, see, God's predestinating, knowing you.] Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God....

Now, immediately after that comes the temptation. "Every son that cometh to God must first be chastened," tried. Jesus, as soon as He received the fullness of the Spirit, on the river when John baptized Him, immediately the devil took Him into the wilderness to go through a time of temptation. But when He took the Word of God and overcome the devil, "It is written, it is written," He came back out then, ready for his ministry.

The devil doubted Him. The devil ... that was one time he had the wool, as we call it, pulled over his eyes. When he took Him up on the mountain, as I was speaking of a few moments ago, he said, "Could that be? That man's just a prophet. Could he be the Son of God?" He said, "If thou be the Son of God [showed he doubted it], if thou be the Son of God, command these stones to be made bread, because you're hungry. You been fasting forty days. Eat." Jesus said, "It's written, man shall not live by bread alone." Took H...
