I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten while in my chains, |
I appeal to you for my child, whom I have begotten in my imprisonment (bonds), Onesimus (i.e., useful), |
|
I appeal to you my son Onesimus (“useful”), who became my son while I was in chains. |
I appeal to you for my [own spiritual] child, Onesimus [meaning profitable], whom I have begotten [in the faith] while a captive in these chains. |
I am imploring you concerning my child [by born-one, my bairn], of whom I became the [spiritual] father while in prison – Onesimus, |
|
I am appealing for my child. Yes I have become a father though I have been under lock and key, and the child’s name is – Onesimus! |
yes, I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whose father I have become while wearing these chains. |

- My Son, My Son; Twisted Scriptures - Neil Girrard - ( in Adobe/pdf format ) The “spiritual fathering” teachers, from Paul and Peter calling Timothy, Titus, Onesimus and Mark their “sons,” have concocted a teaching that says that all men must have a “spiritual father” and any one who does not have one is an orphan who is destitute of any real place in the order and family of God. Is this the truth?
- Spiritual Fathers – 1 Corinthians 4:15; Twisted Scriptures - Neil Girrard - ( in Adobe/pdf format ) From a very scant Scriptural base, a whole system of teaching has evolved that concocts a “one size fits all” false doctrine that results in tyranny, oppression, persecution, exclusion, favoritism and a host of other evils.
