ACTS 17:29 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.”
Therefore since we are God's offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone — an image made by human design and skill — The logic of being offspring (genos) forbids idolatry: if humans are God's offspring, then God cannot resemble static human artifact. The inference is incisive: genealogy determines theology.
