I USE TO BE A BASTARD - FATHERLESS
Description
Always keeping it real with himself, DR. FERMAN, painfully speaks on the hurt from the realization that he came from a long line of devils and a long line of "bastards."
Deuteronomy 23:2: "A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even unto his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD" (KJV).
Deuteronomy 23:2, in some cases, is referred to as the "bastard verse." The "bastard" and his or her offspring was not allowed to really be true members of the family union. Completely, all second hand and third-hand treatment. The "bastard" treatment comes with a feeling of being an un-loved orphan.
Hebrews 12:8: "But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons" (KJV).
This is another key scripture concerning "bastard-hood," which uses "bastards" as illegitimate children of GOD.
FATHERLESS -- not experiencing God's discipline . . . not just lacking earthly fatherly correction.
- Judges 11:1: Introduces Jephthah as a "mighty warrior" but also "the son of a prostitute," highlighting a prominent figure of potentially illegitimate birth.
