Thank God for inspiring Bro. Mardia Scott Jr. with correction of a traditional error. I found that the Gr.word used here is something like "hairei " and the Analytical Greek Lexicon, defines it as "3rd person, singular , present tense, indicative, and active, thus indicating that the Father does something. However, I could 't find whether that action is destructive or constructive. I feel, the gospel in general supports help for His children in Christ, rather than the traditional interpretation of discarding us. May our Lord direct and bless.
