Son of Perdition

 Again for the foundation I want to use John 3:6 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."

The son of perdition would imply that there was a father of perdition that had a son that followed the footsteps of the father.

Lets look at the first time I see the words ‘son of perdition.’

In John 17:12 Jesus is praying to the Father and he said “While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.”

So  while in the world Jesus kept the ones the Father gave him and none of them are lost but one ‘the son of perdition.’

Before we look at this the son of perdition lets look at the word ‘perdition.’

Now the word ‘perdition’ occurs 8x in the KJV bible and it means ——> May be simply defined as the termination of life. It is "represented under a variety of aspects in Scripture:

(1.) "The" "dust shall return to the earth as it was" (Eccl. 12:7)."

"(2.) "Thou takest away their breath, they die" (Ps. 104:29).

"(3.) It is the dissolution of "our earthly house of this "tabernacle" (2 Cor. 5:1); the "putting off this tabernacle" (2" "Pet. 1:13, 14)."

"(4.) Being "unclothed" (2 Cor. 5:3, 4).

"(5.) "Falling on sleep" (Ps. 76:5; Jer. 51:39; Acts 13:36; 2 Pet. 3:9.

"(6.) "I go whence I shall not return" (Job 10:21); "Make me to "know mine end" (Ps. 39:4); "to depart" (Phil. 1:23)."

In other words “death.”

So the son of perdition would be a son of death ….. now who is the father of death?

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: Romans 5:12

Yes Adam is the father of death and they who abide in him, abide under the law of 'sin and death.'
