Nigel Tomes: LSM’s ATTACK ON ADOPTION This article addresses Paul's teachings on legal adoption. WL was totally wrong on this one. For starters, according to Roman Law, which Paul used to speak of our own relationship with God, adopted sons were chosen. Adopted sons had more rights than birth sons. Birth sons could be disowned, but adopted sons could never be disowned. This paper detoxed me from WL's leavened teachings on the subject.

Those are it, thanks. Tomes' paper on adoption is very long, but I think the gist can be gotten fairly quickly. I just wanted to add after reading through some of that thread that I don't mean to pretend the aspect of being "born again" isn't in scripture. It very much is, of course. But Lee totally discounted the adoption aspect that is also there, and I think that error of omission made him unbalanced on this topic to the point of leading to this unhealthy teaching of "becoming God in life and nature". The adoption side of it helps keep our understanding upright and not upside down.
