A hasty conclusion, is it not?
The Bible tells us we adopted as sons.
Eph 1:5
having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will
A silly example, but I've seen videos on Youtube of dogs 'adopting' kittens, etc. The point is, though God is our Father, that doesn't translate into us being 'God'.
