Ok ZNP.
But I understand the point that the term “adoption” by itself as we understand it does not confirm a life relationship.... it confirms a positional status. Neither does the term “adoption “ in our modern definition express the idea of inheritance for a person may be adopted but not necessarily become an equal inheritor with say a son born of a father in the same family. I don’t think many Christians upon hearing adoption think “ in the Roman family....”, rather, I think they consider the meaning like an orphan that obtains a family and gets cared for.
Yet, where do you disagree with Brother Lees definition in Ephesians 1:5?
