oh ok...

well, then, there is not that much daylight between us. I just think the meaning of adoption was thought of differently 2000 years ago in Rome than in America today as I previously stated.

I think Piper veered into the swim lane of sonship when he said this "*2. Adoption did (for God) and does (for us) involve the legal status of the child." and "*5. Adoption brought us, and brings our children, the rights of being heirs of the Father."

But at least in the summary UntoHim posted on this topic Piper didn't go much further than that.... (and I don't know what he meant exactly with the "brings our children" part.....maybe there is something off there... have to think about it).

Thanks
Drake
