Default Re: Plumb the depths of Adoption

If you read Evangelical's posts, particularly his earlier ones in this thread, you will see the concept that this term "adoption" is erroneous because we have the life and nature of God, which is not implied in Adoption. That is the concept that is pushed by WL and is pervasive in the LC. The problem is that they are misinterpreting the meaning of Adoption, it isn't referring to being a child of God or being born of God, but rather it refers to Jesus inauguration as Lord of All and Heir of all things. That was a legal decree. There is no guarantee that being a child of God means you are also one with the Lord of All and Heir of all things.

Jesus said 'if you abide in Me ask whatever you will and it will be done for you'. That indicates that the prerequisite is not simply to be a believer, but to be one (to abide in) the Lord of All.
