LSM's Attack on Adoption - Tomes

[TLFisher]

Translaters of the recovery version choose to use the word sonship instead of adoption. Not that's wrong, but it is misleading. Sonship is a generic term.
Whether by birth or by adoption, it's still sonship.
For example a brother I know who was adopted, he's the son of the husband and wife who adopted him.

Both aspects are true. We are genuine sons, born of our Heavenly Father. We are also legally adopted sons. John stresses the former, while Paul stresses the latter, using the Roman legal system as a backdrop.

As was his pattern, Lee picked one side and pitted it against the other, as if all Christians since the first century had completely missed out on his message. Thus was his "recovery."
