Hello, Great point, S. I've done some studies into adoption during the first century AD, and I agree with your point. During the New Testament period, an adoption was such a contract that could not be undone, or broken by any legal means. Not even the government could nullify the adoption contract. It was permanent. Also, an adopted child could not be denied his/her inheritance under any circumstances. This was largely to do with the practice of concubines and mistresses and the children born through them. In order to declare who was legitamate and who was not, the head of the house would adopt the legit children. Place that historical meaning with Romans 8:12-17, and you get eternal security. Jesus Loves You! Jesusman |
