What has happened here is confusion due largely because of assumptions. If you go back and read the entire thread again, it can be seen.
Read what I write as written. No need to guess. I am clear.
Fellas, I have seen it all. Until recently because I stepped down--I was Admin for years at Worthy Christian Forums.
LOL
I will attempt to clear up this issue of Lucifer.
A member suggested that I was in error referring to Adam the first as a son of Lucifer. The member used some logic and scriptures to make his point that Adam was and remains a son of Christ. Or conversely, that Christ is Adam's father even after the fall.
I will leave the assertion that Adam was/is Christ's son till
later.
I responded by pointing to a
created being Lucifer who was created good and who fell--the hows and whys do not matter for this discussion neither does whether or not Lucifer was actually created 'good'.
Lucifer, at any rate is no longer good at all in all sense, but possibly one (that he is serving a purpose in God's Plan).
I contend that he is not a son of Christ or the Father for that matter. So, I asked the question. If Lucifer is not Christ's son, then perhaps it can be seen that neither is fallen Adam.
Now for the "later" I mentioned up there a ways.
Personally, I do not believe either Adam the first or Lucifer were ever at any time 'sons' of Christ.
Lucifer created as an angel with angelic nature and Adam the first as a human with human nature. He was and is still an imager to a far lesser degree than intended. Adam the first never ate from the tree of Life which is Christ. Christ is the Life. God's 'Eternal Purpose' as mentioned by Paul in Ephesians (now this is my belief only) was to share 'being'--to have a family after His own law of 'kind'. We who are born from above, have been gifted with 'Christ Life'--a New to us Nature. We are sons and members of a Family and one day, it will be revealed--and in fact, we are being changed even now from one degree of glory to another.
We 'became' sons by the will of the Father when we 'ate' Christ. Adam did not eat that fruit--that Life--so he remains Adam.
I hope this clears things up, brothers.
He chuckles---all of this I assign to Romans 8:28
