Never before had I heard the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ described as divine sonship. I had always thought that justification was mere legal acquittal. This theologian was telling me that it was much more than that: It was divine adoption. Salvation meant being made a son of God.

Have to wonder what this fella had been reading all that time...Apparently his Theology and Philosophy classes didn't include a bible...

The usual comment on the thread I see. I think it is pretty safe to say that this individual is familiar with Sacred Scripture.

While perhaps it is a stretch to say most Protestants believe the Pope is the antiChrist and the Church the Whore of babylon, there are some who do (a vocal small minority).

However, that comment along I do not think discount what he has to say. Have you ever read Scott Hahn? He uses scripture a great deal, perhaps not in the interpretation you would prefer, but scripture is the focus of his writings.
