The scriptures speak about two types of adoption - those being adopted into the house of Israel and being adopted by Christ through his atonement. We are all children of God the Father, but when Christ paid for our sins he takes on the responsibility for us and our actions just like a real parents is responsible for their children.
This topic has really shown to mean how important it is to have a prophet. While reading these scriptures, I saw about thirteen different ways you could interpret them to mean a wide range of doctrines. I get frustrated when I don't know what the scriptures are talking about, and I think if I was reading them without the foundation I have I probably would have pulled out all my hair.
