| | Adoptionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Adoptionism, or adoptianism, is a view held by some early Christians, that claims Jesus was born human, and later became divine during his baptism, at which point he became the adopted son of God. | | | In The Orthodox Corruption of Scripture Bart D. Ehrman argues that the adoptionist view may date back almost to the time of Jesus. | | | Adoptionism held that in his divinity Christ was the son of God by nature, but in his humanity by adoption only. |
