Alan--your quote above is in reference to the adoption--long after the spirit and body are originated by a F(f)ather. We make choices during our time of accountability which determines who we are adopted to--and they become our father--in adoption, not the originator.
IOW--the spirit and the body have been present a long time before we make choices, and either become the child of the devil--or God the Son. That does not in any way account for the origins of the physical body or the spirit.
