Note the following: We have rendered the words ho Theos at Genesis 1:1 as 'The God,' not just 'God,' as is found in most Bibles. Recognize that throughout the Bible there is usually a 'the' ('ho') preceding the Greek word for God (Theos) when it is speaking of the Almighty.
An emancipated minor is a child who has been granted the status of adulthood by a court order or other formal arrangement. This status is not automatically bestowed on minors who have simply moved away from their parents' homes, however.
An emancipated adult is someone under the age of majority who is declared an adult in the eyes of the law. North Carolina recognizes 18 as the age of majority, or the age at which state residents are legally considered adults, as do most other states. But state laws also govern a minor's eligibility to become emancipated, give consent to medical treatment, and other legal matters.
