1 | the last Adam | 1 Cor 15:45 | makus | 217993 | ||
What is the meaning of this scripture? 1corinthians 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. |

2 | the last Adam | 1 Cor 15:45 | Makarios | 217994 | ||
Greetings Makus! 1 Corinthians 15:45 "And so it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit." (NKJV) Here is a bit of commentary on this verse: "15:45-49 Here Paul answers the question (v. 35) more specifically by showing that the resurrection body of Jesus Christ is the prototype. He begins with a quotation from Gen. 2:7 with the addition of two words, "first" and "Adam." Adam was created with a natural body, not perfect, but good in every way (Gen. 3:1). The "last Adam" is Jesus Christ (Rom. 5:19,21). He is saying that through the first Adam we received our natural bodies, but through the last Adam we will receive our spiritual bodies in resurrection. Adam's body was the prototype of the natural, Christ's body of the resurrection. We will bear the image of His body fit for heaven (Acts 1:11; Phil. 3:20,21; 1 John 3:1-3) as we have borne the image of Adam's on earth."

3 | the last Adam | 1 Cor 15:45 | lionheart | 217995 | ||
Makarios, Brother I'm more than likely not fully understanding. Until Adam sinned wasn't what God created (his body) perfect? In Him, lionheart |

4 | the last Adam | 1 Cor 15:45 | alex39 | 217999 | ||
Lionheart, Thank you! That's what I was thinkig too! and that Adam was created immortal as there was no death at the time of his creation. Isn't the difference that the first Adam was created from the material (dust of the earth) and the second Adam was "created" (for lack of a better term) or became (?) of the spiritual as well as the material (the Spirit and a woman's body)? The rest of the differences are self-explanatory. Alex |

5 | the last Adam | 1 Cor 15:45 | Makarios | 218001 | ||
Greetings Alex! One thing to consider: If God had created Adam as 'immortal' or perfect, then why would God have included the tree of life (Gen. 2:9) in the garden? Why would man need to eat of the tree of life if he was already immortal? And why would God include death as a consequence (Gen. 2:17) of disobedience if man was already immortal? Blessings to you, Makarios |

Makarios, I cannot answer why the tree of life was in the Garden any more than I can answer why the tree of life is in New Jerusalem (Rev. 22:2, 14)- but it's there too! Alex |
