Bible Question:
Hello all I've made mental notes of some who periodically call the Lord Jesus "the second Adam" rather than "the last Adam" as it's given in this verse. Second seems to infer a third, but last seems to fit better as to the finality of what was needful to overcome Adam's rebellion. I was wondering if someone could explain this change. Steve |
Bible Answer: Steve, I don't know of anywhere else in Scripture that it refers to Jesus as the "2nd Adam." You are correct in quoting that he is the Last Adam. I think that the term 2nd Adam is just a product of mixing up terms. Saintopher |
