1. "Bill you are totally into flesh and blood - even
your theology is earthly." Not only is this an ad hominem
argument, it is also untrue. If of late my focus has been upon Christ's human
nature, it is only because the humanity of Christ has been to topic of our
discussion. At no time, however, have I failed to also uphold the truth
of his divinity. This post included.
2. "The first Adam was fruitful and he did multiply - in the
flesh." As I acknowledge in my post, Judy:
Adam's sin brought death not only to himself but also to all of his
descendants -- Jesus included. However, it was only after the fall
that he did this; hence all of his posterity were born under the curse of sin
-- Jesus included.
3. "The second Adam, contrary to your claim was not
born into the fall." Christ was born of the fruit of David's
genitals, Judy. He is the Offspring of David and the Seed of Abraham. Both
David and Abraham are Adam's descendants; hence Christ is Adam's
descendant too. "And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell
on all the face of the earth, . . ." (Acts 17.26)
4. "He is the Lord from Heaven; and was the Lord of life
from His birth." As I acknowledge in my post, Judy.
But he was also God. In this one person of Christ God and man came
together and accomplished what man alone could not do: the undoing of the
first Adam. Throughout his life, Christ's response to the fall was
not to sin, not to do what Adam had done, but to do his Father's will.
Hence in his person, Christ reclaimed Adam's posterity (not to mention
Adam himself), defeating what had brought death to them all.
5. "He didn't generate any physical life though and he died
unmarried and childless." This so stupid as to not even
warrant a response.

God's Nature?
I'd have to disagree with every point made by Bill in his post
about the two Adams; He had Cain, Abel, Seth and no
telling how many others since he lived for 967 or so years.
The second Adam, contrary to your claim was not born into the
fall. judyt
