Q1: “Adam is the first Christ, even as Christ is the final Adam.†Adam/Eve were unique in all of God’s craieotn, made in the image and likeness of God and therefore sacred, ie. “set-apart†from all other aspects of craieotn. They were Holy! Do you agree? Do you feel love toward Adam & Eve? Interesting question Brandon.I have a mix of feelings and not sure I really have a solid answer. I've never thought much about Adam & Eve's uniqueness, being the first created humans. I've always had thoughts about their failure in the garden & consider myself to do the same thing, in some ways being no different than them. But then again, I'd never really thought about them being made in the image & likeness of God, as are we.It's not like I'm sitting back here say, wow, what a bad decision. They believed a lie. Maybe they didn't listen well enough to what God told them but regardless they were decieved by the serpent. My thoughts were more like, if it hadn't been Adam & Eve, it would have been someone else.I do envy the fellowship they had with God. The garden must have been more beautiful before the fall. And honestly, I relate to feeling that our toil on earth is related to the fall. But, I don't really have a sense of what it would have been like on earth, if the fall had not occured.Were Adam & Eve more sacred than you & I are? I'm no sure about that one. I sense we need to connect with our sacredness if we are really to see the value that God places on life & us individually. I'm still contemplating this one. Were they sacred? Sacred has a negative connotation. Holy is such a high up concept that I have difficulty grasping that they or we are holy. Yet God's word declares it! Therefore I must believe it. my mind has difficulty grasping this one.
