Mântuitorul Iisus Hristos - Adam cel de pe urmă (I Corinteni 15, 45)
Our Saviour Jesus Christ — The Last Adam (1 Corinthians 15:45)

Summary/Abstract: In his epistles, St Paul employs a specific set of terms when discussing the Saviour Jesus Christ. Some of them are original, and all of them form the basis of Pauline Christology. One such term, which becomes a name for Christ, is the Last Adam, a term found only in 1 Co 15, 45. In this passage, the Apostle to the Gentiles draws a parallel between Adam, the first man created by God, and the Last Adam, Jesus Christ, emphasising the role of each in human history. The first Adam is createdin the image of the last, and he is earthly, while the Last Adam is heavenly, and Heis „One of the Trinity”. The resemblance between the two Adams is that both were tempted by the devil, but the fundamental difference is the following: Christ resisted temptation, Adam did not, and it was Christ who reopened the gates of Heaven, which Adam had closed through disobedience.
