8. QUESTION 8.

It is said in 1 Corinthians 15:45, 'The first man Adam became a living soul...', and the genealogy in Luke 3, placing Adam first after God, reads, 'who was the son of God'. Is this not contradicted by saying that Adam was a church?

ANSWER

In the genealogy of Luke 3 it is not said that Adam was 'the son of God', but that Adam was 'of God', that is, created by God.
