Who came First? Adam or Christ? - Misunderstood context 1 Corinthians 15:47-49

One of the misleading questions that once opened up in an organization that doesn't believe Christ divinity was a question of Christ existence. Christ as a created being with a beginning of days and has and end. Basically, as their teaching goes, that his human natures had said that Christ was merely human and could never be divine.

So lets try to check out the context for more of it and see what we could get. So here's the question they opened up quoting a scripture -

Who Came in first, Adam or Christ?

So, they quoted 1 Corinthians 15:47-49 which says this -

47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.

48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

But what was the context was all about? Does this suggest that Christ was only human in nature or something about the reason why he came to earth for the atonement?

You see, reading the whole context will help you identify the very reason why Christ came to earth and the purpose was all about of having a body to accomplished his work. By reading on some prior verse to it, you will understand how Paul's letter to the people of Corinth help them understand that about Christ divinity and how he came up to be a human to understand the suffering of the humanity, and this nature simply calls Hypostatic Union.

It is necessary for Christ to be born in this world so that men who were subjected to the fall of Adam which is Sin and Death, will be redeemed and became subject to him to have an everlasting life as the scripture stated. Take note that this People from Corinth doesn't understand the Doctrine of  Resurrections some doesn't believe the resurrection of Christ happens, so Paul in his letter tries to help them understood the Fall of Adam as the First Man and why Christ Must come to Atone human from the Fall. Let's read the verses clearly to understand it (1 Corinthians 15:12-23) -

12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.

(I highlighted some words for easy reference). So, what was this all about? Paul's statement made it clear that it is necessary for Christ to be born in the meridian of time, and at the end, he will bore the sins and death and that all may resurrect in the coming days like him and be subjected to him at the last days to be judge of their works. Remember that the Apostles were the special witnesses of Christ Resurrection and divinity, it won't make any sense in declaring his words without further announcing his divine nature before and after his ascension.

24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

If we don't try to understand the context of the scriptures, this might leads us to misinterpret the Plan of the Father and that is to gave his son to redeem us from sins and death.

Aside from this, if we are just to limit Christ divinity as just a created being, we could have just limit our understanding of the scriptures about his existences. Like for example in this give scriptures -

• How was Christ the Alpha and the Omega? - Revelation 1:8
• How did Christ claim to have a glory from the father BEFORE the world was Created? - John 17:5
• How did Christ saw the Father did while no man had ever seen the Father at ANY TIME? - John 5:19
• How did Christ able to organized a church with KEY of the Kingdom that not even the Prophets of all did? - Matthew 16:19
• How did Christ able to sit beside the Father's Throne thinking that Christ is just dead as human? - Revelation 3:21
• How did Christ was the first born of all creature, while scripturally he was just sent in the meridian of time or the time of his ministry? - Colossians 1:15

This questions and many more just doesn't make any sense if were are just to think of Christ that has a beginning and will just simply ends in death. Which basically we questions his divinity and his ability to bring forth his life back and that he has that same ability to perform the same resurrection to everyone in this world. Why would God as the Father of all souls just love Christ who just simply entered in this world just like us and why not all of us treated the same as he is? Does it make sense to you?
