An interesting theory I heard, as sin entering the world is attributed to Adam
the first Adam; and Jesus took away all sin the last Adam. Then in theory if
only Eve had sinned and not Adam, then maybe sin would not have entered the
world?

Romans 5:12 NKJV
[12] Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through
sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned-


1 Corinthians 15:22 NKJV
[22] For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.


Its interesting that Adam is not given the title of father of all living, but maybe
that position is taken by God? Or maybe it's because sin was attributed to Adam?

Just a few thoughts I'm tossing around. Please don't try to hurt me. Lol
Right from the beginning the term or attributes Father and Son of God is reserved for that not seen, the faith principle.

While according to that which was seen the temporal the words ...Son of man is used. The Son of man refused worship in respect to His outward appearance. When called good master he would attribute to our Master in heaven (our father) saying only God is good. In that way we are to call no man on earth master for one is in heaven.

The word father makes an interesting study.

Remembering that which God calls separate in the physical world , the father of lies calls it together as if they were one.(already) And what God calls together as one, Satan separates in ordered to destroy the faith principle that comes from the same spirit of faith, according as it is written.

I think the term father was reserved for that not seen (God) right from the beginning of creation as the “faith principle”. Eve subdued by the voice of one seen , the serpent whom the father of lies spoke through. Walking by sight they experienced eternal separation .

Christ declared in Mathew....

Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven

As new creatures, we are not considered after the flesh as that seen. The whole of Christianity are reckoned as both a male and female in one spiritual body.(not seen) as His bride or wife.

They made up of many lively stones that make up the spiritual house of God the church. They are considered the bride of Christ. His bride is reckoned under the spiritual seed (Christ’s) called Abraham’s seed.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither “male nor female”: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Gal 3:28

Abraham ,meaning the father of many nations was used as a type (father) again to typify that not seen. The bosom of Abraham is used to represent the invisible presence of God.

The Jews that did not have the Spirit of Christ, as Abraham's seed sought after the flesh. They had their faith in respect to that seen and did not walk by faith, the unseen. That oral tradition of men was called the “law of the fathers”, Christ’s nemesis..

Christ referred to them fathers as a generation of vipers helping us to remember the reason of the fall when Satan the father of lies who has no form took on the form of a creature. .a serpent, in Mathew that lying spirit is called a viper.

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. Mat 3:7

Again reserving that glory for the unseen father .

Matthew 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

The bride of Christ is limited to those three.(call no man on earth father) The same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

The bride is also reckoned as the mother of us all .She the church, being made of male and female is in anticipation of our new bodies.

Genesis 3:20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
Not only was she the mother of us all by natural descent, but that Genesis 3:15 made her the mother (as it were) of all the believers in her Offspring/Seed, who is Christ.

Yes, as one of the many lively stones that make up the spiritual house of God the church or called bride or wife of Christ.. as new creatures of our bloody husband.

She makes up the segregate mother of us all. The freewoman (all believers.)

Just as Paul was used in that way holding out the seed of Christ ,the gospel of our salvation ,as his gospel forms Christ in us.. Remembering as new creatures we are reckoned of neither male nor female. ( The old corrupted creation.)

Galatians 4:19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,

It’s the kind of work that works in jealous moms who want to offer their children as chaste virgins.(typified by the metaphor 144,000) Those who do not fornicate with the gods of this world. She would be the kind of virgin that has oil in their lamps.

2Co 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
