The Apostle Paul compared and contrasted Adam to Jesus, so Paul presents similarities and differences of Adam and Jesus.
THE APOSTLE PAUL PORTRAYS ADAM AS A "TYPE" OF JESUS
Paul wrote "death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come" (Romans 5:14).
So, according to Paul, Adam is "a type of Him" with Him being Jesus.
Paul explained "type" with "one man" referring to Adam "just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned" (Romans 5:12).
So, according to Paul, "sin entered into the world and death through sin" through Adam.
And, that death through sin is not Adam loving God.
And, that death through sin is not what Jesus does.
Paul explained "type" with "One" referring to Jesus bringing life through His sacrifice for persons "who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ" (Romans 5:17).
See, Adam and death.
See, Jesus and life.
Paul compared "type" both Adam and Jesus as contributors of something to the world.
Paul contrasted "type" that Adam brought death yet Jesus brings life.
Paul compared and contrasted Adam and Jesus using "type" with "through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life" (Romans 5:18).
Paul's writing does not convey that Adam loved God.
PAUL PORTRAYS JESUS AS "THE LAST ADAM".
Paul wrote "thus it is written, 'The first man Adam became a living soul'; the last Adam into a life-giving spirit" (1 Corinthians 15:45).
Paul does another compare and contrast.
Behold the next verse "the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual" (1 Corinthians 15:46).
So according to Paul the first man is the natural man, earthy and flesh (1 Corinthians 15:39).
And Paul wrote "a natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised" (1 Corinthians 2:14).
See, Adam and flesh (natural man).
See, Jesus and spiritual.
Paul ascribing Jesus as "the last Adam" does not make out Jesus to be the Adam of the creation account in Genesis 1-3 nor does it make the Adam of the creation account in Genesis 1-3 to be Jesus.
Rather Paul is making a contradistinction between Adam and Jesus.
Paul conveys that because of the first man Adam all people are flesh as the default state for all mankind, yet the last Adam, Jesus, breaks the bonds of the flesh of man for Jesus is heavenly and spiritual.
As the last Adam sets persons of His choosing free from bondage, then these are no longer in the first man Adam, and here is the crux of that which Paul conveyed in the passage of 1 Corinthians 15:42-49.
THE FLESH MAN PRECEDES THE SPIRITUAL MAN
Every person starts out life as a slave to sin (Romans 6:20), so as a slave to sin a person has no means to change from being a slave to sin on their own (1 Corinthians 2:14).
A slave of sin is purchased solely by the Christ to be converted solely by Christ into a slave of Righteousness (Romans 6:18), and Christ is the Righteous Branch (Jeremiah 23 5).
Free will does not exist according to this Truth, that is Christ (John 14:6).
People do have a will; however, a person's will is subject to being a slave of sin, or a person's will is subject to being a slave of righteousness; moreover, a slave is not free, so a slave's will is bound to the slave's master; therefore, a slave has a bond-will.
Here is the above stated another way.
The first state of affairs for all man is to be a natural man for it is written of Adam "just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned" (Romans 5:12), and "a natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised" (1 Corinthians 2:14).
Just as the original post shows richly in scripture, Adam was not imparted free will, and no man thereafter was imparted free will neither.
