The First Adam, The Last Adam (and all the rest of us)

Jesus Christ - Incarnation

Now this next segment gets complicated and a bit long. I'll do my best to make it as understandable as possible; because there is a lot of information here. 

(And admittedly will likely undergo more editing.) 

After working on this for some time now; (considering I have also found more information) I have decided to break this section up into two parts. The first will deal with the incarnation and the second will deal with the atonement.

Incarnation:

Here we move on to what the incarnation actually was and the difference between Adam and Jesus. Now we know Jesus had a Divine nature and Adam did not. Jesus obtained that Divine nature because of being conceived by the Holy Spirit.

Christ's body was formed essentially by "rearranging" Mary's DNA. And because this was an act of the Holy Spirit, there was no other possible outcome other than the child conceived was to have a Divine nature. Now because it was the Holy Spirit who performed this task, the Divine nature was inseparably merged to the human nature, creating a human being who had both a Divine nature and a human nature. This is how Jesus was both fully God and fully man. (The Spirit is "fully God" and Mary was "fully human".)

The incarnation was the merging of these two (Divine and human) natures. Because Jesus was born of the progeny of Adam, what he'd inherited from his mother was a human nature in the same similitude as Adam, except without sin.

Sin nature:

Now one important thing to note is that the sin nature is passed from father to child, not mother to child. So theoretically speaking, if you could conceive a chid without a father, (even if the mother is a sinner) that child would be sinless. Now that obviously is impossible to do; even if it wasn't though (oogenesis) that child still would not have a Divine nature.

That child would simply be a 'second Adam' (or actually a second Eve - because in the natural world all organisms who come about as a result of oogenesis are female. This can happen with species like frogs and salamanders where non fertilized eggs mature into sterile female organisms.) So, this girl would still fall into the trap the first Adam had, because we live in a world corrupted by evil.

Now the difference between our current world and the world Adam and Eve existed in prior to the fall; is that evil existed in their world, they just had no knowledge of it. Once they disobeyed and gave knowledge to it; they also gave it the reign to corrupt the creation. The most obvious result of which was death. (All the sudden some of the animals started eating each other instead of the plants.)

What are we made up of?

When a human being is conceived, the totality of their beginning is their conception. We inherit "soul", "body" and "spirit" from our parents and because Adam's personhood was created as "being in the image of God"; we inherit "being created in the image of God" from our parents. Thus why human souls are fundamentally different than the "soul" of any other created individual organism. The only thing we receive from God at conception is the breath of life, which is what makes us "living souls". (Genesis 2:7)

Now how do we know "body", "soul" and "spirit" are inherited from our human parents and some (portion there of) not from God? This is hard to tell from just looking at Adam; but becomes quite clear when we start looking at Jesus and what happened during the atonement.

What is a human nature?

Soul:

So a "soul" is also what's referred to as a "heart" in the Scripture. The heart is what houses emotions, which impact mind and will. Now the mind can also be trained to reign in the emotions, which also affects the will. This is how human beings are accountable for their actions. We aren't just creatures ruled by impact of emotional fluctuations. Our thoughts are capable of impacting our emotions.
