Roman 5:14
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.
1 Timothy 2:14
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.
1 Corinthians 15:45
And so it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being." (Genesis 2:7) The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
So let us pray:
Dear Lord Heavenly Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, please touch the hearts of all those that read this!
The first Adam is mankind and is the sinner
The last Adam is the Spirit of God, in the flesh (Son of Man) who never sinned
The first Adam is the wife
The last Adam is the husband
The first Adam had transgressions (sins)
The last Adam was free from any transgressions
The first Adam is the woman
The last Adam is the Son of Man
transgression
1. \Trans*gres"sion\, n. [L. transgressio a going across, going over, transgression of the law, from transgredi, transgressus, to step across, go over; trans over, across + gradi to step, walk: cf. F. transgression. See ] The act of transgressing, or of passing over or beyond any law, civil or moral; the violation of a law or known principle of rectitude; breach of command; fault; offense; crime; sin.
1 Corinthians 15
45And so it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 46However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual. 47The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven. 48As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly. 49And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.
Job 31:33
If I have covered my transgressions as Adam, By hiding my iniquity in my bosom,
Hosea 6:7
"But like men[6:7 Or [like Adam] ] they transgressed the covenant; There they dealt treacherously with Me.
Romans 5:14
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.
In these previous verses we know that the first Adam had transgressions and therefore was a sinner.
In this next verse we learn that the Adam being referred to now, is not the first Adam or a man but the Last Adam ( the Son of Man), because Jesus was not deceived and therefore did not fall into transgression. As much as Satan tried, he could not deceive Jesus.
1Timothy 2:14
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.
Because all of mankind fell into transgression and sinned, this verse then would declare all mankind as the woman
And so for this verse we could put the word mankind in for woman and it would make more sense. We could do the same for the next verses.
1 Timothy 2:11-13
11Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. 12And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. 13For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
Matthew 23:10
And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ
Let mankind learn in silence with all submission. And I do not permit mankind to teach or have authority over the Son of Man, but to be in silence. For Jesus was formed first, then mankind.
And this even makes more sense when we add that we are all to be in submission to each other, even men to women (Ephesians 5 21submitting to one another in the fear of God)
All mankind (women) are not to have authority over Jesus. Jesus was only to be in submission to the Spirit ( everlasting Father) within Him.
Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
So why didn’t Paul just state that Christ Jesus is the man and mankind is the woman . That is a good question, but we must remember that at that time, so many had been blessed with the Holy Spirit and were talking for God and not talking for themselves any longer. It was God (the Spirit of Christ, the Son of God, the Husband) speaking and teaching.
For Adam was formed first then Eve
Our Lord Jesus (the Son of Man) was formed first before God made Adam and Eve
The Son of God was begotten, but Christ Jesus was not begotten when Jesus was born of a virgin, but before that.
Isaiah 43:10
10"You are My witnesses," says the LORD,
"And My servant whom I have chosen,
That you may know and believe Me,
And understand that I am He.
Before Me there was no God formed,
Nor shall there be after Me.
This next verse is where Jesus states that He existed before the virgin birth.
John 8
57Then the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?"
58Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM."
John 1
The Eternal Word
Testimony of John the Baptist
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
Revelation 3
14 "And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write,
"These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God”
Yes, Jesus (the Son of Man) was the beginning of creation and He never sinned
1 John 2:14
I have written to you, fathers, Because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, Because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, And you have overcome the wicked one.
Hebrews 9
The Heavenly Sanctuary
11 But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come,with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation.
Jesus was not part of creation, even though He was born of a virgin, creation was a part of Him
12Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. 13For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, 14how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God
Jesus was the perfect sacrifice (lamb) because He was without sin. God required a sacrifice for our sins, but our sacrifices had never been good enough. It needed to come from man, a perfect Man without sin
cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions
Since all men have sinned, there was no one who could mediate for us, not even the first Adam who had transgressions.
under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
And even though God had required a sacrifice, that is not what He wanted. All He had ever wanted is our Love and obedience and we wouldn’t give it to Him.
Jesus was not from mankind, mankind was from Jesus
Mankind was created for the Spirit of Christ to live in, just as the Son of God lived in the Son of Man. We were created to be in His image and to share in His inheritance (the Spirit of God).
1 Corinthians 3:16
Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
1 Corinthians 11
8For man is not from woman, but woman from man. 9Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.

I wish that all "men" would read this. Perhaps it would give them more revelation on being the "Bride" of Christ... created FOR Him... about being the "woman." This revelation does not take away from the fact that Eve was created from Adam's own bone. It doesn't take away our role as women. But it certainly gives great revelation about the role of mankind. Well written!
Thank you Joyce for your words of encouragement. And I do agree with you on roles for men and women. God created men and women with very specific differences and He had a plan in mind for us when He did this. If we would all just follow God's plan, what a world this could be!
