Instructions for All Sections

Answer in Complete Sentences: Wherever possible, support your answer with Scripture references.

Pay Attention to the Text: Many questions are “traps” that test whether you read carefully and understand the theological implications.

Use Cross-References: Some questions require you to connect Genesis events to New Testament teachings, especially Pauline theology.

Think Theologically: Don’t just recall facts; explain meanings, typology, and implications of Adam and Christ’s roles.

No Guessing: Some questions have subtle distinctions (e.g., federal headship, sin vs. righteousness) that make guessing unreliable.

Time Yourself (Optional): For added challenge, try completing the quiz in 45–60 minutes.

⚡ ADAM VS CHRIST – MEGA-TRAP SUBJECTIVE QUIZ

 

Instructions for Scholars

Answer in complete sentences, citing Bible references.

Watch out for textual and theological traps—some questions are tricky!

Some answers require cross-book connections (Genesis ↔ Romans ↔ 1 Corinthians ↔ Hebrews).

This is designed for deep study, not casual guessing.

 

1. Explain the concept of Adam as the “first man” and Christ as the “last Adam.” How does this typology explain human sin and redemption?

Answer:

Adam is the representative head of humanity whose disobedience caused sin and death to all. Christ, the “last Adam,” obeys God perfectly, providing life and justification to all who are in Him. This typology shows that one man’s actions can affect the whole human race.

References:

📖 1 Corinthians 15:45 – “The first man Adam became a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.”

📖 Romans 5:12–19 – Adam’s trespass vs Christ’s gift of righteousness.

 

2. What is the “one trespass vs one act of righteousness” contrast in Romans 5, and why is it often misunderstood?

Answer:

Adam’s single act of disobedience brought condemnation and death to all, whereas Christ’s one act of obedience brings justification and life. Misunderstanding occurs when one assumes all sin is personal rather than federal headship.

Reference:

📖 Romans 5:18–19

 

3. How does Adam introduce physical and spiritual death, and how does Christ counter each?

Answer:

Adam brings physical death (return to dust) and spiritual death (separation from God) through sin. Christ brings eternal life physically (resurrection) and spiritually (reconciliation with God).

References:

📖 Genesis 3:19 – “For dust thou art…”

📖 Romans 5:15–17

📖 1 Corinthians 15:21–22

 

4. In what way does Romans 8:3–4 connect the law, sin, and the Adam/Christ contrast?

Answer:

The law exposed sin that began with Adam. God sent Christ in the likeness of sinful flesh to fulfill the law, enabling believers to live righteously and free from the condemnation tied to Adam’s sin.

Reference:

📖 Romans 8:3–4

 

5. Compare Adam’s act of eating the forbidden fruit with Christ’s act of obedience to the cross. Include psychological, covenantal, and cosmic dimensions.

Answer:

Adam disobeyed voluntarily, bringing sin, guilt, and estrangement from God, affecting all creation. Christ obeyed voluntarily, enduring suffering, securing forgiveness, and restoring creation. The contrast highlights human failure vs divine obedience, curse vs blessing, and death vs life.

References:

📖 Genesis 3:6

📖 Philippians 2:8

📖 Romans 5:19

 

6. What is the significance of Adam being formed from dust and Christ being born of a woman?

Answer:

Adam’s dust formation emphasizes earthly origin and mortality; Christ’s birth from a woman emphasizes humanity and solidarity, yet divine purpose ensures sinless obedience.

References:

📖 Genesis 2:7

📖 Galatians 4:4–5

 

7. How does Paul’s teaching about Adam support the doctrine of original sin? Include textual evidence.

Answer:

Paul teaches that sin entered the world through Adam and death spread to all because all sinned in him, establishing humanity’s need for redemption.

References:

📖 Romans 5:12

📖 1 Corinthians 15:22

 

8. Why is Christ sometimes called the “second man” in 1 Corinthians 15, and how is this different from merely being another human?

Answer:

Christ is the “second man” because He inaugurates a new humanity, restoring life and righteousness. He is not just another human but the representative of redeemed humanity, defeating death and sin on behalf of all who believe.

Reference:

📖 1 Corinthians 15:45–49

 

9. How does the Fall of Adam affect the whole creation, and how does Christ’s resurrection counteract this?

Answer:

The Fall cursed the ground, bringing decay and futility to creation (Genesis 3:17–19; Romans 8:20–22). Christ’s resurrection restores hope, promising liberation from corruption for believers and creation.

References:

📖 Romans 8:20–21

📖 Genesis 3:17–19

 

10. Identify at least three ways Eve’s role in the Fall typologically connects to humanity’s need for Christ.

Answer:

Her deception shows humanity’s susceptibility to sin and Satan.

She represents desire misaligned with God, highlighting the need for divine correction.

She illustrates the failure of human wisdom, showing why Christ’s obedience and wisdom are necessary for salvation.

References:

📖 Genesis 3:6

📖 1 John 2:16–17

📖 Romans 5:15

 

11. Explain how Adam and Christ illustrate the federal headship principle and why misinterpreting it undermines the Gospel.

Answer:

Adam’s headship shows that all humanity participates in his sin, while Christ’s headship shows that believers participate in His righteousness. Misinterpreting this could reduce salvation to mere moral effort, ignoring union with Christ.

References:

📖 Romans 5:12–21

📖 1 Corinthians 15:21–22
