Ah, so now we are down to what certain words mean, and how they are interpreted..I have been told that the Scriptures are not subject to interpretation(a view I do not subscribe to)...

What does the word 'man' mean in this context?

Also please explain about this 8th day when the 2nd Adam was created...I cannot find that either...
