Here you have Adam dying the second death, first, and the first death, second.

It's not that I have it in that order, the scriptures have it in that order.

Did Adam die twice?

"And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” " Gen. 2:16-17

Well, did Adam die "in that day" or not? Did God lie to Him?

"So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died." Gen. 5:5

How can spiritual death come before spiritual birth?

Or do you mean spiritual "rebirth"? How can you have spiritual rebirth without spiritual death?

May I respectfully suggest you re-read John Chapter 3?

Blessings

2 Pet 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Adam almost made it to the second day before he died the first death. First must come before second.
