"Christ is the 2nd Adam", Where is that in the bible?

Christ is God, unlike Adam. Mary is human, like Eve.

It's almost funny how you point fingers and make accusations, and then turn around and make "non biblical" statements as well.

Mary being the "New Eve" is not in the bible, it is simply a description of what Mary represents in our Catholic doctrine. Sorry if you find that blasphemous.

So tell me, if you don't agree with the Catholic church why not simply, not go to Catholic church?

We live in a world of Judaism, Muslims, Buddhist, Hindus, New Age Churches, Athiests, etc., why would you choose to point fingers at the Catholic church who acknowledge Christ as our Savior?

Is that what your Pastor tells you? Is that what your "perfect" interpretation of the bible tells you is right?

I have to ask, because a few years ago my aunt started going to another "Christian" church. It wasn't a problem until, she refused to step foot in her parents house, because they were "idol worshipers". My Grandfather, who was a saint, and dedicated father of 12 children, died heartbroken shortly after. My aunt's, has since changed churches about 6 times, and at this point she is finally more grounded. The whole thing was scary and unhealthy. I still don't know what happened to her.

“As Scripture tells us, Jesus was truly the Second Adam. The first Adam was a special creation of God (not related to any human being), and so was the second Adam (Romans 5:12-19). Jesus was just as fully human as the first Adam. And just like the first Adam, he had no sin nature, no inherited sin, no sinful flesh, which has always been passed from one generation to the next since Adam and Eve’s sin. He was absolutely pure and without sin—from the day he was born, till the day he died. He had to be—he was the Lamb of God, without blemish or spot, sacrificed for sins (John 1:29).”

! Corth15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

1Cor 15:45 The first man was made from the dust of the earth. He came from the earth. The second man came from heaven.

Christ is called the second Adam, because he entered the world pure as did Adam , beloved of God, He began where the first Adam began, without sin
He was tempted by Satan in the same manner as adam (sins of the eyes,sin of the flesh and pride of life)

Romans 5:12-21 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned - 13 for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. 15 But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. 16 The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification. 17 For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. 18 So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men. 19 For as through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous.
