“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).”

If this were a Catholic interpretation, it would be scorned "NON SCRIPTURAL" man made interpretation by anti-Catholics. I do wonder how you pick and choose these "interpretations", as actual scripture.

Not that I am against these explanations because there is nothing in the Bible that says only biblical word has authority. The bible wasn't even compiled to include The New Testament until about 150AD, there was continued discussion about a few books until about 400AD. It was not officially canonized until the Council of Trent in the 1500’s, when Luther and the first Protestants came to be.

Luther promised to return to the church after reformation. The church did reform, but Luther's followers didn't keep his word.

Regardless, while Adam was made in God's image. Jesus was truly God's only begotten Son. Not the second Adam. Mary was human, and obedient to God, unlike Eve. Therefore, she is the "New Eve". Jesus is God the Son, and is our Savior. Not the New Adam.
