To me those verses explain that Adam was man, made in the likeness of God, and describes Jesus as God, that was sent as a man(Adam). Not a second Adam, which would make Jesus simply a man. We are born from Adam, but called to be like Jesus.

1 Corinthians 15:45If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven. As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the man from heaven, so also are those who are of heaven. And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven.

Regardless, I wouldn't dare call you a heretic, or a pagan worshiper for your differing perspective. Only God can determine those things.

The last Adam, a life-giving spirit.

That is Christ
