Of course “not just a man”. A perfect man as he had to be in order to serve as a ransom sacrifice, “what is given in exchange for another as the price of his redemption, ransom” is the way Thayer’s Greek-English Lexicon describes antilutron or corresponding ransom. (1 Tim. 2:6)
Corresponding to what? What Adam lost for mankind, perfect life. Hence Christ is also called “the last Adam” (1 Cor. 15:45) The first Adam was not part God, part human or God in human form nor was the last Adam, Christ.
So No, not just a man.

The first Adam was not part God, part human or God in human form nor was the last Adam, Christ.We do not teach that the Christ was part God and part Man.
