Eve came out of Adam via a rib. For the equivalent analogy to hold, then Mary must also have originated out of Christ via his own rib. (not Christ out of Mary).Therefore Mary cannot be the “second Eve”. Now spiritually, Christians are born again via the outworking of the Holy Spirit. We are born out of the substance of Christ....since he is the new Adam, then we as the whole body of believers are the New Eve...or more simply the Bride of Christ! If Christ is the new Adam then his Bride is the new Eve!
Hallelujah...praise God from whom all blessings flow!
Excellent!

False. Types are not always directly linear.
“(not Christ out of Mary).Therefore Mary cannot be the “second Eve”.”
Again, false. Mary is the reverse of Eve. That’s why she is said to untied the knot of disobedience tied by Eve. Mary said yes (her “Fiat” as the saying goes), while Eve said no and disobeyed God. The types are not directly linear.
That explanation makes TONS more sense. Thank you. I would add, since Mary is also part of the Bride of Christ, then ONLY in that sense is she "a" new Eve, just not THE new Eve.
