Well, let me see:

Adam & Eve -- fathered all of mankind.

Adam & Eve -- by their disobedience to what Jehovah God required of them; they sinned.

Since all mankind was born after that sin; being in their loins as future offspring; when they sinned, they sold all of their future offspring into slavery; slavery of sin, and its resulting sickness and ultimately death. We cannot pay the price to get out of that slavery.

Jehovah God in his great Love; Justice; and wisdom; announced that He would undo what Adam caused. He would send his only begotten heavenly son to earth - - to pay the price for our being repurchased back into God's family.

Jesus did everything necessary to pay that price.

Soon, with his Kingdom power, Jesus will have his kings and priests help him, to repair mankind, and bring any who desire to be obedient to God, will bring them back to the perfect state of Adam & Eve before they sinned. Jesus will give 'the meek' their true inheritance; "the meek will inherit THE EARTH"; which will have "an abundance of peace", not yet seen on earth.

That's how the 2 stories are linked.

A:The first storytellers knew they were not really telling a genuine account of the first man. It was a moral tale based on even earlier Near Eastern creation stories, so in that respect it was an allegory. Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says we can learn most from the story by regarding it as a mythical yet realistic portrait of permanent truths about our humanity, rather than as a historical yet idealised portrait of a blissful existence we once enjoyed but lost.

A:

Whether we regard the story of Adam and Eve as a metaphor or an allegory, it is undoubtedly not historical. Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) regards the story as intended to teach moral truths.

Jewish answer:

The narrative of Adam and Chava (Eve) took place exactly as described in the Torah (Genesis ch.2-3). It certainly also contains lessons, similes and metaphors, but the events happened as recorded.

A metaphor gives a quality to something to which the quality literally isn't applicable. So yes, Adam's and Eve's story is metaphoric to the story of Jesus and Mary. For example, Jesus was tempted to sin. But unlike Adam, he didn't yield. Mary had the opportunity to sin by refusing to listen to God's angel. But she agreed to listen and obey. Mary gambled for the high stakes, and won. Eve gambled for the low stakes, and lost.
