How is the creation story of Adam and Eve linked to Jesus?

Answer 1

AnswerFirst, a Gnostic Christian view held that Adam was an earlier incarnation of Jesus. Also, John's Gospel says that Jesus was wth God in the beginning, interpreted by some to mean that Jesus was involved in the creation.

Answer 2

Not all Christians believe the biblical story of Adam and Eve to be literally true. On the other hand, many Christians do believe this, even though the denomination of which they are a member may have formally agreed that the world is immensely older than once believed and that there is no conflict between evolution and faith.

Many Christians simply believe in the literal truth of the creation story of Adam and Eve because they absorbed it as a child, so often that as adults they find it hard to accept that it is only a myth. Others insist that The Bible is infallible and must be read literally throughout. They conflate the two creation stories in Genesis as if there were no essential conflict between them, and believe that in doing so they are reading the Bible literally.

Answer 3

In Christian theology, Adam and Eve's disobedience in the Garden of Eden resulted in the concept of original sin, which resulted in humanity’s separation from God. Jesus is believed to have come to Earth to reconcile humanity with God and to offer salvation from sin, acting as a perfect sacrifice to atone for the sins of mankind. Thus, Jesus is seen as the new Adam, bringing about redemption and restoration from the consequences of the fall.
