Edmund Levi Kelley (RLDS) Addressing 1 Corinthians 15:47

  

He thinks he has found a contradiction in what is termed the Inspired Translation of the Scriptures, because in Genesis it says man was created spiritual first, whereas in 1 Cor. 15:47, it says the first man was of the earth, earthy.

 

In Genesis, the Lord is represented as giving an account of the creation of man, His organization; and shows it was first spiritual, then natural. In Corinthians Paul is contrasting the position of Adam with that of Christ.
