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. (Edmund

Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and The Church of Christ [Disciples], Held in
