<p>15:21- see on Rev. 20:5.</p><p><i>For since by a man came death, by a man came also the resurrection of the dead</i>- Paul now makes a series of extended allusions to the events of early Genesis. This, along with references to &quot;first-fruits&quot;, suggest there were some in his audience who were aware of the Jewish scriptures. He has alluded to them throughout his arguments to the Corinthians. I have mentioned often how Gentile, illiterate, immoral Corinthians were attracted to Judaism because it offered an apparent way of justification by a few specific works, freeing them up to be immoral in other matters. This was why Judaism was attractive to such an immature Gentile Christian audience. We must emphasize how death and resurrection both came by &quot;a man&quot;- Adam and the Lord Jesus. Clearly enough, the Lord was a man; we see here clearly taught the necessity of the Lord's humanity and representative sacrifice. Trinitarianism makes a fair mess of this clear teaching.</p>
