Re: "Become" or "Not Become" Interpreting 1Cor 15:45

Jewish people, and specifically Jewish teachers, were not in the habit of mentioning ANY person, place or thing along side of God. It was considered anathema to put anything, especially a human, on equal footing as the almighty God. Yet this is clearly what Paul was doing here in this last word to the Corinthians. To Paul grace could only come from God - Ultimately man was to have fellowship only with God. Paul knew this, and so did the believers in Corinth.
Sorry, this is all the elaboration you're gonna get from me for now.
