Last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

Was Jesus' humanity different from ours? I think you confuse two things - substance and action. Humanity is substance, not action. For example, you can take wood, cut it, polish it, glue it, and produce a table. Cutting, polishing and gluing are actions applied to wood, but they are not wood.

Jesus Christ's humanity is a perfect humanity. Our humanity is a corrupted humanity. This is the very reason the humanity of Jesus Christ needs to be added to the Spirit of God (John 7:39) and upon the glorification of the Lord Jesus He would be able to enter into us (John 20:22) and receive Him as a life-giving Spirit (1Corinthians 15:45). In this way, our corrupted humanity will be replaced with the UPLIFTED HUMANITY. This "uplifted humanity" is the "all-inclusive Spirit" or the "life-giving Spirit" or the "Spirit of Jesus Christ" that has mingled in our spirit. The Word says --

1Corinthians 6
17But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit.

By this...

Quote:

2 Corinthians 5
17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

Hallelujah! Amen!

It is unbelievable how Lee's teaching can make the most simple passages in the bible the most complicated! (which enables only his works and publications to decode them...)

To understand this verse alone one must read it in the context of verses 44-49:

The contrast here between the natural body and the spiritual body follows from their two representatives in (vs. 21-22). One is the first Adam who had a naturally body (of dust-Gen 2:7) and through whom a natural body is given to his descendants. The other is the last Adam, Christ, the life-giving spirit (John 5:26) Who through his death and ressurection will at the second coming give his redeemed people a spiritual body similar to Christ's ressurected, glorified body!(LK 24:36-43, php. 3:21, 1 John 3:2)

This passage gets me excited!

This is our hope and future! There is not much to debate here...
