Although Greg. Naz.,
ibid., however, he
says, The first Adam is of the earth earthy; the second Adam is Lord
from Heaven 1 Cor. xv. 47., he does not say
that His body is from heaven, but emphasises the fact that He is not
mere man. For, mark, he called Him both Adam and Lord, thus
indicating His double nature. For Adam is, being interpreted,
earth-born: and it is clear that man’s nature is earth-born
since he is formed from earth, but the title Lord signifies His divine
essence.
