I was having lunch with a spirit-filled co-worker and we were talking religion. He mentioned that Jesus was the New Adam. I said, "If you say Jesus was the New Adam would you accept that Mary was the New Eve?"
"I don't know what Mary has to do with it," he replies.
"Mary's obedience as the New Eve was instrumental in healing the wound that Eve caused by her disobedience," I said.
"Hmmm."
"Saying Mary is the New Eve doesn't take one bit of glory from God, in fact, it's shows how much of His glory he would share with us by allowing one of us to play such an important role in our redemption. How about that?"
"Hmmm."
baby steps - seems like someone is opening up.
