Pardon me if I'm being dense here, but why? Why would Jesus be a reincarnation of Adam? Just because of the line about life-giving? In that case, every woman who gives birth is a reincarnation of Adam/Jesus/&Co. ... *confused* :o I guess I don't see any reason for believing the two (or more) to be identified with each other. To see them as corresponding figures ... Adam as the heralder of physical life, Jesus as the heralder of spiritual life, sure. But the same person? Again, why? Maybe I'm just clueless. :o

No way are you clueless.. before this thread, i had no idea that there was such a train of thought. My head fell off right at the start and i've pretty much bowed out of this one. It just leads me to think that jesus had alien DNA, which is pretty much what i've thought for years. It just doesn't feel right somewhow. :shock:

I looked at the link that Space_Man posted there, and I thought this was interesting:

Quote:
The Secret Teachings of Jesus

An important Christian Gnostic teaching was the "Logos" which in Greek is translated as "the image of the Word." It is an important concept found in the gospel of John:

"In the beginning was the Word (Logos), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1:1)

Logos is the part of God that acts in the world. It is the perfect unity of the human and the divine. This is affirmed by John when he wrote that "the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us." When John stated that Jesus is the Logos, he is stating that Jesus became the Logos, the Christ. The Logos is the divine "spark" of God within humans that needs to awakened. Everyone has the "image of the Word (Logos)" within them and it is for this reason that Genesis describes humanity as created "in the image and likeness of God." The Logos is the divine Spirit in humanity. By using the Christian Gnostic idea of the Logos, John is not only affirming the preexistence and divinity of Jesus, but he is affirming that all sons of God created in the "image of the Word" as Jesus was, preexisted in spirit before being born. In other words, every human is an incarnation of the Logos and every human has to potential of becoming like Jesus, a manifestation of the human-divine unity. Every human can be a "Christ" and because of this, every soul will eventually be drawn back to God.
