Just what force does it lose? Other NT writers, & Paul in other places, is
able to speak forcefully about Christ as savior without mentioning Adam.
Are these statements not forceful? Why not?

If Paul had taken the whole Gen.3 story into account & spoekn of sin as
coming into the world through a man & a woman, would his argument have been
only half as forceful?
