No, he is really talking about Adam from Genesis. He is not claiming that it must be what biologically happen. But maybe he believed that. He did not say that, though.
So you are saying Paul through the Spirit of God is lying and thereby the Word, the Bible. Where does the lies stop? And why are you here if you don't believe? Or is it you pick and choose according to your own reasoning?
First man is first man.
No, I am saying that Paul used Genesis to prove his point/teaching which was about marriage.
First man according to Jewish culture/writings. Both Adam and Eve are Hebrew names. And Cain found some woman elsewhere in a foreign country. The location of Eden was described relative to location of other already existing countries.
So the fall of man and the garden of Eden is not true so we do not need Christ? The first prophesy concerning the Messiah in Gen 3 isn't true either? The rest of the prophecies in the Pentateuch concerning Christ are not true they are metaphors? Abraham is not the Father of Faith and never took Isaac up to sacrifice him? Enoch wasn't translated Paul LIED ABOUT that and the world being being framed by the word of God also? Noah never existed, So the story of the flood and Cain which Jesus spoke of never happened, so JESUS LIED TOO? The exodus miricles never happened? It is all a Metaphore. Or is it we get to pick and choose what is we think is true and it doesn't matter whether we are right or wrong because it is not about faith and truth it is about feelings and conjecture?
No he said, the first man Adam in respect to him being a living soul: in contrast to Christ, the last Adam being a quickening Spirit. And He said this through God's Spirit which makes God a liar too according to your basing everything as a metaphor.
I am afraid that your concept of "true" is built around "literal". Something can be true and be metaphorical, representation of some ideal or of us all etc.
I am afraid your concept of the Bible being metaphoric poses many issues. Because what is metaphoric to one may not be to another. This leaves the Bible's interpretation subject to one's own reasoning and truth rather the Spirit's.
Thats not how it works, its not black and white.
I think that's an important concept in the scriptures.
But surely you agree that the Bible contains metaphors?
That ain’t what they are saying And You ain’t helping. You are feeding their lie that the Genesis creation account is false and Adam and Eve were not the first man and woman.But surely you agree that the Bible contains metaphors?
Just as an example,

Who are They?
Well, there's a big difference between metaphorical and false. I do believe Adam and Eve were literal individuals who sinned.

Then it's good that those beings disagree with some things that I say. But of course, we agree on some things: for example, that there is one God.
Adam and Eve saw the beginning of the first 7th day from their horizon?
Okay... Most people use the international date line, but that's cool. Like the people who live in Australia celebrate a Sabbath / 7th Day that starts a good 14 hours before the one celebrated in the USA.
