What Jesus Said About Adam and Eve

The Liturgist said:

I’m not sure I get what your point is or the reason for your outrage at Mark.

I'm just saying it's disrespectful to regard God as a mere "designer." "Outrage" seems to be someone else's reaction to the observation. As I pointed out before, it's not something that will send one to hell; it's just selling God short.

The Liturgist said:

Also you seem to be … upset, curiously, about the idea of humans being holy aside from the soul.

Since no one mentioned that here, I'm puzzled why you would think so. I suppose if you thought that God using nature to make our bodies, as opposed to directly giving us a living soul, means bodies can't be holy, then maybe. But no one said that, either.
Edit: there was the issue of an odd belief that assumed the natural is imperfect and the supernatural is not. But I don't think that this is what you're saying here.

The Liturgist said:

but Genesis 1 is important as a prophetic text, for in Holy Week God remade us as he made us in Genesis 1, on Great and Holy Friday, before resting on the Sabbath and rising from the dead on Sunday, the first day, also typologically symbolizing the mystical eighth day of creation, that of the Life of the World to Come.

That's one of the things it is.
1 Corinthians 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

But it's also a clear distinction between God and the gods of other nations, making clear that the God of Abraham is the omnipotent Creator with no other gods at all. He did not have to bring the universe into His control; He created it to do His will.

Roman Catholics had historically celebrated the Dormition, which is also called the Assumption, but some erroneously believe she did not repose but was assumed while still alive,

The Western Church teaches that after her life, Mary was assumed, body and soul into heaven. The Eastern Church seems to put more emphasis on this moment, but other than noting that the Dormition of the Theotokos is often depicted in Orthodox churches, I don't know much about any differences in theology.

None of this is actually an issue for salvation, as God makes it clear what will save us.
