    <description>If a tune-up can’t fix a car engine because what it really needs is for the entire engine to be rebuilt, then why would we, in the Christian faith, perform tune-ups on the form and function of our churches when what they may really need is to be completely overhauled? Join the host of Pleading The Case, Andy Mendonsa, where in each episode, he will peal back the culture and traditions that have come to define much of the Church in America today in order to accurately assess whether all that is needed is just a good tune-up, or as he has become convinced, a compete overhaul.

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Years ago I found myself asking the question if Jesus is the last Adam, then would that mean that the church, Christ's bride, is in effect the last Eve?  If not literally, at least symbolically? How to prove this, though, became more than a challenge for knowing where to even begin such a search.  After much thought and deliberation I finally realised that the place that I needed to start was at the beginning with the creation of the first Eve through the first Adam. That if we, as the church, Christ's bride, are seen by God as the last Eve, if you will, then there should be correlations between the description of the creation of Eve in Genesis 2:21-25 and passages in the New Testament having to do with Jesus and what he did on our behalf in order to redeem his bride.  This episode, the fifth and final part in a 5 part series, concludes with Genesis 2:25 proving that Jesus not only came to redeem a bride, but the bride he came to redeem, is in effect, the last Eve.&lt;/p&gt;

  <itunes:subtitle>In the second part of Genesis 2:23, "the man said...she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.”  In Part III of this series Andy Mendonsa examines the correlating events and person(s) that symbolizes, perhaps both literally and figuratively, the person that Jesus, as Last Adam, calls "woman." Presenting yet even more compelling proof that Jesus came to redeem a bride. </itunes:subtitle>

  <itunes:subtitle>This is the 2nd episode in the series focused on the correlations between the creation of Eve through Adam and Jesus coming to redeem a bride. This episode picks up where episode one left off at the end of Genesis 2:21 and covers all of verse 22 and the first half of verse 23, "The man said, this is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh." Based on the correlation with Jesus for the first part of verse 23, even our traditional views and practices for taking communion (The Lord's Supper), are called into question.

  <itunes:subtitle>Through a multiple part series, the case is made that Jesus, as last Adam, came to redeem a bride.  Beginning with the creation of the first Eve through the first Adam account in Genesis 2:21-25 and then presenting the correlating passages in the New Testament with the last Adam, the evidence appears to be irrefutable that the Church, Christ’s bride, is also the last Eve. What happens, though, when one half (men) of the church does not recognize or believe this is that the other half (women) of the church, by default will be regarded, and even treated, as though they have less kingdom value and worth. </itunes:subtitle>
