The New Testament refers to Jesus as the Second Adam, or the Last Adam, and even says that Adam was a prototype of the Messiah. The Biblical Unitarian position easily explains this comparison: Jesus was ontologically exactly like Adam, who was the first human son of God (Luke 3:38). Adam was the son of God who failed, Jesus is the one who was victorious. God's solution to the problem of sin and death was another Adam, God's legal option according to Romans 5:12-19. The Christian story is essentially the tale of two Adams, one who disobeys and loses the Kingdom, the other who obeys and reclaims it.
"…who was the son of Seth, who was the son of Adam, who was the son of God."
"Yet death exercised dominion from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam, who is a type of the one who was to come. But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died through the one man’s trespass, much more surely have the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded for the many. And the free gift is not like the effect of the one man’s sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brings justification. If, because of the one man’s trespass, death exercised dominion through that one, much more surely will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness exercise dominion in life through the one man, Jesus Christ. Therefore just as one man’s trespass led to condemnation for all, so one man’s act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all. For just as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous."
"For since death came through a human being, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a human being. For as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ."
Jesus Belongs to the Creation of God
Jesus is supposedly an uncreated God with no beginning. But the Bible says that Jesus is a member of Creation; he is called the chief of all God's created things.
"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation."
"To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: The amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning (Greek arche: leader/chief) of the creation of God, says this..."
