What's wrong with saying the other regarding Adam if that is true with Christ?

Absolutely nothing, per se, that i can think of. Maybe it could be argued that we are making one human a scapegoat with it--hmm, which is our wont, is it not lol--and, it strikes me as the more "literal" reading of Scripture, which usually strikes me as the more naive approach; but none of these arguments is absolute. I think an equally fair question arises out of that, that being the obvious one about why not consider the other pov, if it illuminates Christ more fully for one. I tried it, and did not die
the Spirit will not let a seeker after Christ go too far off the path, have no fear.
