Craig,
Consider it like this: the origin of every man is Christ – Christ is the agent of God in creation. In I Cor 8:6 Paul has just affirmed that Jesus Christ is the one “through whom are all things.”
The origin of woman is man – Gen 2:;21-23. Woman is “taken out of man .”
The origin of Christ is God – Jesus is Lord. Jesus
comes from God. The origin of Jesus is God.
We use the familiar phrase “the head-waters of a river.” The phrase does not affirm that the water which flows into the Nile is ‘created’ by Lake Victoria but rather, it flows from Lake Victoria. In the same way, “origin of” can here be seen as an affirmation of the divine source from which Jesus has come and affirmation of His divinity.
