Quotes #11…Jonathan D. Sarfati 2015

October 9, 2025

In the elaboration of Genesis 1:26-28 in Genesis 2, we see that God first created only one man and one woman. Jesus cited both Genesis 1:27 and 2:24 to teach about Marriage and divorce (Matthew 19:3-9, Mark 10: 2-12).

This is the first passage showing that God ordained marriage as a man and a woman. Since much of the church has abandoned this historical foundation, is it any wonder that marriage is under severe attack in the western world?
