6. From what book did Jesus there quote, and from what chapters?
6 Jesus Christ asked them: “Did you not read?” Read where? Why, in the first book written by the prophet Moses in the sixteenth century before Jesus Christ. Then Jesus Christ quoted words from the first two chapters of that book, now called Genesis.
7. Where did God marry the first human couple, and what did he say regarding future marriages?
7 Jesus Christ did not say that the human male and female evolved or ascended from some lower form of earthly life, say, from apes, but he said that they were created to be male and female. As such, they were meant to be married as husband and wife. Where were this first man and wife created? The second chapter of Genesis states that the Creator performed the marriage in the Paradise of Pleasure, the Garden of Eden. It was in that Paradise of Pleasure that their Creator, when marrying them, said the words quoted by Jesus: “That is why a man will leave his father and his mother and he must stick to his wife and they must become one flesh.”—Genesis 1:26-28; 2:7-24.
