When asked about marriage, Jesus took the issue back to the beginning. Since we are disciples of Jesus, we should therefore look at this issue from the beginning. Genesis has two accounts of creation. These are not two events of creation but two different perspectives of creation. Although there is no scientific proof to say that these are historically true, we believe that these accounts present spiritual truths. In Genesis 1:26-27, God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them, and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth. We see several things here.
