Jesus Created the Institution of Marriage

“So the man named all the animals, the birds of the air, and the living creatures of the field, but for Adam no companion who corresponded to him was found. So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he was asleep, he took part of the man’s side and closed up the place with flesh. Then the LORD God made a woman from the part he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.  Then the man said, “This one at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one will be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.” That is why a man leaves his father and mother and unites with his wife, and they become a new family.” (Gen 2:20–24 NET)

  1. Good point. Since the NT says Jesus is Yahweh, and since the NT also says Jesus is the Creator, then Jesus created man and woman for each other.

  2. Steve,

    Correct. Many think it was the "Father" who created Adam and Eve. However, the New Testament reveals that it was the Son (Jesus) who Creator of the world, including our first parents.
