Inerrant Lie #68

Another lie from "God's ineffable, inerrant word":

According to Matthew, Jesus of Nazareth told a lie about the identity of the one whom Moses' book of Genesis credits with making Adam and his wife.

Notice especially the first three words of the passage cited by Jesus in the lie told: "23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh [Genesis 2:23 & 24]."

According to the apostle Matthew, Jesus, when holding forth on the subject of marriage said: "4 Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh [Matthew 19:4b - 5]?"

Did we create ourselves? If so, Jesus' lie would at least be true in spirit; but his query "Have ye not read?" makes what Jesus said false witness of what Moses wrote in Genesis. Moses credited Adam– not his creator– with the statement in question.
