Please give me a proof that Jesus said that.

leave his father and his mother and will stick to his wife, and the two will be one flesh’?
A direct quotation from,
(Genesis 5:1-2) . . .This is the book of Adam’s history. In the day of God’s creating
Adam he made him in the likeness of God. Male and female he created them. After
that he blessed them and called their name Man in the day of their being created.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieAre we really sure that Christ said that? We know incredibly little about the life of Jesus from souces from the same time. What we think we know is written down 50 years and more, not by eye witnesses, but others heard by others. To quote Jesus is to quote a hearsay only.

But it is likely that Jesus had this opinion, as others had other opinions. But he had just been taught to think this. It is not a proof that Jesus was right, as it is not the contrary either. We just don't know anything, more than hearsay.
