By the way...it's important to note that Jesus believed in a literal Genesis. Look at his discussion about marriage. His response is based on Genesis.

Mat 19:4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made [them] at the beginning made them male and female,

From...

Gen 1:27 So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

And...

Mat 19:5 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?

Mat 19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

From...

Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

I've been over this many times before.

Let's subject Scripture to the same rigorous standard to which you'd subject science.

You cannot say "Jesus believed in a literal Genesis." You can only say the author of Mathew said Jesus believed in a literal Genesis. We do not have any writings of Jesus himself, only what others have said of him.

Now, considering that Genesis has absolutely no correlation with physical reality, and assuming Jesus really had an inside line to God, one can make the safe assumption that the author of Mathew simply made up the quote in question and that Jesus never actually said that.

Amen!

Which is why Christians who don't believe in a literal Genesis foolishly and ignorantly undermine all of Scripture with their synthesized belief mixture.

They just don't think or logic it through.
