Man and sin
We believe God created man male and female in His own image. God commanded them to be fruitful and multiply, to fill the earth and subdue it, and to have dominion over creation. God’s creation and mandate to Adam and Eve, a real man and woman, establish the model for the family, and, therefore, marriage is to be exclusively between one man and one woman.
