What do you think of Incest and the Bible?

[sswilliams2008]

What I think of incest & the Bible:   Adam and Eve were created perfect in every way. Their children were also born physically and genetically perfect. Cain's wife then,  could have been one of his sisters with no problems. (Likewise, many of Adam & Eve's children would have inter-married with no problems.)   God had to temporarily allow intra-family marriages to increase the population.   However, God does not condone near-relative marriages.   If God's command to Israel ("None of you shall approach anyone who is near of kin to him, to uncover his nakedness: I am the Lord." ) (Leviticus 18:6)
been given to Adam and Eve, and they and their children all obeyed it, mankind would have quickly died out.   According to the Bible, all people are descendants of Adam and Eve...all are of “one blood.”  (So, if you don't marry a relation---you don't marry a human.)  

I agree with this. It put answers to my question in a better way and does help me to understand the bible better! Thank you so much for your time and patients in finding and writing this!

We as Christians are not liars or making excuses. 

Yes you are! You guys don't even have common sense.

Excuse me? Calling Christians liars and saying we don't have common sense shows who really doesn't have common sense. I find what you just said very insulting!

You are right; we ALL are descendants from Noah' three sons: Ham, Shem and Japheth. If truth be told, we're ALL related.

Well I am sorry but that's my opinion. You're liars because you believe in a Hell and Devil when there isn't one.

You have irrefutable evidence proving that it doesn't exist? Please do share this with the rest of the world since you've made such the theological find of the century.

I had to take Marieelissa off ignore to see what she was saying.  sswilliams2008, don't worry what Marieelissa says as she's a Christian one month, and the next she's an atheist, or agnostic or whatever she thinks she wants to be at the time.  She's a very confused young lady. I feel sorry for her and pray for her accordingly.  Arguing with her is beating the air and you get nowhere.

the gene pool was "purer" at that time......once DNA gets run out in sequences...."errors" begin to show up and you get a third limb or retardation.....HA...technically Adam was the first one to really screw himself....

I was sitting reading the bible one night I read all the way through Noah and the Arc. Well In the days that God made Adam and Eve, he made other people, animals, day night, all life right? Well he found that the world was corrupt in the days of Noah and his family so he found favor in Noah and had the ark animals and Noah his wife, his sons and their wifes. My question is what happened when God only left these people isn't there incest in order to repopulate the world? Doesn't that mean that we are all related and descendents from Noah? So are we marrying our kin? I don't mean to offend anybody just a few questions I though would be good to clarify. 

Considering there are whites/Blacks/Asians/Latino/Native Americans and so on...we can see this story is False.

That wouldn't necessarily make the story false. It's not believing in evolution that makes it so obviously false.
Oh, and that's not "yet another attack on Christians," some Christians do believe in evolution.

I have the answer to this one: Back then it was necessary to create the human race, it wasn't done out of sin. Today if this happens, it would be done out of a different motive, it would be sin, obviously people that do this are not under pressure to recreate. As there are plenty of people in the world. Back then the Gene Pool was different, so God could create us. It is incest today as our Genes are the same.

That's not lying. If they believe in something they're not lying. You need to think harder before you post. I'm not even Christian and I think you're just being ridiculous and annoying.

Because my God doesn't create things only to send them to hell for any reason what so ever. Even if they don't believe in him.

So you don't have any irrifutable evidence?

Nope, I just don't believe in your God because he isn't anything like what a God should be.

Sorry it's not all unicorns and rainbows and cotton candy.

I don't know of any Christian that believes in the Evolution theory.  They do believe in science of discovery, and that science points to a Creator (Google: "A Case For A Creator" and "A Case for a Savior").  The more science delves into the human body, and the world around us, they realize that all this did not happen by chance, or evolved into who and what we are today.

Any Christian I know believes in the Creation Theory that is spoken of in the book of Genesis.....not evolution.  There are many threads in "Debate and Discuss" that cover this extensively.....very extensively.  If your interested, you can go read them for yourself.  They are quite in depth.
