Incest

The Incest Law came after Adam and Eve´s time, so it doesn´t apply to them. The same way jesus 2 commandments replaced the original 10, in fact there were more than 10, like "don´t shave your beard off" for example, not many people are following that.

Don´t forget Adam and Eve weren´t the only Humans on earth, but the only ones in the garden of eden. When cane was banished he feared being killed by the people outside the garden, where did they come from? Maybe they were Homo Erectus or something?

Plus the laws given were given for reason. Incest is forbidden because it can lead to the birth of a disabled child, this wasn´t the case in adam and eves day as they had a deaper gene pool.

Never heard anything about people outside of Edan, got anything more on that?

sex between cousins{first or second} should NOT be considered incest, its silly, people should get their dna tested to find the risk of supressive alleales surfacing, but otherwise its dum to call it incest{ofcourse unless your marriage is being arranged to your cousin as happenes in over 70% of people in pakistan/india/bengal and the communities of such in foreign countries which is just plain wrong and cumulatively dangerous}, i mean i dont think theres anything wrong with falling for your cousin if u dont feal wierd about it.

logically, the case of brother sister is a lot harder to do justice to. from what i believe, the bonds are not merely blood related, they are actually, because of a past, living together, growing up, and seeing the parent treat the other as a child, same as you. now, assuming you had a situation where a long lost kis meats a girl, they both fall in love{with one believing and having been brought up as an orphan} and develop a relationship. you find out one day, that actually your both brothers n sisters, what do u do? just cause society scorns you and youve been socialised to feal wierd, you say, ewww, thas gross? if that really were true, then what you felt for each other was never true to begin with{and assuming it is, ur just hiding form it}. thas nonesense, you didnt start out believing it was eww and u shudnt now, i think in such a case they should remain together. blood and dna {the way it acts here, "THE SELFISH GENE"} doesnt make these things happen and shudnt break it up. IF they were to have children, they definately owe it to their kids to have a dna check to see the risks and act accrodingly. ofcourse, UNLESS, its this rare case, you shudnt commit incest, because of the emotional/mental bonds that develop{not to mention, the agony which u might put the other due to social influences if u do have full knowledge of each other's lineage}, same goes for boys/girls whove been brought up together but are NOT blood related. even knowing that, because they have those emotional/,mental ties, in there case{in my perspective}, being together is as bad {minus the biological threat} as the knowing brother/sister{related by blood}. also the dynamis, might socially change if you two were the last people on earth{and maybe im guiltyof being influenced by BERTRAND RUSSEL here} would you then let the entire human race die out simply because of some social norm.............i do not know the answer, but im sure it isnt simply YES, and merits contemplation.{for those who are passionate about the human race as a whole anyway}

on a differnt note, i dont think PARENTS and CHILDREN should under almost ANY circumstances be together like that. not only is it biologically TOO deviant{and dangerous, genetically, emotionally, etc} but i doubt any1 at all can retain love, etc genuinly, while still knowing that they are with their children{perhaps the children still might for their parents but not vice versa}. also, and maybe im beeing illogical here, i kinda think with parents and children, you have this mystical kinda responsibility{for parents} to be the parents of children without the presence of social/emotional/mental bonds n stuff. further evidence for this might be that many animal species mate with siblings but almost none with parents/children.

but stil overall, not sumthing u wanna propogate and shud be avoided unless in very rare places.

Genesis 19:30-38

Lot went up from Zoar, and stayed in the mountains, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to stay in Zoar; and he stayed in a cave, he and his two daughters.

Then the firstborn said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come into us after the manner of the earth. Come, let us make our father drink wine, and let us lie with him that we may preserve our family through our father."

So they made their father drink wine that night, and the firstborn went in and lay with her father; and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.

On the following day, the firstborn said to the younger, "Behold, I lay last night with my father; let us make him drink wine tonight also; then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve our family through our father."

So they made their father drink wine that night also, and the younger arose and lay with him; and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.

Thus both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father.

The firstborn bore a son, and called his name Moab; he is the father of the Moabites to this day.

As for the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi; he is the father of the sons of Ammon to this day.

it's just like that: God thought of the big order afterwards. That's why evolution happened. It just didn't in the past 10.000 years because God then thought "I may put an order on all things"

.. I should be careful, I might set up a new Christian theory O.o

"And God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness... So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them."

The word used for man in both instances is "adam" (with some accents and whatnot on it) which means mankind in opposition to the word "Ish" which would have meant a singular male. Instead the plural is used.

Adam's creation is given seperately in Genesis 2:7.

"And the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground...."

In this instance the word man is translated from 'eth-ha'adham which means "this same man Adam".

So it would seem that perhaps God created people both inside and outside the garden of Eden.

Another thing on it is that after Cain kills Abel he goes to the land of Nod where he "knows" his wife and he builds a city. The fact that it is a city indicates that there are other people that might not have known Cain were about. But that is speculation. I find the stronger argument in the fact that God marks Cain so that people that find him won't kill him. This shows that thery would have to be unfamiliar with Cain and his relationship with God and that would possibly indicate that those people that would slay Cain were not related to him.

Romans 5:12 would, unfortunately, disagree with that view:

Therefore, even as through one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin, and so death passed on all men inasmuch as all sinned.

Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

Genesis 4:3:

And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.

Also, Seth was special to Eve because he looked so much like Adam, which suggests that Abel looked a lot like his father--and thus Seth would serve as a sort of "replacement" for Abel.

During these times, many angels fell to lay with women, and so there was another source of genetic material.

When incest was forbidden by the Mosaic Law, it was at a time when

a) genetic degeneration would have gotten to the point when having children with immediate family members would have...tragic results, and

b) there was no more need for inbreeding because of the number of people.

Now, what about Noah?

Noah had a wife and three sons, and his sons had wives. Eight people total. Bottleneck total? Yes. However, God specifically blessed them and commanded them to "be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth." Presumably, this means that their genetics weren't screwed, especially since Noah lived to be 950.

Why hate Incest? If all humans were killed except 2(1 female and one male), you better thank incest if the world is repopulated.

So would Genesis 3:20:

Furthermore, Adam and Eve both live a very long time--and there would have been plenty of time for them to have children.

Genesis 4:3:

We don't know how old Cain is when this happens, but he was old enough to have a wife (and Adam was 130 years old when Eve bore Seth). It's likely that Adam and Eve had more children during this time and Cain married his sister.

Also, Seth was special to Eve because he looked so much like Adam, which suggests that Abel looked a lot like his father--and thus Seth would serve as a sort of "replacement" for Abel.

Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.

After Cain killed Abel and was declared a “fugitive and vagabond” by God (Genesis 4:12), the Bible says that he “went out from the presence of the Lord and dwelt in the land of Nod” (4:16). It was in this land that “Cain knew his wife” (4:17), and it was here that his son, Enoch, was born.

[edit] Oops guess it was already said.

Incest is not only condemned by the Bible, but many other religions, and science.

Its dangerous for the children. Bible stories were not meant to be literal. They are a myth...not a direct word of god.
