God told adam and eve to fill the earth. it's entirely likely that siblings had relations together as man and wife. since people lived to be like 900 years old back then, i'm sure the land of nod probably was populated by some of the wayward decendants of adam and eve. it was quite some time later when God first put restrictions on who could have relations with whom, and where certain relations became incestuous. you'll find those restrictions in leviticus... chapter 18 i believe. they extend as far as relations between siblings, direct ancestors/descendants, and between aunt/nephew.

It was said that incest was ok back then and now it was not! I said there is not one contradiction in the Bible and they said the incest thing, I said God is the same yestertoday, today and forever. So I look it up and i could see why he saw that. Since there seems to be a lot sharper men and women of God, i thought i would put it out here and see what happens. e lansing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that since there was no law given by God at the time men and women were to be like rabbits with who ever and when ever? they were to be fruitful and multiply, so yes, like rabbits. but NOT with whomever and whenever they wanted. a man was to leave his parents and cleave unto ONE WIFE. so indiscriminate promiscuity was not allowed. marital sex between two individuals was allowed. God did not forbid marital relations between a husband and wife until levitical law came into being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God did not forbid marital relations between a husband and wife until levitical law came into being. That would also include leaving mother and father to be with sister too right? I know it's not ok today. But it's still a topic worth discussing. And like rabbits? lol. I get what you're saying but we know that marriage in God's eye is more than just sexing it up to continue the human race. I know you already know that, but I figured I'd throw that in too. I guess we're all related in some way aren't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
