There's plenty of material in the Bible on that particular subject and it all seems to be in favor of it

In fact, in christianity, God both promoted and despised incest, the promotion being in Genesis 9:1: "And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.", and discouragement can be found in Leviticus 18:6 to 18:25 states : ‘None of you shall approach any blood relative of his to uncover nakedness; I am the LORD. 7 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, that is, the nakedness of your mother. She is your mother; you are not to uncover her nakedness. 8 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife; it is your father’s nakedness. 9 ‘The nakedness of your sister, either your father’s daughter or your mother’s daughter, whether born at home or born outside, their nakedness you shall not uncover. 10 ‘The nakedness of your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter, their nakedness you shall not uncover; for their nakedness is yours. 11 ‘The nakedness of your father’s wife’s daughter, born to your father, she is your sister, you shall not uncover her nakedness. 12 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s sister; she is your father’s blood relative. 13 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s blood relative. 14 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s brother; you shall not approach his wife, she is your aunt. 15 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law; she is your son’s wife, you shall not uncover her nakedness. 16 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife; it is your brother’s nakedness. 17 ‘You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and of her daughter, nor shall you take her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter, to uncover her nakedness; they are blood relatives. It is lewdness. 18 ‘You shall not marry a woman in addition to her sister as a rival while she is alive, to uncover her nakedness.
19 ‘Also you shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness during her menstrual impurity. 20 ‘You shall not have intercourse with your neighbor’s wife, to be defiled with her. 21 ‘You shall not give any of your offspring to offer them to Molech, nor shall you profane the name of your God; I am the LORD. 22 ‘You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination. 23 ‘Also you shall not have intercourse with any animal to be defiled with it, nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it; it is a perversion.
24 ‘Do not defile yourselves by any of these things; for by all these the nations which I am casting out before you have become defiled. 25 ‘For the land has become defiled, therefore I have brought its punishment upon it, so the land has spewed out its inhabitants.'
18:6 to 18:23 refer to incest, and 18:24-25 show how God discourages it.

I know it occurs a few times in the bible

According to the most common religions, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, the whole world developed from two people. So basically we're all inbred.
by Bigcurt on April 13th, 2009
In the bible a lot were doing it back then it almost seemed common

Incest is a universal taboo, this is due to biological reasons (offspring of closely related people has a very high risk of disabilities).
Therefore, pretty much all religions say that incest is bad or a sin. However, for example in the Bible, Lot's daughters committed incest with Lot, and God didn't punish them, and they supposedly were the ancestor of god's holy people, so appearantly the judeo-Christian good isn't too sincere with condemning incest.
by krishna1125 on October 26th, 2009
what does religion say about you gay? we just accept,done reprove. incest has diff meanings. in arabs, daughter of fathers brother is ok, mothers bro is sacred. in hindu it is not, but can marry own sisters daughter, and own moms bro.and so on. culture factor.anthropology and havelok ellis gives all. Lot,s daughters and their progeny all the tribes. go with the law of the situation.

Those people who say Chistianity and God despises incest do not know their Bibles very well! What about Jacob and his 2 wives who were sisters who were also his 1st cousins? What about Abraham and Sarah they were brother and sister. what about Adam and Eve who did their children have sex with? What about in the Song of Solomon where the girl said she wishes her lover was her brother so they could have sex all the time? There are many instances of incest in the Bible and God not only condones it but in most cases even insists upon it. However in all but one case mentioned it was consensual sex and then in the one instance of rape God was upset because the girls brother did not love her and did not marry her.
So Christians do not say God abhores it when that truly isn't the case! His concern was the lack of proper controceptives to prevent unnecissary pregnancies.

YOU WILL BE CURSED, IT SAYS TO TOUCH NO ANIMAL, NOT YOUR FATHERS WIFE, YOUR SISTER, YOUR COUSIN AND YOUR ONLY ONE IS YOUR WIFE, ANN
by Hans1972 on August 1st, 2010
Depends on the religion.
by -Light to the World- on March 11th, 2009
Depends on what you define as incest and what religion you are referring to.
But incest in general terms is a taboo and is forbidden by all religions.
by hanknasty on January 29th, 2010
incest is only condemned because people figured out long ago that it tended to cause birth defects, so people said dont do it and tried to give religious reason for it to support. Now everyone is brought up to assume its a sin or totally nasty..although, who would want to fuck their sister a brother. thats just weird and un-gamely. Only a loser.

prisoner come on be more eloquent.
by sharpjwe on December 14th, 2008
Ok..
Different religions have different views on incest, and what judgements should be made for such an act. Not all religions share the same views.
by prisoner on December 14th, 2008
What's the purpose of the question? How do YOU feel about incest? What do moral people feel about incest? What do athiests feel about incest?
I think most people have ABOUT the same feelings about the subject.
I don't think many people can condone the lifestyle. I would be interested to know which people would recommend it.
by prisoner on December 14th, 2008
but they practice incest
adam and eve where the only creatures made by god
they had children then who had children amongst them thus incest.
in the bible and coran incest is a sin .
yet their supposed to be god put his only creatures in the predicament that incest had to occur . thus the religious books are lies and gods have no clue what they are teaching
by sharpjwe on December 14th, 2008
"but they practice incest"
Who is "THEY"?
.
Where in the bible did it say that Adam and Eves' children, had children with each other?
.
You should rephrase your question then, because you seem to be focused on Adam & Eve, when Christianity is by far NOT the only religion.
If you're interested in what Christians and the Bible say about incest, then your question should be "What do Christians say about incest?"
by prisoner on December 14th, 2008
adam and eve are common to islam and christians
by sharpjwe on December 14th, 2008
and? so?
by prisoner on December 14th, 2008
so the bible and the coran condemn incest
yet adam and eve child en had to commit incest .
thus contradicting the very word of gods
by sharpjwe on December 15th, 2008
Again, Islam and Christianity are only 2 out of hundreds of religions in the world.
Also, show me where in the bible or quran where it says adam & eve's children, had children with each other...
by prisoner on December 15th, 2008
i agree there are hundreds of other religions
but the above two make up for 3 billion that is 50% of the population.
if they did not have children where do we come from?
by sharpjwe on December 15th, 2008
I don't know. I'm not concerned with it. But where in the bible does it say their children had children with each other?
by prisoner on December 15th, 2008
it says god made only adam and eve
so where did the next generations came from?
it does not say . may be another miracle ....
or logically by incest
by sharpjwe on December 15th, 2008
where does it say god made only adam and eve?
by prisoner on December 15th, 2008
read the bible you will find out
it is all lies any how .
thanks john
by sharpjwe on December 15th, 2008
I've read it. And I know it does say their children had children with each other. I'm no expert on the Bible or Religion, but you aren't either.
You can not prove that the Bible is all lies.
by prisoner on December 15th, 2008
you have agreed they practiced incest one lie is enough
by sharpjwe on December 16th, 2008
that was a typo. I meant "And I know it DOESN'T say their children had children with each other"
by prisoner on December 16th, 2008
i said the same . but since god made only adam and evev
you explain how they had decedents?
and clear the issue i said they interbreed incest .
what do you say please be clear to the point and we can close the subject .
i read you profile it say nothing about you?
your read mine you know you i am .
so tell me who you are with the honesty i show and we can better discuss man to man , not ghost to man
by sharpjwe on December 16th, 2008
Show me where in the Bible it says God made only Adam & Eve, and also where it says Adam & Eve's children had children with each other... i'll wait. If you can't show me, then you can't say its lies.
What does my profile or who I am have to do with anything?? I don't care if you know me or not, so why do you?
by prisoner on December 16th, 2008
well since he only made adam and eve how else would you get the next generations>?
by sharpjwe on January 21st, 2009
Like I said, Where in the Bible does it say Adam & Eve were the only people he 'created'?
by prisoner on January 21st, 2009
i do not know you tell me
by sharpjwe on January 21st, 2009
God forms Adam "from the dust of the ground...and man became a living being."[9] God sets the man in the Garden of Eden and permits him to eat of all the fruit within it, except that of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, "for in the day that you eat of it you shall die." God makes "every beast of the field and every bird of the air, ... and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name ... but for the man there was not found a helper fit for him." God causes the man to sleep, and makes a woman from one of his ribs, and the man awakes and names his companion Woman, "because she was taken out of Man."
by sharpjwe on January 21st, 2009
Adam and Eve have two sons, Cain and Abel, the first a farmer, the second a shepherd. Each bring an offering to God, but God rejects Cain's offering. Cain murders Abel, and God then curses Cain: "When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield to you its strength; you shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth." Cain fears that whoever meets him will kill him, but God places a mark on Cain to protect him, with the promise that "if any slays Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold." Cain settles in the land of Nod,[15] "away from the presence of the Lord."[16]
The descendants of Cain are Enoch, Irad, Mehujael, Methushael, and Lamech. Seth is born to replace Abel.[16]
The generations of Adam are described, including Enoch, who "walked with God...[and] was no more, for God took him",[17] Methuselah, and Noah. The antediluvian Patriarchs are notable for their extreme longevity, with Methuselah living 969 years. The list ends with the birth of Noah's sons, from whom all hu

got it
Adam and Eve: Who are They?
Adam and Eve were the first humans, according to the Jewish, Islamic, and Christian religions, and all humans have descended from them. As stated in the Bible, Adam and Eve were created by God to take care of His creation, to populate the earth, and to have a relationship with Him. Their very names are indicative of their roles. Adam comes from the Hebrew adomah, meaning "man." Eve is from the Hebrew for "life." The complete biblical account of Adam and Eve can be found in Genesis 1:26 to Genesis 5:5 .
by sharpjwe on January 21st, 2009
Adam and Eve: The First Parents
Adam and Eve were the first parents. The Jewish, Islamic, and Christian religions hold that all people are descendants from them. According to Jewish tradition, Adam and Eve had 56 children. This was possible, in part, because Adam lived to be 960 years old. Some scholars believe that the length of the life spans of the people of this time was due to a vapor canopy in the atmosphere. This may have made the earth's environment more hospitable to human life and increased life spans. These scholars believe this canopy was destroyed during the Flood and contributed to the great amount of water covering the earth.
by sharpjwe on January 21st, 2009
the more i read the worst it becomes
by sharpjwe on January 21st, 2009
That still does not answer my question.
It says they were the first -- It does NOT say they were the ONLY.
So where does it say they were the ONLY people god created?
Furthermore, if you don't believe that Adam and Eve exsisted, why would you believe they were the only two created?? that doesn't make sense.
by prisoner on January 21st, 2009
well the book is not comprehensible is not my fault ask religious freaks
for me it is all lies , no religion no god
