British royalty married themselves (cousins) to keep the blood line pure. This same guys brought Christianity to us which we are currently practicing zombie-ishly and unquestioningly...so So if our white Masters did it then it's absolutely okay. Right?.... |

AleAirHub:I seem to disagree with that pastor's statement of it being legal, that is why I need evidence from the Bible where it is written not legal. Thank you |

Shedrack777:everyone are your cousins na, so ask the right question. The questions should be what distant? |
Re: Is Cousins Marriage In Christianity Forbidden? by OkunrinMeta: 8:35am On Mar 31, 2019 |
Shedrack777 As shown below, there was a time when God not only allowed it, he commanded it. It's obviously allowed according to the bible that's the answer to your question. But because you can do something does not mean you should do it. And you should always obey the law if it's illegal where you live. The Bible requires us to give to ceasar what belongs to ceaser. Means obey the law... unless it forces you to commit a sin. The family heads of the clan of Gilead son of Makir, the son of Manasseh, who were from the clans of the descendants of Joseph, came and spoke before Moses and the leaders, the heads of the Israelite families. 2 They said, “When the Lord commanded my lord to give the land as an inheritance to the Israelites by lot, he ordered you to give the inheritance of our brother Zelophehad to his daughters. 3 Now suppose they marry men from other Israelite tribes; then their inheritance will be taken from our ancestral inheritance and added to that of the tribe they marry into. And so part of the inheritance allotted to us will be taken away. 4 When the Year of Jubilee for the Israelites comes, their inheritance will be added to that of the tribe into which they marry, and their property will be taken from the tribal inheritance of our ancestors.” 5 Then at the Lord’s command Moses gave this order to the Israelites: “What the tribe of the descendants of Joseph is saying is right. 6 This is what the Lord commands for Zelophehad’s daughters: They may marry anyone they please as long as they marry within their father’s tribal clan. 7 No inheritance in Israel is to pass from one tribe to another, for every Israelite shall keep the tribal inheritance of their ancestors. 8 Every daughter who inherits land in any Israelite tribe must marry someone in her father’s tribal clan, so that every Israelite will possess the inheritance of their ancestors. 9 No inheritance may pass from one tribe to another, for each Israelite tribe is to keep the land it inherits.” 10 So Zelophehad’s daughters did as the Lord commanded Moses. 11 Zelophehad’s daughters—Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milkah and Noah—married their cousins on their father’s side. 12 They married within the clans of the descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in their father’s tribe and clan. 13 These are the commands and regulations the Lord gave through Moses to the Israelites on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho. 2 Likes |

we got christainity from the white. historically, the European Kings and queens always married themselves, so it is easy to find first cousins marrying each other. now in the Bible if I can remember a bit, Abraham sent his servant to his cousins house to find a wife for isaac |

DavidEsq:Do not add or subtract from Scriptures! Leviticus was A DETAILED BOOK the instructions were Strict! Don't add to it! DON'T ASSUME! . It didn't forbid marriages between cousins. in the rabbinic literature, Sarah is considered Abraham's niece (the daughter of his brother, Haran). Isaac married Rebekah, his first cousin. Isaac and Rebekah's firstborn son Esau married his cousin Mahalah, daughter of his father's brother Ishmael, while their second son Jacob married his cousins Leah and Rachel, daughters of his mother's brother Laban. Marriage of cousins was not forbidden in biblical law. Study your Bible o! 4 Likes |

AleAirHub:Aren't you a Christian? Is the bible not your guiding scripture any more? The last time I checked, there is no scripture or religion in this planet earth that forbids cousins marriage. Not even people that do not believe in God forbids it. America, France, Spain, Israel and all those developed countries practice cousins marriage going by their history. Therefore, don't deceive yourself unless you want to promote your personal opinion or culture over your religion's view. Common sense should tell you how the world started talking about Adam and Eve, how they multiplied and the world now became what it is today. 1 Like |

How on earth will someone consider marrying ANYONE related to him? I knew part of Ghanaian culture allowed it with the notion that 'close relatives will be able to take care of themselves properly' ' Nonsense! Even medical experts regularly speak against it. |

Prohibited to you (For marriage) are:- Your mothers, daughters, sisters; father's sisters, Mother's sisters; brother's daughters, sister's daughters; foster-mothers (Who gave you suck), foster-sisters; your wives' mothers; your step-daughters under your guardianship, born of your wives to whom ye have gone in,- no prohibition if ye have not gone in;- (Those who have been) wives of your sons proceeding from your loins; and two sisters in wedlock at one and the same time, except for what is past; for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful;- Quran 4:23 3 Likes 1 Share |

Op,your question has indeed stirred up a lot of curiosity in me when I read Leviticus. From scriptural references is it not forbidden,but Heb 5 vs 14 did justice to your above question. |

Gen.24:29 Gen.25:20 Gen. 28:2 Gen.29:14 Gen.29:16-19 Genesis 28:1-2 (KJV) And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan. Arise, go to Padan-aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother. Genesis 29:12, 14-21 (KJV) And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son: and she ran and told her father. And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month. And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be? And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured. And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter. And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me. And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her. And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her. You can see the Bible didn't forbid that, but some culture do. And the Bible is higher than any culture. 1 Like |

jjohndoe83: Did you read all the biblical examples shared of people who married their cousins. There was a time in numbers 36 where God told some people they must marry their fathers kins and they married their cousins as those were the only relatives you are allowed to marry by the law of Moses.
