Q. What do Christians and Darwinists have in common with one another?

[Right Divider]

Deut. 27:22 ‘Cursed is he who lies with his sister, the daughter of his father or of his mother.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

As a Bible believer, that should be enough for you, even if your instinctive universal repugnance at the thought is missing.

Another thing to note: The book of Deuteronomy was written THOUSANDS of years after the creation of Adam and Eve.

Why did God wait so long to define incest as against the law?

Also note that Deuteronomy literally means "second law"; why was this restriction not included in the FIRST law?

Will you quit with that lie, it's so boringly repetitious.

It's all the boring little troll can come up with...

 

[Arthur Brain]

I find it ironic that those most likely to rail against sexual immorality are now busy arguing for incest.

And arguing slippery slope fallacies about societal acceptance of paedophilia. It's almost hilarious isn't it?

doser's scenario is present tense.

 

[Arthur Brain]

So .... there you go... way off topic .... again.


:rotfl:

Between the two of us, you're the only troll.

It's right on topic. If you can entertain the notion of allegory that is, but fundamentalism doesn't have provision for that does it?

I wasn't referring to you as a troll btw and you've no business calling me one either. Please grow up.

 

[Arthur Brain]

When there was ONLY one man and one woman and their children... how can incest be avoided?

How were Adam and Eve supposed to "Be fruitful, and multiply"?

A simple solution where the problem of incest is solved. Allegory.

 

[annabenedetti]

lain:

Continuing with the admittedly extreme scenario, where there are only two adults left in the whole world.

I don't think we were finished with the first one. Why would the last two people on earth want to do anything other than wait patiently to get to heaven?

 

[annabenedetti]

Ok, so same question.

What is inherently wrong about me and my adult sister getting married?

Biological: genetic
Sociological: disturbs the family unit/order
Religious: supposedly it's an abomination
Philosophical: gross

 

[annabenedetti]

the only reason it's present in you is because you were raised Catholic and it's been drilled into you by the nuns

There is universal human disgust at the idea of incest, it's instinctively built into most of us. Obviously there are are few outliers.

I'm not talking about what ok doser is talking about. I'm talking about what WE were talking about already.

 

[Right Divider]

It's not an allegory. You just claim that it's an allegory because it does not suit your fundamentalism.

Incest was not a problem until God says that it is a problem.

You make anything that you don't like an "allegory".

You just seem to hate God's Word.

What does God say about it?

You replied to a post I made to HIM regarding his current-time scenario.

^ Stock answer. You don't get anywhere with those.

I reply to a lot of posts.

POINT: God created one man and one woman. It's not an "allegory". The Bible makes it clear when it's being allegorical.

POINT: Since Adam and Eve and their children were the only people on the planet, it's either incest or the end of the human race.

You seem to like your traditions a lot more than the Word of God.

 

[Right Divider]

^ Stock answer.

So what... it's true.

How can you be so disregarding with God's Word? Is there anything at all that you actually believe is true in the Bible?

(P.S. We always love the attempted insults ['"those"] :french: )

Why did it become a problem? There's all sorts of problems with incest such as congenital defects for children but it was okay to start with? Allegory is the best explanation and the poetic narrative of the creation account seems obvious, just not to fundamentalists apparently.

 

[Arthur Brain]

Now you're just being ridiculous. Fundamentalism is your restrictive belief system, not mine. I'm not bound by any such thing.

 

[Right Divider]

Why did it become a problem?

Because God made it unlawful.

There's all sorts of problems with incest such as congenital defects for children but it was okay to start with?

Not at the time that it was required and not deemed unlawful by God.

Allegory is the best explanation and the poetic narrative of the creation account seems obvious, just not to fundamentalists apparently.

Nonsense.

The true fundamentals just don't agree with your fundamentals.
