Foreign AffairsRe: Republicans Push To Legalize First Cousin's Sex by FellowChristian: 7:49pm On Mar 31, 2024

That was before the Law

The Law was against it and the offspring have Serious Medical Issues
sorry to interrupt, are you saying this from a “multi generation” first cousin marriage or “once in a blue moon” first cousin marriage ?

Because from a logical standpoint, it is very interesting that many first cousin marriage I heard of (once in a blue moon) , have at least 2-5 healthy children.

This is very interesting, because it’s like wine.

God does not forbid you to drink wine (obviously), but God does not like it when you become Drunk (over drinking) !

My friend, there is a connection here.


Even let’s say two “unrelated couple”, who are the carrier of the same genetic defect (there are many people like this in the world). Because science proves that such union of the two “unrelated couple” would , not definitely, have serious medical issues. Does that mean Now the law specifically against these two “unrelated couple” to have union ? All because of the medical issue ?

Again, it is important to keep in mind of the medical issue because of the baby, but at the same time, You can’t put words in God’s mouth. That’s bad…



Hence, suggestion would be to know your Family history, genetic counselling, And Most Importantly, Rely On God. Because if it was meant to Be From God. Who can take it ?






Bible references:

I know many of you would like to talk about Leviticus, and I’m not here to talk about wether if God missed the word “cousin” or not.


Here is Numbers, a book right after Leviticus.

Numbers 36 :10-11

(NRSV Catholic Edition) remember I didn’t buy this, I got this from my Catholic church that does not like First cousin Marriages.


“The daughters of Zelophehad did as the Lord had commanded Moses. Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, married sons of their father’s brothers”

Sons Of Their Father’s Brothers. (First Cousin) or (First Cousins)



*starting here, I’m writing this with My Rosary In Hand*

Back To Leviticus, I just read it again, It doesn’t say Cousin.

Some might say, “look *redacted*, it says None of you shall approach anyone near of Kin to uncover unclothedness: I Am The Lord”


For Those, Forgive their Language My Lord ✝️

1. It clearly states what Near of Kin is, through the list

2. Which is also why, during the list, God didn’t add “I Am The Lord” at the end, because God is listing what Near of Kin is and he is not done yet. Interestingly, in Leviticus 18:30 “I Am The Lord Your God” it ends with.



3. The Book of Numbers, Numbers 36 :10-11. This is Right after Leviticus (The Very one with “None Of You Shall Approach Anyone Near Of Kin To Uncover unclothedness I Am The Lord.” ) , Under Moses Watch, Under God’s Command for them to marry within Clan.



To sum up for this, it is wrong to say This is God’s Law, Or This Isn’t God’s Law. If God Has already Said, or do Something About this In The Bible. To Add, To Put, And To Remove God’s Holy Words, is bad….

In addition, in the past, There are many First Cousin marriages, Because of the isolation and so on. And We must admit that, without these unions (siblings, half siblings are rarely heard compare to the whole world) the “human race” most likely, would not be as what it is right now. Hence, God knew this (*)



Back to science:

(*) which is why You heard of a lot of First cousin couples having Kids. Surprisingly, pushing the inbreeding coefficient beside, they are just possible to have healthy kids, compare to siblings and half siblings. Hence DNA Range is different for everyone, might be more or less than 12.5% . (Siblings are 50%, Half Siblings are 25%)


The “view”:


Pointing things from How God sees things and How Human sees things.

A “normal” human marrying a “prostitude”.

In some human eyes (with sins), this is bad and why would you even choose her ?


In God’s eyes, she is still a human, no different from any of us.


Culture is weird, it can change and adapt due to human’s view (with sin). But In God’s Holy Eyes, it never changes, unless he said so or do so.

Change: such as Cousin marriages ( before AD 506 , cousin marriages were allowed in Church (without dispension), food (such as eating horse and rabbits) and so on



Adapt: gay marriage, abortion and so on (there are some in mind but…)


Another example could be

“Someone marrying a paralytic “

Human view: he/she would cause problems to you, health, emotionally, and so on



God’s view: He doesn’t even see the problem.

By the way, we do realize that pure hereditary spastic paraplegia can be passed down yes ? (Medical issue)


Conclusion:

God does not forbid you to drink wine (obviously), but God does not like it when you become Drunk (over drinking)


Many people sees First cousin marriage as “immediately doomed” because they looked at the
“multi generation” first cousin marriage” community (satan might be at work).

But is drinking 1 cup of wine really gonna cause people to be drunk ? Or is it only certain couple who sadly inherited the same recessive gene ?

Read “Numbers”

Again, science says that it is bad, but at the same time, it really depends on that couple.


Mostly, “multi generation of first cousin marriage” would lead you to be drunk. Why would you even over drink ?


Please please please, know your Family history, then go to genetic counselling, And Most Importantly, Let God Work, ****** if it truly meant to be******* (might need to do some self test) . No one can take it From What God Gave You.
