Bible Question (short): What happened to incest? |
Question (full): From the beginning Adam’s children married their siblings (ala "Who married Cain?"). When the Law came along they were forbidden to marry close relatives, specifically siblings.(Leviticus 20:17) So now that Christians are not “under the law”(Romans 6:14), and the New Testament doesn’t even explicitly mention the practice (as far as I remember, or can tell), are Christians Biblically forbidden to marry siblings? Please explain your answer through scripture. |
