You have answered your own question and not even realized it...

The eventual "change" is what brought about the problems.

Nothing changed to make it 'not' happen - but, something changed that then made it happen.
Ok so your saying you think that incest was ok and normal for a time? Then God for some reason beyond our understanding puts a stop to incest and condemns it as a sin?
 
Eve is the mother of all the living. So Cain married a niece or grand niece, great grand niece etc. He had
no cousins because Adam and Eve had no siblings, which would have been Cain's aunts and uncles had
they existed, and their children his cousins. Right? Anyways, we do not know the age of Cain when he
wed, but there could have been a lot of people by then, and they would have naturally spread out into
surrounding areas, including to Nod, where he "knew" his wife when she conceived and bore Enoch.
Note that the text does not say he met her there or married her there (some people assume that).
i always enjoy your complete answers.
 
So here’s another tough one. Since Adam and Eve were the first people I have two theories and just interested if y’all have more. Mine are
1. Adam and Eve eventually end up sleeping with their kids?
2. Fallen angels were sleeping with some of them?
Or both?
Before the laws were given to Moses, that incest wasn't unlawful just like homosexuality wasn't. Which homosexuality was a punishment from God to make fools out of a nation. that no one will follow their ways.

Lot gotten his daughter pregnant and they name that child Moab that he started the Moabites clan. And God chosen Ruth to be a part of the bloodline of David which means that clan wasn't considered to God as lawbreakers because it had happened before the laws were given to them.

In the verse it mentions why God made the Sodomites homosexuals. It was because of their wickedness that God didn't want it to spread and to prevent them from populating.

Romans 1:26
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.


 
So my question with that, is why was it ok then but not later and incest has been known to cause birth defects and other issues in your bloodline. What changed between genesis and Leviticus where God then condemned it as a sin?
this is easy to understand. think of adam & eve. 2nd, think of them having kids. 3rd, their kids were the only kids on earth. 4th, God said to multiply. 5th, adam's kids united with each other to produce more kids. 6th, if God didn't allow them to unite, how would mankind populate the earth? that simple. later on, about 1,656 years later, there's something about when sin became to rampant, that's when God called all relative romance off.
 
So my question with that, is why was it ok then but not later and incest has been known to cause birth defects and other issues in your bloodline. What changed between genesis and Leviticus where God then condemned it as a sin?
By "the law of entropy" the originally perfect genetic code began to deteriorate, and mental and physical defects became more likely and noticeable more common as new generations were born.
 
So your saying that you don’t think it was a sin at that time to procreate by incest? I’m not trying to debate just poking likewise minds in Christ. Because in my eyes I don’t see any scriptural evidence supporting that incest wasn’t a sin. And then because I believe it was a sin. I don’t believe God was telling people to have incest because In Leviticus it cuts off all relations between family members I think He stops at like third cousins which would be by marriage anyway and not directly blood related. Appreciate the comment. I love talking about the deeper thoughts of the Bible lol.

There was no divine law against incest before Moses gave the law. Nor was there any divine law against theft or sabbath-breaking, or lying. However, when people condemned their contemporaries for that they also did, they condemned themselves of the same things. When incest caused no defects, no one considered it wrong. When societies noticed a pattern of degeneration among the progeny of siblings, societies made incest taboo. God codified it as selfish behaviour in the Mosaic law.

Appreciate the comment it made me think. So basically I’m at that for some reason it was normal to sleep with family at this point. The culture just changed way back I just can’t wrap my head around brothers and sisters getting married. Lol
 
@homwardbound who were Adam and Eve's brothers and sisters (siblings)?

I do not care anymore to discuss anything more with you. We do not agree, nor see the same, so please let it go
thank you out of respect for you from God Father to you, who will not ever stop loving anyone ever
Thank you for your care in listening to g to me, you be you, I will continue to be me in love to all as called

Adam and Eve did not have brothers and sisters. I wonder why you think they did. It puzzles me.

But their children did...

Okay, I never said Adam and Eve had Brothers and Sisters. okay we good now. I do not care to argue at all ever with anyone.
You stated it differently or I read it differently, no matter, love you and all as God does love us all first by Son for us all
Thank you

Siblings are brothers and sisters.
 
You said Adam and Eve had no siblings, thank you, I get it, thank you
To me that said they had no children, meaning Eve had no sex With Adam and Satan had sex with her
that is the understanding I got. Is that true?
I thank you for continuing to express what you said or meant to be said and understood by me
Things can get easily misunderstood, as Father knows it all and the motives of us all. trusting Father alone as Jesus did throughout his earth ministry, before the risen Life happened where new life resides in it for us all to either believe it between God or not personally, thank you
New life begins at the belief in the risen Son for us, and when one, anyone does, and does not quit, then Father in Father's timing reveals the truth to us, me at least in love beyond first birth understanding
Col 1:21-23

If you read the Bible and not follow the false teachings of carnal-man, you would know this :

Staring in Genesis chpter 1 :

Genesis 1:26
26Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

27So God created man < הָֽאָדָם֙ (ha·'a·dam) strong's 120. adam> in His own image; in the image of God He created him; MALE and FEMALE He created THEM. 28Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it;

>>>> The English word 'adam' is a translation of the ancient Hebrew word, הָֽאָדָם֙ (ha·'a·dam), which means "ALL MANKLIND both male and female".

There is no scripture stating Eve is created with adam, as the first people by God.

In fact Eve is made/ formed/ fashioned by something that was all ready created in :

Genesis 1:26
26Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image,

I did this simpleton inquiry in google , this is what it supplied : "is there a verse saying adam is both male and females in the bible"

  • Genesis 1:27 (KJV): "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them; and blessed them."
  • Genesis 5:2 (KJV): "Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created
Interpretations:

  • Collective Humanity: Many scholars see "Adam" in Genesis 1:27 as referring to humanity as a whole (the "earthling" or "mud-creature"), containing both male and female aspects, before the distinct man (Adam) and woman (Eve) of Genesis 2 are described.
  • Original Androgyny: Some traditions (like Jewish folklore) suggest Adam was initially one being with both male and female characteristics, later separated by God into two, as explained in Genesis 2.
  • Literal Male: Other readings emphasize that "Adam" (man) was created male in Genesis 2, with Eve formed from him as a helper, viewing the "male and female" in Genesis 1 as the distinct people created.
In essence, the Bible contains verses (Genesis 1:27, 5:2) that link the name "Adam" to both male and female creation, leading to diverse interpretations about the nature of humanity's origin

And of course you have to have the ignornce show it;s ugly head :



Jul 1, 2022 — Some LGBT activists state that God originally made Adam as both male and female, the female half (or nature) being removed to then create Eve.

>>>> Again there is no scripture Eve is created.

excerpt:
To "Create" means: - To draw a reality from the realm of the Spirit. - To bring into existence that which is not in existence.

To "Form" means: - To frame. - To bring shape or fashion from something that is already existing.


Jan 17, 2023 — The mud creature is not gendered. It contains both the male and female, which are equally mirrors of God's image.

>>>> This scriptures stumps that false ideology :

John 14:16
And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—

Why is this important?!?

Because the more truer translations read as follows :

Genesis 2:18
And the LORD God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.”

a helper עֵזֶר (ay'-zer) Strong's 5828. ezer

a help, helper
---------------------------------------------------------------

Also take note that "in adam all die", it does not state "in Adam and Eve all die".

1 Corinthians 15:22
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

>>>> Ever wondered why the Word of God NEVER! details Eve's physical death !?!

Adam was formed/made from the dirt/dust of the earth. He was all male/man. Eve was formed/made from one of Adam's ribs. She was all female/woman. Just exactly and precisely like the Bible tells it/us.

I believe you have fallen victim to some of that "false teachings of carnal-man" that you made mention of...
