To what extent do the limits on marriage between relatives set out in the Mosaic Law apply to Christians today?\n\nThe Law given by Jehovah to the nation of Israel has little to say about wedding ceremonies and procedures. It does, however, set out prohibitions against certain marriage relationships. For example, at Leviticus 18:6-20, we find a list of prohibited relations involving a “close fleshly relative.” That passage goes into considerable detail outlining which fleshly relatives must not enter into sexual relations with each other. Of course, Christians are not under the Mosaic Law or bound by its decrees. (Ephesians 2:15; Colossians 2:14) Even so, this does not mean that Christians can simply ignore this matter when choosing whom to marry. There are a number of reasons why this is the case.\n\nTo begin with, there are secular laws that regulate marriage between close relatives, and Christians are basically obligated to obey the laws of the land in which they live. (Matthew 22:21; Romans 13:1) Such laws, of course, vary from place to place. Most modern laws of this type are based primarily on genetic considerations. It is a known fact that marriage between close fleshly relatives is more likely to expose any offspring to genetic defects and diseases. For this reason and because of their “subjection to the superior authorities,” Christians entering into marriage abide by the local marriage laws.\n\nThen there is the matter of what is acceptable and what is unacceptable in the community in which one lives. Almost every culture has rules and customs that censure marriage between people who are closely related by blood, often viewing such unions as incestuous and hence taboo. Even though the specific relationships proscribed may vary greatly in different cultures, “generally speaking, the closer the genetic relationship between two people, the stronger and more highly charged is the taboo prohibiting or discouraging sexual relations between them,” says The Encyclopædia Britannica. Thus, even where no incestuous relationships are involved, Christians do not want to act with total disregard for established customs or the legitimate sensibilities of the community, so as not to bring reproach on the Christian congregation or on God’s name.—2 Corinthians 6:3.\n\nNot to be overlooked is our God-given conscience. All people are born with a sense of right and wrong, good and bad. (Romans 2:15) Their conscience tells them what is normal and proper and what is unnatural and offensive, unless it has been distorted or deadened by perverted practices. Jehovah alluded to this fact when he gave the Israelites his law against marriage between close fleshly relatives. We read: “The way the land of Egypt does, in which you dwelt, you must not do; and the way the land of Canaan does, into which I am bringing you, you must not do; and in their statutes you must not walk.” (Leviticus 18:3) Christians treasure their Bible-based conscience and do not allow it to be corrupted by the twisted sense of right and wrong of the nations.—Ephesians 4:17-19.\n\nWhat, then, can we conclude? While Christians are not under the Mosaic Law, their conscience tells them clearly that marriage between close fleshly relatives—such as father and daughter, mother and son, brother and sister—is totally unacceptable in the Christian community. As the circle of kinship expands, Christians recognize that there are laws and statutes that govern legal marriage and that there are standards that are socially and culturally acceptable. These must be taken into careful consideration so that we can comply with the Scriptural injunction: “Let marriage be honorable among all.”—Hebrews 13:4.

You can ABSOLUTELY serve the Lord and never be married. It is not for all persons to be married. Paul actually said it was better for man not to be married (so I'll just assume woman too). I think God can really do "more" in some ways with the unmarried folk...just think about it. You aren't responsible for anyone else's life. If God decides to send you cross country, you don't have to figure out how it will disrupt the rest of your family (hubby and children). You should read Marriable (can't remember the authors). It talks all about how God can really use the single and how it is important to fully serve God before you get married. Several of the "relationship" and marriage books in the Christian section actually touch on this subject.\n\nMy only precaution is try not to be bitter. You say you've been hurt, and you don't want to be hurt again. If God ever puts it on your heart that you should get married, you need to listen. We cannot let our fears dictate our futures.

Where did you get the idea that sex is wrong?..There is no written rule there. The bible says "you can be married if you feel you need to be , but you don't have to be".. It actually says "pick one and stay with them" That is Gods own personal advise on that subject!..You don't have to be married, just monogamous. quit kicking your own arse and be in love for pete's sake!

INCEST DOES NOT RESPECT ANYONE. Anyone can be a victim.\n\nBut we can stop it by exposing the attacker to authorities.

I don't know how they can share their husband. Me personally I couldn't do it.I think these women have low self esteem and don't value themselves.I would be jealous and would constantly question his love for me. Guess, I wouldn't have survived in Biblical times...lol

I suppose you're possibly a Christian, a Catholic, a Jew, or a Muslim, right? I believe in the kind of family that God has always had in mind when He created the first couple--Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve or whatever. I strongly believe that same-sex marriage and family should be forbidden and stay illegal.

Possibly but I don't have scripture references.

No. As you have pointed out clearly with the scripture reference.\n\n"For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven."

I wouldn't take anything in the bible literally.

Actually, you are not biblically an adulterous, the Bible does allow for divorce in certain circumstances.\n\nAnd even if you were .... would you go to church and wear a big t-shirt that professed you were an adulterer and demand that everyone accept it?  Would you ask that the church teach the adulterous "lifestyle" to it's children in order to promote more understanding between those who are not adulterous and those who are?\n\nWould you ask to be the leader of the church?\n\nThat's the problem the church has with homosexuals.  Most who sin do so as privately as possible and would never ask that others accept their sin as a part of their nature.  But homosexuals ask that very thing.  This is really the reason why they are not accepted into the church.\n\nBut be a Christian and gay?  Sure, everybody sins, Jesus loves 'em all anyway!

There are a number of passages in the Bible which prohibit fornication before marriage.  However, since fornication is not your intent, it seems obvious that your future MIL is confusing appearance with reality OR she simply does not believe or trust either of you.\n\nDon't be mad at God.  Take heart in the fact that He knows the truth, even if your MIL doesn't.

Unfortunately it would seem to me that for the Bibles conception of marriage and how we must behave both parties would need to be of the same mind. In this sick worlf I imagine that more often than not one or the other would take advantage of the other if only one believed the above philosophy. \n\nI have never married. But when I do, I will follow God commandements. I will also make sure my chosen mate lives a life that is pleasing to the Father so we are of a same mind on such issues as these. \n\nIt is sad, but I work in the domestic violence feild and I ahve seen many women taken advantage of and even their pastors use these Bible verses to keep them with their abusers...and sometimes they end up dead. That is not what God intended.

Yes.  The Bible makes it clear that there is no marriage in heaven.  THey're not waiting for you in heaven as your spouse, they're waiting for you as brothers or sisters in Christ.

It is totally possible to hold Christian beliefs and be gay. It's just not possible to believe that God accept's your lifestyle. The Bible makes it clear that same sexes coming together is an abomination. either give up the penis or Prepare to swim in the lake of fire dude.
