Theobite 015: Was God Consistent in Condemning Incest?

08/12/24 • 12 min

From Atheists.org:

"“Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of this mother...” — Deuteronomy 27:22

“And if a man shall take his sister, his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter...it is a wicked thing....” — Leviticus 20:17

[But what was god’s reaction to Abraham, who married his sister — his father’s daughter?] See Genesis 20:11-12

“And God said unto Abraham, As for Sara thy wife...I bless her, and give thee a son also of her...” — Genesis 17:15-16"
Can two Christians deal with this apparent contradiction? Listen in and find out.
