  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Is it biblical to marry your father's first cousin?

Is it biblical to marry your father's first cousin? IS it considered incest?

your fathers first cousin is your first cousin once removed.

thats not incest, but you dont want to do that very many generations in a row. You can do that though, no issues.

Well - - the early scriptures have rules about which relatives one may marry and which not.

Leviticus 18:6-18 seems to say who not to marry. I don't see here what could mean a father's cousin.
I mean my grandparent's sibling's child.

It's not there. It's not a close enough relative.
