| S3E5 | Adam and Eve, Our Incestors? (Was Incest ok for our Ancestors...)
Revitalize Truth Vol. 2 // S3E5 We all may have asked this question before, "How did the offspring of Adam Eve procreate and avoid the act of incest?" This one can be very difficult to explain, especially to an unbeliever. Also, the unbeliever may use this against the argument of creation and ask you, "what is so good about it, if incest was necessary?"
Again these are tough questions, however Dave Weaver and Yvette Walker discuss this one today in this episode of Revitalize Truth - a sub-series we are doing in season 3.
In this episode to unpack this topic we discuss:
- Morality - This is our starting point as we unpack this. Knowing that God defines what is is right and wrong is a key part of this.
- God's command to "Be fruitful and multiply"
- The purity and goodness of God's creation
- Old Testament Law concerning incest
